ClearVue Technologies has secured international certification for its thermal management junction box, a critical electrical component in the company’s building-integrated PV products, marking a key step in the commercial deployment of its solar facade products.

Perth-based smart building materials company ClearVue Technologies has achieved a certification milestone with global testing and certification group TÜV SÜD signing off on its CPV thermal management junction box for solar panels under international standard IEC 62790.
ClearVue said the certified product, model CV-JB-SGT-001, is a critical component in its building-integrated PV (BIPV) product assemblies and was designed in-house to prevent hotspot formation in facade cavities, helping to extend product life and reliability.
The CPV thermal management junction box is rated at 1,000 V and 30 A and carries an IP68 waterproof rating, meaning it can survive immersion to a depth of 1.5 metres for 30 minutes.
ClearVue Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Doug Hunt said the certification confirms the junction box meets global safety, durability and performance standards and is an important step in supporting the global deployment of the company’s solar technology.
“Achieving TÜV SÜD certification for our CPV Thermal Management Junction Box is a critical milestone for ClearVue,” he said.
“We designed this component to make BIPV work in existing framing systems and to be able to deliver the most common installation methods for cladding and curtain wall deployments to be reliable for 30 years plus.”
“It provides our clients, partners and shareholders with independent confirmation that our technology meets the highest international safety and performance standards and clears the way for our BIPV solutions to be deployed in commercial and architectural projects around the world.”
The certification milestone is part of a productive period for ClearVue with the West Australian company also locking in a $305,000 (USD 218,600) contract to supply BIPV glazing for a commercial building retrofit in Cyprus.
ClearVue will provide its solar glass, framing system and electrical design as an integrated package as part of the redevelopment of the Rio Business Centre in the southern city of Paphos. The installed system will encompass more than 800 square metres of the building envelope and will an estimated capacity of about 169 kW and is forecast to generate approximately 139 MWh of electricity per annum.
ClearVue says its products were selected because project-specific sizing enables seamless integration with existing facade and roofing systems without structural compromise, while also satisfying important durability and safety criteria required for a long-term reliability.
“BIPV is no longer a future-looking concept. It is here, it is commercial and developers across Europe and the world will increasingly choose it as the smarter way to build,” Hunt said.
In another boost for the company, ClearVue has secured a $280,000 (USD 200,000) Australian Research Council Linkage Grant, alongside The University of Melbourne, for designing, modelling and testing new techniques aimed at improving solar electricity generation within transparent glass.
ClearVue said the project will focus on designing, modelling, constructing and testing new techniques to improve solar efficiency, which, if successful, could lead to the incorporation of these technologies into future versions of its solar windows.
