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.
Solar roadways offer immense potential for energy generation. Through the utilization of photovoltaic cells, sunlight is converted into electricity. The scale and efficiency of energy generation with solar roadways are remarkable, as large stretches of road surfaces can be utilized for harnessing solar power.
Through energy generation, improved infrastructure sustainability, and technological innovation, solar roadways offer a viable solution for addressing energy and transportation challenges. Exploring the potential of solar roadways is vital for a sustainable and greener future.
Planning for the road PV energy system considering consumption self-sufficient rate. The maximum PV power generation of 1400.5 kWh realized by self-sufficient model. The integration of energy and transportation is a prerequisite for ensuring a rational, practical, and sustainable evolution of energy conservation.
