Because roads run through and around cities, the electricity could be used practically next door to where it is generated. That means virtually no power would be lost in transmission, as can happen with projects in outlying locations. And the land is essentially free, because roads are needed anyway. Roads must be resurfaced every few years at great cost, so the installation of durable solar panels could reduce the price of maintenance.
China Is Testing Roads Paved With Solar Panels
Great idea. Putting solar cells where they'll get run over, dirty, oily, that won't degrade their performance.
Free Power
Solar roads are also more expensive than asphalt. It costs about $120 a square meter, or about $11 a square foot, to resurface and repair an asphalt road each decade. By comparison, Pavenergy and Colas hope to be able to bring the cost of a solar road to $310 to $460 a square meter with mass production.
Free? LOL!

And when your paid for the energy the solar road produces?

It still won't be free.

It is for those that pay for the road.
An alien race shows up and says "we've got a free limitless pollution free energy source for you".
"How do we get it? Drlling? Mining? Do we need explosives and have to risk thousands of lives?"
"No we'll beam it to you from our planet, you just have to build collectors for it."
And that is what solar power is.

An expensive, unreliable source of intermittent energy. Sweet!!

They're hoping to bring the cost down to $310/square meter.
That's not free power.

Where do you get your cheap, reliable, uninterrupted solar power?

The cost is paid by those that buy power.

What I produce and don't use is sold back to the grid reducing my bill to close to zero.

Sure it does. You sell energy to maintain the roadway.
You do realize that link is almost 2 years old, don't you think the technology has advanced in the last 2 years? Moron

Maintain? You haven't even repaid the cost of the road.
