Solar panel roads: The future of it As you have already read, collar panel roads are going to become the future of clean transport energy. This is what it seems like but when we look closer we see how far it can go and the problems they might run into. This blog will be focusing on how solar panel roads will help the future or even if it will be in the future?? The most important thing about a road is the safety of transport and safety of vehicles on the road so how does solar panel roads do this effectively. If solar panel roads were introduced to all roads, all roads would need to be facing the sun or if the sun can reach the roads it would be perfect but that is not the case. A lot of roads are not able to get access to the sun because of such reasons of buildings and trees. (Thompson, 2015) The idea of solar panel roads is definitely an amazing suggestion and It could work because of it progress under extreme environments. When its snows the solar panel roads heat up and melt the snow which can be an amazing feature for the future as roads would not be closed during snowstorms. (Wang, 2014) When a road is being constantly being used the road starts to develop a wear and tear effect. This means the solar panel roads will become less effective. The smooth surface when the road is first built can also cause danger to safety of brakes. (thompson, 2015) In conclusion I don’t see the future of solar panel road becoming more than what is that is today. Whilst it is an amazing idea I think idea is better than the actual product.
