Under $10 a year of electricity produced per tile (much less than the cost of the tile even over 10 years)...under ideal conditions....no proof that the glass is an adequate road surface...24% of the electricity consumed by the LEDs (bestcase scenario)...MORE than all of the electricity consumed if they try to heat them.
...and this is a guy who loves solar and has his own system.
ETA: removed the imbed....honestly, as old fashioned and polite as I try to be most of the time...I never really viewed "bull****" as that much of a swear....but maybe that's my rural upbringing.
Nothing I can do about the quote.
