It's a shame that everyone insists this is a scam!
I've not seem why people say it is, and I've gotten solar panels to work when the sun was not directly on them!
But anyway, I really think the traditional pavement really doe's need to be replaced!
If the solar roads don't work, they should try rubber roads, or flex-seal roads!
Think of it, if theres a bump in a flex-seal road, you can just smooth it out!
