Vector Green expands into BIPV through partnership with Far East Green Energy

Vector Green is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Far East Green Energy Technology (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., expanding its solar capabilities into Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and creating new opportunities to integrate renewable energy generation directly into Singapore’s built environment. 

The partnership agreement was signed by Mr Ben Teng, Managing Director of Vector Green, and Mr Zhu, Deputy CEO of Far East Green Energy, marking an important step in expanding Vector Green’s renewable energy offering beyond conventional rooftop solar PV. 

Building on Vector Green’s years of experience in delivering solar projects across Singapore, the partnership represents a natural extension of its engineering capabilities beyond conventional rooftop solar PV. Through the partnership, Vector Green will offer Far East Green Energy’s LIGHT Series of BIPV products to the Singapore market as part of its renewable energy portfolio, enabling solar generation to be incorporated into building façades and other suitable architectural surfaces. 

Far East Green Energy builds on the BIPV technology and façade expertise of Far East Facade, with capabilities spanning product development, manufacturing and project implementation. Its LIGHT Series combines photovoltaic generation with building material functionality and can be customised to complement different architectural designs and finishes. Its BIPV technology has also been applied locally at Hotel Indigo Changi Airport, demonstrating its application within Singapore’s built environment. 

For Vector Green, BIPV expands what is possible when assessing the solar potential of a building. With Singapore’s limited land and competing demands for rooftop space, solar deployment increasingly requires looking beyond conventional roof areas and considering how other suitable building surfaces can contribute to renewable energy generation. 

Vector Green’s experience in solar engineering, system design, deployment and integration provides the foundation to bring these technologies into practical applications. With BIPV added to its portfolio, Vector Green can support building owners, developers, architects and industry partners from early-stage feasibility and design coordination through to system integration and implementation. 

BIPV also supports a broader approach to sustainable building design. Instead of treating renewable energy as a separate system added after a building is designed, photovoltaic generation can become part of the buildingenvelope itself. This can help buildings increase onsite renewable energy generation, reduce reliance on grid electricity and lower operational carbon emissions, while maintaining architectural design considerations. 

“Over the years, our work in solar has given us a strong understanding of what it takes to bring renewable energy projects from design through to implementation in Singapore. BIPV is a natural next step for us as we look beyond conventional rooftops and explore how more parts of a building can contribute to renewable energy generation. Through our partnership with Far East Green Energy, we can combine their BIPV technology with our engineering and integration capabilities to bring these opportunities into practical applications,” said Mr Ben Teng, Managing Director of Vector Green. 

The LIGHT Series will complement Vector Green’s existing renewable energy solutions in Singapore, including conventional solar PV, battery energy storage systems and microgrid design, further strengthening its ability to develop integrated solutions around the energy needs, architecture and physical constraints of different facilities. 

Through this partnership, Vector Green continues to broaden how it applies its energy engineering capabilities to the built environment, helping buildings not only consume energy more efficiently, but also unlock more of their available surfaces to generate clean energy onsite.
