Descripción

The aim of the project is to develop a new solar energy storage system in the Smart City environment composed of a new concrete battery. The approach is to take advantage of the large amount of pavement that currently exists in Spanish cities to provide a new stretch of road with a dual function:

  1. To serve as a common pavement for an urban street or square.
  2. To store energy to power some Smart City applications such as streetlights, ticketing platforms, traffic lights or similar.
