Solar pavements: A critical review

A solar pavement is a new multi-functional pavement that uses a solar photovoltaic power generation layer to replace the traditional asphalt or cement concrete pavement or directly paves the solar photovoltaic power generation layer on the existing asphalt or cement concrete pavement surface as the pavement. It was first proposed by Scott and

Photovoltaic Basics (Part 1): Know Your PV Panels for Maximum

In a photovoltaic panel, electrical energy is obtained by photovoltaic effect from elementary structures called photovoltaic cells; each cell is a PN-junction semiconductor diode constructed so that the junction is exposed to light and unpolarized. In the PN junction, the P side is abundant with atoms of trivalent elements and the N side is rich in pentavalent impurities;

Photovoltaic road pavements as a strategy for low-carbon urban

Several studies demonstrated that green roofs combined with photovoltaic (i.e., PV) panels can reduce AT by almost 3 °C [20, 21]. Nevertheless, photovoltaic canopies guarantee a reduction of 13.2 °C in AT over the shaded pavement compared to the adjacent fully exposed one [22].

Comparative study and performance assessment of solar energy

Several pavement-integrated solar energy harvesting modules have been proposed, including pavement-integrated photovoltaic (PIPV) module, pavement-integrated solar thermal (PIST) module, and pavement-integrated photovoltaic thermal (PIPVT) module. The PIPV module is a combination of the conventional asphalt pavement and the PV panel. Hence,
