The SolaRoad was the world's first bike path made from solar panels, and was a prototype project testing the feasibility of various proposals for smart highways. The 72-metre (236 ft) path opened in the week of 21 October 2014,[3] and was designed by a consortium of organizations, which built the pathway in Krommenie, Netherlands.[4][5]
The path was formally opened in November 2014 by the Dutch Minister of Energy Henk Kamp.[6]
By January 2020, extensive damage was apparent on the path, which had led to the installation of a sign warning of 'Bad Road Surface' (Dutch: Slecht Wegdek).[7] The path was removed in November 2020 and is considered a failure.[1][2]
