Apparently solar panels aren t just for roofs anymore.
There is a solar bike lane which runs 20 miles approximately 32 kilometres from the city of daejeon to the city of sejong.
Running right through a regular highway between the cities the bike lane which is also accompanied with three lanes of traffic on either side has been roofed with solar panels throughout the highway.
In the netherlands a solar bike lane has fared much better exceeding the expected energy production.
Right in the middle of a highway is interesting placement for a bicycle lane.
The solar panel bike lane consists of several illuminated units that emit led light in soft twinkles and glows.
That dutch solar panel bike lane really works.
Solaroad has operated for a year and produced more power than expected.
It s tough to make cycling any greener but the dutch have done just that with a bike lane that powers street lights and even houses.
What makes the installation of these solar panels on the bike lane truly remarkable is the multifaceted benefits that it provides to the drivers on the highway.
A solar panel road is also being tested near amsterdam s schiphol airport.
