ClearVue Technologies has taken a step toward expanding its global footprint by partnering with My Glass Projects Ltd (MGP), a specialist glass fabrication company based in London. 

The collaboration, formalised through a new Manufacturing and Distribution Licence Agreement, enables My Glass Projects to integrate ClearVue’s photovoltaic glazing technology into UK markets. 

The agreement also grants My Glass Projects exclusive rights to combine its heated glass technology with ClearVue’s advanced solar glass, creating self-powered heated glass for cold and tropical climates.

“This partnership represents a significant opportunity for ClearVue to expand into new markets and introduce our innovative technology to a wider audience,” said Martin Deil, Global CEO of ClearVue. 

“We are excited our first partnership in the UK is with leading glazing specialist, My Glass Projects, who we have worked with for the past two years on trial projects.”

With this agreement, MGP will manufacture and distribute ClearVue’s solar-integrated glass products, which will allow for energy-efficient, self-heating applications in both new builds and retrofits.

Sunil Sharda, Founder and Managing Director of My Glass Projects, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “This partnership is an important milestone for us, allowing us to leverage our expertise in heated glazing technology with ClearVue’s cutting-edge solar photovoltaic solutions.” 

“The fact that ClearVue’s Solar Façade is designed to integrate with standard building systems means we can employ the Solar Vision Glass, Solar Cladding, and Solar Spandrel solutions in diverse projects.”

ClearVue and My Glass Projects began collaborating in August 2022 under a Collaboration Agreement, which allowed for initial testing and development of the integrated solar-heated glass technology. 

Following successful testing, both companies saw the commercial potential of the combined solutions, setting the stage for this formalized partnership.

My Glass Projects, in coordination with ClearVue, has also partnered with eLstar Dynamics to produce a demonstrator prototype, showcasing ClearVue’s Solar Vision Glass alongside eLstar’s dynamic glazing technology, further expanding the possibilities of smart façade solutions for commercial buildings.
