EEVblog #681 - More Solar Roadways BULLSHIT!

Dave yet again debunks Solar (Freaking) Roadways. This time the prototype SolaRoad solar cycleway path installed in Amsterdam in Netherlands. Dave shows how to go about doing ballpark engineering feasibility calculations for such a project, calculates the expected payback period, and SPOILER, shows why Solar Roadways will never be a viable technology. This time using real measured data from the Netherlands cycleway prototype, and real measured solar insolation data for the Netherlands Links: 1st Video: https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/obS6TUVSZds Live output data from Dave's 3Kw solar roof system http://pvoutput.org/list.jsp?userid=22501 http://www.solaroad.nl Newsletter: http://www.solaroad.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Artikel-SolaRoad-BU2013.pdf Solaroads press release: http://www.solaroad.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/PressReleaseSolaRoadOpened_21Oct.pdf Road Construction Costs: http://www.worldbank.org/transport/roads/cm_docs/kmcosts.pdf Road network lengths: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/themes/sustainable/studies/doc/2008_road_infrastructure_costs_and_revenues.pdf Average Household Energy Consumption: http://www.eci.ox.ac.uk/research/energy/downloads/countrypictures/cp_netherlands.pdf Price Per Watt for solar panels: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_per_watt PV System installation costs: http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy13osti/56776.pdf Solar Irradiance / Insolation data: http://solarelectricityhandbook.com/solar-irradiance.html Electricity prices for households: http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/File:Electricity_prices_for_household_consumers,_first_half_2013_%281%29_%28EUR_per_kWh%29_YB14.png Sunpower P18 solar panel: http://hvce.com/admin/content/uploads/Sunpower230.pdf Forum: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-681-more-solar-roadways-bullshit!/ EEVblog Main Web Site: http://www.eevblog.com The 2nd EEVblog Channel: http://www.youtube.com/EEVblog2 Support the EEVblog through Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/eevblog EEVblog Amazon Store (Dave gets a cut): http://astore.amazon.com/eevblogstore-20 Donations: http://www.eevblog.com/donations/ Projects: http://www.eevblog.com/projects/ Electronics Info Wiki: http://www.eevblog.com/wiki/
