Event Details

Event Overview

As Singapore moves towards our target of 1.5GWp of solar capacity in 2025 and 2GWp by 2030, we explore the challenges and opportunities to expand solar deployment beyond rooftops with Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and Infrastructure Integrated Photovoltaics (IIPV). This event brings together industry experts, researchers, and manufacturers to discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field of photovoltaics (PV) and its integration into various structures.


Event Objectives

1. Explore the potential of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and infrastructural-integrated photovoltaics (IIPV) in transforming our energy landscape.

2. Showcase the latest innovations, technologies, and materials in the field of photovoltaics for building and infrastructural integration.

3. Foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers.

4. Discuss the economic, environmental, and societal benefits of integrating photovoltaics into buildings and infrastructure.

5. Address challenges and barriers to the widespread adoption of BIPV and IIPV and identify potential solutions.


Event Highlights

1. Panel Discussions experts to share their insights, discuss emerging trends and debate key topics related to BIPV and IIPV.

2. Technical Presentations covering a wide range of topics, including advanced PV materials, innovative installation techniques, research into IIPV, and BIPV digitalization.

3. Exhibitions: An exhibition area will showcase the latest products.

4. Networking Opportunities: Participants will have ample opportunities to network with fellow professionals, researchers, and policymakers.
