Solar Roadways - The Future of Roadways

WHAT IS A SOLAR ROAD?


A photovoltaic solar road is a road surface that generates electricity by collecting solar power with photovoltaics. This is not to be confused with a variant concept of a "solar road" installed in Avenhorn, a village in northern Holland, by Ooms Avenhorn Holding AV, that uses asphalt and tarmac to absorb the sun’s rays. The idea of Solar Roadways Inc's concept is to replace current petroleum-based asphalt roads, parking lots, and driveways with photovoltaic solar road panels that generate renewable energy that may be used by homes and businesses, and with any excess energy perhaps stored in or alongside the road.
Parking lots, driveways, streets and eventually highways are all targets for the panels.

To make you understand what exactly are Solar Roads, take a look at this video below-



The company ran low on capital so from Earth Day (22nd April) to May 31st , they are in the midst of an indegogo crowdsourcing campaign to raise the funds needed to gear up for production of their SOlar Road Panels.

WIth 3 days more to go , the crazy plan to cover the nation's road with solar roads raises $1.5 Million.
