Notable that 'natural' photosynthesis only has a 1% efficiency at producing biomass. The best plants get 2%.

That's really low compared to standard solar panels at 20% efficiency, or expensive lab solar panels at 47% (output: electricity).

Basically, we have already beaten nature. Aiming to copy nature at this game is probably fruitless.
