Layout of photovoltaic panels on the south-facing slope of the road. Similarly, the optimal tilt angles of PV arrays on the slopes of roads in typical directions could be simulated and derived using PVsyst7.2, and they are shown in Table 2. However, the desirable PV array placement may not always be in the same orientation as the target slope.
To deal with this issue, the concept of photovoltaic (PV) pavement is emerging , . It regards the modified photovoltaic modules as one part of the road structure, equipped with the inherent function of electricity generation and vehicular traffic support. The core advantage of this technology is the non-extra land occupation.
Recommendations for its future development are proposed in six aspects. As an emerging energy harvesting pavement technology, the photovoltaic (PV) pavement, which combines mature photovoltaic power generation technology with traditional pavement facilities, can make full use of the vast spatial resource of roadways.

The solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation system (PGS) is a viable alternative to fossil fuels for the provision of power for infrastructure and vehicles, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing the sustainability of road transport systems.
Moreover, some emerging solar cells, such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) , organic solar cells (OSC) , and perovskite solar cells (PSC) , might be promising and competitive in the PV pavement field with lower cost in the future.
Piezoelectricity is another general technology that cooperated with the PV pavement. In 2012, Selvaraju et al. introduced an auxiliary energy system employing piezoelectric transducers for solar roadways . The optimal location of piezoelectric elements was determined based both on COMSOL analysis and vibration experiment.
