In 2014, the Netherlands built a solar pedal lane with a total length of about 100 meters, becoming the first country
in the world to apply solar panels to road paving.
Now, France has built a solar road with a total length of about 1 km, officially becoming the first country
in the world to use solar roads.
Located in Tourouvre-au-Perche, a town of about 3,400 inhabitants in Normandy in northwestern France, the $5.
2 million solar road is made of about 2,880 solar panels, providing an average of 767kWh of electricity per day, and even 1500kWh per day during peak summer hours, generating enough electricity to power
street lights.
In order for this solar road to have the function of a road in addition to generating electricity, the solar panels used must be strong enough
.
The solar road is made using the "Wattway" solar photovoltaic technology of French road engineering company Colas, which is made of polysilicon, and covers the extremely fragile solar cell surface with 5 layers of substrate composed of resin and polymer, so that the solar panel is strong enough to withstand the vertical pressure of all types of vehicles, including trucks, and the heavy-duty anti-skid design can also reduce the occurrence
of car accidents.
It is reported that this solar road will first undergo a 2-year test to observe whether its road life and power output state are as expected
.
According to Colas, the life of the Wattway solar road is similar to that of ordinary roads, but everything depends on the traffic flow in the area, and the road life can reach about 20 years
in areas with low traffic.
The 1-kilometer-long solar road is actually part of the French government's "Positive Energy" plan, which aims to build a total of 1,000 kilometers of solar roads by 2021, and it is worth mentioning that the "Positive Energy" plan is funded by the government's tax
increase on fossil fuels.
