ClearVue Wins Global Safety Certification to Unlock BIPV Commercial Rollout
ClearVue’s thermal management junction box earns TÜV SÜD certification
ClearVue Technologies (ASX: CPV) has achieved TÜV SÜD certification for its CPV Thermal Management Junction Box (model CV-JB-SGT-001) against international standard IEC 62790, the governing standard for junction boxes used in photovoltaic modules. The ClearVue Junction Box Certification, awarded by one of the world’s most recognised independent testing and certification bodies, covers a product rated at 1000V and 30A. The milestone clears a significant path toward global commercialisation of ClearVue’s building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solutions across commercial and architectural projects worldwide.

What the certification means — and why it matters for BIPV
A junction box is the critical electrical component housed within a solar panel assembly. It manages heat generated by the panel’s electronics and maintains the integrity of electrical connections, particularly within the confined cavity of a building façade. How well this component performs directly influences the lifespan and reliability of the entire solar panel system.
IEC 62790 is the international standard specifically developed to govern the safety, durability, and performance of junction boxes used in photovoltaic modules. Certification against this standard by TÜV SÜD provides independent, third-party confirmation that a product meets the requirements expected by international markets, regulators, and commercial buyers.
For ClearVue, this certification validates that the CV-JB-SGT-001 is fit for deployment in real-world building environments, where long-term performance and weather resistance are non-negotiable requirements.
Key technical features of the CV-JB-SGT-001
- Voltage and current ratings: 1000V / 30A
- IP68 waterproofing: survives immersion at 1.5 metres depth for 30 minutes
- Engineered to manage heat within building façade cavities
- Compatible with existing framing systems used in commercial construction
- Supports common cladding and curtain wall installation methods
- Designed and manufactured entirely in-house by ClearVue
- Target product lifespan: 30 years-plus
The in-house origin of this product is a meaningful competitive differentiator. It demonstrates that ClearVue can develop, manufacture, and certify bespoke components without relying on external suppliers, with direct implications for intellectual property ownership and margin protection.
| Specification | Detail | Relevance to BIPV |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage rating | 1000V | Supports high-capacity solar integration in commercial-scale façade systems |
| Current rating | 30A | Accommodates electrical loads consistent with large-format BIPV installations |
| Waterproofing | IP68 — immersion at 1.5m for 30 minutes | Ensures long-term reliability in exposed façade and cladding environments |
| Thermal management | Designed for heat dissipation in façade cavities | Directly extends panel lifespan and maintains electrical performance |
| Certification standard | IEC 62790 — certified by TÜV SÜD | Confirms compliance with international safety and performance requirements |
| Design origin | Designed and manufactured in-house | Supports IP ownership and supply chain independence |
| Target lifespan | 30 years-plus | Aligned with typical commercial building design and asset management cycles |
CEO Doug Hunt on why this certification is a competitive milestone
The CV-JB-SGT-001 was developed entirely within ClearVue’s own engineering team to address a specific and practical challenge: integrating solar technology reliably into the existing framing systems used in modern commercial building façades. Doug Hunt, CEO and Managing Director, described the achievement in the following terms:
Doug Hunt, CEO and Managing Director
“Achieving TÜV SÜD certification for our CPV Thermal Management Junction Box is a critical milestone for ClearVue. This product was designed completely inhouse and its unique features mean it is the basis of significant competitive advantage. We designed this component to make BIPV work in existing framing systems and to be able to deliver the most common installation methods for cladding and curtain wall deployments to be reliable for 30 years plus. The successful certification means that ClearVue has now proven once again that we have the ability to design, manufacture and certify bespoke components that solve the challenges of true integration into a building façade. I am very proud of the excellent work done by our team members to deliver this. It provides our clients, partners and shareholders with independent confirmation that our technology meets the highest international safety and performance standards and clears the way for our BIPV solutions to be deployed in commercial and architectural projects around the world.”
Independent third-party certification from TÜV SÜD removes a material barrier to commercial deployment by giving clients, partners, and procurement teams objective assurance of product quality. It also validates the depth of ClearVue’s internal engineering capability, demonstrating the company can bring a bespoke component from concept through to internationally certified manufacture without external dependency.

Global commercialisation pathway now supported
With IEC 62790 certification secured, ClearVue’s BIPV solutions are positioned for deployment in commercial and architectural projects across international markets. The certification provides the compliance credentials that building developers, façade contractors, and project specifiers typically require before integrating new solar technology into a building envelope.
The CV-JB-SGT-001 underpins the full breadth of ClearVue’s product suite, which spans:
- Vision glass
- Cladding
- Spandrel
- Balustrade
- Skylight solutions
This range of applications reflects the scale of the addressable market for certified BIPV components. ClearVue’s broader mission is to integrate solar technology into building façades to offset the operational carbon footprint of buildings, contributing to net zero outcomes at a building and portfolio level. The TÜV SÜD milestone brings that commercial objective meaningfully closer.
