Caltrans will explore SolaRoad technology which implements the use of solar panels in roadway projects and has been successfully implemented in a project in Krommenie, The Netherlands.

The two-way cycling lane that connects Krommenie and Wormerveer, two suburbs of Amsterdam, is the test section for SolaRoad. The goal is to eventually convert all roads, even those driven by cars and other vehicles, to solar roadways. According to the SolaRoad’s official website, if all U.S. roads were paved with solar panels, the country would produce three times as much energy as it uses today and cut CO2 emissions by 75 percent.
