SunTrain is hoping to ship renewable energy via battery-powered trains, charged from solar and wind, using rail networks.
This system relies on solar farms, station rooftops, or adjacent land to generate power. The electricity feeds into the railway''s electric grid or charges large-scale batteries.

It runs entirely on solar energy, using 6.6 kW of roof-mounted panels and 30 kW of solar installed at the depot. The train produces more energy than it consumes, with the excess sent back to the local grid. India has retrofitted Diesel Electric Multiple Units (DEMUs) with roof-mounted solar panels.
So far, the company has tested a custom 750 KWh train car, fully charged with solar energy at SunTrain’s San Francisco testbed and transported over 6,500 miles on the Union Pacific network in California.
As solar technology improves, so do the possibilities for rail. Lighter panels and better batteries could help trains generate and store more clean energy—even for night runs or cloudy days. In the near future, we may see:
Lighter panels and better batteries could help trains generate and store more clean energy—even for night runs or cloudy days. In the near future, we may see: These shifts won’t replace traditional rail overnight—but they point toward a more sustainable, solar-powered future for how we travel.
