Comment on Switzerland’s solar railway has been a success. What happens next?

  Not really. We are still roughly one year into the three year trial.

  For his part, Joseph Scuderi hopes to shorten the duration of the pilot project in Buttes – set at three years by the Federal Office of Transport – and to obtain final approval quickly. “We have demonstrated that the solar plant between the rails is safe. The sooner we obtain final approval, the sooner our partners abroad will also be able to move forwards.”

    But nothing about reliable. It snows in Switzerland.

      Might be that the trains blow it away. But I also hope it does not get shortened, three years seems about right to me.
