Space that was always there. Now it generates power.
Between the rails lies "dead" space that has never been used. Sun-Ways developed a patented system that lays solar panels in that space — like a rolling carpet — with no drilling, no welding and no changes to the track.
Trains keep running as usual
The system is flat and does not protrude above rail height. Approved for train speeds of up to 150 km/h and winds of up to 240 km/h.
Fully removable for track maintenance
The system is modular and fully removable: each module disconnects from the track and the grid within minutes, so all track maintenance is carried out as usual — no limitations, no change to railway procedures.
Smart cleaning & upkeep
Natural cleaning: precipitation and the wind from passing trains keep the panels clean most of the year, while remote monitoring flags any drop in output. If needed, automatic cleaning solutions exist — with no service interruptions and no one entering the track.
Powers the grid — and one day, the trains themselves
The electricity feeds the distribution grid today — and, down the line, the railway traction network itself as a Smart Energy Hub.
