I don't think that this will ever be practical but I could always be wrong. For one thing, the cost of solar materials alone is more expensive to generate electricity and only have a 10 year useful life. Someone needs to invent better solar materials.
Actual I had the same idea to power electric cars but never dreamed of making the roads out of glass. I assumed that new materials would have to be invented.

Maybe this is something we all should be working on in industry. Makes the current technology for road building look antique.
Certainly beats the national broadband network and would be incorporated into the road's surface.
What a great idea!
