The 2020 photovoltaic technologies roadmap

Abstract: Over the past decade, the global cumulative installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity has grownexponentially, reaching 591 GW in 2019. Rapid progress was driven in large part byimprovements in solar cell and module efficiencies, reduction in manufacturing costs and therealization of levelized costs of electricity that are now generally less than other energy sourcesand approaching similar costs with storage included. Given this success, it is a particularlyfitting time to assess the state of the photovoltaics field and the technology milestones that mustbe achieved to maximize future impact and forward momentum. This roadmap outlines thecritical areas of development in all of the major PV conversion technologies, advances neededto enable terawatt-scale PV installation, and cross-cutting topics on reliability, characterization,and applications. Each perspective provides a status update, summarizes the limiting immediateand long-term technical challenges and highlights breakthroughs that are needed to addressthem. In total, this roadmap is intended to guide researchers, funding agencies and industry inidentifying the areas of development that will have the most impact on PV technology in theupcoming years
