Solar Roadways: The Prototype

**Hot News: Solar Roadways WINS the GE Ecomagination Challenge. 000 prize! j.mp A big thanks to all who voted for the idea! The Solar Roadways project is working to pave roads with solar panels that you can drive on. Co-founder Scott Brusaw has made some major steps forward since our first visit back in 2007, so we visited him again earlier this year for an exclusive update on the project, including the first ever video recorded of the Solar Roadways prototype! For more information visit www.solarroadways.com . This Solar Roadway project will be featured in the upcoming feature film by YERT – Your Environmental Road Trip.

Sun Tracking Solar Panel w/ Arduino

I had some little solar panels laying around and wanted to see if they would power the Arduino. They did. So, I wanted to see if I could make a sun tracking circuit to autonomously follow the sun throughout the day. So I did. Here is the result. If you wanna try it, you can download at: code.google.com … The code is not perfect or commented. Enjoy
