Solar Roadways is a modular paving system of solar panels that is currently looking for funding on IndieGoGo. Julie and Scott Brusaw have raised 44 percent of the $1 Million goal so far with only 9 days remaining - so why not give a push for some really cool looking technology that could potentially cut green housegases by 75 percent?

Solar Roadways can withstand the heaviest of trucks (250,000 pounds). These Solar Road Panels can be installed on roads, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, bike paths, playgrounds... literally any surface under the sun. They pay for themselves primarily through the generation of electricity, which can power homes and businesses connected via driveways and parking lots. A nationwide system could produce more clean renewable energy than a country uses as a whole.



They have many other features as well, including: heating elements to stay snow/ice free, LEDs to make road lines and signage, and attached Cable Corridor to store and treat stormwater and provide a "home" for power and data cables. EVs will be able to charge with energy from the sun (instead of fossil fuels) from parking lots and driveways and after a roadway system is in place, mutual induction technology will allow for charging while driving.
