Very interesting my first thought wasnt traction Im sure that would be fine...when its dry but wet...different story

My second thought is that something on a scale this massive is also massively expensive even if each of those heaxagons were only a dollar yer talking a massive amount of outlay for even a small parking lot.

and finally the idea that they can generate enough power on their own to melt the snow/ice that sits on top of them is nonsense so do they expect the excess power to be stored in batteries? youd have to because about 8 of every 24 hrs is total darkness.

Im not saying it isnt feasable but theres a lot of questions and the bottom line is the bottom line...is it economically viable.

I applaud the thinking for sure
