The image of benches shading the panels really says all you need to know.
Literally just put them 2 and a half meters higher so they provide shade for sitting in the bench instead of people shading the panels.
True, they should use benches like these for solar rays to pass through
Solar freakin roadways
Not freakin again.
does anyone know where I can get strong opinions about solar rods?
Oohh, solar roadways, part 4621559
Trailer: they suck, don’t work, and are made by people who have no idea what the fuck they’re doing
For fuck sake!
Put solar on roofs, not where people walk/drive!
Can we please stop wasting resources on this shit?
Can’t they just make it a roof?
Yeah feels already hot from just looking at it
And put some goddamn plants under it.
We need more trees and green areas in cities to shade and cool them down, not more heat soaking open areas that heat them up!
When are they going to learn that solar roads are never going to be practical?
PV Magazine is more or less an outlet for press releases by companies trying to innovate (often in air quotes) with photovoltaics. I’m honestly not even sure why it’s allowed here; it’s completely uncritical. May as well cite a press release on the manufacturer’s website at that point instead of laundering it through a magazine.
never use solar panels for side walks its a stupid idea. and there is a reason why solar panels are placed at angle and not flat on the ground.
Hope the predicted capability is realistic. As previously we’ve seen comparable projects be less so: https://www.dutchnews.nl/2023/07/solar-bike-path-fails-to-meet-electricity-targets-again/
