Activity

In 2010 a public-private consortium with TNO, province of Noord-Holland, Ooms Civiel (now part of Strukton) and Imtech Traffic&Infra (now Dynniq) started the joint development of technology to harvest solar energy from road pavements.

Together they built the worlds first bike road with integrated solar panels in 2014, near Amsterdam. This 100 m test road was successful, and from 2017 follow-up pilot projects were built in Blauwestad (NL), Haaksbergen (NL), and two locations in France.

SolaRoad was incorporated in 2018, to develop this technology into commercial, large-scale applicable products.
