Solar Roadways project offer glimpse of a greener future

Solar energy is extremely abundant the world over, and it remains to be seen how us humans will utilize it according to the best of our ability with the technology we have. The Solar Roadways project intends to make solar roof panels obsolete if successfuly, as this concept will see solar road panels be embedded with LEDs, where they will indicate road lines and deliver real-time driving instructions without requiring additional juice from the city’s power grid. Not only that, these solar panels will be equipped with heaters to keep roads snow and ice-free, now how about that? Apart from that, they are also touted to offer charging stations for electric vehicles, which is another winning idea in our book. The US Department of Transportation has already dangled a $100,000 carrot for Solar Roadways to develop a Solar Road Panel prototype, so every success in their journey!
