Description
Description | Indian Railways commissioned India's first removable solar panel system between railway tracks at Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW), Varanasi. The pilot project involves 28 bifacial monocrystalline solar panels installed on a 70-meter track section, generating 15 kWp power and 67 units of electricity daily. The panels are removable using four stainless steel Allen bolts, allowing quick disassembly for track maintenance without disrupting railway operations. The project aims to scale across India's 1.2 lakh kilometer railway network to generate clean energy and support net-zero carbon emission goals by 2030. |
