Clean energy innovation now comes from Switzerland. The country known for its precise transportation system has once again made a breakthrough through a pilot project of solar panels on active railway tracks. This project was initiated by Sun-Ways, a Swiss startup that focuses on the development of renewable energy technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different from solar energy projects in general which require special land or building roofs, Sun-Ways presents a unique solution, namely installing solar panels directly between active railway tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology used also allows trains to continue operating without interruption, opening up great opportunities for the utilization of infrastructure space that has not been optimally utilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This will be the first time that solar panels have been installed on railway tracks that are passed by trains,” said Joseph Scuderi, CEO of Sun-Ways, quoted from ESG News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the pilot phase, 48 solar panels will be installed along 100 meters of rail, which is located in the Neuch\u00e2tel region, western Switzerland. Where the panels will be installed using a specially designed train by Swiss rail maintenance company Sceuchzer, which is capable of installing up to 1.000 square meters of panels per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results of this power will not be channeled to the railway system due to the complexity of current railway operations. The system is expected to be channeled to local homes because it is estimated to be able to produce 16.000 kWh of electricity per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Potential<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sun-Ways project offers a smart solution, using existing infrastructure to add renewable energy capacity, without putting pressure on open space or green spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The potential for this technology is huge. Imagine if just a small portion of the track was equipped with solar panels, the world would have a significant additional source of clean energy, without harming the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if this project is successful and widely replicated, it is possible that we will see railways around the world become not just travel routes, but clean energy routes of the future. Cool, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
