“…Another research work by Zhou et al [65,66] focused on the structural performance of PV panel modules. The structural design of PV panel modules is also an important research focus, including new sealant module structures [67]; self-compacting concrete [68]; adding steam chambers, water tanks, and sun visors [21]; hollow structures with water pipes [64]; and methods for mixing fine concrete (such as cement and fine aggregates such as sand) with optical fibers [69]. Toughened glass with a metal frame and moisture-proof layer performs well in terms of load-carrying capacity and cost and is therefore recommended for use [45].…”

Pavement photovoltaic (PV) is an innovative energy-harvesting technology that seamlessly integrates into road surfaces, merging established PV power generation methods with conventional roadway infrastructure. This fusion optimally utilizes the extensive spatial assets inherent in road networks. This paper offers an exhaustive examination of the literature concerning the physical models and performance evaluation of photovoltaic pavements. This study delineates the essential three-tier structure of pavement modules and juxtaposes the advantages and drawbacks of design models across these strata, thereby facilitating the development of more suitable solutions for varying application scenarios. The importance of accommodating fluctuations in shadows and countering the heat island effect (HIE) is emphasized. Nevertheless, the technology remains in its nascent research phase, characterized by challenges associated with limited long-term durability and efficacy. Building upon these findings, this study addresses the challenges confronting pavement PV from three perspectives and outlines future prospects and recommendations for its progression.

“…Thermal investigations have found photovoltaic pavements allow for a 5 °C decrease in the surface temperature and a 1 °C decrease in the AT [ 35 ]. The life cycle cost analysis indicated that the high initial costs are recovered through the revenues of renewable energy production and the additional social and environmental benefits, such as the reduction of 2.15 × 10 7 kg of CO 2 emissions over 1 km for a four-lane road during its life cycle [ 36 ].…”
