Similar. Retail panels can go as low as $0.2/W for the end consumer, so assume that manufacturing costs are $0.1-0.16/W for standard solar panels.

But these are translucent. They'll be put onto windows. So even if they're 50% more expensive, it's serving an adjacent use-case.

The more interesting figure is they're getting 160W/m^2. That's very large, and it'll be a big deal considering there is more vertical surface area than rooftop area on buildings. Standard solar panels get about 220W/m^2.
