Swiss solar technology sets new standards for aesthetics and performance
Megasol has introduced the M450 solar module, which enables a unique glare reduction with a newly developed matt glass surface. This special surface technology enables use in sensitive areas such as airports or residential neighbourhoods.
Megasol Energie AG, Switzerland’s leading manufacturer of solar panels for roofs and façades, aims to set new standards for glare-reduced, high-performance and aesthetic solar technology with its new M450 solar module, according to a press release.
The 450-watt peak M450 is the first solar module from Megasol to be equipped with ZRM surface technology, which significantly reduces mirror-like reflections thanks to micro-structured glass, special surface treatment and matt optics. The low luminance of the M450, which varies between 3000 and 9000 candela per square metre (cd/m2 – luminance) depending on the angle of incidence of the sun, remains well below international limits of around 20,000 cd/m2, which are prescribed in the vicinity of airports.
With no disturbing glare for pilots, drivers or residents, the module is therefore suitable for use in sensitive areas such as airports or residential neighbourhoods. According to the manufacturer, the solar module also has an above-average product and performance guarantee of 30 years and is certified with hail resistance 5 (HW 5), currently the highest value available in the industry. The M450 module is now available for delivery.
Megasol is a manufacturer of solar modules and system solutions for building-integrated photovoltaics. With its own production facilities in Switzerland and an international presence, Megasol develops solar roof and façade systems.
