Experimental projects of solar roadways have multiplied all over the world: the potentials are endless, but many doubts remain. Think of the miles and miles of roads all over the world, what if these roads could generate energy? As a result, and according to various studies, about 0.2- 0.5 % of the Earth’s surface is covered by roads. This percentage is expected to increase by 60% by 2050. It is an impressive amount of land, simply taken from nature, generating a strongenvironmental impact. But how can this trend be transformed into a positive impact for the environment? Recent technological innovations regarding the latest generation of photovoltaic panels, can now withstand heavy vehicle loading with a hyper-resistant structure. Use of these breakthrough solar panels could transform our traditional asphalt roads into huge power generators.
