Solstex® by Elemex Achieves NFPA 285 Fire Safety Certification

We’re proud to share a major milestone for Elemex and the future of architectural facades: our innovative solar facade system, Solstex, has officially passed the NFPA 285 fire safety test in the United States.

This certification is a testament to our commitment to safety, sustainability, and advanced facade technology. With Solstex, you get more than just a solar panel — you get a code-compliant, fire-rated solar facade solution that enhances both the performance and aesthetics of modern buildings.

NFPA 285 is a rigorous, full-scale test that evaluates a wall assembly’s resistance to vertical and lateral flame spread when exposed to a controlled fire. Meeting this standard ensures that Solstex complies with key fire safety requirements for use in non-combustible wall assemblies, offering architects and building owners both innovation and peace of mind.

We extend our sincere thanks to our dedicated team and valued partners for making this achievement possible.
