This article is very misleading. Solar is measured in power/area, not power/weight. Telling us the power/weight ratio merely tells us that these cells can be produced cheaply. 18 times more power per kg, but weighing 100 times less, means that if I have 2 solar panels with the same surface area, the one made from the new material will produce 0.18 …

Abstract As a dominant metallization technique of crystalline silicon solar cells, screen printing with silver paste has been generally used in photovoltaic industries. In case of the silicon heterojunction solar cells (SHJ) structure, a metal contact with silver paste has lower electrical conductivity than pure silver due to the other compositions of the paste.
