BIPV
December 17, 2025
Mitrex BIPV systems are engineered for exceptional longevity, using testing protocols that go far beyond minimum code requirements for both solar modules and facade materials. As a building material, Mitrex products are projected to have a lifespan of 60 years. Mitrex BIPV provides lasting architectural value, consistent energy production, and long-term reliability, whether installed on high-rise residential buildings, healthcare infrastructure, educational institutions, or even airports.
Mitrex solar facade products physically last the lifetime of the building and beyond as a building envelope product.
The warranty guarantees that the energy generation will have a minimum energy output of 80% by year 25. However, energy generation will continue after the warranty period ends for as long as the panels are on the wall.
Our lifetime warranty ensures reliable, durable facades as the panels require minimal maintenance and there is zero panel replacement needed for the building lifetime.
Mitrex’s approach to durability goes beyond standard solar testing and into full-scale building envelope validation.
Operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C
Mitrex BIPV modules are validated across extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in:
Whether it is healthcare facilities in Alberta, education buildings in Toronto, or landmark high-rises in Dubai, Mitrex BIPV is engineered for global performance across diverse regions and verticals.
Mitrex BIPV has successfully passed 200+ extreme freeze-thaw cycles with:
This level of testing confirms long-term durability for Canadian winters, alpine environments, and regions with severe seasonal changes. Tested in accordance with ASTM C666 / C666M-15 and MQT12 from IEC 61215.
High-pressure water testing demonstrates:
Ideal for coastal cities, humid regions, and projects with year-round precipitation. Salt Spray Resistance ASTM B117-16, and Wet Leakage Current Test - MQT15 from IEC 61215.
In this test, they submerge the panel and send 500V through the panel checking for short circuits.
Mitrex BIPV meets and exceeds global standards, including ASTM E330 for wind load performance and ASTM E1996 for impact resistance. This ensures reliability for high-rise towers in hurricane zones, institutional buildings, and dense urban environments subject to increased wind pressures.
Mitrex BIPV complies with leading fire safety standards:
This makes Mitrex BIPV a safe, code-compliant solution for tall buildings, public institutions, and mixed-use high-density developments worldwide.
Beyond structural and electrical performance, Mitrex BIPV maintains long-term aesthetic integrity:
Mitrex BIPV is engineered to elevate architectural design while maintaining performance for decades.
Mitrex solar facades remain productive throughout their lifecycle, contributing to reduced operational carbon, lower operating expenses, improved ESG scores, faster payback periods, and long-term renewable energy production
This helps large buildings, such as universities, hospitals, residential towers, and commercial offices, reduce grid reliance and strengthen sustainability reporting.

Mitrex BIPV is validated across climates, including:
Wherever the project is located, Mitrex BIPV is engineered to last and engineered to perform.
Mitrex BIPV provides:
By merging durability, safety, beauty, and renewable energy production, Mitrex BIPV transforms the facade into a long-term asset that elevates design and delivers measurable impact for decades.

This blog explores how Mitrex’s modular design, engineered mounting systems, and project-tested flexibility enable seamless solar integration with aging or occupied buildings. Use real retrofit case studies like the Loyola Residence at St. Mary’s University and 1154 Wilson Avenue, we show how BIPV can modernize façades without compromising aesthetics, performance, or occupants’ comfort.
