A removable solar power plant placed between the rails of a railroad, allowing to exploit large unused surfaces
01.
Identification
The Sun-Ways solution is designed to take advantage of the unused space between railroad tracks to place removable solar power plants. The technique used is based on a patent and allows for the safe passage of trains and all maintenance work on the railway infrastructure. In contrast to large-scale ground installations, Sun-Ways makes use of already constructed surfaces, without visual or environmental impact. In addition, its mechanized installation process requires little manpower and offers high installation capacities, up to 1,000 m2 per day.
