The first solar road in the world is opening today and it’s not for cars. The road, made with solar cells to generate power, is opening in the Netherlands. It will be for bikes. In fact, 2,000 bicyclists are expected on the road every day. That’s a lot of bike traffic!
If solar roads sound familiar, it’s because a Sandpoint, ID couple has a similar product, and aims to replace traditional asphalt with solar panels encased in glass.
