Peachtree Corners, GA paves the way to a green energy future with country's first solar roadway
Peachtree Corners, GA Solar Roadway Green Energy
City officials are working with The Ray to line an autonomous vehicle lane with solar-gathering surfaces from Wattway. Energy gathered from the surface panels will produce 1,300 kilowatt-hours per year. Peachtree Corners uses solar energy to power an EV charging station at City Hall. This low-cost energy solution leads to no-fee charging for EV drivers. Local officials will use the pilot to determine if solar power from roadways could offset additional energy demands.
