Under this five-year agreement, Alutec will manufacture and distribute ClearVuePV Solar Vision Glass, a product that integrates solar technology into building façades to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in key markets. This innovative technology is set to revolutionize the construction industry by offering significant environmental benefits and supporting various governments' ambitious sustainability targets.
