I was really excited by the idea. At least it was interesting.

When I first saw the video Freakin Solar Roadways... I came across with the first problem. The solar panels produce DC... which it's really bad for transport energy, then you could transform it to high voltage AC. So I'm ok with it but then you will need wires and wires. So immediately I supposed that it won't scale to a Roadway system.

So in a second thought probably it will work for sidewalks and parking lots and maybe if you could storage the power then use for street lighting. At this point for me this idea will work in the cities only. But then put solar panels in buildings sounds more cost/effective (and way more efficient). So I wasn't sure anymore at this point.

The video pointed to me some other flaws. And now meh.
