In case you haven't heard about it, the solar roadway revolution is on its way.
After a successful proof of concept design and significant start-up support from the Department of Energy, the family-owned startup called Solar Roadways is rapidly moving to the next phase of development.
With a modest goal of raising only $1,000,000 to hire key technical and market support for the development of a market-ready product, the Indiegogo site is reaching a global audience that wants to see this technology a reality.

Solar road could change how we power the world
.
Imagine a world where the roads capture 20% of the sun's energy and convert it to electricity. Imagine the concept of mid-lane electric vehicle charging capability.
This is the kind of freedom that this potential technology offers.
Along with the ability to produce real-time warnings for upcoming hazards, an ability to maintain an ice and snow free roadway surface through heating and the incorporation of tempered glass, by design with a higher wear coefficient than concrete. These roads may be designed to last for more than 20 years.
This is why this concept is so exciting, and this is why over 3,130 people from all over the world have given an average of $50.00 to see it happen.
