You're missing the point.. The big lobbyist don't hate solar because it's clean energy, they hate it because if you put it on your house they can't charge you a monthly fee.
If every house in the country had a thousand or two watts of solar sitting on their roofs suddenly the energy companies would be up shit creek.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

Actually I was very surprised at how much solar there is in New Orleans. There obviously must be some sort of subsidy program going on there, because just driving around some of the neighborhoods it would often be 50% or more of the houses that I'd see solar on the roofs.
Meanwhile here in New Mexico a place you have to be a fool not to have solar, I see almost none. Honestly this amazes me more than anything. If you live in NM, AZ, NV or really anywhere in the south west you could easily run a house on solar and be grid free yet I see very little solar here.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

And you think that the oil companys would allow this ?
I mean solar roads that come with solar cars ?
The technology has been out there for years, theres reasons why it has not really gone public ...We are looking for CAM Sites where our Colombian Models can work.

great idea i will let ya know when my backyard is setComment

Great idea, whether we ever get to see it in widespread practice is probably down to those who's pockets would be affected by it's implementation.Comment

im in canada, and was floored by how many houses / businesses had them.
they had whole.. 'contraptions'... that had full rotation on seaside shops/restaurants.. but looks like someone built it at home based off mats.. best we have in vancouver is random pedestrian crosswalks with attached solar panels, and the odd enthusiast.
Interesting to hear about NO.. guess utilized due to the disaster?
anyway, it is just my opinion on a 2 week trip.. but it was the one main thing i remember.
something should happen.. one of the first things i did when getting back was start looking into it lolLast edited by _Richard_; 05-23-2014, 12:40 PM.Comment

Great idea! Would love to see it executed, but there are many companies out there that will lobby against this, as well it would take a LONG time to even make a dent in the roadways.Comment

You are right yet again. Best to not even try, right man? Give up! Thats what they should do. The nerve of some people trying to make the world a better place.
Solar Panels on cars would not work very well because the panels need to take up alot of space to charge a car's batteries in a reasonable time. If roads were solar, the energy they capture could charge cars while they drive on it via Induction.
The technology has been around for a long time but its getting cheap enough to do more and more things with.

Won't glass and oil create quite a slippery surface?Comment

The panels are in the $1/watt threshold now, so they are not very expensive to buy them outright.You are right yet again. Best to not even try, right man? Give up! Thats what they should do. The nerve of some people trying to make the world a better place.

As far as panels on cars.. it's just not gonna happen because the car body would have the panels at all different angles.
Now my Telsa idea was to use their battery/drive system and build a AWD van like the old school VW Westy's. You could fit probably 500w on the roof which wouldn't keep it charged as a closed loop system, but 500w is enough to charge the batteries back up a pretty good amount.
With something like that, you could drive the car to work doing a average commute and then leave the car parked in the sun charging. By the end of the day it would probably be fully charged again. Meaning it's not going to be enough solar to keep you driving forever, but it would add quite a bit of supplement charging for the average city dweller.
Something like that could very well work in the southern states of the US where there is a lot of sunny days. It would however have to be some sort of van or SUV to get enough flat roof space for the solar.Last edited by crockett; 05-23-2014, 01:18 PM.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment
