ClearVue Partners with Viridian Glass to Bring Power-Generating Solar Glass to New Zealand

May 13, 2025 --

• ClearVue signs exclusive Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with Viridian Glass, New Zealand’s largest and most established glass fabricator.
• 
  
• Viridian Glass to locally produce ClearVue’s solar IGUs, which generate clean electricity from transparent windows, and distribute the full range of ClearVue’s building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) products — including solar spandrels and cladding.
• Partnership paves the way for net-zero energy buildings in New Zealand, offering architects and developers innovative tools for sustainable construction and carbon reduction.
• ClearVue continues its global expansion, with this latest agreement adding New Zealand to a growing list of licensed markets, including the USA, Australia, Singapore, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and South Africa.

Imagine buildings where the windows don’t just let in light — they also generate clean electricity. That vision is one step closer to reality in New Zealand, thanks to a major new partnership between smart building materials company ClearVue Technologies Limited (ASX:CPV) and Viridian Glass, New Zealand’s largest and most trusted glass processor.

ClearVue has officially entered the New Zealand market through a landmark Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with Viridian Glass Limited Partnership. Under this agreement, Viridian will manufacture and distribute ClearVue’s innovative solar-integrated glazing solutions, bringing cutting-edge technology to the region’s booming sustainable building sector.

Power from the Façade: The Future of Sustainable Buildings

ClearVue’s advanced solar glazing technology transforms traditional glass surfaces — such as façades and windows — into power-generating assets. Instead of being passive features prone to energy loss, ClearVue glass products generate renewable energy while reducing solar heat gain, making buildings more energy-efficient and environmentally responsible.

This is a game-changer for architects, developers, and property owners looking to meet net-zero goals. With ClearVue, even a building’s windows contribute to sustainability — generating electricity during daylight hours while reducing the need for air conditioning and artificial lighting.

“We are excited to partner with Viridian Glass, the market leader in glass processing in New Zealand. This agreement represents a significant step in expanding ClearVue’s presence in the region and making our innovative solar glazing solutions more accessible to the New Zealand market,” said Martin Deil, Global CEO of ClearVue. “This expansion supports the country’s strong commitment to sustainability and will give local builders and developers direct access to our innovative solutions.”

A Perfect Match: ClearVue and Viridian Glass

Viridian Glass has been a household name in glass across New Zealand and Australia for decades. With over 130 years of history, and a network of offices and processing facilities across both countries, Viridian employs hundreds of glass specialists and supplies both residential and commercial projects nationwide.

Viridian glass, operating in both Australia and New Zealand, is uniquely positioned to bring ClearVue’s energy-generating glass to a wide range of construction projects — from high-performance homes to commercial towers and government buildings.

“ClearVue’s technology aligns perfectly with what our customers are asking for: smart, sustainable, and future-ready building materials,” said Nigel Rigby, CEO of Viridian Glass New Zealand. “Together, we’re not just supplying glass — we’re helping to power the buildings of tomorrow.”

Creating a Greener Urban Landscape

This agreement not only gives ClearVue exclusive access to a forward-thinking partner in New Zealand, but it also supports the country’s broader push for renewable energy adoption and energy-efficient building codes. As cities grow and the pressure to decarbonize increases, solutions like ClearVue’s BIPV glass provide a seamless and aesthetically pleasing way to generate on-site energy — without compromising design.

It’s also part of ClearVue’s global expansion strategy, which includes partnerships with leading international manufacturers, as the company builds a robust, planet-spanning network of licensed partners to deliver their technology to customers.
