      I’m not a fan of the guy so if you want his channel you need to search youtube but thunderf00t did a pretty decent if heavily sarcastic video, maybe 2, on why current solar panel roads are ridiculously stupid.

        ah i think this is solar panel covering as in suspended above the road, not embedded in the road

        in india i think they started suspending panels above their canals successfully, i think there are other plans for farms too, that even helps some crops to grow

          I addressed raised panels in other comments as well.

          They work really well in farm fields, and I’m pretty sure India has already begun installing panels on some farms to test for runoff complications.

          Canals is a really good idea as long as the panels can be serviced easily without making them to tempting to steal.

          Roadside anywhere will always fall to the problem that if you make something easy to steal by putting it on the side of the road, it will get stolen.

            Which is again, not what they’re suggesting. This article was about putting the panels above the road

              Which is again, why I also covered those in my posts. And since you can’t bother to read my replies, I’ll make sure I’ll never have to see yours again.
