There's are several places where they have solar panels on cycleways. Perhaps solar panels alongside roads could work, on a larger scale.

"Right in the middle of a highway is interesting placement for a bicycle lane.
In South Korea, there's a solar bike path that shields riders from the sun while at the same time generating power from it. The bicycle lane runs for 20 miles between Daejeon and Sejong, reports Fast Company.
Cyclists get on and off the path via underground tunnels. "
The Netherlandshttps://www.triplepundit.com/story/2016/looking-dutch-solar-bike-path-after-one-year/29346
"After one year, researchers are in an educated position to say whether the SolaRoad was everything green-minded people hoped it would be. Fortunately, the path exceeded expectations even in its early stages. After it had only been operating for six months, the path attracted more than 150,000 riders, and more importantly, generated more than 3,000 kilowatt-hours of energy. ThatÔÇÖs enough to power a home for a year."

"Spotted: A modular, semi-enclosed bicycle path provides riders with shelter, light at night and en-route charging stations. Designed by German architect Peter Kuczia, the Solar Veloroute uses a thin canopy to protect cyclists from sun, wind and rain. Curved steel arches support the array of photovoltaic panels that, according to Kuczia, could generate up to 2,000 MWh of electricity per kilometre of bike path."

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
