Greenhouse Company Buys ClearVue Solar Glazing System
ClearVue Technologies will deliver solar glazing to Greenhouse System USA of Watsonville, California for a greenhouse project expected to provide approximately 82kW of solar power and producing an estimated 107,000kWh annually.
Operating for over 42 years, System USA is a leader in green housing solutions in the US and Canada. This clean, renewable power project will be eligible for incentives created by the US Inflation Reduction Act lowering annual operating costs and reducing the facility’s carbon footprint. This project will utilize ClearVue’s innovative single pane glazing laminate developed by ClearVue in conjunction with research partner D2Solar.
“Greenhouses have been an integral part of our strategy from day one as we understood the growing global need for renewable energy solutions for sustainable agriculture. We are thrilled to work in partnership with System USA, a company setting the modern global standard for excellence in efficient greenhouse facilities, and are looking forward to an ongoing relationship with System USA as we progress discussions for them to become a US-based distributor for ClearVue,” says Martin Deil, Global CEO, ClearVue Technologies.
The California project builds on the considerable success ClearVue has had with previous solar greenhouse projects, including the Murdoch University R&D Greenhouse in Perth, operational since 2021, as well as the greenhouse constructed at Sendai Ignis resort in Japan by ClearVue licensee Tomita Technologies.
“We are very excited to work on our first ClearVuePV greenhouse project. Having closely evaluated this technology, we’re particularly pleased with the recent advancements that have made it exceptionally appealing. We have full confidence we will achieve robust energy generation and efficiency with ClearVue’s greenhouse glass solutions,” says Peter Fryn, President, System USA.
