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 <==

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.
