Switzerland has turned its train tracks into solar power plants
THE WORLD IS MOVING ON, EXPERIMENTING AND CREATING WHILE TRUMP ET AL WALLOWS WITH DIRTY ENERGY!! THE FUTURE IS INNOVATION AND CLEAN ENERGY! POSTED IN DAILY DOSE OF DEMOCRACY: Switzerland has turned its train tracks into solar power plants Jul 6, 2026 The space between railroad tracks doesn’t usually do much of anything. But in a tiny village in Switzerland, Swiss inventors have spent the last year proving it can be used to generate clean electricity. In April 2025, Swiss startup Sun-Ways installed 48 solar panels along a 330-foot stretch of active railway in Buttes, Switzerland. It is the first removable solar power plant on a working rail line anywhere in the world.

Now, just over a year into their three-year pilot project, the results are in: More than 11,000 trains have rolled directly over the panels at speeds...
