Abstract

A description of terrestrial photovoltaics (PV), what it is and what it accomplishes, and a very brief historical perspective of its development are presented. Today's leading technologies are identified and discussed. Current areas for improvement and suggestions for future R&D focus are presented. Information is provided on the latest developments in terms of efficiencies, cost, industry output and prospects. The most suited applications are also addressed.
