They envisioned replacing asphalt surfaces with structurally engineered solar panels capable of withstanding vehicular traffic.

Solar roadways sr is a modular system of specially engineered solar panels that can be walked and driven upon.
American electrical engineer scott brusaw has developed a system of solar powered roads as an initiative to change the face of national highways.
His new invention solar roadways modules will radically change the way we think about and drive on roadways and parking.
When the solar roadway concept.
Scott brusaw solar roadways.
This time we installed with a brand new base system made of recycled rubber.
Chasing genius a twist in the drive to pave roads with solar panels scott and julie brusaw are working to replace more asphalt with solar cells and possibly link the panels up with driverless cars.
The panels have microprocessors which makes them intelligent.
New more efficient 23 7 up from 17 6 solar cells new glass with an anti glare pedestrian texture new led lights and a new heating system.
Other changes from sr3 to sr4 include.
Brusaw says solar road panels could theoretically be laid anywhere from motorways and parking lots to pavements and playgrounds.
They contain heating elements to prevent snow and ice accumulation.
The proposed system would require the development of strong transparent and self cleaning glass with the necessary traction and impact resistance properties at competitive cost.
We have now completed the installation of our new sr4 panels at our pilot site in sandpoint idaho.
The company was founded in 2006 by scott and julie brusaw with scott as president and ceo.
His project solar roadways aims to re.
We ll watch the panels for a.
Our panels contain led lights to create lines and signage without paint.
Scott and julie brusaw developed solar roadways a modular pavement system that uses solar panels with 18 5 efficiency that.
He believes the solar powered glass pavers his company makes could transform thousands of miles of pavement into a new energy source.
Turns out this project is actually far more practical than it sounds.
Scott has an eye for innovation in the solar roads and parking lot areas.
