Colas: starts marketing Wattway in Japan – 2022-09-20 at 18:06


(CercleFinance.com) – Colas announces this evening that Colas Japan and its partner TOA Road have launched the commercialization of the Wattway photovoltaic road surface in Japan, thus marking ‘a new stage in the deployment of this solution’.

The ‘Wattway Pack’ consists of installing 3 to 18 photovoltaic tiles associated with an energy storage system. ‘It makes it possible to supply electrical equipment at the edge of the road (lighting, surveillance cameras, charging of electric bicycles or Wi-Fi) and to make them autonomous, including in the event of unavailability of the electricity network’, indicates Colas.

This solution is thus particularly suitable for urban areas, parks, cycle paths and loading points for soft mobility.

‘In this country which is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and where the available surface area is very limited, Wattway is a complementary solution for developing renewable energies’, emphasizes Kaoru Naganuma, Director of Colas Japan.
