eFacade TILT: Where Solar Performance Meets Another Dimension

BIPV

November 5, 2025

Why TILT Changes the Game in BIPV

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.

Geometry That Generates Energy 

TILT’s signature feature is its angled orientation, which:

  • Creates architectural relief on flat surfaces

  • Enhances building depth and light interaction

  • Offers energy production where traditional orientations fall short

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.

Durable and Designed for Aesthetics

Each eFacade TILT unit uses a dual-glass composition:

  • Front Layer: Tempered glass with interchangeable colour finishes

  • Back Layer: Tempered glass backing for durability

  • Core: High-efficiency monocrystalline solar cells

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.

Engineered to Integrate

Despite its sculptural appearance, TILT is built for efficiency in installation and long-term performance:

  • Weight: 4.05 lb/SQFT (19.8 kg/m²)
  • Angles: 9 Distinct Orientations
  • Output: Up to 15 W/SQFT
  • Mounting: Seamlessly integrates into Mitrex’s CladiShield™ rainscreen system
  • Application: Suitable for both new builds and retrofits

This makes TILT as buildable as it is beautiful—delivering solar energy generation and building envelope innovation in one streamlined envelope.

Expand the Possibilities of Solar Design

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.
