What does ZRM+ stand for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

ZRM+ stands for ZeroReflect Matt+ \u2013 a microscopically textured glass surface that diffuses light rays rather than reflecting them back in a concentrated beam. The relevance of this technology is evident in the approval process: whilst conventional solar glass often requires glare assessments, Megasol provides a certificate from the Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) for its ZRM+ product lines. The BFH independently tested the technology in 2025 and confirmed its \u2018very low-glare\u2019 properties. Luminance levels range from 3,000 to 18,000 cd\/m\u00b2 across all practical angles of incidence \u2013 well below the recognised guideline value of 20,000 cd\/m\u00b2. All measured values, the BFH methodology and background information on the topic of glare: ZRM+ technology page<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1779428912761{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n

Glare and performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The matt glass structure makes ZRM+ the first choice where reflections are a nuisance: in densely populated residential areas, along transport routes or near airports. At the same time, it creates a velvety, homogeneous appearance that makes the cell structure recede into the background. The most common objection to matt surfaces: does it reduce yield? No \u2013 efficiency is only minimally affected compared to conventional solar glass.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1779438125756{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n

M460 ZRM+ high-performance module<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For rooftop installations, Megasol offers the M460 ZRM+<\/a>. This framed, all-black module delivers 460 Wp and is primarily designed for projects in sensitive areas such as residential neighbourhoods or near airports. The BFH report generally eliminates the need for costly, project-specific glare assessments.<\/p>\n

Transition rails to other roof coverings, snow guards, single anchor points, lightning protection hooks, verge rails and VELUX compatibility make LEVEL Up the complete solution for any roof.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1779438163721{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #ffeadb !important;}\"]Tip for installers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Does blendtool.ch<\/a> indicate a critical glare duration? The M460 ZRM+ provides the technical assurance of legally compliant operation \u2013 you can use the BFH report directly in the licensing process.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1779430464598{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

ZRM+ makes solar possible where others give up: whether it\u2019s strict planning regulations, safety concerns or critical neighbours \u2013 our technology solves real planning problems without compromising on performance or aesthetics. With the Megasol M460 ZRM+ for rooftop installations and the Megasol LEVEL Up ZRM+ as a building-integrated solution, we offer two sophisticated systems that make photovoltaics feasible even in sensitive areas. Our experts will be happy to advise you on implementation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/6\" css=\".vc_custom_1729760843775{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=\"50px\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
