This was obviously never going to work
Could be, and I suspect that a lot of the actual engineering folks involved would agree 100% on this point. They'd probably also tell you that 5 million for real - world experimental data on the exact ways in which it failed was very much worth it.
Was there anything else worth responding to in the wordy pseudo-psychological insults?
- Atheros 7y agoMay I please read the real-world experimental data that will save other companies millions of dollars?
- eitland 7y agoGo right ahead. Scientific papers are probably easier to access than anytime before. Start by looking for optimal angels for mounting solar panels. Last I heard, unless you have movable panels the only correct angle is where they catch most of the sun in the middle of the day.
- lorenzhs 7y ago1.) I think the OP was asking where they can find the insights obtained from this failed solar road test that would allow others to save money. Not general photovoltaics stuff. 2.) Angling solar panels is a more complex problem than you might have thought: https://www.eupvsec-proceedings.com/proceedings?fulltext=munzke&paper=33024 https://www.eupvsec-proceedings.com/proceedings?fulltext=mun... :)
- fencepost 7y agoThat may not be made available depending on the company involved with the roadway. They may very well consider it proprietary information to be used in development of future products.
