A solar road  is a road whose top layer of pavement is made of  photovoltaic panels. The history of this idea of ​​using solar panels on the road network dates back to the . At this time a couple of Americans created the company Solar Roadways. Solar Roadways Incorporated is an American company headquartered in Sandpoint, Bonner County in the US state of Idaho. Those who develop road signs that produce solar energy to form a smart road. In May  Solar Roadways unveiled an ambitious project to build the first solar road in the United States and America. The first stage of the highway was inaugurated in October  and is already known as the largest failure in the country. Since it does not produce energy and of its panels are already damaged.

However, these experiments are being carried out in several countries for very small sections of road. And successful solar road projects are already known, for example: The first solar road: The first solar track was developed from solar panels for the bicycle course . The Solar Road  company carried out the test on October , in  in the Netherlands. The road was officially opened in November Phone Number List by the Dutch Minister of Energy, Henk Kamp. Solar road project in France: After experiments in different locations as pilot tests, it was inaugurated in Orne, France. A solar road project in a  section and its presentation to the population was in December . A dimension of   of solar panels on the road produces the equivalent of the public lighting of a city of  thousand inhabitants.



However, the solar highway project is criticized regarding energy efficiency and construction costs .It is considered very high since  million euros were invested. Likewise, it generates uncertainty due to the long-term resistance it may have and its resistance to heavy transport traffic and climatic variations (specifically in winter). In Monaco: The energy path of tomorrow. The government of Monaco carried out a project called the “energy path of tomorrow”, this construction generates instantaneous electrical power:  daily production: a cumulative production since the start-up of  In China:  solar road. In China,  Transportation Development Group has opened a two-kilometer solar road. This road is a fast expressway on the south side of Jinan city, capital of Shandong province, China.
