1. Introduction
These days solar panel have been a long reliable green energy source that is emergence of
solar road technologies. Dark bituminous pitch with sand or gravel or else asphalt will not be
required in this road. The aim of the report id to identify the time, cost and scope of “Solar
highways or photovoltaic roads about a live project in China”. This type of roads till date is not
prepared but proposed by the technical experts. The background of the project is elaborated in
this report along with project objectives, scope and acceptance criteria.
Apart from that, the other things those are also illustrated in this report include
stakeholder register, project team and project charter along with constraints, technical
requirements and statement of work. A work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Gantt chart, priority
matrix is also developed in this paper. It is determined that, if a solar road is successfully
constructed then solar energy will be easily stored in the roadway and the electric car driving will
become easier and no such external electricity requirements. The other needful assumptions are
also considered in this paper along with verification scope change and change control boards
with thee responsibilities.
1.1 Background of the project
Solar roadway is a connected and series of structurally engineered solar panel those are
all driven ahead. The idea of solar roadway will be completely replaced by the current petroleum
based roads, parking lots etc. The future of theses roadways are comprises of solar roadways
those take energy effective as well as AI into consideration. The need and usage of fossil fuel
will be completely replaced if solar power energy is used in the photovoltaic project. The amount
of greenhouse gas emission will be reduced as soon as solar road panel will be designed and

developed. The clean energy booms, spurring private investment of massive scale are created
with the solar roadways technologies.
1.2 Project objectives
 To design and develop a structurally engineered road that would be able to store
solar energy within the design layers
 To develop an energy efficient road that would reduce the greenhouse gas
emission rate
 To enable electric car driving by taking electric energy from the solar energy
stored in the roads
1.3 Deliverables
Successful accomplishment of “Solar highways or photovoltaic roads about a live
project in France” will help to store solar energy in their layers which means it will avoid the
usage of non-renewable resources such as natural gas, fossil fuel, nuclear energy etc. The
requirement of this project is based on only renewable sources. The construction of such solar
panel road can store solar energy within it. It converts the solar energy into electric energy.
These roads only enable electric cars to drive and no other cars. The electric cars do not require
any external energy because the road generates the needful energy itself. It reduces the rate of
greenhouse gas emission and the additional energy is supplied to roadside buildings to operate
their lights, fans and other electronic appliances and street lights also.
1.4 Acceptance criteria
 The project should be accomplished within assigned timeline and budget

3PROJECT MANAGEMENT
 The construction of “Solar highways or photovoltaic roads about a live project
in France” must follow both technical and non technical requirements as per
design requirements
 The project needs to meet all project objectives such as reduction in rate of non-
renewable resources and greenhouse gas emission

1.7 Project charter
Project name: “Solar highways or photovoltaic roads about a live project” in France
Project Objectives
 To design and develop a structurally engineered road of 2,880 kilometer that would be
able to store solar energy within the design layers
 To develop an energy efficient road that would reduce the greenhouse gas emission rate
 To enable electric car driving by taking electric energy from the solar energy stored in the
roads
Project time and budget  The project needs to be completed in 2
years
 The new budget estimated for the project
is $150,000 (Each panel cost
approximately $7,000 to construct the
road)
