Solar railways involve the strategic installation of photovoltaic (PV) panels along railway tracks to harness solar energy directly into the rail transport network. This paper proposes a novel approach by proposing the integration of photovoltaic systems directly on the roofs of trains to generate clean electricity and reduce dependence. . The SNCF and SNCF Réseau have just entered into a collaboration with the CEA at the INES to develop photovoltaic systems capable of operating at voltages of up to 9000Vdc. The rail sector has a key role to play in the ecological transition.
Solar glass is a high-tech building material that integrates power generation, light transmission, and thermal insulation. This specialized glazing is designed to harness solar energy directly from sunlight, converting it into usable electricity. This innovative technology serves multiple purposes, including energy generation. . In this context, photovoltaic glass emerges as one of the most innovative technologies in the field of solar energy and smart building design.
