CONTENTS INTRODUCTION WORKING PRINCIPLE CONSTRACTION ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION A Solar Panel is a packaged interconnected assembly of solar cells A Solar roadway is a road surface that generates electricity by solar power photovoltaics.
WORKING PRINCIPLE Daylight produces electricity using a solar cell. This charges a battery. At night the battery powers the flashing unit.
CONSTRUCTION OF PANEL Existing prototype panels consist of three layers Road surface layer Electronics layer Base plate layer
ADVANTAGES Renewability and life-span Military and rescue assistance Roadways already in place On-the-go charging
DISADVANTAGES Costly In-road electric vehicle charger Solar-charged vehicle Photovoltaic system Solar cell
CONCLUSION The Renewable energy replaces the need for the current fossil fuels used for the generation of electricity, which cuts greenhouse gases and helps in sustainable development.
