Building-integrated PV specialist ClearVue Technologies has achieved Clean Energy Council (CEC) approval for its ClearVue-Helios rooftop solar panels, ensuring the product can connect to the grid and is eligible for all government grant and subsidy programs.
In a statement, the Perth-based company said its ClearVue-Helios rooftop solar panel has been added to the CEC’s approved products list, a key regulatory milestone that confirms the product has passed testing against international design and safety standards.
The ClearVue-Helios is a metal-backed tempered-glass rooftop solar panel delivering up to 600 W per panel and 220 per square metre. The company said the panels feature a fully-sealed mounting system that effectively acts as a second roof for buildings and come with a Class A fire rating, a 30-year performance warranty and a 15-year product warranty.
ClearVue said the CEC accreditation provides independent verification that the product, developed in partnership with manufacturing partner Helios Power Solutions, meets the quality and safety standards expected by the Australian market.
“In a market with thousands of products, that independent stamp is one of the clearest signals of quality a panel can carry,” the company said. “More importantly no panel can be connected to the grid in Australia without this certification and all government renewable energy subsidies are contingent on CEC listing.”
ClearVue Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Doug Hunt said the ClearVue-Helios is now well positioned for Australian rooftop and commercial solar markets.
“We believe this strengthens the commercial opportunity for ClearVue-Helios and gives customers greater confidence when specifying our products,” he said, adding that the timing is significant following the federal government’s recent expansion of its rooftop solar rebate scheme.
The Australian government announced last week that the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) will be expanded to 1 MW, reducing upfront installation costs for larger commercial projects by about 20%.
“The changes mean that upfront incentives can now be applied to commercial installations of up to 1 MW instead of the prior 100 kW maximum,” Hunt said.
“This will reduce the acquisition cost of commercial solar significantly, so the achievement of this certification is timely. Crucially, these incentives will lower the acquisition cost of the whole range of ClearVue products for our customers, further improving payback periods.”
