Reading

Solar is popping up just about everywhere, even landfills and parka pockets. So why not roads? The
Netherlands built the first solar road, a bike path, in 2014.

France announced a bolder move in January—over the next five years, it plans to install 1,000
kilometers of solar roads, designed to supply power to five million people.

That’s not all. Idaho-based Solar Roadways has received three rounds of U.S. government
funding with an additional $2 million in venture capital to test its technology.

The tempered-glass panels offer asphalt-like traction, support the weight of semi-trucks, include
LEDs for signage, and contain heating elements to melt snow and ice.

Could solar panels really pave the roads of the future? Proponents see endless possibilities, but
others raise questions about cost, efficiency, and durability.

The sheer amount of surfaces each country devotes to roadways is enormous.

Allowing this space to double as a solar farm could have very positive implications in the battle
to put a halt to climate change.

They estimate that their panels, if used in lieu of existing U.S. roads and walkways, could
produce more than three times the electricity used in the United States.

Besides, they say their panels could charge electric vehicles, first on solar parking lots.

With enough solar highways and cars with the right equipment (to pick up energy from induction
plates in the road) they might even be able to charge vehicles while moving.

“Aside from road dust, particularly black tire dust and diesel exhaust, which will quickly cover a
portion of each panel, the continuous traffic covering panels will reduce their solar output,” says
Jacobson, adding they’ll likely suffer more wear and tear and need more repairs than other solar
panels.

Despite high costs, company chairman Peter Harrop says solar roads might work in places that
are putting down roads for the first time. “They need early technology adopters like China that
want to leapfrog in development.”
