Solar power project hits the rails with between-track panel pilotSwiss startup Sun-Ways is installing solar panels between railway tracks to harness the energy potential of unused space. This innovative approach could provide nearly a third of Switzerland's public transport electricity needs and reduce CO2 emissions by over 200,000 tons annually. The system, designed for track gauges of 1.43 m, can...

After initial rejection, Sun-Ways received approval for a pilot project on a 100-meter stretch of the TransN line near Buttes station, with 48 panels generating 18 kWp. The company is also planning feasibility studies on a 1,500-meter section of private track in Aigle and is exploring similar projects in France, Spain, Romania, South Korea, China, Thailand, Australia, and the US.
