Apr 20, 2020 · A company based in Budapest has come out with a new way to power your home with the Sun: solar panel driveways. The company, Platio Solar, has spent the last half a decade developing new solar technology that fits into urban spaces, like driveways, seamlessly. Not only do Platio Solar’s driveway solar panels produce clean energy, but they’re made from recycled plastic bottles, helping provide a longer-term use for otherwise single-use plastics.
