Other Applications

Driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks, courtyards, pool surrounds, outdoor dance floors, airport surfaces, cemeteries, race tracks, outdoor sporting arenas, the list goes on and on.

Imagine a playground for instance: The LEDs can be configured in any way imaginable. Four square courts, dodge ball circles, hop-scotch, chess/checkers, basketball courts… you can “paint” anything you want, any time you want.

Patterns can be reconfigured and changed daily. Games can be created (chase the moving circle, spelling games, tic-tac-toe) – your imagination is your only limitation. The more time we spend imagining the post Solar Roadways world, the more excited we become!

Think of all the unused surface area on an airport tarmac: The embedded LEDs of the Solar Road Panels could be used to paint runway lines and numbers and spell out instructions to pilots. This could all be controlled and updated in real time by air traffic and ground traffic controllers.

Now, imagine amusement parks: this is Disneyland and the surrounding area in southern California (notice the massive amounts of asphalt and concrete surfaces just baking in the sun):

Different "lands" could have different color schemes via the multitude of LED color choices. The lighted paths would enhance safety and reduce slipping from snow and ice in more northern climates. Imagine what the electric bill must be for an amusement park and how much energy could be collected from their huge parking lots and paths.

There are so many facilities with huge parking lots around the world, from concert halls, sports venues, various types of race tracks, universities, large manufacturing facilities, shopping malls etc.

Many of these places have been contacting us and wanting to buy panels. Now that we have the funding to complete our research we should soon be able to provide for their needs.

"All this technological innovation needs to start soon if we are to have a chance to stabilize carbon emissions at levels that avoid huge and potentially devastating global costs." ~ Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University
