Solar Inverter Noise Barrier – Hugh Kuhn, with Solar Advisory Services, contacted Acoustiblok. His customer is the Red Hills Renewable Park, in Parowan, Utah. This solar facility covers 630 acres, and has an electrical generating capacity of 104MW. It is one of the biggest solar power plants in the country. They had a big problem with noise coming from the park.

The facilities inverters are extremely loud and neighbors complained about the noise. The loud inverters convert direct current from the solar panels to alternating current. As such, they are a necessary part of the process and a solution to the noise was necessary.

They tried various way to block the noise, including with large bales of hay, but they were all ineffective. Hugh then contacted Acoustiblok and they recommended their Industrial Acoustifence product. The Acoustifence membrane was easy to attach to a chain-link fence, thanks to the grommeted reinforced edges.

Once installed the complaints stopped and the client was thrilled with the results.
