Guinness World Records Recognizes Mark Set By Canadian Solar Panel Facade Maker
Daniel Hadizadeh wants building owners to get a charge out of their properties by adding solar panels as a method of harnessing sunlight to be converted into power.
Hadizadeh founded Mitrex Solar a decade ago to manufacture and install solar cladding panels on facades. Now, approximately 20 structures in Canada, the United States and the Middle East have been outfitted with the preassembled cladding.
āThe sun shines every day, and not being able to harness it started bugging me. So about 10 years ago I started doing research and development, and five years ago we started manufacturing,ā he said in an interview. Adding the panels to new properties increases building costs by roughly 5% to 10%, but in turn, they can help a property owner save up to 30% in energy costs, Hadizadeh added.
Mitrex set a mark recognized by Guinness World Records last month for its installation of the worldās largest solar panel mural on The SunRise apartment complex in downtown Edmonton. The firm said its solar cladding also adorns buildings, including 18 Queen St. in Kingston, Ontario,1451 Wellington in Ottawa, and 1154 Wilson and 587 Avonhead Road in Toronto. The panels have also recently been added to the Taza Marketing Centre, part of the major Taza real estate development west of Calgary.
Guinness, a company that says it’s the “global authority on all things record-breaking,” is widely recognized as a source to track and verify such achievements.
Mitrex’s customers include hospitals, airports and real estate investment trusts, Hadizadeh said.
As with most real estate development, location plays a major role in the business, as not all areas of Canada receive the same amount of sunshine as places such as Iran, where Hadizadeh was born before moving to Canada as a child.
Calgary leads all Canadian cities with 333 sunny days per year, according to weatherstats.ca, while Winnipeg comes in second among large cities with 318 days per year. Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa all get 303 sunny days while Quebec City gets 291 days of sunshine, Vancouver 288 and St. John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador 270, according to weatherstats.ca.
Mitrex said it has, as a result, seen good results in Alberta and Winnipeg, as well as in Halifax and across Ontario. Customers typically include hospitals, airports and larger residential investors.
Hadizadeh said Mitrex Solar has a patent on the installation process and keeps production costs down by creating the panels at its warehouse in Toronto.
