Mitrex eFacade LITE with FlexFit has officially been announced!

The new field-adjustable module solution is designed to address one of the longstanding challenges in BIPV installation: fixed module sizing.

With FlexFit, non-active modules can be adapted on-site to accommodate real-world facade conditions without requiring re-fabrication, helping simplify installation while maintaining facade continuity and architectural consistency.

The announcement was recently featured on Yahoo Finance:

Tools down. Lunch up.

Yesterday, Mitrex hosted a lunch for the dedicated trades, installation teams, and EllisDon crews working on the Myron & Berna Garron Health Sciences Complex (SAMIH) at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
With hotdogs, drinks, and ice cream for the crew, it was a small way to recognize the hard work, coordination, and craftsmanship going into bringing one of North America’s largest institutional BIPV projects to life.

A huge thank you to everyone on site helping turn this vision into reality.

Progress continues at the Myron & Berna Garron Health Sciences Complex (SAMIH) at the University of Toronto Scarborough.

Mitrex has now completed approximately 70% of the solar facade installation, with three installation teams working simultaneously across multiple elevations of the building.

As one of the largest institutional BIPV projects in North America, SAMIH continues to demonstrate how solar facades can be integrated at scale while supporting both architectural and energy performance goals.

No structural build-out framing, all factory pre-assembled panels.

Mitrex and Cladify are featured in the latest issue of Architectural Record highlighting how we provide no Structural build-out framing, all factory pre-assembled panels as shown at the Western University Entrepreneurship & Innovation Centre and its use of aluminum honeycomb-backed cladding.

The project demonstrates how advanced facade systems can support ambitious architectural design while contributing to long-term sustainability goals, an approach central to both Mitrex and Cladify.

Design intent. Technical integration. Real-world execution.

From early-stage concepts to completed buildings, Mitrex works closely with architects, developers, engineers, and contractors to help integrate solar directly into the building envelope.

Projects like the SunRise retrofit, the Myron & Berna Garron Health Sciences Complex (SAMIH), and the 1 Hamilton project demonstrate how BIPV can support ambitious architectural visions while delivering on-site energy generation.

Mitrex Sales Director Cory Fry is attending Decarb Summits NYC on May 13–14.

As building performance standards continue to evolve, the conversation around Building-Integrated Photovoltaics is becoming increasingly important, not just for energy generation, but for the future of the building envelope itself.

We look forward to joining industry leaders, architects, developers, and sustainability professionals shaping the next generation of decarbonized buildings.

Retrofitting, redefined.

In this clip from The Clean Energy Edge Podcast, the conversation explores how BIPV can be applied to existing buildings, transforming traditional facade upgrades into energy-generating systems.

As more buildings look to improve performance, retrofit applications are becoming one of the most practical paths for integrating solar into the built environment.

Retrofitting isn’t just about adding systems, it’s about upgrading performance.

Installing solar facades on existing buildings requires careful evaluation of the structure, facade condition, and integration approach. This checklist outlines key considerations, including: Assessing existing building envelope conditions, understanding structural and mounting requirements, planning for electrical integration, coordinating facade replacement with system design.

A practical guide for teams exploring how BIPV can be applied to retrofit projects.

What architects are really asking about BIPV.

In this quick conversation, Mitrex Product Consultant Brian Vaz shares insights from the U.S. market, covering:

- Where BIPV adoption is growing
- What drives architects to consider solar facades
- Common misconceptions around performance and integration
- The difference between traditional cladding and energy-generating building material
- A concise look at how BIPV is being evaluated in real projects.

In this clip from The Clean Energy Edge Podcast, the conversation explores how Mitrex BIPV can transform city skylines into energy-generating assets.

As buildings scale, so does the opportunity to integrate energy directly into the facade, turning entire elevations into sources of clean electricity.

This Earth Day, we’re reminded that the architecture and construction have a direct role to play in reducing emissions and improving long-term sustainability.

Mitrex solar facades integrate energy generation directly into the building envelope, turning passive surfaces into energy-generating building materials.
