This is the world’s first road made of solar panels
It sounds like a Mario Kart level, but really it's a power source that could power 3 homes.
The $3.7 million project will open a 230-foot-long stretch of the solar roadway this week; later work will extend it to 330 feet. Researchers estimate the completed test stretch will gather enough solar power to support three households.
The flat roadway generates about 30 percent less energy than rooftop solar panels that can be aimed for better harvesting This is the world 146 s first road made of solar panels - Road Track
