According to the obtained results, the highway solar energy potential in China is 3,932 TW. Fig. 9 shows that cities with high highway solar energy potential is mostly located in the northwest, north, and south-central parts of China.
By 2020, the mileage of Chinese highway was 143,684 km and the area was 3,957 km 2. The installed capacity and power generation of PV highways in China are 700.85 GW and 629.06 TWh, respectively. Installing photovoltaic (PV) modules on highways is considered a promising way to support carbon neutrality in China.
The highway, in the capital of the northeastern Shandong province, is said to handle 10 times more pressure than a normal asphalt road. It can generate 1 million kWH of electricity in one year, used to power street lights and a road snow-melting system.
Generally, the intensity of solar radiation received by a highway is low around sunrise and sunset. Therefore, the potential of solar energy lost during these periods is small, even if the highway is shadowed by surrounding terrain. 4.3. Assessment of the solar energy potential of highways in China
According to the findings of this research, PV highways in China offer a significant amount of PV potential. However, PV highways are not yet being promoted or used to a large extent at this time. Installing PV panels on highway surfaces is associate with many technical challenges that need to be overcome.
France boasted the world’s first solar panel road in late 2016, but that only covered half the area of the Chinese version. While the Netherlands built a solar bike path in 2014. According to state-run CCTV, the Jinan expressway has unique features and strength.
