Frequently Asked Questions.

A Solarix sample functions as an aesthetic assessment of a desired Solarix solar panel design. It is a glass plate of 4 mm thick and with a size of 200×300 mm. The sample therefore does not contain a second glass plate, solar cell and junction box, as is the case with a Solarix solar facade panel. A black backsheet has been used to mimic the appearance of a solar cell.

Do you want a sample in a different format? We can supply custom sized samples for a fee. The delivery time is currently 7 to 9 weeks.

Step 1)
If you are interested, we would like to contact you immediately. Through a short intake we will tell you more about our product, discuss the first details of the project and give an initial estimate of the application possibility of a Solarix facade for the project.

Step 2)
Via our no-obligation Solarcheck we calculate the potential energy generation of the facades for the project, we give you insight into the investment and the associated payback time.

Step 3) The customer gives provisional GO to further develop the project.

Step 4)
By means of a signed preliminary assignment (our Solarscan) scan), we look at the project at a detailed level, whether or not together with the project team, we investigate optimization possibilities, we carry out an extensive insolation study including shading, and we make a proposal for the mounting system and electrical diagram.

Step 5)
A permit application is being made for the solar facade project.

Step 6)
Based on a detailed plan, Solarix makes a quotation for the delivery of the panels whether or not including mounting system.

Step 7)
Solarix solar facade panels (including mounting system) are delivered and the construction of a special energy-generating facade can start!

The solar panels, including mounting system, are mounted and installed by partners or third parties. If desired, we at Solarix can be involved as project supervisor.

At the moment we mainly deliver our products in the Netherlands. Internationally, we work on projects in Belgium, Germany, United Emirates and the US.

We do not have sales representatives outside the Netherlands. All sales are handled by our experienced salespeople from Amsterdam.

The delivery time for our solar panels is currently (Sept 2022) 18 to 22 weeks. Please contact our sales team for current information via [email protected].

For projects within the Netherlands, our minimum order size is 100 m².
For international projects, our minimum order size is 500 m²

Prices depend on the type of product, as well as the shape, size and quantity of your order.

Our panels are produced per project with attention to quality and aesthetics. Together with the customer we look for the best solution for every project and we can also translate this into a price indication.

Payback times of a Solarix solar facade can be achieved from 5 years. This of course depends on the type of project, type of product, orientation, energy costs and other wishes. Request a Solarcheck so that we can go through the business case of your project together with you. Mail to [email protected] or call 020-2440641

Our SolarCheck is a first non-binding check on a building. Based on satellite data, we provide an estimate of how much energy your facade can generate in a year. We analyze the orientation of the building in relation to the sun, what the optimal surfaces of panels on the facade can be, and how much CO₂ emissions are saved with the generation of this sustainable energy! In addition, we show in outline what the investment will be and what the return is.

The energy generated by a solar facade depends on various variables such as orientation, tilt/inclination angle, the power of the desired solar panel, location of the building (shade, land), construction of the facade (depth) and the facade surface suitable for our solar panels. On average, our solar panels provide 110 kWh per year in a south-facing facade arrangement.

By means of a SolarCheck we can provide insight into how much energy your facade can potentially generate. Contact our sales team via [email protected] or call 020-2440641 to request a SolarCheck.

Yes, a Solarix facade can be used in new construction as well as in redevelopment/renovation projects.

A Solarix facade can provide very favorable business models for both types of projects. A Solarix solar facade replaces the “normal” outer leaf of the facade for a facade that generates energy. The facade therefore pays for itself! This is beneficial not only for new construction, but also for renovation. If you are already working on a facade renovation, then the step is easily made to an energy-generating facade versus a brick wall that generates nothing. We are happy to go through the business case for your project together.

Solarix solar facade panels can be integrated into almost all facades. In most applications, this is possible with the Solarix mounting system. This is a ventilated facade solution.

Yes, digital textures from the Solarix collection are available on request.

Solarix custom solar panels are available in various sizes. The efficiency of the panel depends on the dimensions of the panel in relation to the actual cell distribution. Solarix can advise on efficient dimensions within a project.

1. Discuss customer wishes with design team Solarix regarding color and design
2. Design proposal
3. Order samples
4. Measuring Yields
5. Any latest optimizations

For the NZEB application, the capacity per m² (Wp/m²) and the total installed capacity (kWp) are important. This depends on the type of panel, the color and the amount of m². If this is known, we can provide this data in draft. This can then be entered at a fixed rate in the BENG calculation.

For the mounting system, you should calculate 67-70 mm from the facade.

Solarix solar facade panels have fire safety level B according to EN ISO 11925-2 and EN 13823

This depends on the project, the different types of panels and other wishes. Solarix can make a proposal for an electrical diagram that is then further elaborated together with the E-installer.

Yes. A proposal for such a contract can be drawn up before/during/after delivery of the project. Agreements can be made for active fault monitoring and a maintenance plan. Depending on the project, this will be carried out by Solarix or the E-installer.

This depends on your assortment, company size, network and location. We are currently only collaborating within Europe. If you operate within the Netherlands or the EU, please contact our sales department with a short profile of your company.

Do you operate outside Europe? Our minimum order size for projects abroad is 500 m².

At Solarix, circularity is an important point of attention.

Our panels have an aesthetic lifespan of > 50 years, but the solar panel market is not yet at the stage where solar cells can be efficiently separated from glass. This is a ‘challenge’ of the total solar panel industry and there are all kinds of developments in the field of reusing or upgrading solar panels, which we follow closely.

We use 90% recycled aluminum in our mounting system.
