Combine Noise Protection with Renewable Energy
Solar noise barriers combine the functions of an acoustic barrier and a photovoltaic energy system. They are designed to help manage traffic or infrastructure noise while making use of suitable surfaces for solar electricity generation.
The design, acoustic construction, solar orientation, structural requirements and electrical components should be selected according to the specific project conditions.
- Integration of solar modules with a suitable barrier design
- Options for highway and transport infrastructure projects
- Project-specific engineering and configuration
- Consideration of acoustic and electrical requirements
High-Performance Solar Noise Barrier Systems
Traffic noise has been recognized by the World Health Organization as an important factor contributing to the pollution of the environment. In addition to causing discomfort, it has significant negative impacts on health in the populations that live near the road infrastructure.
The sounds emerging from the roads are considered among the most annoying. According to studies carried out, the acceptable level of sound coming from the communication channels during the day is approximately L=50-65 dB, depending on the type of building in the area. The noise level emitted by the existing communication routes should be limited to this range.
PV Noise Barrier System
EnviroSolar™ Noise Barrier developed by Envirotech Systems Limited is a next-generation infrastructure solution that brings together advanced acoustic performance and solar energy generation in a single system.
Designed for modern highways, railways, industrial areas, and urban infrastructure, EnviroSolar™ helps reduce noise pollution while converting available solar exposure into clean, renewable electricity.
Our innovative barrier systems can be engineered and customized to meet specific project requirements, including acoustic performance, structural conditions, aesthetics, and energy-generation objectives.
Photovoltaic Noise Barrier
Photovoltaic Noise Barriers (PVNBs) combine noise reduction and solar power generation in a single infrastructure system. Solar photovoltaic panels are integrated into the noise barrier structure, allowing the barrier to reduce unwanted sound while converting sunlight into electricity.
Working Process:
Noise Reduction
The barrier blocks, absorbs, and diffracts sound generated by highways, railways, metro systems, and industrial equipment.
Solar Energy Capture
Photovoltaic panels installed on the barrier receive sunlight and convert solar energy into DC electricity.
Power Conversion
An inverter converts the generated DC electricity into AC power suitable for use or grid connection.
Electricity Utilization
The generated power can support nearby infrastructure, lighting, monitoring systems, or be supplied to the electrical grid.
Dual-Purpose Infrastructure
The system provides continuous noise mitigation while making productive use of the barrier's available surface area for renewable energy generation.
Benefits of Solar Noise Barrier Systems
Solar Noise Barrier Systems combine effective noise reduction with solar electricity generation, making them an ideal solution for highways, railways, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects.
How Do Solar Noise Barriers Work?
Solar modules generate electricity while the barrier is designed to provide acoustic separation. The electrical configuration depends on the selected modules and project requirements.

FAQ - Solar Noise Barriers
A solar noise barrier is an acoustic barrier system integrated with photovoltaic modules. It is designed to help manage environmental noise while generating electricity from sunlight.
Photovoltaic modules convert sunlight into DC electricity. An appropriately configured inverter can convert that power into AC electricity for compatible loads or a suitable electrical system.
Potential locations include suitable highways, transport corridors and selected industrial or urban infrastructure projects. Feasibility depends on solar exposure, acoustics, structural requirements, safety and applicable regulations.
Output depends on installed PV capacity, orientation, shading, local sunlight, temperature, equipment efficiency, soiling and system losses.
Acoustic performance is evaluated using the selected barrier design, site conditions and applicable measurement or testing methods. Request project-specific test reports and verified performance data from the supplier.
Configuration may be tailored to project dimensions, structural conditions, photovoltaic requirements, access, electrical design and acoustic objectives, subject to engineering review.
Problems
Existing infrastructure faces challenges such as limited land availability, rising energy costs, high electricity consumption, non-revenue-generating assets, sustainability requirements, and dependency on diesel generators. These challenges increase operational costs while limiting opportunities for clean and renewable energy generation.
