George washington university has completed the world’s first energy producing walkable solar-paneled pathway on the virginia science and technology campus as a part of their sustainable ‘solar walk’ project. The landscaped pedestrian sidewalk boasts a solar-powered trellis by studio39 architecture and 27 slip-resistant semi-transparent photovoltaic glass panels by onyx solar that converts direct sunlight into electricity. The installation is an extension of the public sidewalk, combining an average of 400-watt peak capacity – the maximum amount of power that can be produced under perfect conditions – with enough energy to power 450 LED pathway lights below the surface.
