On Friday, September 30, the city of Sandpoint, Utah, was expected to provide the first public demonstration of what are called "Solar Roadways" at its town square.
In 2010, Scott Brusaw, an electrical engineer and inventor, demonstrated the concept of a solar road panel and videotaped the event. Not long afterward, representatives from the U.S. Department of Transportation visited Brusaw to learn more about the invention and subsequently gave him a $100,000 grant to continue working on solar road panels. This was followed by two additional DOT grants.
