What is Solar Roadways?

Equations to get us Started!
E = A * r * H * PR
- E = Energy (kWh)
- A = Total solar panel Area (m²)
- r = solar panel yield (%)
- H = Annual average solar radiation on tilted panels (shadings not included)
- PR = Performance ratio, coefficient for losses (range between 0.5 and 0.9, default value = 0.75)
PEgrav = mass • g • height
Solar Powered Roadways !
How will it be helpful?
-Make use of our Sun!
-Generate more energy than we already do by over 3x
-Save money on the long run
$.70/watt
-Help the regulation of traffic.
-Less accidents
How do they work?
- Solar power cells convert sunlight into electricity, using the energy from photons which are particels given of during atom fusion reactions in the sun. The photons are absorbed into the panel creating and storing electrical current.
-Electrical energy is stored in the panel which makes it potential electrical energy
- When the energy is needed to power a specific function, it can be programmed to go off and allow the potential electric energy to change to light energy.

What is Solar Roadways?
Enhanced Solar Panel Roadway Features
-Road Ways which eliminate the use of electronic traffic lights and promote the use of solar energy.
- Enhance roadway lines
-Possibly enhance roadway infrastructures
- All the basic structures of a solar panel
-Addition of a more flexible layer to make it so the solar powers are able to resist and function in the extreme environment it will be used in.
- Its a great start for a greater future. Knowing that since energy is harnessed into a panel , if this technology is able to take over the future roads, it can also help with other roadway troubles. ---- Ice, Road Cracks.
