Solar Barrier
Application:
Motorway barriers and other screening systems offer huge scope for energy generation. This integrated solution maximises the potential of these large areas by incorporating additional functionality to an otherwise passive product. Solar barriers also improve the visual appearance of traditionally unattractive products, capturing energy and improving aesthetics at minimal additional cost.
Features:
• Flexibility – framing system caters for a wide range of barrier configurations
• Scalability – construction and installation techniques offer huge potential to deliver impressive economies of scale
• Non intrusive - generate power from unused sites by motorways and road networks
• Rapid installation - simple clips and rails minimise on site time
• Modular system – easily installed by existing roadside operatives
• Noise reduction – the use of flexible thin film PV aids sound attenuation
• Simple grid connection in areas with existing power networks
• Self cleaning – ‘non stick’ encapsulation materials reduce dirt build up from traffic spray
• Improved aesthetic - photovoltaics offer a more appealing solution than conventional steel and concrete barriers
