A big step in to the future: The first solar street in the world. VIDEO

The world's first solar street was commissioned in the province of Normandy in north-eastern France.

One kilometer of road was paved with solid solar panels  (2,800 square meters of solar tiles) that produce energy.

Photovoltaic panels were glued on a stretch of one kilometer and should generate energy for public lighting of a small town with about 5,000 inhabitants.






The cost of solar street is 5 million, being borne entirely by the French State. One such project was opened in the Netherlands, where a bicycle track produce energy.
