Jinan, is about to be demolished, and a recent post has raised concerns about this "glorious" red road. From the suspected theft of photovoltaic panels to the problem of breakage cracks, the opening of more than eight months, the controversial photovoltaic highway what happened and where to go? In this regard, the paper conducted a field investigation and exclusive dialogue with the photovoltaic highway core research and development personnel.
Zhang Xuan said that they did not want to demolished photovoltaic pavement, but upgrading. It seems that the surface of the panel is damaged, the problem is not in fact the surface, mainly truck heavy pressure and rainwater intrusion force changes, "PV module itself shows good bearing capacity and power generation function, paved to the road field test, let us discover that there are other damage forms than components." So they first remove the photovoltaic panels and lay them up again from the bottom asphalt, and then they will be installed again.
Zhang Xuan revealed that the south-around-the-city road condition is more complex, the site of the test road is here to analyze the response of photovoltaic pavement under different stress surface and different environment. "We want to find problems and adjust them as soon as possible on complex roads, taking into account various factors, so that the technology can mature faster."
