	Five percent is considered a reliable efficiency for OPVs at this time. This low efficiency is tolerable if the production expense is small compared to silicon devices. OPVs are projected to become economically viable at 10-11% efficiency.		Five percent is considered a reliable efficiency for OPVs at this time.

	Solar cells currently on the market are almost all Generation I devices made from crystalline silicon, considered to be a "mature" technology. They are somewhat expensive to produce because of the high processing costs needed to create silicon cells with sufficient purity and long range-order. See [[Types of Solar Cells]]		Solar cells currently on the market are almost all Generation I devices made from crystalline silicon, considered to be a "mature" technology.

	A 42% annual growth rate of cumulative installed PV capacity has been fairly steady in recent years and been accompanied by a steady decrease in the price of solar modules (per watt), from nearly $100 in 1976 down to an average of $4. In 2005, for the first time in history, a total of over 1 Gigawatt (GW) of power capacity was added, increasing the cumulative installed capacity to a value of 3.7 GW in established industrial countries. The greatest proportion (85%) was provided by Germany and Japan alone.
