Seems interesting on paper.
But i have no idea how they calculated the energy it would give.

Let's look on a portion of a road. During the day, thousands of cars go through it. Blocking the sun. At night, no one rides (or only a few), but there's no sun.
It's even worse for parking lots, if there's a car there all day long.

For that reason, it's obvious i'd rather have solar panel on my roof, than on my parking.


Engineering point of view :

So they did a test with a tractor going on it, and it didn't broke.
Great. Did they run some virtual solution and ran 100 000 tractors on it, or fully loaded truks ? It isn't safe because it sustained one push. This push must be low enough for the material to let it in it's elastic phase. And even then, there's something called "fatigue", that states that a repetitive load will still cause strain on the material.
Look at our roads, they need upkeep. It's not that expensive for our current road, but if we're speaking in solar panels, that will be more. And if one is damaged, since they seem to be linked, how will it go for the others ?
They showed an image of a boulder blocking the road, and thus signs on the road prior to that zone, telling to slow down. Does that mean the solar freaking panel can sustain a fall of a boulder ? Is there some kind of weight detection on them, to differentiate between an animal crossing and a goddzilla crossing ?

This really feels pre-pre-pre alpha. It feels interesting, so i'll keep myself informed. Thanks for sharing that info. But i'm not hyped for it. Definitely not.

For it to be commercially viable, you'll need to be able to make profits under 10 years, usually. For "regular" solar panels on your own roof, you're already counting in years, because let's face it, electricity isn't that expensive. For this type of solar panels, undamaged when a tractor goes on it, with potential LEDs and some kind of cables linked together to "write" warnings, it's going to be way too much expensive for states or persons considering getting it.

Vote for me. And i'll put solar freaking panels on our roads.
Once elected : By the way, taxes will go up 30% for the next 20 years to cover for the expenses. And there may be problems since it's a fairly new technology. But hey, it's green energy, so it's definitely worth it, right ?


I just don't see it happening. :?

Thanks Oberyn. Shame on me for actually checking the Temple of Spam instead of a "normal" General Offtopic thread.
