California Moves to Require 100% Clean Electricity...
I would assume it would be better to use 30%-40% effecient panels that will come out in 10 years than forcing everyone on the current 23% tech.

It is
extremely
unlikely that commercial cells will be high-efficiency multijunction in 10 years.
Silicon has been dominant for decades, and its lead in cost-effectiveness has only grown.

Efficiency is pretty much irrelevant when the land in question is worthless. You just cover more land. With current utility-scale equipment you need only 300000 acres of PV to generate all power demanded in California today.
