    Excellent idea, smartly and beautifully executed. Thank you

    The parked car is covering the majority reflective pearls.
  • Solar carports at the workplace would allow for commuter EV’s to have a positive effect on the grid in most places.
  • Thank you for your video. I had a similar idea with similar panels. But was just going to use crushed quartz rock. Is this recycled glass more affordable and as equally healthy for the environment ? TIA

    But, it is a carport, the ground will be covered, unless this is used at home and the car is driven to work during the day? Also, that glass will be tracked away in no time, look at the cars tires already. Best just to use while stone or rock, or just put up 10% more panels if the area underneath will have cars parked during the day.

    This is a pretty good Setup. Sadly those Solar Panels that you are actually allowed to use as a "roof" need to be special, extremely expensive and less efficient ones, at least here in Germany. You aren't allowed to use just any Bifacial Glass-Glass Panels. As to that "glass Pearl" flooring...I think that's some serious over-engineering. Just use some light grey stones or concrete and you are most of the way there. Having a hyper reflective floor will likely not be ideal for the people actually using the Carport and the actual gains will also be moderate, since you will often have a car parked in there anyway

    How does it get energy from the reflective pearls ?
