Solar Cells Along Highways To Generate Power
A promising invention now being tested by Solaroad Technologies,part of a business incubator at Towson University, which collects and stores solar energy, even when it isn't sunny.The idea is to place those cells along highways to generate power for street lights or construction.The circular solar collectors placed along a jersey wall gather much more energy than flat panels, even when its a dim day or at night.This solar cell system has the ability to create electricity when headlights strike these tubes at night.The electrawall also stores what it collects in batteries. The company also wants to market a cube tube, which would be installed on top of a workers cubicle in an office and it would get energy from the florescent lights in the work space.
