The solar roadway system should produce more than 1,300 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually
The City of Peachtree Corners in Gwinnett County, Georgia has launched a new solar roadway system which produces energy for an electric vehicle (EV) charging station at city hall.
Separately, the city has also revealed a new EV fast-charging plaza for up to 16 vehicles. The plaza is the inaugural project in Peachtree Corners’ new EV strategy, which could serve as a model for other cities.
The solar roadway is on a section of an autonomous vehicle test lane in the city’s Curiosity Lab real-world testing environment and has been provided through a partnership with The Ray, a non-profit proving ground in Atlanta.
