Overview

Project overview

The Londonderry showcases how solar technology can seamlessly integrate into modern residential architecture. This rental apartment building, owned and developed by Victoria Park Community Homes, has been retrofitted with approximately 11,000 SQFT of Mitrex E-Facade LITE solar cladding in Blackout, Cassia, and Storm Grey finishes. Installed using the CladiShield (rainscreen) system, the panels create a refined, energy-generating exterior.


Designed by Invizij Architects, engineered by Pretium Engineering, and constructed by Pre-Can Wall Systems as general contractor, the project illustrates how building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) can enhance both performance and aesthetics in community housing. The upgraded facade is projected to produce approximately 110 kW of clean electricity, delivering long-term energy efficiency while transforming the building’s visual identity.

Project Solutions

Solutions in use

Solar Facade

Our Solar Facades are designed to effortlessly substitute your building's existing facade, transforming it into a dynamic solar energy-harvesting surface. At the heart of each panel lies a sturdy aluminum honeycomb core, coupled with a layer of high-performance solar cells, making every piece an efficient source of renewable energy.

Overtop the energy generating layer is the customizable exterior– a versatile canvas that can recreate any pattern or color. This adaptability allows the fusion of aesthetically pleasing architectural solar facades with the functional benefits of BIPV technology. It’s a harmonious blend of form and function, bringing to life facades that not only captivate the eye but also contribute positively to the environment.
