Self-Healing Solar Roads & Highways Patent Pending
[Category : - RENEWABLE ENERGY]
[Viewed 403 times]
The system uses durable solar-embedded panels with a self-healing polymer layer that automatically repairs cracks and surface wear under sunlight and heat cycles. Integrated sensors monitor traffic load, temperature, and output, while built-in micro-grids collect and distribute generated power.
It solves two global problems simultaneously:
1. Infrastructure decay ? Roads are costly to maintain, with billions spent yearly on pothole and crack repair.
2. Energy transition ? Massive open-road areas are wasted real estate that could generate terawatts of clean electricity.
Benefits over existing technologies:
Self-repairing surface reduces maintenance costs by up to 70%.
Solar energy generation turns roads into renewable power farms.
Smart integration with vehicles and grid infrastructure enables EV charging lanes and distributed power supply.
Extreme durability (designed for heavy freight and harsh weather).
This transforms roads from passive assets into active, revenue-generating energy infrastructure.
Financial information
Governments spend over $400 billion annually on road maintenance worldwide. Self-healing polymers can slash this cost dramatically.
Solar roadways, if applied to even a fraction of global paved surfaces, could generate more electricity than current world demand.
The combined market opportunity (infrastructure + renewable energy + EV charging) exceeds $1 trillion globally.
Utilities, governments, and transportation companies can benefit from:
Reduced maintenance expenses (direct financial savings).
New revenue streams by selling surplus solar power to the grid.
Enabling EV growth through in-road charging systems, cutting range anxiety and fueling adoption.
This invention appeals to infrastructure authorities, clean-tech investors, and energy companies alike. By merging road repair and renewable generation into one system, it creates a financially self-sustaining path to the roads of the future.
