Paving roads with solar panels.

Solar roadways sr is a modular system of specially engineered solar panels that can be walked and driven upon.

The idaho couple that created an innovative road surface made of solar panels is back with a prototype and they re looking to indiegogo for additional funding. Clean energy production according to scott brusaw we could generate more than three times the energy the u s.

Are covered to solar roadways then that would generate three 3x the amount of energy that we currently use. They contain heating elements to prevent snow and ice accumulation.

There are also very many health benefits to these panels. This is a disadvantage primarily because the solar panel may overheat which in turn may lead to energy efficiency loss.

The company also uses as much recycled materials as possible in their production. Tests provide disappointing results. It would save a lot of money roads would essentially pay for their own construction and maintenance by generating.
