Solar Roads

Date: 2018-09-24 12:43 pm (UTC)But I'm still not sure, if the cost of mediocre solar panels minus the cost of tarmac is in any way better than the cost of normal solar panels built over something. Roofs first, but you *could* roof over roads if you're genuinely running short of area to solar-panel.
Re: Solar Roads
Date: 2018-09-24 12:54 pm (UTC)My view is that is always going to be better to stick a solar panel almost anywhere else than the roadbed. On a roof, on a roof over a road, on a raft on a lake, on a hat, on the side of a wall because the stuff you have to do to a solar panel for it to survive on a road is almost always going to be more expensive than putting it anywhere else where also making it perform worse and it will be pointing in the wrong direction.
