I am equally extremely grateful and honoured by such recognition! Thank you so much! I am not sure as to what this means though having read your post. Does this refer to this (Solar energy from French roads) post or another yet to be published? This one has struggled to $0.19 so I hope it is the next.
If that sounds ungrateful, please be assured I am not! I take great care and pride in my posts and your initiative is fantastic in a sea of C&P and dross. One man's meat etc.
So, thank you again, most sincerely!
Always a good idea to find multiple uses for anything. I am amazed that they can produce a material strong enough to withstand heavy traffic. Aussie road builders cannot even build roads to withstand truck traffic.
One does not have to be so extreme in durability - use this for suburban roads that do not carry heavy traffic
Thank you so much for replying! These panels can withstand heavy trucks so they are pretty strong but my two concerns were extreme heat and cold for the fixing system and then theft - there is bound to be a problem to get around there.
I lived in Melbourne and then Sydney and the roads were not too bad but when you get that Summer deluge, they do tend to get a bit smashed up - I noticed that there was not a lot maintenance going on with the country roads
I didn't know they were doing this in France too. Thanks a lot for sharing this information.
Just a small comment: Maybe would you consider adding some references to your post, with links pointing towards the place where you get this information (so that we could learn more about it)? Is it ecowatch.com? Thanks in advance!
Yes, some of it was from ecowatch but I always cross check to elsewhere as sometimes one can get tripped up by being slack so I looked at a few others: http://theantimedia.org/sorry-coal-age-solar-power-arrived/ - I actually wrote the basics of this post a few weeks ago - I keep a repository going and some of them just come right out and others get a few revisits
up! that's the spirit!
I already knew it but it's a great post idea we all should have done long time ago! and this is being a played in many forms in many places in fact already!
Thank you for your support. Appreciated very much.Thank you @eliowilson - it makes so much sense doesn't it - we will soon see tennis courts etc like this!
There was a hoax around a year or more ago on the solar freaking roadways, but if it really lasts for so long with no support or renewals it might be a ok investment if the country's budget allows for it. Have you seen the Tesla House , the solar roof, I had a similar idea a few years back , but Tesla made one already :D , might work in the same way for many other venues , you can make so much out of roof tiles :D
Tesla is amazing. Battery tech is going to be interesting. Berkshire Hathaway has made big investments here.
Thanks again for yr comments. Appreciated!Thanks @j3dy, there are many things which have a function but can double up - not necessarily for themselves. Tiles, as you suggested but car panels could store energy in a removable cell which then could be supplementary power for the car or removed to power a cordless drill .
Had to share this on twitter. Always reassuring to see the answers are right under our noses. Just a matter of getting that 100th monkey in the industry wilderness to push things into happening.

Very interesting. Believe it or not I've been mulling that idea over in my mind for years! Thanks for sharing!

The best solutions are invariably simple - we just cannot see them!
