Solar roadways

“Solar Roadways”, located in Sandpoint, Idaho, is working towards manufacturing a modular system of specially engineered solar panels that can be walked and driven upon. The panels use LEDs to create signage without paint and heating elements to remove snow and ice accumulation. Our team is working closely with the staff here at the University of Idaho (U of I) and with this company to ensure the development of Solar Roadway panels that exceeds expectations and hopefully will be installed at the University of Idaho in the near future. We will be updating the information on this page monthly until it is finalized in December of 2018, where we will then hope to share the success of our project.

Problem Statement
Design a more efficient heating element system to improve the Solar Roadway panels as well as complete a portfolio/presentation for University of Idaho Facilities.

Mission Statement
Acquire power generation data and complete economic analysis on Solar Roadway panels.
