Photovoltaic panels on both sides of the railway

This innovative project, developed by Sun-Ways, a startup based in Vaud, features removable solar panels installed between the rails, marking a significant leap in integrating renewable energy into transportation infrastructure. . Swiss startup Sun-Ways says it has activated what it calls the world's first removable solar plant on active rail tracks, with passenger trains set to run over the 18 kW installation from April 28. Despite many household and business rooftops rocking solar panels, and dedicated "farms" also soaking up the Sun's energy, there's still huge potential for harvesting much more.
