  • France and China have developed Photovoltaic roads
  • Photovoltaic highway is constructed using solar panels which have thin sheet of transparent concrete on top of them, protecting the surface.
  • It has wireless charging systems for electric vehicles (EVs).
  • The photovoltaic panels of the highway are built to transfer energy to electric vehicles passing on top of them.
  • The road has three layers viz. bottom layer which is insulator to prevent moisture from getting to photovoltaic devices in middle layer, and top layer has transparent concrete.
