How big can you make windows using CPV?
Sizes of Windows – combinations?
Theoretically, there is no limitation on the size of ClearVue solar windows. It can be fabricated to any desired size and shape by adding or reducing the number or length of interior certified CPV solar PV strips.
However, due to the restriction of the existing testing apparatus in most certification authorities, currently the maximum size which can be tested and certified is 1.5m x 2.5m, like other BIPV products.
ClearVue is currently working with UL and TUV to find out how to certify the giant IGUs up to 1.5m x 3.2m because of our product’s uniqueness. It is anticipated that these world-leading testing bodies can provide an outcome in early 2021.
