# What If We Had Solar Panels on Roadways ?

What if roads and parking lots were solar, fueling enough energy from the sun to power nearby communities as well as electric vehicles? This is not a new idea, we have posted about this a few months ago but it is always nice to promote inovative ideas. I really hope this becomes a reality, it surely would create new jobs. The only issue I see is traction, how can they make solar panel roads not wear over time and become slippery?
