This project is an investigation and feasibility study to replace Asphalt Roadway into Solar Roadway that prepared by Dilshad Mwani who is a senior fellow and Coordinator at MIRS.

An increase in the use of renewable energy resources has been considered as one of the main solutions to reduce the global warming. Different types of renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, ocean and geothermal energy resources are available to employ. Among all these renewable energy resources, solar energy is the only resource available all over the world properly and distributed more constantly. Hence developing technologies to use this solar energy will be the most appropriate at these changeover times.

One such task is the proposition to build roads that have been integrated with photovoltaic cells in order to supply a high performance driving surface while generating renewable electricity. This electricity could then be used by local infrastructure, adjacent buildings, or sold to the electrical grid. In order law to do this there are many challenges that necessitate to be overcome, as these roads cannot be built from traditional road surface materials, and a thorough analysis of many design aspects needs to be seen.
