World’s first electricity generating road in France

+




In the French area of Normandy, world’s first solar road has been opened for traffic and it is 1 km long. The name given to this experimental road is “Wattway” from where around 2,000 cars will pass every day. Total 2800 solar panels are fixed on the road. It is expected that 767 kw/h of energy can be generated from this road which is enough to light the street lights on this road and its nearby areas. The experiment of solar road will continue for two years.

Solar panels are very sensitive and can’t bear much load but solar panels in “Wattway” are made so strong that they will remain safe if a car or even a truck would pass over them.

Prior to that, the strongest solar panels in Holland were only capable to withstand a bicycle rider and they break in case more load was put on them.
