A US couple have developed a solar panelled road surface that could concievably produce more than three times the US's annual eclectricity usage. APP OF THE MONTH Electrical engineers Scott and Julie Bru- saw of Sagle, Idaho have developed a form of solar panel that has an awful lot going for it. The proposed idea of paving roads with the hexagonal panels not only suggests a purer form of electrical generation, but also a safer and easily repairable alterna- tive to traditional asphalt. The panels have a whole list of beneficial properties including a self heating system, making them immune to ice, and the capa- bility to carry electrical signals that could replace overhead telephone wires along roadsides, making nationwide Wi-Fi an easily plausible and freely available con- cept. The easily replaceable panels also have built in, self-reliant LEDs that make driving at night much easier and safer. From the Brusaw's calculations, the pan- els more or less pay for themselves. Whilst intelligent solar technology is not cheap, these panels have the potenital to produce enough electricity for the whole of Ameri- ca if their plans come to pass. If the attention and funding continues, this could be a substantial step towards global, renewable energy sources.
