Technology Overview

==> picture [159 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

  • ❑ ClearVue’s patented technology sits within an activated interlayer between two panes of glass.

  • ❑ Visible light (VIS) passes through the glass

  • Micro & nano particles interact with Ultraviolet (UV) radiation which is down-converted to longer wavelengths and scattered along with Infrared (IR) light to the edges of the glass

  • ❑ IR is collected by Photovoltaic (PV) cells and produces electricity

==> picture [292 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

  • ❑ Reduces heat and blocks damaging UV and IR radiation

  • ❑ Insulation properties reduce heating and cooling costs

  • ❑ Innovation pipeline of new technologies to improve power performance including R&D into inorganic quantum dots

==> picture [960 x 130] intentionally omitted <==

Products/Services Overview

  • Solar PV Glass (Finished IGUs and Framed Windows)

==> picture [159 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

  • ❑ fabricated and supplied by OEM suppliers and sold by ClearVue

  • ❑ Sizes: 3+m high x 1.6m wide (up to approx. 4.8 sqm)

    • Smart Façade Panels (finished and framed)

    • Smart Façade Components

      • ❑ Hardware microcontroller incl MPPT/battery controller/WiFi and other comms/IO platform for IOT sensors and devices
  • Solar PV Components for use by ClearVue licensees

  • ❑ PVB interlayer

  • ❑ Solar PV strips

  • ❑ Gen 2- glass panes with laminated PV

  • ❑ Gen 3 – PVB strips with integrated PV for lamination

  • Royalty on licensee manufactured CPV products

  • Licensee Support Services

==> picture [243 x 154] intentionally omitted <==

IP & Competitive Advantage Overview

==> picture [159 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

  • ❑ 85 granted patents and 40 patent applications throughout the World across 7 patent families covering CPV system and elements of system

  • ❑ Design protection undertaken for latest versions of Gen 2 and Gen 3 shingled PV products (know-how and trade secret protection on method of manufacture to be used for these developments as well)

  • ❑ Trade Mark protection undertaken in most key markets (SA and NZ proving to be only countries where main ClearVue PV branding may not be registrable – alternatives filed)

  • ❑ Domain names (for key trade marks, as well as various generic descriptive type domains)

  • ❑ Copyright protection on circuit layouts for hardware controller, software/config files for smart façade controller

  • ❑ Market lead in clear solar glass (currently) - (market leader for tinted solar glass is Onyx)

Business and Revenue Model

==> picture [159 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

ClearVue will derive revenues from:

  • Direct sales: The Company will initially sell and supply fully assembled IGU/window products direct to distributors and licensed channel partners in Australia and worldwide. Then, as manufacturing licensees are appointed in different territories the revenue streams that follow will apply.

  • Component sales (US$245 m2): The company will sell technology/product components to its manufacturing licensees including its proprietary nano and micro particle doped activated interlayer and its proprietary mini solar photovoltaic strips for use inside of each PV integrated glazing unit*

  • Additional revenue streams: The company will sell its smart façade controller hardware and license associated software (and data) for additional revenue opportunities.

  • ❑ Typical minimum sales requirements of a distribution only licensee or a manufacturing/distribution licensee is: 5,000 sqm for year 1, 10,000sqm for year 2, 20,000 sqm for year 3, 30,000 sqm for year 4 & 40,000 sqm for year 5.

  • ❑ One licensee (only) achieving their performance criteria equates to over USD $25m in revenue over 5 years.

Notes:

  • *Complete ClearVue IGU’s initially to be sold in Australia by ClearVue to gain market acceptance. Approx. per sqm rate may change based on order quantities and scaling, country and project specific requirements.
