3 FAQs about Photovoltaic panels installed on the bridge

What is the world's first solar bridge?

The world's first solar bridge is the Kurilpa Footbridge, which was built in 2009 in Brisbane, Australia. Work on the Blackfriars project began in October 2011.. Some 4,400 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels were placed on the new roof of the bridge. It is the largest solar array in London.

What is the Blackfriars solar bridge?

The Blackfriars solar bridge in London is being developed as part of a major upgrade of the Blackfriars railway station. The south bank entrance of the new Blackfriars station in London opened in December 2011. Image courtesy of Network Rail The Blackfriars solar bridge is built across the River Thames in London, UK.

What is a bridge roof made of?

The bridge roof is installed with Sanyo HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer) solar cells, which are formed of thin mono-crystalline silicon wafer and ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers. They do not have any moving parts so are noise free. It is also claimed that the cells are 100% free of emissions.
