ASX-listed ClearVue Technologies has kicked off the new financial year with a pilot that will trial the use of its advanced solar glazing and integrated solar cladding in a prototype of a prefabricated net zero home.
The Perth-based ClearVue published its quarterly activities report for the first quarter of financial year 2025 (Q1 FY25) this week, detailing three months which saw the company demonstrate the versatility of its building integrated PV at home, while expanding into important markets across the globe.
As reported earlier in the month, ClearVue landed its first order for its solar building envelope solution which will be used for the construction of an equipment screen on the Enex100 building in Perth.
In an update this week, ClearVue says it has now also gained a foothold in the local net-zero modular housing market – valued at $15.4 billion in 2024 – through a trial of its solar glass and cladding with Australian modular housing manufacturer, Prefabulous.
If successful, the collaboration on the Prefabulous “FabZero” prototype will see ClearVue’s solar building envelope products become a key optional feature in the company’s portfolio of modular homes.
The other big news of the quarter is the five-year manufacturing and distribution deal signed with Qatar’s largest facade engineering company, Aluminium Technology Auxiliary Industries WLL (Alutec), that will extend ClearVue’s reach into the Middle East, North African and Indian markets.
At the same time, ClearVue says it has also strengthened its position in North America, Europe, and South Africa.

“We’ve had success with new projects in Australia that demonstrate the versatility of ClearVue products,” said Deil.
“Our collaboration with Prefabulous opens a new market in sustainable modular construction, a sector that could well be the answer to the country’s housing crisis as well as helping Australia move closer to net zero.
“We also secured our first contract for cladding on an iconic building in Perth,” Deil continued, adding, “We also completed our first commercial sale in Australia with the installation of ClearVue windows on the CFMEU building in Melbourne.”
Deil also highlighted the success of the company’s approach to signing local licensed manufacturers and distributors around the globe, such as was “demonstrated in South Africa where our distributor has sourced a number of potential customers and high-quality manufacturers, and we anticipate first sales by mid-2025.”
