Solar Powered Train Market Growth, Recent Trends, Industry Analysis, Outlook, Insights, Share and Forecasts Report 2027
Solar Powered Train Market: Introduction
·
Solar energy can be considered a
major renewable source of energy. It can be used as a source of energy in
trains.
·
Solar powered trains are powered by
placing photovoltaic panels close to or on rail lines. These photovoltaic
panels are able to generate considerable amount of electricity that could
trigger traction current to enable trains in moving forward.
·
Train can quickly get recharged using
electricity by a static solar panel at each stop, as it follows a straight and
fixed route
·
The idea of attaching solar panels to
railway sleepers on roof is also gaining considerable traction in the industry,
as it potentially allows for solar photovoltaic panels to work on long routes
at relatively low costs
·
The basic principle of solar powered
train is to use energy stored in battery systems during and after charging it
from roof mounted solar panels. The energy from charged storage batteries is
used to drive the engine and move the train in forward direction.
·
Development of solar powered train
with onboard energy storage capability via solar and electrical energy offers
significant reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional
electrified train with an overhead power feeding system

Key Drivers of Global Solar Powered Train Market
·
Increase in concerns about carbon
emission across the globe due to conventional railways and efficiency offered
by this mode of transport is boosting the global solar powered train market
·
Rail networks and infrastructure
facilities in major cities across the world have expanded substantially over
the years. Additionally, increase in investments made by numerous governments
across the globe to develop railway infrastructure has created opportunities
for train manufacturers to expand their geographical presence.
·
Solar powered trains can provide
several financial benefits to rail networks that are currently relying on
grids. Lack of funds and rapid attainment of full capacity of grids are making
it harder to generate electricity from renewable sources to power the railways.
·
Rail freight has risen steadily over
the past 20 years. It continues to rise in most countries, according to the
International Energy Agency (IEA). Rail uses almost 90% less energy than trucks
per unit of freight. Thus, rise in global rail freight is anticipated to propel
the solar powered trains market during the forecast period.
·
Increase in demand for energy across
the globe has led to exploration of new sources of energy. This is likely to
drive the global solar powered train market.
Restraints of Solar Powered Train Market
·
Replacement of existing steam &
diesel engines in trains powered by conventional fossil fuels with solar
powered systems can be cost intensive, as systems need to be changed without
affecting the operational hours. Furthermore, investment costs of these plants
differ from one region to another, depending on solar intensity and its
uniformity.
·
Approximate cost of a solar panel is
up to US$ 1,500 per kW capacity. However, the final price is calculated as per
the panels and storage capacities required. Hence, the overall cost of solar
panels is high. Lack of domestic production facilities of solar hardware units
in many developing countries is one of the major reasons for the high cost of
solar panels.

Asia Pacific to Offer Growth Opportunities to Solar Powered Train Market
·
Based on region, the global solar
powered train market can be divided into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe,
Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
·
Asia Pacific is likely to dominate
the market, as it possess a strong rail network, especially in countries such
as China and India
·
The route network of Indian Railways
is spread over 115,000 km, with 12,617 passenger trains and 7,421 freight
trains running each day from 7,349 stations plying 23 million travelers and 3
million tons (MT) of freight daily. Furthermore, India's railway network is
recognized as one of the largest railway systems in the world under single
management.
·
Rapid growth in economy in China is
encouraging the train network to improve transport systems in the country and
make them more ecofriendly. Use of solar powered trains for large scale run
could be a major breakthrough.

Major Developments
·
Bankset Energy Corporation announced
plans to install solar PV on railway sleepers across the globe. The company
also revealed that the first installation took place in Switzerland and work is
underway on projects in many countries such as Germany, the U.K., France, the
U.S., China, and Italy. Furthermore, the company aims to install solar PV on
railway sleepers in Austria and Spain.
·
In July 2019, Riding Sunbeams
collaborated with Network Rail to use solar panels to power trains in
Southeast England in order to leverage renewable energy and reduce its carbon
footprint. It also launched the first pilot scheme for solar powered trains.
·
In July 2017, Indian Railways, under
the concept ‘Make in India,’ launched the first solar powered DEMU (diesel
electrical multiple unit) train from the Safdarjung railway station in Delhi.
The train runs from Sarai Rohilla in Delhi to Farukh Nagar in Haryana. This
train has total of 16 solar panels, with combined capacity of 4800 Wp, all
these panels are fitted in six coaches.
