English

Subject field(s)
  • Roads
  • Solar Energy
DEF

A road with surfacing material containing photovoltaic cells that convert solar energy into usable electricity.

CONT

The potential appeal of solar roads — modified solar panels that are installed in place of asphalt — is clear. Generating electricity from highways and streets, rather than in fields and deserts packed with solar panels, could conserve a lot of land.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Voies de circulation
  • Énergie solaire
DEF

Route dont le revêtement contient des cellules photovoltaïques convertissant l'énergie solaire en électricité utilisable.

CONT

Dans les régions isolées, où la faible densité de population rend les coûts de raccordement au réseau électrique prohibitifs, la route solaire [...] permettra de créer des infrastructures de production d'énergie locales et pérennes, en circuit court.
