The startup Sun-Ways received permission from the Swiss Federal Office of Transport and began installing solar panels in the gaps between the tracks of the Buttes railway station. Interestingly, Sun-Ways is not the first company to deploy solar panels on railroad tracks. The Italian renewable energy company Greenrail and the British technology company Bankset Energy […]
The German concern Deutsche Bahn and the British energy company Bankset are testing the use of photovoltaic systems on railway tracks. During the tests, solar batteries were installed on the sleepers. This design, according to Bankset’s calculations, can produce up to 0.1 MW of electricity per kilometer. If we consider the entire length of the […]
