Solar panels under the road is a bad idea from the start. If they are under the roads, they are hard to maintain. They will have reduced light from parked cars etc.

An engineering failure With the global road network spanning between 21 and 32 million kilometers (13 and 19.8 million miles), it seems reasonable that covering just a portion of them with solar...

The Solar Roadways concept, by contrast, would cost at least $56 trillion, and deteriorate far more quickly. Another cost estimate looks at the 25,000 mi 2 of roadways to be covered (about 60 billion m 2 ), and the cost of a 36" x 36" x 0.5" plate of tempered glass at over $300, for a cost in glass alone of $20 trillion for the project.

If you think this is a good idea you've been robbed!

The bumps on the prototype Solar Roadway glass hexagons are about an inch apart. A car driving at highway speeds moves about 100 feet per second, so the bumps would make a very well-defined tone of...

Solar Roads are Very Expensive. The cost of solar roads per square meter is astronomically more expensive than normal solar panels. As a fantastic example, the Wattway Solar Road in France is 8.5 times more expensive per watt than a traditional solar panel farm. A solar farm located in the open space just next to the road would be significantly ...

Thunderstorms and rotting leaves did a number on the road's solar panels. Sorry State. In 2016 France turned a one-kilometer stretch of roadway into the world’s first solar road.And three years ...
