I mean, look at this road, whats it doing right now . Its looking straight up at the sky. And its estimated that even busy roads can see the sky for 70 90 of the time. But its not all plain. Sunning. The problem with putting Photovoltaic Cells into roads is the slightest bit of pressure, the slightest bend, and. So the cells are stuck onto slabs and covered with crushed glass and a translucent resin. At the facility near versailles, in france, these seven millimetre thick panels are being tested for their strength and durability so they can withstand heavy traffic, as well as ensuring that they arent slippery. We have the cell and on each face we added polymer to increase the stiffness and the durability of the cells itself. So do they bend or are theyjust resistant to bending . Yes, of course they bend, butjust a little bit. So it resists. And they are pretty strong. Im a geek, i cant open a jar, let alone bend a piece of road. All right, 0k, can i smack it on the. . Laughter. Uhhhh.

Take them off guys, youre indoors. Theyre ugly, huge and they ruin the landscape, but we do kind of need them to get from a to b. But sometimes a road can be more than just a road. And thats the idea behind a french government backed initiative using the massive space given over to the Transport Network to also capture the sun through solar roads.
