Unparalleled Design Flexibility for Solar Facade

Using Unity® Proprietary Attachment Technology, Solstex® solar cladding integrates seamlessly with other panel types to design a unique building facade that saves you money by generating electricity.

  • Unlike the unaesthetic open joints of a back-hung attachment system, Unity creates evenly spread half-inch joints across the facade that are closed with black infill strips.
  • Individual Solstex®solar facade panels can be removed, repaired and reinstalled without removing or impacting surrounding panels.
  • Solstex® solar panels combine easily with other Elemex products, like sintered ceramic or ACM, for areas of the exterior facade where solar panels are impractical.

The Perfect Balance of Efficiency & Aesthetics

Solstex® panels are colored glass rather than glass panels covered with colored film, an advantage that delivers excellent efficiency and rich color that lasts over time.

  • Every Solstex® colored glass panel provides 17.35% efficiency whereas glass panels with colored film from leading competitors can be as low as 5%.
  • Glass solar panels with colored film offer pattern options but some patterns can obstruct sunlight from getting through the panel and impact overall efficiency.
  • Film-patterned glass solar panels can also create “hot spots” — areas within the panel that become hotter than the surrounding areas and can cause damage.
  • Solstex® colored glass panels maintain their color throughout the lifetime of a building while colored film can fade over time due to prolonged sun exposure.

Superior Protection from Moisture Damage

Solstex® solar facade systems include a rear-ventilated rainscreen that makes it less likely to trap moisture and delaminate than honeycombed-backed solar panels.

  • Solstex® solar facades include rear-ventilated rainscreen systems that breathe freely and repel water debris from the wall cavity.
  • The Solstex® solar facade rainscreen system enhances moisture management and helps ensure the long-term durability and performance of the building envelope.
  • Honeycomb-backed panels can trap moisture and delaminate as water infiltrates the area between the aluminum honeycomb backing and the glass panel.
  • During freezing temperatures, water inside the honeycomb cells expands into ice, threatening the structural integrity and aesthetics of the facade system.
