France is going to build more than 600 miles of solar-paneled roadways

The project aims to supply electricity to 5 million people—about 8% of France’s population. The first test panels will be constructed this spring. They’re being produced by a French company called Colas, which is calling the project Wattway. 
The panels are composed of stacked photovoltaic cells that “ensure resistance and tire grip.” They also don’t require destruction of existing roadways; instead, they can simply be added on to them.
