ClearVue Technologies Improves Energy Generation and Reduces Production Costs in Gen3 Solar Vision Glass Tests

Prototypes of ClearVue Technologies’ (ASX: CPV) Gen3 solar vision glass have demonstrated increased energy generation and reduced production costs during independent trials by the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS).

The product delivered more than 66% additional energy output per square metre compared to ClearVue’s previous generation glass, with processing time for a double-glazed unit cut by more than 50%, driving a material reduction in production costs and enabling rapid scalability.

Streamlined engineering reduced the number of manufacturing components from 17 to seven, leading to reduced production complexity and more efficient cell cutting, with aluminium and several other raw materials used in previous generation solar vision glass removed, significantly lowering the embedded carbon content.

Market Flexibility

Chief executive officer Douglas Hunt said the new technology, engineering and manufacturing parameters of Gen3 glass would deliver flexibility for global markets.

“We are excited about the breakthroughs achieved during testing which have demonstrated significant performance improvements,” he said.

“Higher energy generation and lower production costs will help our customers offset more of their building operational energy use while further shortening payback periods.”

He said the test results marked a historic inflection point and positioned ClearVue as a disruptive force in solar-integrated building materials.

About Gen3 Glass

ClearVue’s Gen3 solar vision glass comes in single, double, or triple glazing options, and can also integrate with Chinese company LandGlass’s vacuum-insulation technology.

It is available in a range of size and glass thicknesses, and offers reflective and spectrally-selective coating options to meet the thermal performance and aesthetic standards modern architectural and façade design applications require.

Mr Hunt said the product had many distinct competitive advantages that could materially accelerate ClearVue’s path to large-scale commercialisation.

“The full line of integrated solar façade solutions seamlessly integrates clean energy generation with world-class architectural design—we continue our mission to remove the barriers to deployment and enhance the value proposition for our products,” he added.
