The problem
Glare effect from solar modules
The glare caused by solar modules is a frequent obstacle to the realisation of PV systems. Particularly on house roofs, glare problems are usually only identified once the solar installation has already been realised. However, with the increasing spread of PV systems, it is to be expected that glare problems will occur more and more frequently. In densely populated neighbourhoods, next to roads and at airports, glare-free solar modules enable the sustainable and successful implementation of PV projects.
Background
When do solar modules start to cause glare?
The level of irradiated luminance from which a surface is perceived as causing glare generally depends on individual perception. Nevertheless, it is important to define uniform limit values for when a surface is considered “low glare”. The expert Prof. Christof Bucher made a proposal on this at the Solar Update 2024 in Bern (Switzerland).
According to his proposal, solar modules with our coatings are considered low-glare!

The solution
The XRF anti-glare film
Introducing the XRF Anti-Blend Film, Phytonics is now launching an extremely low-glare surface for solar modules. The adhesive film can be easily applied to the glass surface of the solar module.
Solar modules equipped with the XRF Anti-Glare Film offer optimal protection against glare – even under the most unfavorable conditions! Even at extremely low angles of incidence of up to 70°, the reflected luminance remains well below a value of 75,000 cd/m². This makes the XRF Anti-Glare Film far superior to other glare-reducing products.
XRF Anti-Glare Film consists of an extremely UV- and weather-resistant adhesive film with a micro-textured and scratch-resistant surface coating. This robust construction guarantees long-term durability and optimal performance even under the harshest conditions.

Customer testimonials
Successful projects from
customer perspective
"With its glare-free foil, Phytonics has prevented disputes with neighbors and played a crucial role in saving good neighborly relations. Phytonics is the right address for anyone affected by glare issues with PV installations. Full recommendation in this problem- and emotion-loaded glare issue!"
Mr Mauderer Customer
"We discussed the installation of our PV system with our neighbors in advance. None of us had even thought for a moment about problems caused by glare, although looking back it was fairly obvious. The shock was great when we realized how bad the glare was for our neighbors. Our solar company couldn't solve the problem. The Phytonics film was the lifesaver for our good neighborly relationship. We are very happy with the result."
Mr Thom Customer
„The XRF Anti-Blend foil was installed and more than meets expectations. Since the film was applied, the east side of our house with 26 modules is glare-free and the neighbourhood dispute has been settled in a day.“
G. Loick Client
"The solar modules on the north side of our neighbour's roof blinded us directly in our living room for months and prevented us from enjoying the beautiful view - Phytonics' coating completely solved the problem."
Mrs Georgi Neighbour
"We have already been in court with our neighbour because of the glare – thanks to Phytonics' anti-reflective coating, we can now continue to generate solar power on our roof."
Professor G. Stock Client
"As an energy transition enthusiast, I have equipped both sides of my roof with solar panels. Unfortunately, I did not initially consider that glare could disturb my neighbours. Fortunately, Phytonics solved the problem and peace has been restored."
Mr P. Schu Client
"The reflections from our neighbour's solar panels were a major inconvenience for us, as we constantly had to draw the curtains and close the blinds. Admittedly, I was sceptical as to whether a coating would solve the problem – the reflections are no longer visible and we can enjoy the view undisturbed again, the anti-glare effect is truly perfect."
Professor H. Burkhardt neighbour
“With the anti-glare film from Phytonics there is no more trouble with neighbors because of immissions, glare or light reflections which can disturb everywhere!”

Markus Pirkner Customer
“If you want to see for yourself: in Benzenschwil, Switzerland, 2 prototypes were in rough weather use for 1.5 years and since July 10, 2024, 55 solar panels have been glare-free. We are happy to welcome visitors. We also provide neutral and practical advice.”
Markus Ursprung SynergiePlus (CH)
"The solar panels on the north-facing side of our neighbour's roof were blinding us directly in our living room for months and prevented us from enjoying the beautiful view - the problem was completely solved by the Phytonics coating."

"We were already in court with our neighbour because of the glare - thanks to the anti-glare coating from Phytonics, we can now continue to generate solar power on our roof."
Herr Professor G. Stock Customer
"As an energy transition enthusiast, I fitted both sides of the roof with solar modules. Unfortunately, I didn't initially consider that glare could disturb my neighbours. Fortunately, Phytonics solved the problem and peace has been restored."
