The solar pavement is a new emerging technology with the function of generating electricity and providing electrical supply for transportation infrastructures and/or facilities . The solar pavement can effectively alleviate the heat island effect and environmental pollution while turning the pavement into a new “energy farm” .
The solar paving generates clean DC electricity, which is inverted into AC before being fed to the power network. The electricity is stored in the battery pack, driven by the charge controller in order to provide a reliable power source for the charging station.
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.
The promise of solar roadways extends beyond the generation of electricity; it symbolizes a paradigm shift in how we perceive and utilize our infrastructure. By harnessing the power of the sun beneath our feet, we have the opportunity to illuminate a path towards a greener, more sustainable tomorrow.
Testing the efficacy of solar paving According to Platio, the benefits of solar paving are clear. The panels don’t take up valuable space and are easier to maintain than their regular roof-mounted counterparts.
Just 20m2 of the solar pavement is equal to the yearly average electric energy need of a household. The new installation, in a park in the Glòries area, will generate 7,560kWh of energy a year, enough for three households. The project forms part of the city’s drive to become carbon neutral by 2050.
