Working to make the earth a greener and safer place by opening up new markets for solar energy.

关于我们

Solar Roadways? (SR) is a modular system of specially engineered solar panels that can be walked and driven upon. Our panels contain LED lights to create lines and signage without paint. They contain heating elements to prevent snow and ice accumulation. The panels have microprocessors, which makes them intelligent. This allows the panels to communicate with each other, a central control station, and vehicles. Many people are surprised to learn that our panels are made of glass… but not ordinary glass. SR panels are made of specifically formulated tempered glass, which can support the weight of semi-trucks. The glass has a tractioned surface which is equivalent to asphalt. You can read more technical information in the specifics page of our website. We’re still in an early phase of our company’s development. Eventually our panels will be available for highways, but first will come non-critical applications such as driveways and parking lots. We are readying to install the first projects now. We are currently in the last year of our third contract with the U.S. Department of Transportation. This contract funded much needed testing: Traction Testing, Load Testing, Impact Resistance Testing, Moisture Conditioning, Freeze/Thaw Cycling, Shear Testing, and Accelerated Load Testing. We’ll publish the results when the last test has been completed. We’ll be able to charge electric vehicles with clean energy from the sun, first on our solar parking lots and driveways. When we have enough highway infrastructure, SR will enable dynamic charging of Electric Vehicles so they can charge while driving. We are in collaboration with a company who makes the chargers, which can be placed into some of our panels. Solar Roadways can also facilitate the transition to Autonomous Vehicles by making them much safer. If you would like to contact us regarding careers with SR, becoming a customer, a distributor or just have a question for us, we’d love to hear from you.
