Installation Matters: Exploring the Versatility of installation
Blog Summary
When architects and developers evaluate a solar facade, the conversation usually starts with color, finish, and wattage. But the installation system, the structural and electrical framework that actually attaches modules to the building, often determines whether a project is feasible at all.
Designing for the System Behind the Surface
Every Cladify solar facade module is engineered to function as part of a complete wall assembly, not a standalone panel bolted onto an existing structure. Whether a building requires a unitized system, a standard rainscreen application, or an entire prefabricated assembly, Cladify installation solutions turn individual modules into a continuous, weather-tight building envelope.
CladiShield: The Rainscreen Foundation
CladiShield is Cladify's ventilated rainscreen system, and the most widely used installation approach across Cladify projects. Electrical connections run concealed behind each module, so the wiring never interrupts the finished facade.
- eFacade LITE: 3.9 in (101 mm) system thickness
- eFacade PRO: 1.5 in to 2.32 in (39 mm to 59 mm)
- eFacade PRO+: 1.42 in to 4.33 in (36 mm to 110 mm)
Built to Last, Regardless of System
Whichever installation system a project uses, the underlying performance standard doesn't change. All three systems are engineered to meet the same fire, structural, and durability requirements.
