Under light filtered to simulate about 10 meters depth, the cell converted roughly 35 percent of incoming energy to electricity, versus about 20 percent for silicon panels; after 40 days submerged in seawater it retained 99.6 percent efficiency, projecting a 5.5-year useful lifetime before dropping to 80 percent output.
