Last week, France announced that the country will pave 621 miles of road
with solar panels over the next five years, with the goal of providing cheap,
renewable energy to five million people.
Called “the Wattway,” the roads will be built through joint efforts with
the French road-building company Colas and the National Institute of Solar
Energy. The company spent the last five years developing solar panels that are
only about a quarter of an inch thick and are strong enough to stand up to heavy
highway traffic without breaking or making the roads more slippery. The panels
are also designed so that they can be installed directly on top of existing
roadways, making them relatively cheap and easy to install.
France isn’t the first country to kick around the idea of paving its roads
with solar panels. In November 2015, the Netherlands completed a 229-foot-long
bike path paved with solar panels as a test for future projects. However, this
is the first time a panel has been designed to be laid directly on top of
existing roads and the first project to install the panels on public
highways.
