Noise barriers are essential for reducing noise from highways and railway lines. However, traditional noise infrastructure do not generate energy. Custom BIPV modules offer a different approach. They combine noise control with on-site solar energy generation.

The expansion of transportation infrastructure has brought a critical challenge for public health and urban quality of life: noise pollution.

Highways and railway lines often pass through residential areas, hospital zones, or business districts. As a result, they can generate noise levels that affect nearby communities.

While traditional acoustic barriers, such as concrete walls or sandwich panels, help reduce sound transmission, they also have ongoing costs. They generate no energy. In addition, they require resources for maintenance and replacement.

New Challenges, New Solutions for Noise Barriers

Today, infrastructure projects are moving toward multifunctional solutions. BIPV systems can support this development.

By replacing conventional noise barriers with BIPV infrastructure, these structures can serve two functions. They can reduce noise and generate solar power.

At INVITAIC, we specialize in custom BIPV modules for architectural and civil infrastructure. Our BIPV acoustic barriers solutions combine photovoltaic power generation with the functional role of noise barriers.

This technology offers two key benefits:

High-Performance Acoustic Insulation

Thanks to a sandwich configuration, BIPV noise systems can help reduce sound transmission.

The structure can use glass and encapsulation materials. Two sheets of glass can enclose layers of damping polymer material, such as PV cell encapsulant.

This combination supports mechanical strength and acoustic performance. As a result, BIPV noise barriers can integrate into projects near homes, offices, hospitals, and other buildings.

Distributed Solar Energy Generation

BIPV noise wall systems produce electricity on-site. The generated power can support street lighting, signaling, and communication systems.

It can also support other local electrical loads. Depending on the project design, electricity can also be fed into the electrical grid.

As a result, solar noise barriers can turn existing transportation infrastructure into productive energy assets.

At the same time, they can bring solar power generation closer to where electricity is used. This can reduce the need for separate space for solar installations.

Custom BIPV Noise Barriers for Civil Infrastructure

At INVITAIC, we specialize in the custom design and manufacturing of high-quality BIPV modules for civil infrastructure.

Every roadway and railway project has unique technical and architectural requirements. It may also have specific landscape and visual requirements.

Therefore, BIPV noise barriers need to adapt to the project environment.

Our solutions integrate high-quality glass, encapsulants, and solar cells into different designs. These designs can include different levels of transparency, solid colors, geometric patterns, and high-resolution printing.

These elements can support mechanical strength, traffic safety, and visual integration. They also help BIPV noise barriers fit different urban and infrastructure environments.

We partner with architects, urban planners, construction companies, engineers, and road concessionaires.

Together, we support the development of smart and multifunctional infrastructure.

By integrating BIPV technology into noise barriers, projects can address noise control while also generating solar energy.
