Why not build roofs over roads and put the solar panels there. All season roads plus solar power.... roads would last longer too.

You might be right about asphalt.

One EMP event and you'd have to replace every single tile. Not to mention the inconvenience of no lines on the road, no lighting and no electricity. Dumb roads make much more sense, and they're already paid for.

The only thing wrong with “distributed” solar power is laws that require it be purchased by electric power distribution nets.
If it were economically efficient on its on, it would simply displace need for electricity from the grid, at a particular source of use, and that would be the end of it. The fact it it is not done that way puts the economic efficiency of it in question if it was not supported by government mandates and subsidies.
