ABOUT US
Ko-Solar is a leading developer of transportation-based solar energy systems, pioneering transportation-integrated renewable energy solutions for active transportation corridors. Our mission is to transform transportation infrastructure—including highways, railways, airports, and other transportation rights-of-way—into clean energy assets by integrating advanced photovoltaic (PV) solar energy technologies directly into existing and new infrastructure without requiring additional land acquisition or right-of-way expansion. Ko-Solar specializes in designing, developing, financing, and integrating transportation-based solar energy systems that enable owners and operators of transportation infrastructure to generate renewable energy from existing transportation assets.
Our flagship Solar Energy Noise Barrier System is an advanced solar noise barrier and solar sound barrier solution that integrates photovoltaic technology directly into transportation infrastructure. Designed for highways, railways, airports, and other transportation corridors, Ko-Solar’s solar noise barriers generate renewable electricity while reducing traffic noise, improving roadway safety, increasing energy resilience, lowering operating costs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and creating new revenue opportunities for transportation agencies and infrastructure owners.
Ko-Solar’s solar noise barriers are designed as multifunctional infrastructure, combining noise mitigation, renewable energy generation, and transportation safety into a single integrated solution.
Unlike conventional solar installations that compete for valuable land, Ko-Solar’s transportation-based solar energy systems maximize the untapped potential of active transportation corridors by converting existing infrastructure into revenue-generating renewable energy assets. This innovative approach enables transportation agencies to advance sustainability goals while enhancing the long-term value, functionality, and resilience of critical infrastructure.
Our modular Solar Energy Noise Barrier System (solar-integrated barriers) and solar noise barriers are engineered to meet rigorous transportation safety, structural, operational, and maintenance requirements while delivering measurable environmental and community benefits. Systems can operate in grid-connected, limited-export, or fully off-grid (islanded) configurations and seamlessly integrate battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, intelligent energy management, and future smart transportation technologies.
At Ko-Solar, we believe transportation infrastructure should do more than move people and goods—it should generate clean energy, strengthen grid resilience, improve transportation sustainability, reduce environmental impacts, and create lasting economic value. By pioneering transportation-based solar energy systems and next-generation solar noise barriers, Ko-Solar is redefining how transportation infrastructure generates renewable energy while improving safety, sustainability, and resilience for communities across the United States and around the world.
Smart infrastructure. Clean power. Lower noise levels. A brighter future. 🌿
