Developing a technical framework for testing printed solar technology

Help shape the future of solar energy. This iPhD project will develop a new technical framework for testing printed solar technologies—an emerging class of ultra-lightweight, flexible photovoltaics. Current international standards were designed for traditional, rigid panels and don't adequately address the unique characteristics of printed solar. Your research will fill this gap, leading to new testing methods that could accelerate the commercial adoption of printed solar and enable its use on structures that can’t support conventional panels. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the next generation of clean energy technologies with real-world impact.
