France planning to pave 1,000 km of road with solar panels

The video discusses thick wattway solar panels that use photovoltaic cells to collect solar energy through polycrystalline silicon. These panels are glued to road surfaces and can withstand heavy vehicles. They are exposed to sunlight most of the time, generating electricity for street lights, road signs, and buildings. A small section of solarized road can power a household, while a kilometer can supply a town of 5000 people. The plan could potentially provide electricity for 5 million people, covering 8% of France's population.
