ClearVue’s transparent energy-generating glazing technology is undergoing independent assessment with Qatar University that could open a major market opportunity. The company’s products will be installed in a greenhouse and assessed for renewable energy generation, thermal performance, light transmission, cooling efficiency and overall crop productivity.
This will determine the suitability of ClearVue Technologies’ transparent photovoltaic glazing technology for controlled-environment agriculture in one of the world’s most demanding climates. While the initial order is worth about $15,000, successful measurement and verification testing could support participation in the Qatar government’s food security program and future developments.
Qatar has set a target for 55% of vegetables consumed to be locally grown by 2030. The protected cropping market in Qatar is expected to exceed US$100m ($144.1m) per annum in 2026. Controlled environment agriculture has been identified as a national priority to strengthen domestic food security and reduce reliance on imported produce.
“Qatar’s climate is one of the toughest testing grounds in the world for controlled-environment agriculture. That makes it the ideal place to test ClearVue’s greenhouse glass,” Professor S.M. Muyeen, Qatar University, said. “Our role is to measure and verify how ClearVue’s glazing performs across the metrics that matter most: energy generated, temperature reduction, light quality for plant growth, and the effect on cooling demand.
