The enhancements place ClearVue as a leader in solar-integrated building materials and align the company with a global push towards decarbonisation and greener building standards.
The Gen3 glass is now ready for commercial quotes with full certification expected by mid-2026. All the core technologies were certified in prior generations.
ClearVue’s extensive development track record includes trial results released last month by Hong Kong’s Electrical and Mechanical Services Department for its integrated solar façade.
The trial tested ClearVue’s innovative vacuum-insulated solar glazing unit developed in a strategic partnership with a subsidiary of its joint venture partner, advanced glass company LandGlass Technology.
ClearVue then applied the Hong Kong results to a hypothetical 40-storey building with a 50 per cent window-to-wall ratio in 15 cities, which showed the product could offset 74 per cent to 125 per cent of a building’s annual energy needs, further advancing the path to net-zero buildings.
The trial, which began in July 2024, points to a 4.6-year payback period before subsidies for ClearVue’s solar vacuum-insulated façade. When Hong Kong’s feed-in tariff is included, the panels pay for themselves in 2.6 years.
ClearVue has been working since 1995 to integrate solar technology into building surfaces such as windows, skylights and cladding to generate clean energy while preserving aesthetics. The company also envisages transforming buildings into power-generating assets.
With a scalable licensing model and partnerships, including LandGlass’s vacuum-insulated glazing, ClearVue is poised for global expansion, particularly in key markets such as the United States and South East Asia. It recently raised $7.5 million in Hong Kong to boost its operations.
