AndyHnl https://padlet.com/kbaker91/dy6zg7v05sne/wish/333967099 I just found this intersing article about how little output the roads put out, even witht the benefits that come with it, the price is insane.

https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/277678-solar-roads-officially-suck

So I think that it might be better to do a bridge with solar pannels on the top and possible on the sides. If we still wanted the benefit of melting snow/ice, then there are ways to add a heating system to asphalt, concreat ect...

This week we need to research what TYPE of solar  panels are the best (most efficient, price, etc.) Then we can look into what companies could supply us with that type. 
Also, since we are doing research and voting on the solar roads on Thursday as well, we can take longer for our group research project this week.]]> 2019-03-15 15:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kbaker91/dy6zg7v05sne/wish/341812970 Solar roads on the bridge bethanyw1 https://padlet.com/kbaker91/dy6zg7v05sne/wish/342563096 The total cost for solar roads on the surface of the bridge, (according to the dimensions of the bridge) would be:

This is the link to Conductive Concrete for bridge decking and de-icing
(Also known as the report the company submitted to Nebraska state)

Look at pages:
15, figure 2.1
Pages 138-139
Pg. 142 de-icing experiments
In the abstract (Pg. vi), on the first page, last paragraph.
Last, scroll through all of the references and pass all of the charts until you see a section in BOLD, right before the table of contents.
