据英国报道，美国爱达荷州一个家庭企业公布了其关于太阳能道路的设计理念，并且已完成了一个“停车场”的样板。在这项设计中，太阳能板能够“嵌入”公路之下，并且为周围的车辆提供电力。这些道路中还安装了一些发光二极管，可以在阴天或夜晚亮起道路标志。据悉，这些太阳能板还覆盖有马赛克效果的灯光，在晚上，点亮的小灯可以作为交通标志和警告信息。另外，公路下还可以“嵌入”加热器，这样在冬天的时候，公路上就不会再有积雪和薄冰。

参与开发的斯科特(Scott)和朱莉(Julie)说，他们已经开发出一小部分的太阳能供电的道路，以证明他们这一设计的可行性。并且他们希望有一天能先在美国推出他们的太阳能道路，再进一步推广到各个国家，以此为绿色能源的推广做贡献。开发者们还进一步阐述称自己设计的太阳能道路会有很高的价值，首当其冲的价值肯定是很好地利用了太阳能，如果成功在美国全国范围内安装，它能为整个国家提供更多的可再生能源。

in 2012, designboom covered the first prototype stage of american electrical engineer scott brusaw’s system of solar powered roads. conceived as an initiative to change the face of national highways by re-purposing them with photo-voltaic panels, the idea for ‘solar roadways’ was to introduce smart streets capable of directly inputting energy into ‘the grid’. if realized, the concept could essentially power an entire country with the generated electricity.

now in it’s second prototyping stage, the project has been further developed as a modular photovoltaic (PV) paving system that can withstand the heaviest of trucks – up to 120,000 kilograms. the plan would see the ‘solar road’ panels installed on highways, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, bike paths and even playgrounds.

the system is based on centralized power stations, and distribution is handled through transmission lines and relay centers. each panel has its own microprocessor, which communicates wirelessly with the surrounding panels – they monitor each other for malfunctions or problems.
