Silicon solar cells have fundamental physical limits to efficiency. They will
probably squeeze out another few percent from them, but standard rooftop silicon solar cells cannot get above ~32%:

There are more advanced technologies that have higher efficiency limits, but I doubt they will be commercially competitive for rooftop solar any time soon.
