With an emphasis on green building practices and sustainable urban development, there has been a growing interest in Singapore for integrating photovoltaic modules into facades and other building elements. Backed by government initiatives for the large-scale adoption of solar and a targeted >2 GWp of deployed PV capacity by 2030, the R&D focus is therefore also shifting towards building-attached PV (BAPV) and building-integrated PV (BIPV), here collectively called “BIPV”, as a solution to increase the deployment options in space-constrained Singapore. When moving into the vertical parts of a building, however, design and aesthetics become a critical factor for the seamless integration into the urban landscape. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in advancing BIPV research, contributing to the evolution of relevant module, and system technologies and shaping future sustainable building practices in Singapore and the region. This position offers the unique opportunity to be at the cutting edge of research in BIPV with a clear path towards test-bedding, deployment and later commercialisation.
