The article tells you the answer to your question. Search for "1,000".
Edit: Apologies, I misread the parent's question. I thought they were saying "1,000 what?". Sorry about the unhelpful answer.

Non of that can be answered just yet. This is basic research in its earliest stages.
It can't even be answered theoretically, because the researchers are in the process of developing the theory that could answer these questions.
So far they only made an observation and need to go on from there.

No it doesn't. The 1000x factor refers to the photo-response of the material, not power output, not cost to produce, not durability.
All these are properties of a (prototype-)product, while this research is basic research and didn't create any prototypes. The researchers measured the photo-response by shining laser light onto a sample, they didn't build a panel and measured the power output.

It’s 1000x more than some unstated efficiency.

Not 1000x net output since we are in what now, 10-20% efficiency with current available cell technology? That would not make sense.
Re: Crystal arrangement results in more power from ferroelectric solar cells
#10Reminds me of my masters research at university. My work was based on hybrid organic-inorganic solar devices based on boron subphthalocyanine chloride and an optimised optical spacer layer. One day, one variation of the type of cell I was producing was over double the output efficiency of what we usually expected. Was exciting until we realised the solar testing rig had been erroneously set to the equivalent output of two suns...
