Paving the Solar Roadway to Success

We have some exciting news about one of the participants in GE’s $200 million ecomagination Challenge. Idaho-based Solar Roadways was a popular entry in the first phase of the Challenge; in fact, they received the highest number of Challenge community votes and received the $50,000 Community Award. It turns out the Challenge community knows a good idea when it sees one — Solar Roadways has just received a $750,000 contract from the Federal Highway Administration for the further development of their idea, using roadways to collect and transport energy.

We’d like to extend a hearty congratulations to co-founders Scott and Julie Brusaw, and all the people at Solar Roadways working hard to bring this exciting, innovative idea to life. Be sure to check out the Solar Roadways Prototype on YouTube, and if you’re curious to learn more, check out the Solar Roadways website.
