I wouldn't say a hurdle, but if we could raise the efficiency in commercial panels, it could be the final nail needed. Currently the efficiency for commercial panels is around 17-18% - the best go up to 23%. There have been very little movement on this number over the past couple of decades.
One of the simplest solution for this is to split the incident light into several monochromatic wavelengths and feed each one to a panel specifically designed for that range. Early trials suggest this could push efficiencies to the 40-50% range.

Feel free to fight about nuclear and power storage
Seriously, every time this topic comes up on reddit the whole comment section is complaining about nuclear. We get it!
