Solstex® – Solar Facade
Solstex® - Solar Facade System by Elemex is a revolutionary facade system that enables designers and architects to incorporate lightweight, large-format photovoltaic panels into a building’s facade instead of on its roof. Solstex leverages high-efficiency, weather-resistant photovoltaic panels that not only reduce your building’s carbon footprint, but also generate LEED credits and savings that cover the cost of installation within 10-12 years. Solar panels are ideal for both new construction or retrofits and the surface, which resembles black glass, is ideal in combination with other surfaces such as Aluminum Plate, ACM, sintered ceramic, natural stone etc.

Solstex, offered by Ontario Panelization, is a unique solution that combines
architecture and clean energy, as photovoltaic glass is directly integrated into
building facades. Solar cladding panels can generate energy without compromising
aesthetics, unlike conventional systems. It is suitable for solar panel facade designs,
which provide form and functionality. The system also promotes sustainable
architecture using building-integrated solar technology.
Yes, Ontario Panelization’s Solstex system can be used in various types of buildings,
including commercial and residential. It is also flexible to install and, therefore,
suitable for solar siding. In residential applications, it improves the exterior and
produces power. It is also a good match for BIPV cladding in commercial projects,
enhancing both performance and aesthetics.
Absolutely. Solstex is a quality building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) system, which
is incorporated into the exteriors of buildings. It substitutes conventional cladding
systems with practical solar surfaces. The design enables photovoltaic cladding,
allowing buildings to generate clean energy directly through their envelope. This
combination is more efficient without sacrificing design.
Solstex is also instrumental in helping projects earn points towards certifications
such as LEED and Net-Zero Energy. It acts as solar cladding panels, where traditional
materials are substituted with energy-generating ones. It increases thermal
performance and energy production when combined with solar facade systems. The
system is a good fit for environmentally friendly developments.
The system is designed using tempered photovoltaic glass for durability and high
performance. Its materials are selected to resist severe weather conditions and still
remain attractive. Projects often opt for photovoltaic cladding due to its
compatibility with building-integrated photovoltaic panels. It strikes a balance
between strength and energy generation capacity.
Solstex is installed with a lightweight aluminum frame, making it easy to integrate
into various facades. Solar panel cladding is also low-maintenance, similar to
traditional cladding systems. Installers appreciate that it works well with solar panel
cladding components. To maintain it, the smooth surface will minimize the amount
of dirt buildup and enhance durability.
