Of all the solar power plans I’ve seen, this looks the most acceptable.

Really? It looks totally whacked out to me. Road beds crumble from below and then what happens to the solar panels?

I foresee heavy maintenance costs on a product like that. I like the idea. Practical application may not meet reality when the rubber needs to hit the road...: )

Possibly, until reality sets in. Fact is, we live on a very dirty planet. Tires leave rubber, wind deposits dust and leaves, birds leave crap, deer leave blood and anything made out of a polymer sluffs off electrons leaving it brittle. All that goes into making for less sunlight getting to the cels and reducing the efficiency of the panel. IMHO this is yet another person with a guilty conscience trying to make amends for their existance. Their idea for a durable surface would be better served as a roofing material or similar structure, but for a road, not so much.

And for only 14 gagillion dollars (after all the right cronies/socialists get their cut). What bargain.

Everything that I read says solar panels are hot when the sun is up.

Ever step barefoot on hot asphalt or concrete?

I think its pretty interesting.
