PV Potential of National Roadways in the Netherlands
The integration of solar PV into existing roadways offers an opportunity to harvest solar energy while maximizing the land utilization.
This work is focused on assessing the potential of a PV power conversion through an optimal use of areas dedicated to roadways in the Netherlands. The main results will include a graphic visualization of the irradiation and DC potential of solar roads in the Netherlands.
