From an IEA perspective, a landmark in 2010 has been the publication of the IEA PV Roadmap which
estimates an 11 % contribution of photovoltaics to the global electricity supply by 2050 as feasible,
corresponding to more than 3 000 GW of installed capacity or more than 4 500 TWh of electricity.
Compared to the estimated installed capacity on the order of 35 GW at the end of 2010, this means
about a 100-fold increase over the next 40 years. Many PV stakeholders think that more is possible but
already these numbers are impressive and challenging at the same time. Another relevant message of
the IEA PV Roadmap is the fact that the coming decade will be decisive for the future role of photovoltaics
in a sustainable electricity supply.

Scientists at Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, have further boosted the energy conversion efficiency of flexible solar cells made of copper indium gallium (di)selenide (also known as CIGS) to a new world record of 18.7 percent -- a significant improvement over the previous record of 17.6 percent achieved by the same team in June 2010.
