Triggered by the situation of the global economy, 2009 has been a year with uncertainties and difficulties for some of the photovoltaic markets and industries. Prices for solar modules have seen strong reductions throughout the year. At the same time, photovoltaics is increasingly seen as a long term and significant option for a sustainable energy supply, keeping it as a promising sector for investment, an important part of various economic recovery plans throughout the world as well as a subject of increased and long term R&D strategies. Important initiatives affecting both the technical and the market development of photovoltaics could thus be observed in the USA with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. In Europe, discussions have been ongoing in the context of the 2020 Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan and the launch of a Solar Europe Industry Initiative (SEII). Japan has introduced a new power purchase programme with increased purchase prices. The European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) has concluded a detailed study (SET for 2020) analysing the conditions for a 12 % share of the European electricity supply through photovoltaics by 2020. As a leading international network of expertise, IEA PVPS has the mission and privilege to cooperate on a global level in this rapidly evolving technology area. IEA PVPS undertakes key collaborative projects related to technology progress, cost reduction and rapid deployment of photovoltaics in various applications. Providing objective and neutral high- quality information about relevant developments in the photovoltaic sector remains our highest priority. Due to the increasing recognition of photovoltaics as an important future energy technology, the interest in the work performed within IEA PVPS is continuously expanding. Outreach for new membership within IEA PVPS continued in 2009. The Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) from the United States joined the PVPS Programme as the 24th member during the year. I welcome SEPA as the most recent IEA PVPS member and look forward to a long and fruitful cooperation. Contacts have been ongoing with China, Greece, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and Thailand. On the Task level, two new Tasks have been established within the PVPS programme in the year 2009: Task 13 on Performance and Reliability of Photovoltaic Systems and Task 14 on High Penetration of PV in Electricity Grids. Both projects have found broad support and interest from various PVPS members and will start their operational work in the year 2010. The overall communication efforts were continued through systematic distribution of PVPS products at conferences, workshops and by means of direct mailings. Communication was further supported by the PVPS website www.iea- pvps.org. Moreover, booths at the industry exhibition of the 24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference in Hamburg (Germany) and Solar Power International in Anaheim, CA (USA) attracted a large number of visitors and provided an excellent forum for dissemination purposes. 2009 was another productive year for PVPS with many new results from the various ongoing projects. With the conclusion of Task 10 on Urban Scale PV Applications, this project has seen a number of publications of high value. The detailed results are given in the Task reports of this annual report and all publications can be found at the PVPS website. I would like to congratulate all Tasks on their progress and achievements. The current status of photovoltaics in the PVPS member countries is described within the country section of this annual report. A number of Executive Committee members have left us during the year, heading for new responsibilities or horizons. I would like to thank them for their strong support and valuable contributions. With this, I take the opportunity to thank all Executive Committee members, Operating Agents and Task Experts, who by their dedicated efforts, contribute to the collaborative work and success of PVPS.

Abstract A survey on prototype and currently commercial dynamic tintable smart windows has been carried out. The technologies of electrochromic, gasochromic, liquid crystal and electrophoretic or suspended-particle devices were examined and compared for dynamic daylight and solar energy control in buildings. Presently, state-of-the art commercial electrochromic windows seem most promising to reduce cooling loads, heating loads and lighting energy in buildings, where they have been found most reliable and able to modulate the transmittance up to 68 percent of the total solar spectrum. Their efficiency has already been proven in hot Californian climates, but more research is necessary to validate the products for colder climates, and to improve furthermore the commercial products in order to control the indoor climate in a more energy efficient way by reducing both heating and cooling loads. Keywords: Transparent conductor, Smart window, Electrochromic window, Gasochromic window, Liquid crystal window, Suspended-particle window, Electrophoretic window, Daylight control, Solar energy control.
