Solar roadways concept:
Solar roadways, the name itself clearly understands that the roadways are constructed using solar panels. Its a very innovative idea untill the roads are kept clean as national highways and not to be as street roads. The concept of solar roadways is the road is covered with glass textured surface embedded inside with solar cells to generate electicity. And it is even shows safety warnings through integrated LED's. Now a days everything can be used by solar energy, but its a great idea to be that roads also constructed using the solar panels.
The company's nascent success isn't without its detractors. Also, Solar Roadways lost out on funding from major tech investors like google, and GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher says that we should be focusing on putting solar on rooftops before roads, anyway. Time will tell.
They claim it can withstand 250,000-pounds of weight. The fully solar road is still a plan for the future, though. The company hopes to start small with parking lots, driveways and sidewalks. The business has already received grants of $100,000 and $75,000 from the Department of Transportation to prove the concept. If the project is succeeded it will surely help us in future. Thank you.
