The research tasks explore innovative ideas investigating the impacts of photovoltaic (PV) systems selection and their impacts on localised power generation for building integrated photovoltaic systems (BIPV). Modifications to the PV systems to enhance their power generation efficiency will be examined to satisfy the increasing demand and reduce maintenance of the systems under tropical context. This research will run in parallel with two other research projects at the Tropical Technology (T2) Lab related to productive façade and natural ventilation in the tropical environment.
