The company says the daily averaged energy production of the installation is close to 1.6 kWh.<\/p>\n<p>This new project, which uses three different versions of ClearVue solar glass, is located at Murdoch University&#8217;s new grains research precinct.<\/p>\n<p>As well as self-generating power through harvesting solar energy, the greenhouse features sensors recording a bunch of data in real time such as temperature, humidity and the amount of light the plants are getting. This information will be used to make automatic adjustments to the greenhouse climate control system in order to provide optimal growing conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>Clean Power + Plant UV Protection<\/h2>\n<p>Just like us, leafy plants require protection from UV. But as they can&#8217;t slip, slop, slap, leafy plants produce a substance called epicuticular wax that helps to protect from moisture loss and reflects UV. As much of the UV light hitting the solar glass will be used for energy generation, the theory is &#8211; which is to be tested &#8211; the plants won&#8217;t have to expend as much energy in producing the coating and instead this can go towards boosting yields.<\/p>\n<p>As to how much ClearVue glass has been used for the greenhouse in terms of area and its overall generation capacity wasn&#8217;t mentioned in <a href=\"https:\/\/asx.api.markitdigital.com\/asx-research\/1.0\/file\/2924-02364700-6A1028866?access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4\">yesterday&#8217;s announcement<\/a>, only that a &#8220;large proportion&#8221; of the energy required by the greenhouse will be supplied by the windows. The greenhouse has PV triple glazing installed on 3 rooms, while the first room (left on the image above) is a trial &#8220;control&#8221; room with single pane glazing only.<\/p>\n<p>With the official opening now out of the way, it&#8217;s expected plant science trials will commence immediately. These will be conducted by Murdoch University&#8217;s geneticist <a href=\"http:\/\/profiles.murdoch.edu.au\/myprofile\/chengdao-li\/\"> Professor Chengdao Li <\/a> and his team, while the ClearVue team will be carrying out research on the facility&#8217;s energy generation and efficiency performance.<\/p>\n<p>The project was partially funded by an Australian Federal Government $1.6 million Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) grant.<\/p>\n<p>In other recent news from ClearVue, last week the company announced the signing of a distribution agreement with Japan&#8217;s Tomita Technologies &#8211; which is described as being Japan&#8217;s leading horticulture and greenhouse solution provider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A high-tech greenhouse comprised mainly of solar glass generating electricity to help run it was officially opened yesterday in Western Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":49512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ClearVue Solar Glass Greenhouse Officially Opened - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A greenhouse comprised mainly of solar glass generating electricity to help run it was officially opened yesterday in Western Australia.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/clearvue-solar-greenhouse-mb1962\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ClearVue Solar Glass Greenhouse Officially Opened\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A greenhouse comprised mainly of solar glass generating electricity to help run it was officially opened yesterday in Western Australia.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/clearvue-solar-greenhouse-mb1962\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-04-19T20:00:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-04-19T20:03:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/clearvue-solar-greenhouse.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/clearvue-solar-greenhouse-mb1962\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/clearvue-solar-greenhouse-mb1962\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"ClearVue Solar Glass Greenhouse Officially Opened\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-04-19T20:00:26+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-04-19T20:03:38+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/clearvue-solar-greenhouse-mb1962\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":506,\"commentCount\":1,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/clearvue-solar-greenhouse-mb1962\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/04\\\/clearvue-solar-greenhouse.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
