    Solar panels have some benefits for road construction such as being flat, which is ideal for a road surface. However, they also face significant challenges when used for roads. Solar panels are delicate and require protective layers, which can cause noisy driving. They also need to be very precisely installed to be even, but joins between panels cause structural weakness. Overall, solar panels are not durable or stable enough for use on roads due to their electronics, transparency requirements, lack of traction, inability to prevent shadows from obstructing sunlight, and susceptibility to damage from traffic and debris.

    THE BENEFITS OF USING SOLAR PANELS

    Solar panels do hit the mark when it comes to a few roadway functions. However, it’s
    ultimately all a balancing act.

    They Are Flat

    Solar panels, by their very nature, are flat. This is beneficial for road construction as the
    surface has to be flat and unobstructed.

    However, you must apply layers of protection to solar panels. People must do that if
    they are to be used in roadways as the panels are delicate.

    This often results in noisy driving. That’s because the materials reverberate more than
    traditional mixtures of asphalt and concrete.

    They Are Even

    Solar panels are ordinarily quiet when you line them up. This isn’t as much of a
    necessity when the panels are used on rooftops.

    However, on roads, it is absolutely essential. In order to make these panels as even as


    possible, joiners need to be placed between them. Unfortunately, this can cause
    structural weakness.

    The Challenges of Using Solar Panels

    Most of the time, solar panels fall flat when it comes to functionality beyond their
    traditional purpose: converting energy. If they are to be implemented in a roadway, even
    more challenges arise.

    They Aren’t Stable

    Solar panels by nature are not the most stable systems. This is partly due to the
    complex electronic systems within their construction. It does the real work of
    converting solar energy into electricity.
    Applying excessive force to anything that has complex electronics built-in is usually not
    advisable. That’s because the potential for things to break or become dislodged is high.
    Once the delicate components are broken, the entire system can fail.

    They Aren’t Durable

    Solar panels require a transparent surface that allows sunlight in. Transparent


    materials are often not the most durable materials.

    They can be quite strong, like bulletproof glass or polycarbonate sheets. However, other
    materials still outperform them. If companies make these transparent materials into
    super-durable items, they usually do so at considerable cost.

    They Don’t Have Good Traction

    In order to create a surface which has good traction, the most suitable method is to use
    irregularity. Roads generally consist of rough materials. Those include asphalt, gravel
    pieces and other coarse textures that create a surface wheels can easily grip and propel
    off.

    Solar panels need as much direct sunlight as possible to produce energy and be cost-
    effective. A transparent surface that has a rough texture results in the refraction of
    light. The redirection of precious sunlight away from the solar panels’ voltaic cells
    means they are less effective and will produce far less energy.

    They Can’t be Obstructed by Shadows

    Roads are ultimately specifically for vehicle and foot traffic. While people are walking or
    driving on the road, it’s very likely that they are blocking sunlight from reaching any
    potential solar panels.

    The more cars and people use the road, the more shadows there are. During peak-hour
    traffic, while thousands of cars cover the roadway, the solar panels would be absolutely
    useless.

    Other foreign objects can also obstruct the surface of the solar panels. Tires can scratch
    and dirty the transparent layer of the panels.

    Dust, leaves, stones and other various pollutants will find their way onto roads and
    further block the light. The higher the speed of traveling cars, the worse these effects
    are for the solar panels. Something as simple as a small stone caught within the tread
    of a tire can cause major damage.
