China is set to open its first solar motorway that can generate electricity under sunlight.

The two-kilometre-long (1.2 miles) stretch of highway, situated in Jinan, could charge electric cars as they are travelling on it.


The two-lane road could also warm itself up in sub-zero weather to melt the snow on top so drivers could drive on it more safely.

Very thoughtful.
If and only if we can wake from our slumber in Nigeria, we can convert a lot of our bad situations to positives. Imagine when you're coming home from work and Naija sun is grilling you alive. Just take a look at the solar s beside the road and you'll just be smiling. Because you know your sufferings will end as soon as you step into your apartment. All your solar batteries would have been fully charged.
Which way fatherland?? ��

Formed with special weight-bearing solar s, the road can hold medium-size vans and has strong friction.

Once it's completed, the highway would be connected to the power grid so it could provide electricity to the city.

The solar highway is formed with three layers.

The top layer is paved with the so-called 'transparent concrete', which is said to be as strong as the traditional road-surfacing material, asphalt concrete.

The middle layer is the power-generating layer consisting of solar s.

The bottom layer is the insulation layer which separates the photovoltaic system from the damp earth.

Ordinary Roads for naija,potholes don destroy am finish dat one na if the road dey there sef.
Some people go still dey shout APC/PDP/APGA/KOWA/Fresh PDP/Biafra....chai undecidedOur politicians over here would never read about something like this, and even if they do, they would definitely turn a blind eye.There own is just to share budget and loot treasury. What pains me most is that Dino Melaye would definitely visit China and drive a vintage car on that road and even take a picture for the social media with a caption "chilling on the road of life".His hunger-driven maniacs back home would retweet verbages like "gee boss! Keep flying,haters keep hating",whereas the road there own village is a "road to hell".Morocco abeg!quick Ecowas make I roll commot for here.
