France’s ‘Wattway’ Solar Road Set To Power Millions Of Homes – The world’s 1st ever photovoltaic road surface – What If We Redesigned the Grid From Nothing?

France may be on the verge of an environmental revolution with the country’s planned 1,000-kilometre solar panel road, the Wattway http://www.wattwaybycolas.com/en/ .

French infrastructure firm Colas recently won a "Climate Solutions Award" at the COP21 UN Climate Change conference for their Wattway project, developed in partnership with the French National Institute of Solar Energy.

Wattway is a patented French innovation that is the fruit of 5 years of research undertaken by Colas, world leader in transport infrastructure, and the INES (French National Institute for Solar Energy).

By combining road construction and photovoltaic techniques, Wattway pavement provides clean, renewable energy in the form of electricity, while allowing for all types of traffic.
