Some of you have posted this video of solar roadways on Facebook. I, too, was impressed, but also wanted a solar experts opinion on the project. It sounded too good to be true. Dan Dwyer is a nanotechnologist in Albany, New York. Hes spent the better part of a decade working with solar technology. In short, researching useful power production from the sun is Dans life. Heres what he had to say about solar freakin roadways: They need to be kept at the appropriate angle to the sun and clear all the time, so if you want to build an angled road and not let people drive on it great. plus that glass is very expensive and theres a bunch of reliability issues. We can discuss over an umbrella drink during your next visit, says Dan. This doesnt mean this idea has no merit, just that, like all things to do with climate change, its a more complicated issue. Its a start, though.
