This makes LEVEL Up the first fully integrated solar roof system with certified glare-free performance: at no extra cost and without compromise.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/6\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row background_type=\"\" css=\".vc_custom_1787050552878{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}\"][vc_column][vc_single_image image=\"75655\" img_size=\"full\" image_hover=\"\"][vc_column_text]Left: Previous version of the LEVEL Up module with standard glass.

The market demands glare-free lighting \u2013 Megasol delivers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since the launch of LEVEL Up<\/a> in November 2025 \u2013 shortly after the launch of ZRM+ in the M450 rooftop module \u2013 Megasol has received an exceptionally high number of enquiries, all expressing a clear wish: in-roof modules should also be available as standard in a non-glare version. Glare-free surfaces are a crucial factor, particularly for projects in densely populated residential areas, near transport routes, or for installations requiring planning permission in sensitive zones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Megasol took this call from the market seriously and acted decisively: rather than offering an optional variant, the ZRM+ technology<\/a> was immediately made the new standard. With immediate effect, all LEVEL Up modules will be supplied exclusively with a ZRM+ surface.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1787119148614{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n

How ZRM+ impresses without dazzling<\/strong><\/h2>\n

ZRM+ stands for \u2018Zero Reflect Matt+\u2019 and is a microstructured glass surface developed by Megasol that virtually eliminates distracting glare. Whilst conventional solar glass produces intense reflections at unfavourable sun angles, the luminance of ZRM+ remains at a consistently low level of around 3,000\u201318,000 cd\/m\u00b2<\/strong> even with steeply incident sunlight \u2013 comparable to clay tiles. Even at extreme angles of incidence of 70\u00b0, the modules remain well below the critical threshold of 50,000 cd\/m\u00b2, at approximately 29,000 cd\/m\u00b2.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its effectiveness has been independently verified: the glare assessment report from Bern University of Applied Sciences<\/strong> confirms that the legally relevant limit values of 20,000 cd\/m\u00b2 are significantly undercut at every measured solar angle. The ZRM+ surface therefore remains outside the critical glare range at any position of the sun.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Until now, there has been no full-surface integrated solar roof system on the market that offers this glare-free performance as standard and as part of the system \u2013 i.e. including the mounting system, rails and accessories. LEVEL Up with ZRM+ is the first of its kind.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1787062266285{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n

A perfect blend of aesthetics and function<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The ZRM+ finish gives the LEVEL Up<\/a> modules an elegant, deep-matt appearance that allows the technical structure of the solar cells to recede into the background. The glass has a velvety, uniform appearance \u2013 a clear advantage for architecturally sophisticated roof surfaces and fa\u00e7ades.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LEVEL Up combines this visual quality with the system\u2019s well-known technical strengths: frameless glass-on-glass modules, an efficiency of over 200 Wp\/m\u00b2, hail resistance class 5 and rain tightness in accordance with CEN\/TR 15601. Full-surface installation creates a uniform roof surface that stylishly replaces traditional roofing materials such as tiles or slate.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1787047182624{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n

A benefit for everyone involved<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The standard integration of ZRM+ not only simplifies project planning considerably \u2013 it also opens up new possibilities:<\/p>\n
