And if you double the efficiency, would that not halve the required surface area, for example?
For reference, module nameplate production yield per square meter has probably increased 30%ish in 5 years. That’s a swag so anyone feel free to correct me with data.

Decent home grade solar panels are about 20% efficient. As a percentage increase over 15% that is significant. Also, I assume commercial panels would be a bit more efficient. Finally, for home use, covering a black roof with black panels has zero impact on absorbed heat.
