• Innovative and Renewable Energy

• Emits no Pollutant: Clean and environmentally friendly energy source

• It can be stored which means the energy can be more directly focused for optimum usage.

• Strong Adaptability: The slabs put on the tiles can be modeled to existing buildings or specifically designed to meet the specifications of a new development

• Help institutions such as UH to control its energy consumption and reduce the carbon of footprints

• Potential to generate substantial cost savings

• Possibility of obtaining funds from federal government, state agencies, and from ratepayers.

• It's very durable: Energy generating slabs are built to withstand extreme conditions

​

• Energy output is small. About 5 watts of power per footstep. Even if there is plenty of foot traffic, which would produce a larger amount of power, it would still require a lot of space and tiles to power the whole campus.

• Producing kinetic energy at a constant rate is a challenge.

• Expensive: kinetic tiles are costly. One pavegen kinetic tile is about $211

• The durability of the tiles are yet to be factually proven  

• Challenges with storage: To store up more energy, heavier magnets are required which drive up costs
