What do you think of the idea? Solar panels on the streets! Solar Roadways is a startup from Idaho that has developed one system με ηλιακούς συλλέκτες, οι οποίοι μπορούν να εγκατασταθούν σε πόλεις. Θα επαναφορτίζουν τα αυτοκίνητα, θα προσφέρουν ηλεκτρική ενέργεια και θα κάνουν τους δρόμους πιο ασφαλείς.
Solar Roadways believes that its solar panels are ideal for the roads. Idaho's startup manufactures hexagonal solar panels and is preparing to install them on US roads.
The company's goal is to produce enough energy for the surrounding houses and businesses, as well as for the lighting of the road itself, with road markings.
The idea is from 2014 and Solar Roadways has managed to complete three rounds of testing in collaboration with the US Department of Transportation.
Then search for 2 millions dollars funding through Indiegogo. But the project also caught the attention of the Missouri Department of Transportation, which plans to install the panels as part of a pilot program. Welcome Center of Route 66 at Conway.
