Emirates Glass and ClearVue to Offer Solar Glazing Solutions

Emirates Glass, a leading glass processing company in the region and a subsidiary of Dubai Investments, on Thursday said that it has signed a five-year Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with Australia-based ClearVue Technologies Limited to bring cutting-edge solar glazing solutions to the UAE and wider GCC market.

The agreement was formalised, with production expected to commence later this year, Dubai Investments said in a regulatory filing with Dubai Financial Market (DFM) this morning.

Established in 1989 in the UAE as a subsidiary of Glass LLC under Dubai Investments, Emirates Glass has become a force in the architectural glass industry, contributing to major projects across the UAE and beyond.

Operating one of the world’s largest single-site integrated glass processing facilities, spanning 400,000 sq. ft., Emirates Glass delivers a diverse range of high-performance glass products.

The agreement enables Emirates Glass to locally manufacture ClearVue’s advanced solar-integrated glass – a next-generation technology that allows glass to generate electricity from sunlight while maintaining clarity and high-performance insulation.

Emirates Glass will also hold non-exclusive distribution rights across the UAE and the broader GCC region, supporting the increasing demand for sustainable building materials in sun-rich environments.

This partnership underscores the growing market appetite for clean, renewable energy solutions embedded into building materials, the company said in the filing.

The solar glazing, spandrel and cladding technology is designed for use in commercial, residential, and institutional developments and is suitable for façades, skylights, windows, canopies, and even greenhouses – offering a blend of function, energy efficiency, and design flexibility.

ClearVue’s Integrated Solar Façade maximises on-site renewable energy generation for a sustainable building envelope. This allows buildings to reduce reliance on conventional power sources while enhancing natural light and thermal performance – a particularly valuable solution in climates like the Emirates.

ClearVue Solar Façade solutions are engineered to seamlessly deploy standard curtainwall and framing systems while meeting the most stringent fire rating requirements for high rise buildings.

Emirates Glass Executive President Rizwanulla Khan said that the partnership will introduce this innovative technology to their customers across the region. Together, Emirates and ClearVue will intensify the momentum for broad deployment of Building Integrated Photovoltaic solutions.”

“As the construction sector continues to evolve, the need for energy-efficient, high-performance building materials is more urgent than ever. This collaboration aligns with our commitment to sustainable innovation and reinforces our position at the forefront of the regional glass industry,” he said.

Doug Hunt, Global CEO of ClearVue Technologies, said that Emirates Glass is a recognised leader in the Middle East’s glass manufacturing sector, and their collaboration the UAE firm will enable them to expand their global footprint. The UAE and GCC are ideal markets for our solar facade solutions, given the region’s focus on sustainability and abundance of sunlight, he said.

The partnership supports the UAE’s broader sustainability ambitions, including the Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative, and positions Emirates Glass and Dubai Investments at the intersection of industrial innovation and environmental responsibility.
