Solar pavements: A critical review
At present, the commercial technology through photovoltaic is limited by space installation requirements, which restricts its popularization and application. On the other hand,
Imagine roads that can melt snow, provide clear signage through LED lights, and even communicate with autonomous vehicles. This is the ambitious goal of solar road technology. Solar roads are complex systems made up of several key components: Photovoltaic Cells: These are the heart of the solar road, converting sunlight into electricity.
Planning for the road PV energy system considering consumption self-sufficient rate. The maximum PV power generation of 1400.5 kWh realized by self-sufficient model. The integration of energy and transportation is a prerequisite for ensuring a rational, practical, and sustainable evolution of energy conservation.
Recommendations for its future development are proposed in six aspects. As an emerging energy harvesting pavement technology, the photovoltaic (PV) pavement, which combines mature photovoltaic power generation technology with traditional pavement facilities, can make full use of the vast spatial resource of roadways.
The proposed planning strategy promotes the optimization of the siting and deployment of road photovoltaic systems. This study provides technical support for low-carbon energy supply in highways, contributing to sustainable development and net zero emissions in transportation. Power of the i th RECC (W). GHI of the i th road segment (kWh/m 2). 1.
Given the amount of road surface available worldwide, the potential for energy generation is enormous. Solar roads offer the benefit of dual-use infrastructure by combining power generation with transportation, making efficient use of space—particularly valuable in urban areas where room for traditional solar farms is limited.
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.
