Preet Sajan

Dr. Preet Sajan is an active researcher at the University of Reading specializing in renewable energy systems and sustainable building technologies. His work bridges photovoltaic engineering with architectural design and end-of-life resource management.

His research focuses on critical energy infrastructure challenges:

• Optimization of building-integrated photovoltaic systems for extreme climates
• Recycling technologies for silicon-based solar panels
• Circular economy models for renewable energy waste streams
• Climate-responsive building envelope design

Recent publications demonstrate leadership in high-impact journals like Building Engineering and the Journal of Cleaner Production, addressing urgent gaps in cold-climate solar integration and sustainable panel disposal. His 2025 work pioneers multivariate optimization for double-skin façades in composite zones, while his 2024 review systematically analyzes recycling barriers and future pathways for the solar industry.

As a doctoral-qualified researcher, Dr. Sajan contributes to advancing sustainable energy infrastructure through rigorous technical analysis and systems thinking, with implications for global decarbonization efforts in both construction and renewable sectors.
