Sustainable Business reports the short stretch of bike path has produced already more power than anticipated. The 230-foot stretch has produced 3, 000 kilowatt-hours of power,
The project developers believe about 20%of the country roads would be suitable for solar panel installations.
A somewhat different approach in the U s. Idaho-based Solar Roadways has been working on a similar goal paving roads and other surfaces with solar panels.
Solar Roadways secured an $850, 000 Federal Highway Administration grant for a pilot project and it managed to raise $2. 2 million in a crowdfunding effort last year.
Solar Roadways developed its first road panel in 2009 and with the help of additional grants, finished up an experimental solar-paneled parking lot last year.

Increasingly, Sarah Goodyear reports for The Atlantic cities, suburbs throughout the United states are investing in bicycle infrastructure.

#Smart Highway: Solar power Bike path Opens In Netherlands This Week On November 12, 2014, The netherlands will proudly open up the world first public solar powered road.
The smart highway connects the Amsterdam suburbs of Krommenie and Wormerveer. According to the Guardian, nearly 2000 cyclists ride the bike path every day.
Now, in addition to providing an easy path for commuters, the bike path will also provide energy to the town.
Collective-Evolution notes that the solar panels embedded in the concrete bike path are not as efficient as panels installed on homes
because they cannot be adjusted to the position of the sun. Of course, the solar panels on the smart highway cover about 75 yards of roadway which is slightly more than you can fit on a roof.
The netherlands TNO research institute also gave the road a nonadhesive finish and built it at a slight tilt
in order to keep it clean and give the road maximum exposure. The road will be expanded to a little over 100 yards by 2016
and will be able to produce enough energy to power three homes. The smart highway, officially called Solaroad by TNO, is just the beginning of Netherland solar transition.
The institute said that about 20%of Netherland roads could be converted to smart highways. The Solaroad may be the first solar-powered bike path
but it will soon have company. In 2009, two US engineers, Julie and Scott Brusaw, received a contract from the Federal Highway Administration to build a prototype in the United states
. If you happen to speak Dutch, you can check out a video about the Solaroad here.
