ASX Announcement | 31 July 2023

CPV launched improved IGU and new solar façade solutions

On 18 May 2023, in what was a major milestone for the Company, ClearVue confirmed the official release of its improved Generation 2 product design for its ClearVue PV® solar vision glass integrated glazing unit or IGU. At the same time, the Company officially released new integrated Solar Façade Solutions at a private event at the Building Centre in London (https://www.buildingcentre.co.uk/).

The new IGU design is a step-change for how ClearVue’s core product is manufactured - substantially simplifying the assembly and fabrication of ClearVue’s world leading triple and newly engineered double glazed IGU with such design improvements reducing the fabrication time for our licensed manufacturers of a finished IGU by over 90% (compared against the earlier design) - with consequent cost savings and the benefits of being able to scale production faster and increase manufacturing throughput.

ClearVue’s new Solar Façade Solutions extend energy generation across building façades by combining ClearVue’s patented transparent solar glazing with ClearVue solar spandrel panels and solar wall cladding panels for enhanced efficiency and a lower average cost per watt. The expected payback period, depending on territory, for a full Solar Façade Solution is less than 8 years versus an expected product life of over 30 years.

By integrating ClearVue’s patented transparent solar glazing IGUs with other solar energy generating façade solutions including spandrel panels and cladding, ClearVue can optimize efficiency, lower the overall cost of manufacturing and installation while maximizing energy production from a façade providing a faster payback period on new curtain wall and façade projects resulting in improved return on investment.

ClearVue’s latest improvements to its solar clear vision glass IGU design are expected to:

  • Reduce embedded carbon by approximately 30% by incorporating advanced thermoplastics

  • Offer a double glazed IGU design which reduces thickness by up to 48.5% when compared to ClearVue’s current triple glazed IGU design and deliver a consequent weight reduction of up to 20kg per square meter (40% weight reduction)

  • Reduce thickness of the previous triple glazed IGU by 15.4%

  • Provide an IGU assembly process that allows seamless integration with standard IGU assembly production lines

  • Decrease IGU assembly labor time by 90% with consequent cost savings and increased production outputs

  • Work with advanced thermal glass coatings that materially reduce building energy use

  • Eliminate the risk of moisture condensation in a façade through the wire entry and exit points through the IGU

ClearVue’s new Solar Façade Solutions are expected to deliver:

  • Reduced overall cost per watt by over 70% when compared to previous generation vision glass by itself

  • Increased output averaging 100 watts peak per square meter over an entire façade

ClearVue boosts offering following acquisition of Lusoco Intellectual Property

On 17 May the Company announced that it had signed an asset Purchase Agreement with Netherlandsbased Lusoco B.V. ( Lusoco ) to acquire its intellectual property and associated assets.

Like ClearVue, Lusoco is a deep tech company, which was established as a spin out from the Eindhoven University of Technology (Technische Universiteit Eindhoven) ( TU/e ) by co-founders Teun Wagenaar and Dr Jeroen ter Schiphorst who as part of the arrangement have since joined the ClearVue team.

The Lusoco technology has multiple applications including: building and glazing façades (for advertising, artwork and directional messaging); public infrastructure (such as bus shelters, road barriers, as well as public art and advertising); automotive (glass and plastics); autonomous self-powered street signs and other directional signage; self-powered safety, security and exit signs; and a range of other signage types.

More information on the technology and the opportunity for ClearVue following this asset purchase can be found in the full announcement.

New Academic Paper

As reported in the Newsletter and after quarter end, on 12 July 2023 a new scientific paper entitled “Field Performance Monitoring of Energy-Generating High-Transparency Agrivoltaic Glass Windows”[3] highlighting the outcomes of the ClearVue Greenhouse trial at Murdoch University was published in peer-reviewed journal MDPI Technologies.

Preparation of the paper follows continuous monitoring of the Murdoch Greenhouse over the period of two years. Key findings highlighted in the paper are as follows:

  • Long-term daily energy generation data revealed relative stability of daily energy outputs throughout seasons. The season-dependent variations in the daily energy harvest were relatively small. The data confirmed that ClearVue solar windows are suitable for efficient solar energy harvesting in adverse environmental conditions (e.g. during rainy winter days), even when installed at a range of different azimuth and tilt angles, in an agricultural setting where dust contamination from nearby land areas is also a factor.

  • Murdoch University Solar Greenhouse demonstrated a relatively stable energy production output, despite having a large area of vertically oriented windows, and on some rainier days even outperformed a reference standard residential 6.6 kWp PV panel installation mounted on an optimally tilted roof area.

  • Significant energy savings were demonstrated in greenhouse grow-rooms fitted with ClearVue solar windows, which demonstrated approximately 40% of total (season-averaged) energy selfsufficiency, due to the renewable energy generated.

BCA Skylab Testing – Singapore

ClearVue has a strong commitment to having best available data on our products and solutions. To this end and as previously announced through the Company’s 22 November 2022 Update and its 31 January 2023 Quarterly Update ClearVue is once again working with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in Singapore who operate the world-leading Skylab facility to independently test energy generation and thermal performance of ClearVue’s glass units.

Phase 2 testing formally commenced on 17 July 2023 on the improved Generation 2 product design for its ClearVue PV® solar vision glass and new spandrel glass solution (referred to above) and is expected to continue for up to four weeks for data collection depending on weather variation.

Phase 3 testing with extremely low SHGC double glazing products is expected to commence in mid-August 2023 immediately after Phase 2 testing is completed.

The Company looks forward to updating the market on testing results and data in due course.
