"Perth based solar glass innovator ClearVue Technologies has launched a
“lightweight and low maintenance” integrated solar power solution engineered
specifically for installation on metal rooftops.
Unveiled during an investor update on Wednesday evening, the new
ClearVue-Helios is billed as a “cutting-edge” solar option for metal roofed
buildings that can deliver 200 watts (W) per square metre.
As an added bonus, the proprietary mounting system helps to create a sealed
secondary roof surface and an air gap that can keep buildings up to 30 per cent
cooler, while also serving as a protective layer, extending the lifespan of the
roof itself.
The new solar solution will be available in both a lightweight aluminium or
heavier steel-backed to meet a range of construction needs, the company says.
The aluminium-backed option weighs only five kilograms per square metre, making
it ideal for industrial rooftops unsuited to traditional solar panels. A
heavier and more robust steel-backed option can also be used, which can be
walked on for easy maintenance and continued access to the roof.
On the low maintenance side, the ClearVue-Helios requires only a rinse with
water or a rooftop sprinkler system, making it ideal for high dust or high salt
environments. It can also be integrated with ClearVue’s line of solar facades."
