Solar Earth Technologies

Solar Earth Technologies (SET) was founded in July 2015 in Vancouver Canada by a group of scientists, engineers, energy and roadway experts, and entrepreneurs each with a successful track record in their respective fields and fueled with passion and vision to make future infrastructures more sustainable and livable. The company develops critical ma... terials, modules, and process know-how for solar roads an emerging industry sector that paves driveways, walkways, parkways, bike paths, and highways with photovoltaic (PV) materials, thereby transforming road surfaces into a site for dependable, accessible, and affordable clean electricity production and consumption. Such PV-enabled roadways (solar roads) also makes traditional roadways more efficient, smart, and safe. For countries such as Canada with substantial infrastructure deployed in high latitude areas, solar-powered roadways offer a unique opportunity to improve the quality of road services in cold weathers. SET is developing a network of research labs to resolve interdisciplinary challenges across materials, pavement engineering, and energy technology.Read More
