Stupid question but why not above roadways?
There are already light fixtures and usually power lines going around there. It would block some sun from the black road and that's also a good thing. Sending a maintenance vehicle would be easy as it would be accessible.
The only downsides I can see are:
* It needs to be tall enough so trucks won't hit it. So that might make it more expensive.
* It might be stretched over a long distance creating logistic problems with the delivery and efficiencies.
Is there anything basic that I'm missing here?
- billpg 3y agoAbove roadways is fine. The bad idea is making the road surface out of solar panels that vehicles drive on top of.
- invalidname 3y agoYes. I don't get the "road surface" stuff. Doesn't make much sense. But if it's so viable above road then why aren't all interstate roads like that already? It seems like "free money" for the municipality or an entrepreneur that can build it as a "BOT" project. No?
