A modular system of hexagonal solar panels installed five columns by six rows on a wide wet sidewalk. The panels are dark gray and black, flush with the ground and use light configuration in the first, third and fifth row to give information to drivers. It was nighttime when this photograph was taken showing lights reflected in puddles of water and the bottom of young narrow tree trunks.

Solar Roadways Panels, 2018

This is a Solar Roadways Panels. It was designed by Solar Roadways. It is dated 2018. Its medium is glass, circuit boards, solar cells, cables. It is a part of the department.

Solar Roadways is a modular system of solar panels that transforms street surfaces into smart, energy-generating infrastructure. LED lights create lines and signage without paint so that streets can easily change lane configurations to maximize traffic flow. Microprocessors allow the panels to communicate with each other and connected vehicles—by flashing messages to drivers alerting them to cyclists and vehicles they may not have seen, the panels could make streets safer for people using all modes of transportation.

A colorful city bus with stripes in blue, green, yellow, and orange with large square windows is stopped at the side of the road. In front of the bus is a square marked on the road, within which there is another smaller octagonal square labeled 'WAVE.' There are three orange arcs depicting the wireless symbol to the right of the word. A gray pick-up truck is parked across the empty street in front of tall trees.

A sleek, black canopy with a flat top appears formed from a single, long rectangular sheet in the shape of an upside-down 'U'. It features an attached bar-height table platform that forms a brace across the middle of the canopy. Matching black bar chairs are on both sides of the bar table. The chairs have a low back and seat with a wide horizontal slit pattern and long, slim legs. The canopy sits on a gray walkway surrounded by greenery: ferns, daisies, hydrangeas, and flowering trees.
