“Our favorite part of the Solstex® system is its dual functionality. With traditional photovoltaic systems, you need to worry about compatibility/warranty issues with other building envelope elements, and the systems themselves have relatively long payback periods. With Solstex® you get the energy benefits from the PV and you get to discount the cost of the system against traditional cladding materials. On top of that, the system is visually stunning.”
JP Frydrychowicz, P.Eng., Director, Power & Building Systems, EllisDon Corporation
360° Advantage
Collaboration between EllisDon and the technical team at Elemex® was essential to the reclad of the existing EllisDon London Office. With the growing interest in Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), using the new Solstex® – solar facade system by Elemex® was a great opportunity to install a facade with a return on investment.
Along with the financial benefits of using Solstex® come the environmental advantages. Photovoltaics generate clean energy which reduce carbon emissions when compared to oil-based energy sources. EllisDon is a company that promotes corporate responsibility and sustainable building design and Elemex® was able to help make this happen.
