Abstract:

This project explores the feasibility of integrating solar-powered infrastructure into bike pathways as a sustainable energy and transportation solution for California. Using advanced tools like ArcGIS (for analysis), PVWatts, SAM, and JEDI, this study evaluates the economic, environmental, and technical implications through a conceptual case study based in Riverside. Insights drawn from global case studies and stakeholder feedback highlight challenges such as financial constraints, regulatory complexities, and technical design considerations, while also identifying opportunities for renewable energy generation, greenhouse gas emission reductions, and enhanced urban mobility. The conceptual case study serves as a framework for assessing potential benefits and informing actionable strategies. Recommendations address barriers and align implementation with California’s climate action and sustainability goals, offering a roadmap for integrating renewable energy with active transportation systems.
