Learn MoreOne estimate puts the cost of replacing the country's roads with Solar Roadway's prototype product at $56 trillion. We'll need innovation to help lower production, installation, and maintenance costs before solar roads become a realistic and cost-effective solution.
A solar roadway is any road with solar panel technology attached to its surface, thus producing electricity while supporting the cars and trucks that drive on it. While an exciting and innovative way to generate solar power, solar roadways are far from a realistic, cost-effective energy production method.
There's one solar roadway in the U.S. A solar roadway in Peachtree Corners, Georgia is apparently the only one currently operational in the U.S. It was installed in late 2020 using WattWay road panels. However, the project is very limited in scope and occupies a narrow strip within an autonomous vehicle test lane (pictured below).
Experts' calculations show that solar roads could produce over 14.5 trillion kWh of electricity per year, three times more than the annual energy consumption. However, this is contingent on the existing road network transforming into solar roadways. 4. Wireless Charging for Electric Vehicles
Solar-powered roadways are an idea that has existed for many years but remains constantly in the spotlight thanks to ever-evolving technological developments. Driving on solar roadways and generating clean energy under the wheels – fantasy or a tangible possibility? The United States has a keen interest in solar energy like no other.
Solar Roadways was awarded a Phase I SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) contract by the USDOT to research the viability of creating a highway system that would pay for itself over time through the generation of renewable energy. After now completing three contracts with the USDOT, it is apparent that this goal is viable.
