Will there soon be solar power from the railway track?

However, Deutsche Bahn announces that the test systems are in operation regardless of whether DB will use them on the route network itself at a later date or not. On behalf of the Federal Railway Authority, TÜV Rheinland is examining the form in which solar systems can be used on railway systems. In addition to the tracks, the roofs of train stations or noise protection walls along railway lines also offer a lot of potential space for the installation of photovoltaic systems.
