Quite a few of us have been cursing the sun for burning into our skin and scorching our lives this summer. So to keep the sun away and cool you down, designer Tyson Steele came up with a design of a Solar Arch to cover roads. Well, keeping the sun at bay isn’t all that the Solar Arch system does. It also generates electricity that can be used to power up highway lighting and satisfy the electricity needs of areas nearby. And when the weather changes and the sun hides away, the Solar Arch comes handy yet again, by helping reduce icing problems in winter. The designs have been compiled with AASHTO Standards for US interstate bridges and passageways with a ground clearance of over 18 feet and have a width of 40 feet with 10 feet long sections. The Solar Arch will be a welcome addition to roadways around today.
