China on Thursday opened a 1-km section of the world’s first solar expressway for testing.
Solar panels are laid beneath part of a ring road surrounding Jinan, capital city of Shandong Province in east China. The road surface is made of a transparent, weight-bearing material that allows sunlight to penetrate.
The panels, covering 5,875 square meters, can generate 1 million kwh of power in a year, enough to meet the everyday demand of around 800 households, according to Qilu Transportation Development Group, the project developer.
“The project will save the space for building solar farms and shorten the transmission distance,” said Xu Chunfu, the group’s chairman.
Electricity produced by the test section will be used to power highway lights, signboards, surveillance cameras, tunnel and toll gate facilities. Surplus power will be supplied to the state grid, Xu said.
Future functions to be developed include mobile charging for electric vehicles and providing internet connection.
Xu did not reveal the cost but said it was half of similar projects in foreign countries.
“With the development of solar power in China, the cost can be further reduced,” he said.
China leads the world in solar power development. Its annual increase of new installed generation capacity has been the largest in the world since 2013. As of the end of September, China’s installed photovoltaic capacity hit 120 gigawatts.

I laugh at Africans especially Nigerians who think they can achieve the development being seen in Europe America and Asia by being optimistic only.


These nations invest heavily on Research & Development in order to better their lives through more jobs and cheaper goods/services.


Nigeria, under the Yoruba Hausa Fulani people will always remain backwards because they don't value Research & Development unlike the Biafrans.


Under Jonathan, Igirigi battle car was developed and now being exported.

Under Ojukwu, the whites realized that their useless theory that Blacks can't achieve anything was nullified when indigenous technologies sprang up.


Which special innovation or invention was developed under Obasanjo YarAdua and now Buhari.? None.


Ordinary refining of crude oil, the educated illiterates called Buhari & Osibanjo can't achieve in order to keep prices of petrol down.

and the likes of NgeneUkwenu, Alariiwo, Danladi7, python1, oodualover, ImperialYoruba etc are here defending dullardry with all their might.

So long Nigeria remains in d Shackles of Hausa/Yoruba Sorry, Nigeria Ain't Go no where
