What will an earthquake do to a Solar Roadway?
While we haven’t had a chance to test it yet, we understand that an earthquake can be catastrophic for a road of any type. Basically, any such force that could destroy an asphalt or concrete road would have a similar result with a Solar Roadway. Power will not be lost however: only the damaged panels near the fault line will stop producing. As scientists get better at predicting earthquakes, the Solar Roadways could be used as a warning system and could help direct traffic away from an earthquake area.
