Hyundai Heavy Industries (009540)Hyundai Energy Solutions, a subsidiary of the group’s solar power sector, announced on the 7th that it has developed and commercialized the world’s first double-sided solar power solution for soundproof tunnels.

The double-sided solar solution for soundproof tunnels developed this time has increased power generation efficiency by more than 30% compared to the existing single-sided type. The solar module is characterized by greatly reducing the installation cost as it is made in an integrated type that plays a role of sound insulation as well as power generation.

Along with this, Hyundai Energy Solutions has also developed a double-sided solar solution for soundproof walls with 30% improved power generation efficiency.

Hyundai Energy Solutions, as the leading agency of the national project’Development of technology for commercialization of double-sided photovoltaic modules (p-type)’, has been working with domestic companies and research institutions since 2018. In May of last year, a total of 85kW (kilowatts) of demonstration facilities was installed in the Eumseong plant in Chungbuk, and the performance evaluation was successfully completed.

Soundproof tunnels and soundproof walls on the road are attracting attention recently as eco-friendly solar power generation spaces that do not affect the surrounding natural scenery. In fact, solar power generation facilities are installed in soundproof facilities in some sections of the Yeongdong Expressway and Seoul Dongbu Expressway to generate electricity.

If this solution is applied to about 19,000 km of highways and general national roads where soundproof tunnels and soundproof walls are easy to install among Korea’s total roads of about 110,000 km (according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) 11GW (gigawatt) of power generation is possible.

Hyundai Energy Solution has been Hyundai Motor Company (005380)It is carrying out a 24MW (megawatt) roof-type solar power generation project at the driving test site in the Ulsan plant, and is developing various solar power application solutions such as farming type and integrated building type. In July last year, it completed the solar power smart factory in Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province, and has a solar module production capacity of 1.35GW.

A representative of Hyundai Energy Solutions said, “As the importance of climate change issues grows around the world, the related markets are also expanding,” he said. “We will develop various solutions through continuous investment in R&D to accelerate overseas new and renewable energy business orders.”
