The panels have microprocessors which makes them intelligent.
Solar panel highway glass.
A top layer of high strength textured glass that provides traction for vehicles an array of solar cells beneath that for gathering energy and a base plate that distributes the collected power according to solar roadways.
Our panels contain led lights to create lines and signage without paint.
The solar road panel prototype is 1 024 modules each containing a solar cell a light emitting diode and someday an ultracapacitor for storage.
Solar roadways incorporated is an american company based in sandpoint idaho aiming to develop solar powered road panels to form a smart highway.
A solar roadway is any road that has some sort of solar panel technology attached to its surface thus producing electricity while also supporting the cars and trucks that drive on it.
The modular glass panels created by solar roadways can provide a way to have a modular intelligent durable and modern highway system.
Their proof of concept technology is a hexagonal road panel that has a glass driving surface with underlying solar cells electronics and sensors to act as a part of solar array with programmable capability.
Welcome to solar roadways solar roadways sr is a modular system of specially engineered solar panels that can be walked and driven upon.
These solar highways or solar roadways consist of individual solar panels with three layers.
They contain heating elements to prevent snow and ice accumulation.
The key to making this work will be the glass.
