Solar Roadways has been trying to get a product to its very nascent market for some years now. Essentially a Mom and Pop operation out of their home, they have persevered.
This winter in Sandpoint the tiles will take a beating.
It's great idea and I hope it finally finds it's niche.

I am not exactly clear about the merit of this idea? A new challenge for script kiddies to hack into?

What a ridiculous waste of time and money....

If these pay for themselves, and can be made reliable enough...

Their first contract and they manage to have only 12 out of 30 panels working...

I remember reading about these years ago, and they're still not ready for prime time? Sad. Whoever scheduled that press conference hosed it completely. My first question is whether or not they can be protected from becoming icy/slippery AND remain visible at the same time. The side view shows a pretty reflective surface. My second question is whether or not flat panels will be visibly effective to drivers. I guess a close third is time for ROI, as I doubt they'll be cheap. The 4th Q is cost effectiveness. These small solar panels will produce enough only power to handle each internal LED panel, right? It's not like they're powering up batteries to run the street lights. Good luck, SR.

This looks like something better suited for patios/decks, pool surrounds, sidewalks and maybe driveways. I don't see it as a road surface.

If you click on the link you can see a live view of the panels. As I type it is evening and the working units are flashing but there is no one around. I wonder if the panels will end up using more power then they generate.

Really??? has ANY ONE looked at the disastrous French and Netherland roll out of the EXACT same looney idea??? This "amazing" invention is ridiculously inefficient, impractical and totally cost prohibitive. Don't belive me??? Watch this very enlightened presentation from a real electronics expert. There are at least a dozen more presentations debunking this misguided potential waste of tax payers money and governmental support.
