The Swiss solar manufacturer Megasol has been producing solar roof tiles for over solar roof tiles for over 10 years. The latest version "Match" offers easy installation, high compatibility, and many design options. Megasol offers one to three standard formats per tile type, which can be combined with each other as required. In this way, the Swiss manufacturer achieves that "Match" is compatible with a very broad range of roof tiles. The solar roof tile from Megasol can be completely freely designed for sophisticated architecture. Megasol offers a wide range of colors and even the possibility to create individual colors. Megasol makes it possible to give the "Match" solar panels an individual look and even a unique feel by means of glass structures. Classic solar glass or interesting glass surfaces such as Creek, Diamond, River, or Wave can be used. This innovation was awarded the international "Red Dot Award" design prize.
