Abstract
Industry roadmaps have played a major role in the microelectronics industry in focussing manufacturers, researchers and equipment suppliers on common targets for future technology development. In 2010, the first roadmap for the photovoltaics industry was published, with a major update published recently at the end of March 2012.
The key features of the new roadmap will be described. Particularly interesting are variations from the previous 2011 roadmap as these indicate refinements in thinking about the future of the industry based on the very rapid progress over the last year.
