Abstract: The illuminated heated driveway is an overlay panel that covers and heats a covered area exemplified by, but not limited to, a driveway or a sidewalk. Multiple overlay panels may be conjoined to cover an area larger than a single overlay panel. The overlay panels are powered by a power assembly that couples to a connector on one of the overlay panels. Additional connectors may electrically couple adjacent overlay panels. Within each overlay panel, a heating element and a lighting system is electrically connected to the power connectors. The heating element may melt wintry weather that accumulates on the panel and the lighting system may cause the panel to glow for improved visibility. The power assembly may comprise a time to turn the panel on and off throughout the day.
