Mitrex is a specialist in high-performance building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems that combine solar generation and façade aesthetics.
Mitrex presents Solar Glass, a versatile energy-generating glazing solution that transforms ordinary building elements into dynamic power sources.
This innovative system integrates high-efficiency solar cells between layers of durable, heat-tempered glass, available in opaque, semi-opaque, and transparent designs, delivering up to 18 W/ft² of clean solar power while enhancing building aesthetics and performance.
Features:
- High Solar Output: Solar Glass generates up to 18 W/ft² of solar energy, aiding in reducing operational carbon emissions and supporting net-zero energy goals.
- Aesthetic Flexibility: With a curated palette of opaque, semi-opaque, and transparent glass finishes, Solar Glass allows designers to achieve sleek, modern façades without visual compromise.
- Durability and Longevity: Built to last as long as the buildings they adorn, Solar Glass solutions are backed by a robust 25-year warranty, guaranteeing no less than 80% of original power output even after 25 years.
- Comprehensive Support: From material crafting to system hardware, electrical design, and installation, Mitrex provides comprehensive support for every project. Concealed wiring and circuitry maintain the aesthetic integrity of any building, ensuring that the beauty of the design is matched by its efficiency.
- Sustainability: Proudly made in Canada, Solar Glass boasts a carbon-negative lifecycle, with 98% of components being recyclable. This commitment to sustainability extends from the manufacturing process to the end of the product's life, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint.
