Remember 📺 Solar FREAKIN’ Roadways? Practical & real vs. utter nonsense.
haha Chinese engineers also figured out that putting solar panels over the high way instead of having them being destroyed by traffic works a lot better :) https://www.innovationnewsnetwork.com/solar-panel-roofs-on-highways-could-slash-global-carbon-emissions/49928/
Interesting, the startup costs would be much larger; however considering there is less wear this investment will pay off quite quickly.
Relatedly, something I’ve long suspected since flying over California: Solar on canals reduces water evaporation by 70%
Yeah makes sense, I really love how solar tends to be complimentary with environmental preservation. As the world gets hotter, creating more shaded areas will be useful.
what is up with that garbage website?

I wonder how this compares to standalone panels on a roof. Probably less efficient, but maybe more cost efficient if you include the price for (re)roofing
Mhh…plastic roofs?
