Description: As you can may already know solar panels have a range of diverse applications the most well known being on our roofs. But some are taking that idea even further and proposing that we build roads themselves out of solar panels. I have a plan to create structurally engineered rows of solar panels that cars and trucks can still drive on. And while we're driving on them, they'll collect solar power that can supply power to our homes and businesses. This would also be the same for sidewalks, but instead our steps would be the supply the power.
