Sealed for Life: The Solar Glass That Never Lets You Down

Solar Solutions

December 4, 2024

Solar glass is reshaping modern architecture, offering a perfect blend of sustainability, aesthetics, and functionality. By integrating solar cells directly into glass panels, buildings can now generate clean energy without compromising their visual appeal. However, a common concern is whether these panels can withstand environmental wear and tear over time, particularly the risk of delamination.

Mitrex has perfected solar glass technology to ensure durability, reliability, and a lifetime free from delamination. Here’s how we make it happen.

The Science Behind Durability: EVA Lamination

At the heart of Mitrex Solar Glass’s unmatched reliability is EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) lamination. This advanced process securely bonds solar cells between layers of tempered, low-iron glass, forming a robust and flexible structure. EVA is renowned for its resistance to UV exposure, humidity, and extreme temperatures.

Unlike conventional adhesives, EVA creates a seamless bond that resists cracking and separation, even in harsh climates. By meticulously eliminating air pockets during production, we ensure no weak points compromise the integrity of the panels.

Precision Manufacturing for Long-Lasting Strength

Durability starts with precise manufacturing. Every Mitrex solar glass panel is crafted in a controlled vacuum environment where heat and pressure fuse the layers without imperfections. This ensures flawless structural integrity.

Edge sealing is critical in protecting against delamination. Advanced sealing materials fortify the edges, keeping moisture and air at bay—even in high-humidity or rainy conditions. This essential feature guarantees the panels retain their strength and efficiency.

Protective Coatings for Enhanced Longevity

Beyond lamination, Mitrex applies specialized coatings to extend the panels’ lifespan and maintain their performance:

  • Anti-soiling coatings: Reduce dirt accumulation, minimizing maintenance.
  • Anti-reflective coatings: Boost energy absorption by reducing glare and safeguarding against scratches and abrasions.

These enhancements ensure Mitrex Solar Glass stays efficient and visually appealing over time.

Rigorous Testing for Guaranteed Performance

To ensure long-term reliability, Mitrex Solar Glass undergoes comprehensive testing under real-world conditions:

  • Thermal cycling tests simulate extreme temperature changes to assess material resilience.
  • Humidity resistance tests evaluate the panel’s ability to withstand tropical climates.
  • Mechanical stress tests replicate impacts from wind, hail, and debris to verify durability.

Every panel is rigorously vetted against industry standards to guarantee exceptional performance and durability.

Proper Installation: The Key to Longevity

Even the most advanced solar glass requires precision installation to maximize its lifespan. Mitrex-certified professionals ensure panels are mounted evenly, minimizing stress points, and integrate concealed wiring to preserve structural and aesthetic integrity.

Post-installation, upkeep is simple. Regular cleaning with non-abrasive methods and periodic visual inspections keep the panels performing at their peak for years.

Lifetime Durability Built on Innovation

Mitrex Solar Glass comes with a lifetime guarantee against delamination—a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology behind every panel. From premium materials to precision manufacturing and protective coatings, every detail is optimized for longevity.

Choosing Mitrex means investing in a product that combines energy efficiency, durability, and peace of mind. Whether you’re constructing a high-rise or retrofitting an existing building, Mitrex Solar Glass offers a sustainable solution you can rely on.

Why Mitrex Solar Glass is the Future

Mitrex Solar Glass redefines modern architecture by merging beauty, functionality, and unmatched durability. With a lifetime guarantee and exceptional performance, these panels are more than an energy solution—they’re a commitment to a greener, more sustainable future.
