Road solar power be reality

With the continuous development of science and technology to enhance scientific and technological content of solar energy storage, Road power has become a reality. the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) consortium 25 kilometers from Amsterdam's city Keluomoni laying of a 70 m-long solar cycle paths, the total cost of the project, it’s scheduled Nov. 12, open to the public.

In fact the plan in early 2011 began planning the development, originally it planned to be completed by 2012, but for various reasons in recent days was formally commenced laying. This solar bicycle path by the solar panels covering the surface of a block of concrete cement blocks mosaic, covering the surface of crystalline solar cell panel is only 1 inch (about 2.5cm) thick, was able to withstand the weight of a truck. Although solar panels can’t move for maximum sunlight range, but Article 70 m long driveway three families to provide adequate electricity.

Vision Netherlands TNO is extensive paved driveway solar generator, It is producing enough electricity supply electric vehicles, road lighting and household electricity companies, and ultimately reduce the ultimate goal of the world's dependence on fossil fuels, renewable energy to create a system of supply and demand. But the biggest obstacle currently facing the plan is expensive cost.

So far the production cost of the project is about 1.5 million euros, complete the laying of the construction project will cost a total of up to 3 million euros. Although costly, but the prospect of TNO in the Netherlands this project is still very optimistic, they said when the solar panels become cheaper, the cost of production of the off grid solar system project will be greatly reduced. TNO in the Netherlands plans to expand the 2016 bike lanes to 100 meters and may indicate that the item to other regions.
