Smart Solar PV Sound Barriers

Solar PV noise barriers (PVNB) offer solutions to a multitude of issues that face communities and State Departments of Transportation. The PV modules serve a dual purpose as both a noise barrier and power generation facility, with the following suite of benefits:

PV Noise Barriers are privately funded – they will be built without using state funds, allowing more noise barriers to be built wherever they are needed without impacting state budgets
The energy produced by PV Noise Barriers can be sold at a discount to either DOTs or to communities at a reduced rate, saving taxpayers more money
The benefits are not just financial – the environmental benefits of producing clean, renewable energy will help local and state governments achieve carbon reduction targets at no cost to taxpayers
