- Successful trial in Switzerland: 100 meters of solar panels installed on railway tracks produced 16,000 kWh in one year.
- Efficiency and potential: Solar railway panels have only ~10% production loss; covering all Swiss tracks could generate 1 TWh/year, about 2% of national energy consumption.
- Safety measures: Panels are designed with anti-reflection filters, built-in sensors, and cleaning brushes to address risks like cracks, fires, and distractions.
- Expansion plans: Sun-Ways signed contracts in Italy and South Korea, with discussions ongoing in the Netherlands, China, India, and Singapore.
