Canadian BIPV Maker Mitrex Releases 800W Solar Panel

Akuo Energy agrisolar expansion

Mitrex Integrated Solar Technology, a Canadian building integrated photovoltaics manufacturer, has released its largest tandem solar panel with a total power output of up to 800W.

The panels are made in Canada using monocrystalline silicon solar cells and are equipped with Mitrex’s patented anti-reflecting technology which is said to optimize electricity generation. The Mitrex solar panels come with a 25-year warranty.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is the integration of photovoltaics (PV) into the building envelope. BIPV’s efficiency is said to rely on the level of light transmitted through the glass to the photovoltaic layer. When colours or patterns are applied to the protective glass layer of a solar panel, light transmittance is affected.
