Given the amount of road surface available worldwide, the potential for energy generation is enormous. Solar roads offer the benefit of dual-use infrastructure by combining power generation with transportation, making efficient use of space—particularly valuable in urban areas where room for traditional solar farms is limited.
Widespread adoption of solar roads could promote energy independence, reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels. The distributed power generation offered by solar roads could enhance grid resilience, making power systems less vulnerable to outages compared to large, centralized power plants.
Imagine roads that can melt snow, provide clear signage through LED lights, and even communicate with autonomous vehicles. This is the ambitious goal of solar road technology. Solar roads are complex systems made up of several key components: Photovoltaic Cells: These are the heart of the solar road, converting sunlight into electricity.
Solar roads offer the benefit of dual-use infrastructure by combining power generation with transportation, making efficient use of space—particularly valuable in urban areas where room for traditional solar farms is limited. Solar roads also have the potential to reduce maintenance needs.
Planning for the road PV energy system considering consumption self-sufficient rate. The maximum PV power generation of 1400.5 kWh realized by self-sufficient model. The integration of energy and transportation is a prerequisite for ensuring a rational, practical, and sustainable evolution of energy conservation.
