Merck Darmstadt OPV – Empowering Tomorrow

Location: Darmstadt, Germany
Completion Date: April 2019
Architect: HENN Architects
Engineer: LEICHT Structural Engineering & Specialist Consulting GmbH
Fabric Type: ETFE Film (Single Layer, Printed, with Integrated PV Elements)
Project Size: 265 sqm (≈ 2,850 sq.ft.)
Market Sector: Institutional / Facades

Taiyo Europe successfully completed the Merck Darmstadt OPV façade project in March 2019, delivering a striking and technologically advanced architectural solution that reflects Merck’s innovative spirit.
The scope of work included steelworks and the installation of a single-layer ETFE system, printed and equipped with photovoltaic (PV) modules.

By integrating OPV (Organic Photovoltaic) modules directly into Taiyo’s color-printed, translucent ETFE films, the design team achieved both aesthetic brilliance and functional sustainability. The resulting façade stands as a trendsetting showcase of innovation, harmonizing art, architecture, and renewable energy.

Architectural Highlights

ETFE single-layer system with customized printing for light control and visual identity
Integrated OPV modules enabling energy generation through the façade
Lightweight steel structure supporting the flexible and transparent ETFE membrane
