If they ever did get a solar roadway panel work correctly, how far could the power practically be transmitted?
Looks like our mate Scott is taking out the stuff from the panel box, and the hole has been filled with sand.Doesn't make sense if they are just replacing the panels.https://twitter.com/BookSwapSteve/status/1174113949178126336
A couple of articles regarding the construction work.http://sandpointreader.com/solar-roadways-unveils-a-new-model/https://www.kxly.com/news/solar-roadways-installing-updated-road-panels-in-downtown-sandpoint/1122907483
Three years later, Solar Roadways is updating the demo with its SR4 model, which is designed to produce 50 watts, compared to the previous 36 watts.
Its back with new more efficient tiles with only half the number of sides.
Wouldn't a triangle (compared to hexagon) be a worse shape to be covered with square solar panels?There are also more individual panels for the same area - more connections to go bad.
More connections yes but what you can't do with square panels is cover an uneven terrain. In that respect choosing for triangles is a good idea.

In that respect choosing for triangles is a good idea.While it's true that triangles can cover uneven surface, if all you have is a bunch of equilateral triangles, you can only cover flat surface. For 3D contours, you need all sorts of different triangles.
It's BAAAAACK! (Attachment Link)
