On April 16, 2010 Solar Roadways inventor Scott Brusaw presented at the TEDx Sacramento. In this 18-minute video, Scott Brusaw introduces us to his Solar Roadways project, how it works, how it can change our planet, and why we need it. Solar Roadways are the next greatest change in transportation and electricity. Let’s support Scott Brusaw and Solar Roadways in his goal to improve our world.

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.

Dr. Orlin Velev, a chemical and Bio-molecular Engineer at North Carolina State University, has begun developing a bendable devices that are constructed of water-based gel infused together with light-sensitive molecules (like plant chlorophyll), coupled with electrodes coated by carbon elements. These flexible solar cells have the potential to be less expensive and more beneficial to our environment than the present standard silicon based solar cells.
