ASX-listed solar glass and window specialist ClearVue Technologies has had its first integrated solar panel approved for installation on Australian rooftops, just in time to coincide with the expansion of the federal subsidy scheme to commercial and industrial-scale projects.

ClearVue said on Friday that its ClearVue-Helios range has been added to the Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved products list for solar panels, having also passed testing against international design and safety standards, alongside the CEC’s own consumer protection requirements.

ClearVue-Helios integrated, metal-backed modules are designed to suit existing steel rooftops, with a fully sealed mounting system that “acts as a second roof” for buildings,” the company says.

The range delivers up to 220 watts (W) per square metre and up to 600 W per panel, and each panel has a Class A fire rating, a 30-year performance warranty and a 15-year product warranty.

ClearVue says the CEC listing “matters,” as it is the benchmark that the Australian solar market trusts.
