Coupled with the traffic flow model, the available solar radiation of roadway network was obtained, which could be applied for solar road laying planning and road photovoltaic production analysis. Later in 2021, the authors proposed an innovative predictive model to assess the potential of photovoltaic roads in China [102] .
Establishing administrative "one-stop shops", developing clear rules and pathways for developers applying for a construction permit, determining strict timeframes for application processing, and public engagement in the identification of land suitable for investment could significantly accelerate solar PV deployment.
At the moment, solar panel manufacturers guarantee their panels for around 25 years, but many expect the current generation of PVs to still have 75% efficiency long past that. It is rare for a panel to fail or develop a fault before that time, though there is usually a very slow output degradation.
