A roadway system for solar energy generation and distribution is presented. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the roadway system comprises a plurality of solar energy generating devices, one or more roads, and a roadway system electricity grid. The roadway system electricity grid electrically connects the plurality of solar energy generating devices, power conditions solar generated energy provided by the plurality of solar energy generating devices, and distributes the solar generated energy to entities, such as a utility grid or to a direct power user. As such, the present invention provides a cohesive system for gathering and generating energy from the sun, and distributing such energy.
