"Europe’s infrastructure is embracing the renewables boom, with one company
determined to transform the continent’s railway lines into mini solar farms.
Last year, Swiss start-up Sun-Ways unveiled the world’s first-ever
solar
railway after rolling out 100 metres of photovoltaic (PV) panels in between
active tracks in Buttes, a village in the Val-de-Travers district.
Originally planned as just a three-year trial, the railway was fitted with 48
specially-designed solar panels with a combined power of 18 kWp.
However, the positive results yielded just one year into the trial mean the
installation of a permanent system along the railroad track is now likely,
Euronews Earth has been told."
