Floating Solar Roads oleh Lucas Lee

Floating Solar Roads explores the groundbreaking concept of integrating photovoltaic technology into road surfaces, specifically focusing on floating platforms. This innovative approach aims to revolutionize energy production and transportation systems by creating dual-purpose infrastructure. Imagine roads that not only facilitate travel but also generate clean, sustainable energy, addressing the increasing global demand for renewable energy sources and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

The book delves into the engineering challenges of creating durable, weather-resistant solar road surfaces and examines the environmental impact of floating structures on aquatic ecosystems. The book assesses the technical and economic aspects of floating solar roads, including design considerations, energy storage solutions, and grid integration strategies.

A key focus is on cost-benefit analyses compared to traditional road infrastructure and other renewable energy projects. Floating Solar Roads uniquely emphasizes deploying solar roads on floating platforms, addressing land-use concerns and utilizing water surfaces for energy generation. The book progresses from introducing core concepts to assessing feasibility, considering regulatory frameworks, public acceptance, and necessary technological advancements.
