Forget solar roofs. The world’s first solar road is here, in the small village of Tourouvre-au-Perche in Normandy, France. The 1 kilometer road was opened yesterday by French Ecology Minister Ségolène Royal and could generate enough electricity to power the street lights.
The first tangible step towards realizing this vision took place in France in 2016, with the construction of the inaugural solar roadway. This project marked a significant milestone, showcasing the viability of integrating solar technology into road surfaces.
Glass Layer The uppermost layer of a solar roadway, the glass layer, plays a pivotal role in ensuring the road’s structural integrity. This component is designed to accommodate the passage of low-weight vehicles and bicycles.
The primary purpose of solar roadways is to serve as decentralized power generators. By harvesting solar energy, these roadways contribute electricity not only to power the infrastructure itself but also to feed into the broader energy grid.
Our standardized photovoltaic container and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
