Beyond the Rooftop: How ClearVue’s Solar Technology is Turning Skyscrapers into Power Plants

In 2026, the global energy system is entering a structurally different phase, characterised by sustained growth in electricity demand, rather than cyclical variation. Three forces are driving this shift:

• the rapid expansion of energy-intensive artificial intelligence infrastructure

• the electrification of transport at scale

• a global cooling demand that has approximately doubled over the past twenty years.

Together, these trends are placing increasing pressure on urban energy systems both in developed and emerging markets.

The built environment has emerged as a central lever for decarbonisation and energy security. Buildings account for roughly 40% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions, making them one of the most regulated and capital-intensive frontiers of the energy transition. Policymakers are responding accordingly. Europe’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is shifting requirements for commercial real estate from incremental efficiency improvements toward active, on-site energy generation. For asset owners, compliance is rapidly becoming a value-preservation issue rather than a discretionary sustainability upgrade.

However, traditional renewable solutions face structural limitations in dense urban environments. Rooftop solar alone is often insufficient to materially offset the electricity demand of modern commercial buildings, particularly high-rise assets with large cooling and data loads. This constraint has created a widening gap between regulatory ambition and technical feasibility, exposing both a risk and an opportunity for capital.

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) addresses this gap by transforming the vertical surfaces of buildings into energy-producing assets. By embedding photovoltaic functionality directly into façades, windows, and architectural elements, BIPV expands the usable generation area far beyond the roofline. For developers, institutional owners, and long-duration capital providers, this approach reframes the building envelope from a passive cost centre into an active infrastructure asset with predictable, long-term energy output.

Historically, adoption has been limited by a trade-off between power generation and architectural requirements such as transparency, daylighting, and design flexibility. Recent advances in materials science and photovoltaic engineering are now reducing this constraint, enabling solutions that preserve natural light while delivering meaningful energy yield. As regulation tightens and urban electricity demand continues to rise, technologies that resolve this balance are positioned to benefit from both policy support and structural demand growth.

From an investment perspective, BIPV sits at the intersection of energy infrastructure, real assets, and climate regulation. It is increasingly aligned with the priorities of institutional capital: long asset lives, embedded demand, regulatory tailwinds, and integration into essential urban infrastructure. As cities seek to decarbonise without sacrificing density or functionality, the verticalisation of solar generation is moving from a niche concept toward a scalable component of the global energy transition.

ClearVue Technologies Limited (ASX: CPV | OTCQX: CVUEF | Frankfurt: A2PDU9) is rapidly emerging as a primary architect of the global transition to net-zero buildings, offering a visionary solution to one of the most pressing decarbonisation challenges in the built environment. The company has developed a patented solar technology that transform nearly every external surface of a building into an energy-generating asset.

As of early 2026, the company has successfully transitioned from an innovative disruptor to a commercial platform, driven by the breakthrough launch of its Gen3 Solar Vision Glass. This next-generation technology has set a new industry benchmark, delivering a staggering 66% increase in energy output - now exceeding 50W / m² for optimal sizes - while simultaneously slashing manufacturing complexity and production times by half. By converting every external surface of a building into an active energy-generating asset without sacrificing transparency or aesthetic appeal, ClearVue has turned sustainable architecture into a compelling economic reality with payback periods now falling to less than five years.

The company’s growth is fueled by a highly scalable, capital-light licensing model that leverages global manufacturing partnerships rather than heavy internal infrastructure. The commercial pipeline exceeds $60 million in submitted proposals across Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Major current milestones, such as the landmark agreement to reclad dual ten-story towers in South Africa and the completion of high-profile installations for the World Bank, serve as powerful proof-of-concept for ClearVue’s international scalability. With a refreshed leadership team, a reinforced capital position from recent oversubscribed raises, ClearVue is positioned as a key technology provider in the fragmented BIPV landscape throughout 2026 and beyond.

ClearVue Technologies offers investors the opportunity to participate in the structural transformation of the global building and energy markets. DGWA is supporting the company’s European investor outreach and will provide opportunities to engage with management through both virtual meetings and in-person events. Interested investors are invited to contact info@dgwa.org for further information.

The stock is traded in Australia, on the Frankfurt, Trade Gate and Stuttgart Stock Exchange (WKN: A2PDU9.

The subject of published financial analyses may be shares of companies with a low market capitalisation. Especially for companies with a low market capitalization, investors often have to reckon with high volatility or low market liquidity.

Published financial analyses focus on equities that are associated with high price risks and are therefore not suitable for inexperienced or risk-averse investors. This applies in particular to all over-the-counter (OTC) equities, i.e. equities traded outside a supervised stock exchange or regulated market or on the over-the-counter market. The same applies to shares traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), on Canadian stock exchanges (e.g. in Toronto or Vancouver) or on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), a segment of the London Stock Exchange. The equities we analyse are often traded on one of these markets, which are segments of the highest risk class. Stocks traded on these markets are threatened at all times by the possibility of a total loss, high volatility and the possibility of limited tradability and, in particular, saleability due to low trading volumes. High price opportunities are offset by enormous risks.
