The solar road map discloses the potential of solar road technology and could serve for advisory and counselling public and private Sectors. The map is a useful tool for recognizing the optimal sites in terms of irradiation, traffic shading, PV technology, and, cost.
The solar resource level (on the surface of the pavement) and K (on the surface of the road facilities) are marked in color on the road design drawings. The location and power of REC are counted, and those are characterized by drawing the RECC.
The results indicate that there are abundant solar resources within the road area. It demonstrates that solar resources could accurately characterized and error reduced to 50 kWh/m 2 by using a 500 m long road segment. Additionally, the exploitability index was proposed to evaluate the magnitude of road area.
The proposed planning strategy promotes the optimization of the siting and deployment of road photovoltaic systems. This study provides technical support for low-carbon energy supply in highways, contributing to sustainable development and net zero emissions in transportation. Nomenclature Power of the i th RECC (W).
Planning for the road PV energy system considering consumption self-sufficient rate. The maximum PV power generation of 1400.5 kWh realized by self-sufficient model. The integration of energy and transportation is a prerequisite for ensuring a rational, practical, and sustainable evolution of energy conservation.
Furthermore, the recycling and utilization of solar energy on highways have become a novel concept in the field of renewable electricity. Road areas, encompassing both the pavement and the surrounding land, offer abundant solar resources.
