Technical FAQs 4

What is a highway photovoltaic system?

Schematic diagram of the highway photovoltaics (PV) system. Roofing highways with solar panels generates green electricity that is delivered to the grid to replace the electricity from fossil fuels, thereby contributing to CO 2 e emission reductions.

Can solar energy be used in highways?

The integration of energy and transportation is a prerequisite for ensuring a rational, practical, and sustainable evolution of energy conservation. This study proposes a planning strategy combining the maximum exploitation of solar resources and road area to utilize solar energy in highways entirely.

Can PV systems be used in highways?

The design of the capacity and site of PV systems in highways is a significant issue that requires attention. Some studies have conducted the methods of designing PV systems in road areas such as roadside infrastructure , service area , and asphalt pavement .

Can Highway PV be used to supply electricity to rest areas & tunnels?

Several pilot projects of highway PV in China, the United States (US), Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have already demonstrated the technical feasibility of using PV to supply electricity for highway rest areas and tunnels (Enkhardt, 2020; Steven, 2016). These projects imply that the benefits of the highway PV mainly embody two aspects.
