SoliTek's Solar Barriers on Lithuania's Transport Routes

SoliTek, in collaboration with construction partner Stalcorp, is excited to announce the launch of two pioneering photovoltaic noise barrier projects in Lithuania. These initiatives are among the first in the country and all the Baltic states to integrate solar power generation with infrastructure noise mitigation, aligning with the goals of the recently unveiled European Solar Charter.

Strategic Partnerships to Reinforce Renewable Infrastructure

The first of these innovative projects, conducted alongside the Lithuanian public rail infrastructure manager LTG Infra, features the installation of SoliTek’s Solid Bifacial 370W solar modules within a noise-reducing barrier along the railway in the Vilnius region. This setup, which includes at least 60 solar modules over a 70-meter stretch, is expected to generate at least 13.2 MWh of electricity annually.

The second project, in partnership with the Lithuanian Road Administration Via Lithuania, will implement similar technology along the E85 European motorway that links Kaunas and Vilnius. This installation aims to produce at least 15 MWh of electricity per year, utilizing 56 bifacial solar modules. Both projects are strategically designed to maximize solar efficiency while significantly reducing noise pollution.

European Solar Charter: Committing to Sustainable Growth

These projects are a direct response to the European Solar Charter, introduced by the European Commission to foster the development of the photovoltaic manufacturing sector within Europe. The charter encourages the integration of solar energy solutions into buildings, infrastructure, and vehicles, reducing regulatory barriers and promoting high-quality, sustainable PV products. By aligning with the charter, SoliTek and Stalcorp are not only contributing to a more sustainable Europe but are also paving the way for innovative forms of solar deployment that enhance EU competitiveness and diversify energy sources.

Dual Benefits and Global Impact

SoliTek's photovoltaic noise barrier projects highlight the dual benefits of their innovative approach: combating noise pollution and enhancing green energy production. By transforming traditional infrastructures into multifunctional assets, these barriers provide substantial environmental benefits and set a new standard in renewable infrastructure projects.
