Solar Facade
eFacade LITE by Mitrex is a pre-engineered solar facade system with advanced building-integrated photovoltaic technology (BIPV) created to accelerate solar adoption without compromising performance. A ventilated rainscreen system with a hidden extruded aluminum profile encasing a layer of high-efficiency solar cells and a glass facing, each panel is a powerhouse of energy.
Designed for projects seeking rapid deployment, lower costs, and simplified electrical integration, LITE panels feature a built-in PowerBar that enables plug-and-play wiring on site. With two panel sizes and five color options, eFacade LITE delivers energy performance in a system that’s optimized for streamlined delivery and long-term durability. It's the ideal solution for retrofit projects, budget-conscious developments, or buildings that require simplicity and speed.
Features
As a fully integrated BIPV system, eFacade LITE delivers high energy output without compromising on durability, with power up to 18W/SF. Pre-installed wiring and microinverters simplify integration with a plug and power system, helping eliminate engineering and design for a solar system.
Available in five colors with a satin glass finish, eFacade LITE provides a clean, minimalist look suitable for a range of architectural styles. eFacade LITE is available in two standardized sizes of 73 x 36 in (1854 x 922 mm) and 73 x 18 in (1854 x 456 mm) and 11 panel layouts, streamlining installation and layout planning while maintaining design flexibility.
eFacade LITE is engineered as a ventilated rainscreen facade, creating a continuous air cavity between the cladding and the insulation. This design optimizes thermal performance, reduces moisture accumulation, and enhances the overall durability and energy efficiency of the building envelope.
As part of our mission to reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment, eFacade LITE contributes to operational carbon reduction with clean energy generation and is made with recyclable components and low-embodied carbon materials.
eFacade LITE has been independently tested and certified for compliance with key international standards, including UL 61730, UL 61215, ASTM E330 for wind load resistance, and ASTM E1996 for impact resistance.
The panels are constructed with non-combustible glass and a tested backing system, meeting stringent fire safety requirements for facade systems across global jurisdictions, including EN 13501 A2-s1,d0 for fire classification, and NFPA 285 for fire propagation.
LITE panels are rated for harsh environmental conditions to ensure exceptional durability, including extreme UV exposure, heavy rain, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles, and are operational between -40°C and +85°C.
Designed with durability in mind, the panels feature self-cleaning glass and long-life surface treatments, requiring minimal maintenance over their 25-year power performance warranty.
Projects using eFacade LITE may qualify for a range of sustainability incentives, including government rebates, green energy grants, and low-cost financing options available in various regions across North America.
Color
Mitrex eFacade LITE is available in five clean, neutral color tones to blend with any project. These curated options are designed to complement a wide range of architectural materials such as aluminum panels, GFRC, EIFS, and ACM. Whether your design calls for a bold contrast or understated elegance, LITE's palette offers the flexibility to enhance visual cohesion across facades.
The colors are not just applied finishes; they are built into the solar panel surface, preserving both appearance and performance over time. The satin glass finish ensures a low-glare, consistent aesthetic that integrates cleanly into contemporary architectural styles.
