Solar power plants have almost infinite potential. This is demonstrated by a Swiss start-up project that uses railway tracks to generate energy. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\"Could<\/figure>\n\n

Innovative Swiss start-up Sun-Ways is about to make history with a pioneering system for installing solar panels directly on railway tracks. And this is no ordinary solar solution – it is the world’s first removable photovoltaic (PV) system, developed in collaboration with the renowned Swiss Federal Institute of Technology EPFL in Lausanne. Just imagine a train that spreads solar panels along the tracks like a carpet! <\/p>\n\n

After overcoming initial regulatory hurdles, Sun-Ways will launch a three-year pilot project in the Neuch\u00e2tel region of Switzerland in spring 2025. A specially adapted train will install metre-scale photovoltaic panels at an impressive speed of up to 1,000 m\u00b2 per day. During this trial, the electricity generated by the 48 panels on a 100-metre stretch of track will be fed into the electricity grid to help supply local households. <\/p>\n\n

As Europe accelerates its transition to cleaner energy sources, pioneering projects like this one are opening up exciting new opportunities. Solar railways could play a key role in maximising solar potential in non-traditional spaces. <\/p>\n\n
