To deal with this issue, the concept of photovoltaic (PV) pavement is emerging, . It regards the modified photovoltaic modules as one part of the road structure, equipped with the inherent function of electricity generation and vehicular traffic support. The core advantage of this technology is the non-extra land occupation.
Recommendations for its future development are proposed in six aspects. As an emerging energy harvesting pavement technology, the photovoltaic (PV) pavement, which combines mature photovoltaic power generation technology with traditional pavement facilities, can make full use of the vast spatial resource of roadways.
However, the solar pavement showed relatively superior performance in other aspects. Based on measurement and analysis results, it was recommended to add a new layer of solar rubber pavement to enhance strength parameters and power generation. Some enterprises also launch some products of PV pavement.
Li et al. proposed a pavement integrated photovoltaic pavement (PIPVT) system and developed its relevant mathematical model . Based on the real meteorological data in Shanghai, the simulation results showed 0.62 kWh of electricity and 1.36 kWh of heat could be generated by two mentioned PIPVT modules on a typical sunny day.
In other cases, however, the photovoltaic panels become an integral part of the road structure, generating electricity and supporting traffic loads [33, 34]. Thermal investigations have found
