Under the Australian government research and development (R&D) tax incentive, Perth-headquartered building integrated photovoltaics manufacturer ClearVue Technologies has received a $1,093,692 tax credit.

The credit relates to R&D activities undertaken in the past 12 months, including the development and production of ClearVue’s Generation 2 ClearVuePV pilot insulated glass units (IGUs).

Also included is futher engineering of solar strips and connector blocks, advancement of proprietary polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer materials and ongoing collaborative research with United States-based solar design and manufacturing solutions company D2 Solar.

ClearVuePV uses nano and micro particle technology to internally diffuse, redistribute, and reflect elements of the incoming light towards the edges of the glass panel, where it is collected by monocrystalline silicon-based PV modules.

ClearVue Technologies Global Chief Executive Officer Martin Deil said the tax rebate validates the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in solar-integrated building envelope solutions.

“We continue to invest strategically in product development and scientific
research to support the commercialisation of our Generation 2 products and to maintain our position at the forefront of smart building design,” Deil said.

“The Australian Government’s R&D tax incentive program provides valuable support for companies like ours that are building sustainable technologies of the future.”
