Solar Roadways: The Prototype (video)
(3 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Loading...The Solar Roadways project is working to pave roads with solar panels that you can drive on. In addition to collecting and storing solar energy, these Solar Roadways will deliver the electricity directly to your home. These Solar Roadways would replace asphalt roads, significantly reduce pollution, reduce fossil fuel electricity, and create a new electricity network in roads that would replace overhead electricity lines. What’s not to like?
In 2009, Solar Roadways received a contract from the Federal Highway Administration to build the first ever Solar Road Panel prototype. This year, Solar Roadways has entered GE’s Ecomagination Challenge: a $200 million innovation experiment where businesses, entrepreneurs, innovators and students share their best ideas on how to build the next-generation power grid – and just might get funded. Watch this video and visit the Solar Roadways website to show your support.
