@Stop_Solaroad @eevblog status update #n211 bicycle #solaroad imminent !
Article is delayed, but here is a teaser.....

According to 'models' we've compensated 5137 tonns of #CO2 But something tells me the yield of these #solarpanels are REALLY below the worst expectations.
By car, people are confronted with a number of Tonn's #CO2 savings.
But the real heroes are bicyclists.
Caught in their daily pattern, they go to work.
Driving their bike the same route everyday.
and then, they have to turn right for the ievitable.
the SolarPathway.
Through wind and rain, they face the slippery solaroad, flanked by the solarbench that was made to save the world from damnation. - or at least, that was the intention.

Whoever took this panel had quite differen intentions, i guess. *psst, is anyone in for a cheap panel? 🤪
But lets not get sidetracked, its all for the greater cause right? sustainable power etc.
The bicyclist faces a rough terrain of displaced and damaged solaroad - only the brave will face this challenge.
With Solar-panel debries scattered along the way, the bicyclist ploughs its way through the remnants of what used to be a normal bikepath. Each day a bicyclist survived the path is a gift. For them, there is no alternative.
They have to follow that path. #IsThisTheWay ?
Conclusion: the solar bike path is a total failure. Some things are just not ment to be used as a surface-area for vehicles.

On the road to sustainability, the bicyclist seems to be the biggest victim with this implementation.

Which is -mildly spoken- quite ironic.
Regarding the actual yield of these panels? that's outta my league and wouldnt burn my hands on this. Maybe @eevblog could make sense out of this madness and dares to throw a number on it.
One thing im sure of, the @fietsersbond is probably not amused.
Here are some official numbers regarding the solar bike-path.

Performance : twice as low as expected.
But the product has a prominent place in visibility
No further actions/improvements needed. 😳

Oh, and does anyone know of 80yo solarpanels that still produce power?
Solar roadways - ITS MAGIC!
