“The increasing demand for renewable energy in agriculture is bolstered by government incentives including the US Inflation Reduction Act as well as a consumer push for sustainability, and ClearVue and System USA are excited to deliver our solutions to the agricultural sector.”

“This project builds on the considerable success we’ve had with previous solar greenhouse projects, including the Murdoch University R&D Greenhouse in Perth, operational since 2021[3] , as well as the greenhouse constructed at Sendai Ignis resort in Japan by ClearVue licensee Tomita Technologies[4] .

Peter Fryn, the President of System USA, said:

“We are very excited to work on our first ClearVue[PV] greenhouse project. Having closely evaluated this technology, we're particularly pleased with the recent advancements that have made it exceptionally appealing. We have full confidence we will achieve robust energy generation and efficiency with ClearVue’s greenhouse glass solutions.

“System USA is committed to a partnership with ClearVue and to that end, the parties are in the process of finalising negotiations for a distribution agreement to give System USA the rights to distribute the ClearVue product for greenhouse applications in California and other US states.

“We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship together with this first sale representing our first steps in our journey.”

ClearVue’s electricity-generating glazing technology is strategically positioned to complement and make more compelling, the increased use of energy-efficient windows now being regulated in response to global climate change and energy efficiency goals.

Solar PV cells are incorporated around the edges of an Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) used in windows and the lamination interlayer between the glass in the IGU incorporates ClearVue’s patented proprietary nano and micro particles, as well as its spectrally selective coating on the rear external surface of the IGU.

ClearVue’s window technology has application for use in the building and construction and agricultural industries (among others). ClearVue has worked closely with leading experts from the Electron Science Research Institute, Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia to develop the technology.
