Solar Roadways

I am reading a solar news regarding the release of fund from U.S. DOT proposing to replace roads with solar panels.I cannot believe it! If this project will be successful it would be a good news for us who are working in a solar company.But how solar work if it was covered by snow ?lol.I believe United States have terrible snow for a couple of months.This is an intelligent work.The road will be embedded with heating element in the surface to prevent snow and ice build up providing for faster winter driving.Replacing of asphalt road and parking lots into solar roadway panels will a major step toward halting climate change aside from that the road can sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to slow down.The fully electric vehicles can recharge energy along the roadway and parking lots.This is really great project!
