Sunny update on solar greenhouses in Perth and Japan

ClearVue Technologies Ltd (ASX:CPV, OTCQB:CVUEF) continues to make strides in its solar greenhouse program across Murdoch University in Perth and Sendai City in Japan.

So far, a stage one plant science trial has taken place at the Murdoch greenhouse, providing the ASX-lister with power generation, thermal efficiency and plant science data and insights.

This means that ClearVue could make some upgrades to the greenhouse system ahead of a stage two trial, which is out to confirm ClearVue's PV glazing solution for commercial applications.

The stage two trial is already underway, aiming to find that perfect balance between power generation, thermal efficiency, water savings and maximising plant growth across a wide range of species, particularly as they adjust to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) light.

In the meantime, ClearVue is working to install its PV glazing on the commercial greenhouse at the Aqua Ignis resort in Japan.

Financial and environmental perks

Speaking to the update, ClearVue chair Victor Rosenberg said: "The results from the ClearVue Greenhouse at Murdoch have demonstrated the power performance of ClearVue's PV glazing, both as a power source for the project, but also as a significant contributor to energy reduction within the operation of commercial greenhousing.

"[This is especially true] where growers are willing to invest into a long-term capital asset that can pay itself back, both financially and from a carbon perspective; something no other greenhouse covering product on the market can offer today.

"The recent upgrades made to the greenhouse will offer an even greater insight into the role the ClearVue glazing can play in commercial greenhousing."

The results are in

A greenhouse using ClearVue PV glazing officially opened at Murdoch University in April 2021.
