"Perth-headquartered manufacturer ClearVue this week landed a deal to supply
its clear solar glass for a high-rise building currently undergoing a $A308
million facelift in the centre of Sydney.
The purchase order was issued by construction firm SRG Global, which is
completing redevelopment of the City Tattersalls Club, where ClearVue’s
building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) technology will form part of the
building’s new $S600,000 rooftop.
ClearVue says the milestone deal with SRG Global marks the first time its solar
window technology will be deployed on a high-rise structure, and also the first
demonstration in Sydney’s CBD.
The installation will cover the roof terrace area between the 44th and 50th
floors with ClearVue’s pure black feature glass that delivers solar energy
while maintaining the “aesthetic required” for the project.
Unlike a traditional photovoltaic solar panel, ClearVue’s BIPV technology uses
patented proprietary glass that allows for both the transmission of light and
also the generation of electricity. ClearVue says the use of inorganic
materials in its technology allows for the transmission of up to 70% of visible
natural light.
“In the City Tattersalls Club redevelopment, the integration of ClearVue’s
advanced BIPV technology will enhance the building’s sustainability and energy
performance targets,” said Sayeed Ansari, project manager at SRG Global, in a
statement last week.
“The SRG team along with the project’s architects were particularly impressed
by the visual appeal of ClearVue’s products, which seamlessly matched the
non-photovoltaic materials used on the building – providing the … creative
freedom essential for a sophisticated design execution.”"
