Our highlights of 2025: Working together for a bright future

At the Millerntor Stadium in Hamburg, we made a highly visible statement in 2025 together with Lichtblick and FC St. Pauli. The north stand of FC St. Pauli was equipped with PV modules in rainbow colours that are unique worldwide. Thanks to Morpho technology, these modules combine brilliant colour intensity with high energy efficiency.

This is the first time that a socially committed club such as FC St. Pauli has been able to demonstrate its values with the help of a photovoltaic system. This makes the modules ambassadors for sustainability and social values in one, and we are proud to have made this vision a reality.

UPS for Ukraine

Instead of traditional Christmas gifts, we decided to donate ten solar-powered UPS systems to Ukraine in close cooperation with the Swiss Red Cross.

This commitment clearly demonstrates that photovoltaics has the potential to positively influence the world. Today, these emergency power systems deliver energy exactly where it is most urgently needed, for example in hospitals and schools.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our customers and partners who, by ‘forgoing’ a gift, have made this important contribution to resilience and hope possible.

HORTUS in Allschwil

In Allschwil, Herzog & de Meuron and Senn have demonstrated what is possible in modern construction with the HORTUS project. In around 30 years, HORTUS will be the world's first climate-positive office building. We supplied the special modules optimised for sustainability and the LEVEL Up substructure for this pioneering project. The modules installed by Planeco GmbH produce four times as much electricity as the building consumes per year, meaning they pay for themselves in less than a year.

The seamless integration into the building envelope shows that BIPV has the potential to combine radical sustainability with sophisticated architecture.

Comparison of glare between a standard solar module and the high-performance M450 module

With the launch of the M450 module, we are setting a new standard for glare-free photovoltaics. Thanks to the special ZRM+ surface technology, the module is completely glare-free, as proven by independent testing. Unlike conventional matt finishes or matt films, which have a negative impact on efficiency, our module impresses with 450 Wp.

The M450 module is the ideal solution for areas where reflections have previously been an obstacle – such as near transport routes, airports or in densely built-up residential areas.

Our work in the field of integrated photovoltaics as an interface between design and technology received multiple accolades in 2025. In addition to several specialist awards for solar construction (e.g. the PEB Solar Prize for the MFH Thalwil), some of our BIPV systems were also nominated (and awarded) for architecture prizes last year. These included the HORTUS in Allschwil, which has already been described, and Bern 131, which was designed with Megasol special modules. The building in the north of Bern is both SNBS Gold certified and a finalist for the Prix SVC Espace Mittelland.

These awards confirm our vision: photovoltaics is no longer just a technical component, but an essential element of modern architecture.
