Sandpoint, Idaho engineer gets research funds to test "intelligent pavement" panels
July 22, 2011 /
Paving U.S. roadways with solar panels could wean the nation off of coal-fired power plants and provide other benefits, too, says a North Idaho electrical engineer.
Scott Brusaw has spent 5 ½ years working on the concept of "intelligent pavement" that generates electricity, acts like a power grid and even melts snow and ice.
This week, his company, Solar Roadways Inc., received a $750,000 research contract from the Federal Highway Administration for a smaller-scale project that could serve as a first step: a solar parking lot.
