The first Solar Roadway installation was in Sandpoint, Idaho, where the inventor lives. Despite only having foot and bike traffic, they were constantly in need of maintenance. They also were often snowed over, needing the inventor or a city employee to clear them off, as the built in heaters that were meant to melt the snow didn't receive enough power from the panels to do so.
It's just another one of those ideas that sounds good when discussing from a high level but once you get into the implementation details, it fails miserably.
