[서울파이낸스 주진희 기자] Hyundai Energy Solutions, a subsidiary of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group’s solar power sector, is developing various solar solutions one after another and is accelerating the market expansion.
Hyundai Energy Solutions 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 improved the power generation efficiency by more than 30% compared to the existing single-sided type, and the solar module is manufactured as an integrated type that not only generates power but also plays a soundproof role, significantly reducing installation costs.
Along with this, it has also developed a double-sided solar solution for soundproof walls with a 30% improvement in power generation efficiency.
Hyundai Energy Solutions is the leading agency of the national project of “Development of technology for commercialization of double-sided photovoltaic modules (p-type)” and has been carrying out tasks with domestic companies and research institutes since 2018. In May of last year, a total of 85kW of demonstration equipment was installed in the Eumseong plant in Chungbuk, and the recent performance evaluation was successfully completed.
The soundproof tunnels and soundproof walls on the road are attracting attention recently as eco-friendly photovoltaic 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 Are doing.
If this solution is applied to about 19,000 km of highways and general national roads, out of about 110,000 km of total roads in Korea (according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport), it is possible to supply electricity to 3 million households at the same time. The company explained that it is possible to generate electricity.
Earlier, Hyundai Energy Solutions has been conducting a 24MW-class roof-type solar power generation project at Hyundai Motor’s Ulsan plant’s driving test site since last year, and is developing various photovoltaic application solutions such as farming type and integrated building type.
An official at Hyundai Energy Solutions said, “As the importance of climate change issues grows around the world, the related market is expanding,” and “We will develop various solutions through continuous research and development (R&D) investments and accelerate the global renewable energy business order.” Said.
