Solar roadway system and method
A modular solar roadway/railway system (MSRS) and method (MSRM) utilizing interlocked solar/optical collection panels (SCP) having stacked solar collection strips (SCS) is disclosed. The SCS are configured with an optical input surface (OIS) configured to collect solar energy and a road support surface (RSS) configured to support automobile traffic. The SCS are stacked in an anti-symmetrical alignment pattern that allows solar energy to be efficiently collected while simultaneously supporting automobiles and other vehicles. The SCS as formed within the SCP are configured with a matrix of bottom photovoltaic cell cavities (PCC) that permit the SCP to be mated to a road/railway surface while simultaneously integrated with solar cells in the PCC for the generation of electricity. The MSRS may be configured in a flexible SCP array in rolled sheet form (RSF) suitable for installation via the use of a vehicle equipped with axial support for the RSF.
