Solar Roadways, is a company that won a government competition for a prototype a street glass can generate power using solar panels. (This is not fuck)
The idea is to become sustainable roads at present is paved with asphalt, a petroleum product.
Solar Roadways is working on encapsulating solar panels within the ultra-resistant glass, which has a similar texture to the pavement can withstand the passage of trucks and cars at high speed, is sufficiently transparent to let in sunlight , and can gather energy through panels, has pointed to that can be used in homes and factories.
Brusaw The idea of \u200b\u200binserting further includes LED above the solar panels, which would mark the tracks (could change if there is an accident on a track, for example) and give warnings to drivers, such as speed limits or if something has happened on the road.
The project sounds like the road of the future and is still far from reality, although he is currently seeking funds in the GE Ecomagination Challenge competition.
Prices of building a road system like this could still be very high, although as the necessary elements to develop the idea is that the price fall. Although more expensive than paving with asphalt, the system could become self-financing the production of energy it contains.
