A few days ago, the State Council just issued the “Opinions on Accelerating the Comprehensive Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development”, emphasizing the construction of green transportation infrastructure, the construction of a number of low-carbon (near-zero carbon) stations, airports, docks, highway service areas, and the development of photovoltaic along the highway according to local conditions. With this, the photovoltaic + highway mode has once again attracted much attention.
In fact, with the huge existing scale and huge installed demand, the photovoltaic industry also urgently needs to explore more new application scenarios. As one of the “two mountains” of carbon emissions, the need for carbon emission reduction in the transportation sector is urgent, so photovoltaic + transportation is about to happen.
Especially for photovoltaic + highways, since 2022, the national level has issued relevant documents to encourage the layout of photovoltaic power generation along highways and other routes, and at the same time, Sichuan, Shanghai, Hunan and other places have also issued plans this year to promote the application of photovoltaic in highway areas.

It is understood that the sites where the expressway can be arranged with photovoltaics include toll stations and service areas, roofs, carports, slopes, tunnel entrances and exits, and idle unused land.
