eFacade TILT is a breakthrough in design-integrated photovoltaics. It goes beyond surface coverage to offer solar performance through angular design—adding geometry, motion, and energy to vertical walls. Installed with custom mounting hardware, each unit is designed with a unique mounting system that enables nine distinct tilt levels, introducing dynamic shadows, variable depths, and enhanced solar exposure.
Architects can now shape solar energy into the building’s identity, combining visual impact with practical output—all in one unified system.
TILT’s signature feature is its angled orientation, which:
Installed via our CladiShield™ (rainscreen) system and available in 23 colours, TILT balances engineering flexibility with architectural expression.
Whether applied to accent a curtainwall, animate a façade, or form a full building skin—TILT introduces new tools for solar-integrated design.
Each eFacade TILT unit uses a dual-glass composition:
Architects can specify custom colour combinations across the 23 standard hues—uniform for cohesion or gradient for creativity. The resulting array offers lasting performance and weather resistance, with no compromise on design intent.
Despite its sculptural appearance, TILT is built for efficiency in installation and long-term performance:
This makes TILT as buildable as it is beautiful—delivering solar energy generation and building envelope innovation in one streamlined envelope.
With eFacade TILT, Mitrex brings together solar logic and architectural language. The result is a product that enables design decisions to carry real energy value—turning building envelopes into tools of sustainability and expression.
On anything from commercial buildings, new builds, skyscrapers to institutional retrofits, TILT helps elevate façades into power-generating surfaces that shape space, identity, and performance.

Buildings account for a significant share of global carbon emissions, driven by both operational energy use and embodied carbon in construction materials. Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) offer a unique opportunity to address both challenges simultaneously. By integrating solar energy generation directly into the building envelope, Mitrex BIPV systems enable buildings to generate clean electricity onsite while contributing to long-term energy efficiency and sustainability goals.

This article explains how commercial and institutional project teams can stack federal tax credits, accelerated depreciation, and regional incentives to significantly reduce the upfront cost of a Mitrex BIPV facade in 2026. It outlines the current incentive landscape in both the United States and Canada, highlights time-sensitive U.S. deadlines, and includes a worked Ontario example to show how multiple funding layers can be applied in practice.
