Solar Roads: Can Streets Become Giant Solar Panels?


The sun's rays can hit some roads for up to 90 percent of the daylight hours, so companies in Europe and the U.S. are experimenting with building solar panels along or above roads. But are such projects worth the cost? In France one company is hoping to distinguish itself—and reduce costs—with solar panels that are laid directly on the pavement.

So the solar roadways has a page up to 'answer' its critics.

Previously I had suspected that they have no technical expertise, now Im sure.

They claim that asphalt is softer than glass.
They claim LEDs will be fine for roads because of powerhungry LED billboards or LED traffic lights that work in the shade.

People gave them over 2 million dollars for this. You really have to laugh or cry at this.

The words failure of epic proportion are thrown around a lot these days..... however Solar Roadways grand unveiling may have just raised the bar on what that actually means.

We were promised roads that would generate power, be computer controlled, modular, replaceable, with programmable lights that would function as road markings that would be visible during the day.

What was delivered was a 'road' that couldnt be driven
DIDNT GENERATE ANY POWER
had LED lights on that just cycled
LED that were not visible even when the STREET LIGHTS WERE STILL ON, let alone in full daylight!
and of course 75% of them died within a week of instillation.

You too can now watch the brilliance of the REALITY of solar freakin roadways live!

You would have thought such a failure to achieve anything would have dampened their bold claims.... but not at all, they are now claiming the road will recharge your electric car while you are actually driving......sigh.... and they STILL get wall to wall favorable media coverage!

France Solar Roads Could Power 8% of Country










The French government has announced plans to install solar panels on 621 miles of road over the next five years as part of the “Positive Energy” initiative. The goal of the project is to supply electricity to 5 million people, or about 8 percent of the country. The “Wattway” photovoltaic solar panels that will be used in the project were jointly developed by the French road construction company Colas and the National Institute for Solar Energy and were unveiled last October. We look at the major step forward for green energy on the Lip News with Jo Ankier and Elliot Hill.

France Normandy: officially the first country in the world to have a solar road.

Despite the doubts and criticisms, France has today inaugurated the first solar road in Normandy, within a route RD5 of the small town Tourouvre-au-Perche, which is covered by 2,800 square meters of solar panels. After five years of development and a budget of 5 million euros, France is opening the first kilometer of its solar road equipped with Wattway panels. These panels have a special design that will allow them to withstand the load of more than 2,000 vehicles daily, including the load.

Under a project of the company 'Colas', which belongs to the huge telecommunications group Bouygues financed by the state, the solar panels have been coated with a resin made of thin sheets of silicon, which makes them bear the weight of vehicles, But in turn does not affect efficiency at the time of capturing the sunlight. This road is part of a pilot test that will keep it operational for a period of two years, where it is estimated that it will be able to provide electricity to the public street lighting of the town, which has about 3,400 inhabitants. At the end of this test, the project will be studied thoroughly to see if it is feasible to install panels in new ways. To date, the energy minister's goal is to have 1,000 kilometers of solar roads at the beginning of the next decade.

However, criticism of the project has not been expected, where it is mentioned that it would have been more economical to install these panels in other areas, because being in a flat position does not take full advantage of the energy of the sun as if they were angled. Besides that the coating to protect them increases its price is formed considerable. And to make matters worse, there is no justification for having installed it in Normandy, which only has 44 days of intense sunshine a year, because the ideal would have been Marseille, which has 170 days a year. Add to this the doubts about the traction and friction that can offer this project so that the cars do not skate, in addition to which part of the project will be financed thanks to an increase in the gasolines in 2017, reason why much of the country does not Is very happy.

Netherlands rolls out 'solar road'
Published on Dec 13, 2014
Solar power is the world's fastest growing source of renewable energy.The panels that harness the power of the sun and convert it are usually perched on rooftops.But a town in the Netherlands has found a way to build its energy supply into the ground.Al 

PARIS — France has announced energy plans to pave 1,000 kilometers of road with solar panels.

The country's Energy Minister Segolene Royal said last month she expects tests to begin in the spring, according to Global Construction Review.

The panels are made by Colas, a subsidiary of French industrial giant Bouygues, and took five years to develop. The 7-millimeter-thick Wattway solar panels contain photovoltaic cells, which collect solar energy through a thin layer of polycrystalline silicon.

The panels will be glued to existing road surfaces and can withstand the passage of heavy goods vehicles, according to the manufacturers.
Road surfaces are occupied by vehicles only around 10 percent of the time, so the panels will get plenty of exposure to the sun, according to the Wattway by Colas official website.

Some 4 meters of solarized road can power one household, and 1 kilometers can produce enough electricity for a town of 5,000 people, according to Colas.

If it reaches its maximum potential, the plan could provide electricity for 5 million people, or about 8 percent of France's population, Royal said, according to Global Construction Review.

The cost of the project is unknown, but the French government has suggested it could pay for it by raising taxes on petrol, Global Construction Review reported.

Last year, the world's first road to convert sunlight into electricity opened on a 100-meter stretch of carriageway in the Netherlands.

Silicon Valley startup Ubiquitous Energy is making the world’s first transparent solar cells, a technology that could greatly expand the reach of solar power. Their technology is an invisible film that can go on any surface and generate power, which could lead to cell phones and tablets that never run out of batteries — or skyscrapers that can use their massive banks of windows as solar panels.

Australian scientists from the University of NSW have set a new world record for the efficiency of commercially-viable solar cells.

Dr Graham Phillips investigates new technology that is able to convert more than 40 per cent of the sun's light into electricity. This is more than double the efficiency of today's domestic rooftop solar panels, and could eventually lead to chea
