Abstract
A vehicle for gathering solar energy into a roadway system electricity grid. In one embodiment of the invention, the vehicle comprises an energy storage system; and at least one solar energy generating device coupled to the vehicle. The at least one solar energy generating device is configured to generate electricity from sunlight. The at least one solar energy generating device is configured to electrically connect to a roadway system electricity grid. In another embodiment of the present invention is a method for a vehicle gathering solar energy and providing the same to the roadway system electricity grid. The method comprises the step of harnessing solar energy from a vehicle-based solar energy gathering device; converting solar energy into electrical energy; storing the electrical energy; and discharging the stored electrical energy to a roadway system electricity grid.
