eFacade LITE or PRO: Tailoring the Right Solar Facade to Every Building's Need

When it comes to solar-integrated building facades, two Mitrex's key players dominate the scene: eFacade LITE and eFacade PRO. Both systems offer powerful solar energy generation while adding aesthetic appeal to modern architectural designs. But how do they compare? Let's dive into their unique features, performance capabilities, and installation advantages to help you decide which is right for your next project.

Design and Customization

• eFacade LITE brings simplicity to the forefront with its minimalist, modular design available in two standard sizes (73x36 inches and 73x18 inches) and four sleek color options. It’s ideal for projects that demand quick installations without compromising aesthetics.
• eFacade PRO, on the other hand, offers unparalleled customization. Whether you want circular, triangular, or hexagonal panels, Mitrex has it covered. It also provides an array of texture and color options, allowing for seamless integration with any architectural style.

Performance and Energy Efficiency

• eFacade LITE is available in five color options, offering specific power outputs of 6, 13, 15, and 17 W/sqft. It is designed with pre-engineered specifications to streamline installation and ensure consistency, making it ideal for projects where simplicity and reliability are key.
• eFacade PRO Standard offers a diverse selection of 104 solid colors and textures, with power output options ranging from 5W to 16W per square foot.The eFacade PRO Custom option allows for full customization, matching any color or design, and can also work backwards from power requirements to aesthetics, creating a tailored solution for clients with highly specific needs.

Installation Made Easy

• eFacade LITE leads in installation ease with its plug-and-play design. No complicated wiring or lengthy setups—just plug it in and power up. This makes it a top choice for projects where speed and simplicity are essential.
• eFacade PRO, while slightly more complex due to its custom options, offers robust installation solutions for larger, more intricate designs. Its lightweight aluminum honeycomb core ensures both durability and ease of handling, even for bigger installations.

Certifications and Durability

Both systems come with industry-leading certifications:

• eFacade LITE is certified under UL 61730 and UL 61215 and has undergone rigorous fire, wind, and hail impact tests.
• eFacade PRO goes a step further, tested under extreme conditions including fire resistance and even Martian environmental simulations.

Which Solar Facade is Right for You?

If you’re looking for a quick, hassle-free solar solution with clean, modern aesthetics, eFacade LITE is your go-to. Its simplified installation and efficient energy generation make it ideal for projects requiring minimal disruption and fast results.

On the other hand, if design flexibility and customizable aesthetics are at the top of your list, eFacade PRO offers unmatched options. With a wide range of colors, shapes, and textures, this system allows architects to blend functionality with stunning visual appeal.

Choosing between eFacade LITE and eFacade PRO boils down to your project’s priorities. Whether you value installation speed or architectural creativity, both systems offer cutting-edge solar technology backed by durability and performance.
