Amazing Solar Roadways Invention Might Genuinely Change the World

According to the inventor:

Solar Roadways is a mod­u­lar paving sys­tem of solar pan­els that can with­stand the heav­i­est of trucks (250,000 pounds). These Solar Road Panels can be installed on roads, park­ing lots, dri­ve­ways, side­walks, bike paths, play­grounds… lit­er­al­ly any sur­face under the sun. They pay for them­selves pri­mar­i­ly through the gen­er­a­tion of elec­tric­i­ty, which can pow­er homes and busi­ness­es con­nect­ed via dri­ve­ways and park­ing lots.
