Although the total cost of the solar-powered rail transportation is relatively high, it can make full use of the rail own land with no increasing land for solar panel installations. Furthermore, due to the rail energy consumption, this approach facilitates the solar energy accommodation with less curtailment.
Available solar energy in the rail sector in China. As seen, all the available solar energy in the rail sector itself is as much as 3157.8 TWh per year. Since there is less rail mileage in Zone I and IV, less utilized space is available for solar energy integration.

Last week, Shanghai’s municipal transport commission issued an implementation plan to promote the deployment of solar energy in the city’s transport sector, becoming the country’s first local government to do so.
It helped Shanghai Metro build a 7.4MW solar power generation project in 2020 that enables the subway system to operate using solar power generated locally. Solar energy’s use in transport is not new.
Meanwhile, the rail sector provides enough available spaces for PV panel installations on the covered and trackside land, and the station rooftops in its infrastructures and ancillary facilities without increasing land use. Therefore, this results in a greater future for solar energy integration in the rail sector.
