Solar highway to generate energy: innovation in China

China one of the most polluted countries on the planet, is working to eradicate or at least reduce pollution within the country. To achieve this, programs have been implemented that have helped reduce the concentration of fine particles in the air by 35% in just four years.


The country achieved this by forcing all urban areas to reduce concentrations of fine particle pollution by at least 10%. For example, in Beijing pollution had to be reduced by 25% and the city allocated 120 billion dollars to achieve it.


In addition to this, China has experimented with AQB Directory other methods to produce renewable energy and thus help the planet. Among these actions is the road paved with solar panels, a road made with plastic-covered panels that line the road.


This is a project that could have an impact on the renewable energy sector and also on the experience of drivers. Generating electricity along highways and streets, rather than in fields and deserts, can help save money, because roads run through and around cities, and the electricity could be used almost right next to where it is generated. Which means that there would be no loss when transporting it.

In order to preserve the solar panels on the roads, they must be repaved from time to time, an action that entails a great cost.


According to information from The New York Times, light-emitting diodes embedded in the surface of the cell can serve to provide illuminated signs that direct drivers to exits or alert them to construction zones and other traffic hazards.
