Solar city, smart city: Transforming the urban energy landscape

Completing a rapid transition to net zero carbon is vital to Australia and the world’s economic, political and environmental future. Renewable sources of energy - and solar photovoltaics (PV) in particular - will drive and enable this transition.
The potential applications of solar PV extend beyond conventional rooftop panels and large-scale arrays to encompass truly building-integrated technology, including transparent windows capable of generating power.
Our presenters Professor Anita Ho-Baillie and Professor Jacek Jasieniak will talk about national and global trends in photovoltaics deployment, discuss what the next generation of solar cells will look like, and how their research fits into this picture. Their talks will explore relevant photovoltaics work taking place within the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science.
The event will be opened by Exciton Science’s Director, Professor Paul Mulvaney of the University of Melbourne. Following the presentations, Director of the Melbourne Energy Institute, Professor Michael Brear of the University of Melbourne, will moderate a panel discussion, followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
Join us for an hour of networking and conversation after the presentations, where snacks and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshment will be provided.
