Mitrex, a global leader in Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and solar facade systems, has partnered with Domino’s Pizza and Renu Energy to power the world’s first solar-powered Domino’s restaurant, located in Clover, South Carolina. This project marks a major milestone in sustainable commercial architecture, setting a new benchmark for energy-conscious design in the quick-service restaurant industry.
Mitrex Solar Install Transforms Clover, SC Domino’s with Wood-Grain BIPV Panels
Clover, SC – At the heart of the project are Mitrex’s custom-engineered BIPV panels with a wood grain finish, seamlessly integrating solar energy generation into the building’s exterior facade. These panels turn the structure itself into a functional energy asset, generating renewable energy while preserving the building’s architectural integrity. The result is a significant reduction in energy consumption and carbon emissions, setting a new standard for how quick-service restaurants can embrace clean energy without sacrificing aesthetics.
Solar-Powered Domino’s Showcases Real-World Potential of Mitrex Solar Install
More than just a restaurant, this solar-powered Domino’s demonstrates the real-world potential of solar construction materials in commercial applications. The Clover location features integrated solar facade panels mimicking a wood grain finish, as well as rooftop solar panels and EV charging stations. By embracing sustainability and being a pioneer in the industry, Domino’s has set a precedent for future commercial storefronts, showing how solar building skins and BIPV technology can reduce operational costs and carbon footprints.
“Lowest Carbon Emitting Domino’s in the World”
“We might be the lowest carbon emitting Domino’s in the world because the only thing producing carbon emissions is our propane ovens,” said Ryan Swanson, Vice President of marketing and restaurant development.
Renu Energy Ensures Seamless Execution of Mitrex Solar Install
Renu Energy played a crucial role in executing the solar infrastructure, ensuring that all renewable energy systems were efficiently integrated. Their expertise in commercial solar solutions helped optimize energy generation and system performance, supporting the restaurant’s goal of significantly reducing its environmental footprint and moving closer to net-zero energy benchmarks.
Collaboration Between Mitrex, Renu, and Domino’s Sets New Standard for Green Architecture
Mitrex, Renu Energy, and Domino’s are proud to showcase this first-of-its-kind collaboration in sustainable commercial architecture. The success of this project paves the way for future developments, proving that integrating solar energy facades into commercial buildings can deliver lasting environmental impact and economic value.
