Photovoltaic Equipment Rail Module

Home / Photovoltaic Equipment Rail Module

Rail companies can install PV modules on the roof of trains to generate power for onboard services, such as air conditioning, lighting, and security. We're joining forces with Swiss start-up Sun-Ways to explore how movable solar power generation equipment can be installed between the rails of tracks on working passenger lines. Switzerland's Federal Office of Transport approved the removable PV plant in October 2024. By integrating photovoltaic panels along railway corridors and stations, these systems transform passive infrastructure into powerful. The rail power grid has almost 8,000 kilometers of dedicated power lines, which are distributed almost nationwide in Germany and operated at a frequency of 16.
