American highways are lined with approximately 3,000 miles of noise barriers. Functioning to reduce noise pollution by diverting sound waves back to where they came from, these noise barriers also contribute to the reduction of air pollution by restricting the spread of harmful fumes. Though these barriers protect neighborhoods from excessive noise, they also provide useful space for solar energy production. It is estimated the barriers could produce around 400 GW of power every year.
The use double-sided solar cells that increase the chances of performing well in any position is an innovative development. To make noise barriers suitable for solar power, they need to be correctly aligned to make an efficient use of the sun. The tilt and orientation of the panels is less of an issue when used with double-sided solar cells. And with an east-west alignment, they have the best solar energy potential in their multi-function role.
