Solar Roadways generates ~10 CENTS per day (Patreon)

It cost somewhere between $75000 to 500 000 to install, and generates ~10 cents of electricity per day.  Sad thing is, if they'd just put a regular solar instillation on the roof of their toilets, it would have provided return on investment in ~10 years.  Solar roadways will not do that for at least 2000 years, maybe 10 000 years.  Those are tough numbers when you consider the typical lifetime of a road is 20 years, and the lifetime of a solar panel is about the same.  Well maybe in 4017 they will have the last laugh!

Im planning to have a patrons hangout next sunday.  Details to follow :-)

Solar Roadways generate ~10 CENTS per day!!

Yup, you can see their power generation directly here: https://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/pv/public_systems/V3vh1173801 I took a lot of grief when I first put up the solar roadways video, how I just wasnt being open minded enough. Well now the numbers are in on their first installation, and guess what... its pathetic.

Nice! But at 15:50 there is a thingy: You are saying "half a billion/ five hundred million" and the screen is showing "500.000.000.000 " which is 500 billion, if I'm correct. Maybe put an annotation on the screen there.

Nice to be getting some figures to support the obvious. Why would people think that this amateur American couple are the first to consider this application given that photovoltaic panels have been around for many decades? Given the mahusive size of the market if this concept was a valid one, do they really not think that one of the big solar panel companies would not have had the teensie bit of imagination to get there first? Where is the new technology? Nowhere; it is just a 'reboxing' of existing stuff in a conceptually poor manner. Perhaps they are the same people who think the 'internet of things' is actually an advancement in technology and not just a desperate marketing ploy to sell more landfill. Even if solar roadways was purely a political green bandwagon, the politicians who went for it should have realised they would get egg on their faces before the end of their terms. Silly them. Keep educating, Thunderf00t. I consider my patreon donation a tax to fund STEM education in a far more effective way than many western schools.
