France bets big on unproven technology. France spent 5 2 million on 0 6 miles of road and 30 000 square feet of solar panels. The roadway is just one kilometre 0 6mi long but that still works. France has opened what it claims to be the world s first solar panel road in a normandy village.

The world s first solar road is here in the small village of tourouvre au perche in normandy france.
