China has opened a 1 kilometer long solar road in jinan the capitol of shandong province south of beijing.

China solar panel road.

China is building a 1 2 mile 2 km stretch of solar highway meaning solar panels on the road will be powering the towns surrounding it. Engineers hope that soon it will wirelessly power electric. A stretch of solar in jinan. France has opened what it claims to be the world s first solar panel road in a normandy village.

His design teams argues if two lanes of every expressway in china was to be fitted with the solar panels surface as seen in jinan together they would generate 7 million gwh of power every year. The sun s rays can hit some roads for up to 90 percent of the daylight hours so companies in europe and the u s. In late 2016 a village in france opened what it claimed was the world s first solar panel. China is billing the project as the world s first photovoltaic highway.

A 1km 0 6 mile route in the small village of tourouvre au perche covered with 2 800 sq m of. Are experimenting with building solar panel. This is equivalent to almost 1 3 times the amount of china s total residential energy consumption 2015 and would cut greenhouse gas emissions by 7 2. The solar highway which comprises photovoltaic panels covered with a thin layer of concrete supposedly to protect them forms part of jinan s ring road system.

The two lane road covers 5 875 square meters and can generate up to 1 million kilowatt.
