Solar building envelope

Net zero energy buildings are within reach with ClearVue BIPV products

Meet the integrated active facade solution which can reduce operational carbon and create clean energy on site while achieving financial payback.

With an active building envelope by ClearVue, you can use the whole facade surface for energy generation, including vision and non-vision areas.
With large scale solar glazing units and a broad range of textures and finishings for solar cladding you have full creative flexibility and won’t have to compromise on style.

The path to net zero energy buildings starts here.

ClearVue Vision Glass allows visible light to pass through the glass at up to 70% visible light transmission (VLT) for maximum daylight. ClearVue prevents unwanted solar radiation from penetrating the building envelope while generating energy utilizing solar cells along the perimeter.

ClearVue Power Façade provides power for virtually all façades and surfaces. By combining our unique clear solar glass with our other BIPV products, buildings can achieve high power output and significantly offset their energy consumption – up to 100% or more. With a range of complementary solar solutions for non-vision areas, ClearVue optimizes onsite energy generation by making large expanses of building façade into renewable energy powerhouses.

Power Facade features

Sustainable energy output

With the range of ClearVue BIPV solutions, it is possible to generate electricity from nearly all facade surfaces.

Transform your building into a renewable energy powerhouse.

A leap toward NetZero

Depending on the project configuration and the building location, ClearVue Power Facade can cover from 50 to over 100% of the building's energy requirements.

Flexibile and creative

With a range of multiple products to suit different functions in the building, we have products to suit the most daring architectural designs.

Smooth integration

All elements of the ClearVue Power Facade are seamlessly connected together, creating a uniform look and feel while keeping the additional engineering to a minimum.

Our products are compatible with commonly used framing systems, and we also offer a proprietary framing system specifically designed to assist with the implementation of our BIPV solutions.

Fast financial payback

Without including government subsidies and incentives, the payback period for a ClearVue power facade is usually between 5 and 10 years.

Additional benefits provided by government incentives may shorten this period further.

The BIPV facade allows clients to lower their carbon footprint and reduce or avoid carbon tax in the jurisdictions where it's been introduced.

Improved ESG & ROI

Solar facade supports corporate sustainability programs and ESG goals and assists in keeping pace with regulatory changes.

Properties implementing BIPV solutions are likely to enjoy an increased yield rate of return and higher resale values.

Turnkey solution

As a turnkey solution, Power Facade is an attractive option for architects and developers who prefer a one-stop solution for their solar building envelope.

Independent case studies

We have developed a range of case studies to show the impact that a ClearVue Power Facade will have on the building's energy consumption and energy generation around the world depending on the location and solar irradiation.
