And this is no ordinary solar solution &#8211; it is the world&#8217;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<p>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<p>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<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6ac2275ba51b6128060f0ce67724f05a\">Do you want to keep up to date with the latest trends in sustainable technology?
