Solar Panels for Indian Railway
Solar Powered Trains is the future of Indian Rail
Generating solar power
Solar powered trains are usually put in motion by placing photovoltaic panels close to or on rail lines; they can generate enough electricity to trigger a traction current that will be distributed to the grid.
Indian Railways is going all out to reduce its fuel costs and adopt solar power in a major way. Apart from planning large-scale solar power projects and rooftop solar power systems, the world’s fourth-largest railway network is planning to install solar panels on top of coaches.
