I think they only absorb light to generate electricity and use a tiny amount to power road lines. Could be interesting.

I saw another article about changing the colour of roads to lighter colours, green, white etc and thereby cut heat absorption. Rpeorts suggest a 6 degree drop in temperatures in cities and the process could be implemented as part of the resurfacing program.
