EEVBlog did the math about the thing and with our current (and predicted) tech it's rubbish. There just isn't enough power from it to gain much even if roads cover a lots of square meters and durability of currently available panels just isn't there. It's just bloody expensive road with miniscule amounts of power in exchange.
