The idea of laying a solar-powered road has been proposed by theorists for some time, and the process of refining the idea has been changing
.
The idea does make sense, as millions of miles of roads around the world typically absorb a lot of light energy, and the vast majority of that light energy is
wasted.
As long as humanity can find a way to address cost and durability, these millions of miles of pavement could accomplish the task
of doubling renewable energy.
A German startup called Solmove recently made this attempt
.
Its method is to install photovoltaic cells
on the road.
Yes, there have been other upstarts implementing this idea before, such as the fancy solar road system Solar Roadways
.
In the Netherlands and Canada, several institutions have successfully implemented solar roads
on a smaller scale.
At present, the idea seems to be more feasible
on roads with less traffic due to the excessive impact of cars, trucks and other heavy machinery that conventional roads and highways have to withstand.
Solmove has now developed glass roads for non-motorized vehicles, which are currently only accessible to bicycles or people, not motorized vehicles
.
Germany-based Solmove sees Solar Highway Visions as a rare opportunity
.
Solmove's products have more short-term potential
in Germany than in the United States.
Earth's precious space means that the use of most unused surface areas is more encouraged, and Germany is switching to renewable energy, and its energy demand is expected to rise
.
Donald Müller Judecks, founder of Solmove, said: "Many facilities in Germany are small
compared to the United States.
There are many people here, maybe we can take advantage of the scenery
.
And using the facilities we already use is a smart way
.
Solmove will deploy its energy use land works
in an area close to Berlin's Haus der Zukunft.
The glass surface of the road reflects sunlight onto the solar cells, making energy efficient as 10%-15%.
For reference, SolarCity's state-of-the-art rooftop solar panel system absorbs 22 percent of light, which is said to be the highest efficiency
in the world.
As the cost of solar systems falls and production increases, the practice of harnessing solar energy will become more viable
.
In a country as strong as Germany, where energy and space demand will rise in the future, it would be wise to adopt advanced technologies to find new ways to use resources such as space and energy
