Sun-Ways Removable Solar Power Plant on Railway Tracks
Sector: Solar • Location: Buttes, Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Source: SWI swissinfo.ch
A pilot project by Swiss startup Sun-Ways involves installing removable solar panels between railway tracks in Buttes, western Switzerland. The three-year pilot will assess the interaction between solar power generation and train operations. The technology aims to utilize unused space along railway lines to generate solar energy, potentially covering 2% of Switzerland's national electricity consum
