Not just noise reduction, but also power generation.
Traditional sound barriers have a single function. This time, Shen Hua Company has launched an “integrated photovoltaic sound barrier” that, with intelligent algorithms at its core, achieves breakthroughs in both structural design and system integration. The product innovatively integrates photovoltaic power generation modules with highly efficient sound-absorbing and sound-isolating structures, delivering exceptional noise reduction performance while continuously generating clean electricity—truly achieving the dual benefits of “noise reduction + power generation” and driving the industry from “passive management” toward “value creation”!
Scientific data speaks for itself!
The demonstration project is located along the southern perimeter wall of the converter station. It features a single-sided photovoltaic sound barrier with a total length of 538 meters and a height of 1 meter. The side facing outward from the station is equipped with photovoltaic power generation units, while the side facing inward features a sound-absorbing and sound-isolating structure. The total installed capacity of the photovoltaic system reaches 107 kWp, making it akin to a “soundproof wall that generates electricity.”
✅ Over the 25-year operational period: Average annual power generation is approximately 85,000 kWh.
Total power generation is expected to be 2.133 million kWh.
Annual savings of 36.5 tons of standard coal
Average annual reduction of carbon dioxide emissions: 70.3 tons
The payback period is only about 6.3 years.
These data clearly show that noise control is no longer merely a “pure expenditure”—it has become a “green asset” with economic returns.
Honorary certification—innovation lives up to expectations.
Thanks to its forward-looking nature and high value, this innovative technology has successfully won the Excellence Award in the High-Value Patent Operation Competition along the Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt. Meanwhile, the technology has been approved as a science and technology R&D platform in Putuo District, Shanghai, and has been included in both the China Energy Engineering Corporation’s standard-setting plan and the CETC Engineering Technology Research Project. Its technological advancement and industry influence have received unanimous recognition from authoritative institutions.
Wide range of applications, promising market prospects.
This product has a wide range of applications and can be extensively used in the following areas in the future: Urban Transportation: highways, railways Industrial Scenarios: power plants, converter stations, substations Public Facilities: venues, industrial parks, buildings It provides “one-stop” innovative solutions for various scenarios with demands for noise reduction and green electricity.
Lead the industry with technology, and safeguard the future through innovation.
Shenhua Company has seamlessly integrated photovoltaic power generation with noise control, not only enhancing its environmental friendliness but also generating significant economic benefits. This approach has opened up a brand-new pathway for the green upgrading of infrastructure and holds profound significance for promoting the sustainable development of the industry! The company will continue to uphold the philosophy of “technology-driven and excellence in quality,” turning more scientific and technological achievements into tangible value, and continuously contributing “Shenhua’s wisdom” and “Shenhua’s strength” to building a better environment that is quieter and lower-carbon!
What are the advantages of integrated photovoltaic sound barriers?
Efficiently utilize space
The integrated photovoltaic sound barrier combines noise reduction and photovoltaic power generation functions in one unit, making full use of spaces along railway lines and around the walls of industrial enterprises, thereby effectively alleviating urban land-use pressures.
Provide green energy
The integrated photovoltaic sound barrier converts solar energy into electricity, and its bifacial power generation technology further enhances the efficiency of electricity generation. While reducing noise, it also provides green energy that can be used for facilities such as streetlights and charging stations, enabling the implementation of a “photovoltaic-storage-direct-flexible-sound” system. Additionally, the system can be connected to the power grid for electricity sales.
Effective sound absorption, sound isolation, and noise reduction
Integrated photovoltaic sound barriers can effectively absorb, block, and reduce noise. Compared to solutions that use photovoltaics directly as sound barriers, they can significantly reduce reverberant noise within enclosed spaces (such as traffic-induced full-shade sound barriers). They can also minimize reflected sound in typical environmental settings.
Modular and personalized
The integrated photovoltaic sound barrier adopts a modular design, and on-site installation can be carried out using a “Lego-like” assembly approach. It offers personalized customization services tailored to specific application scenarios, and can be adapted to match the color and pattern of various photovoltaic products.
Beautify the urban environment
The integrated photovoltaic sound barrier features low-glare performance. While reducing glare effects, it can seamlessly blend with surrounding architectural and landscape elements, adding a touch of beauty and artistic flair to the urban environment.
How is the product's performance?
After testing by a domestic authoritative testing agency, the acoustic performance of the integrated photovoltaic sound barrier produced by Shen Hua Company has reached... Domestic advanced level The sound insulation performance of photovoltaic sound barriers is 5 to 6 decibels higher than that of conventional sound barriers. The double-sided power-generating photovoltaic sound barrier modules exhibit a low-frequency noise reduction effect that is more than 50% better than conventional sound barriers, demonstrating exceptionally excellent low-frequency sound absorption characteristics. The single-sided power-generating photovoltaic sound barrier modules can achieve a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.85 or higher.
