It is unsuitable for roads but it is for some locations and purposes pretty comparable.   Also as it can be deployed for a homeowner they now have control of the production of their own energy.  Not being reliant on others for power can be worth extra cost for some.   Solar still works as tax free income in most locations. 

Yes... if individual house owners want to get self sufficient on electricity, then installing solar panels will be a good idea. Especially in remote and inaccessible areas, where other forms of electricity are not readily available.

The technology and innovation is great only if the price of expensive solar panel is indeed dramatically reduced in the future.

Solar panels are extremely expensive and requires frequent maintenance. Compared to other forms of energy, solar power is many times more expensive, and there for unsuitable for the roads. Unless these demerits can be solved, this project will not succeed.

"Solar panels that you can drive, park, and walk on. They melt snow and... cut greenhouse gases by 75-percent?!!!"
