Megasol wants to bring scaled solar roofs to Europe’s rooftops
Megasol is massively expanding the export of its shingled solar roof to Europe. Thanks to new capacities in production, waiting times for the system are eliminated. The system covers the entire roof, does not require a frame and can be installed quickly. Even large hailstones do not damage it.
Megasol wants to benefit from the current strong demand for solar energy in Europe. The Deitingen-based manufacturer is relying on its Level in-roof system. Especially in Germany, Level is very popular, Michael Reist, head of communications, is quoted as saying in a press release. “Every building owner also asks their roofing partner for a solar system when renovating their roof or building a new one – thanks to Level, roofers and carpenters have the right answer to the requests.”
The Level solar roof is shingled, the solar modules do not need frames. The roof system can be adapted to all roofs so that the entire roof area can be used for the production of electricity. Thanks to the fastening hooks and short sealing rails, it can be installed quickly. The solar modules themselves have hail protection class 5; even 5-centimetre hailstones do not damage them.
Megasol is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of solar modules and mounting systems. Founded in 1993 by Markus Gisler, the company specialises in the customised mass production of building-integrated photovoltaics. Megasol develops and produces in Deitingen and has another site in Ningbo, China. 2022 French building materials manufacturer Saint-Gobain entered into a partnership with Megasol and took a minority stake. In April, it won the 2023 Export Award from Switzerland Global Enterprise.
Megasol will also be present at Intersolar, which will take place in Munich from 14 to 16 June.
