00:03solar is the future after all it's literally limitless energy provided by the sun but many
00:09argue that we don't have enough area for solar farms well one swiss company may have that figured
00:14out this is what they're calling sunways and it could help capture a massive amount of solar
00:18energy doubling the usage of a place that is already being utilized by trains the device
00:23sets out solar panels like a carpet between railroad tracks and while it might not seem
00:27like a huge area when added up it really really is with the firm saying there is currently more
00:32than 75 and a half million square feet of unexploited area on train tracks right now that's the equivalent
00:37of solar roofing on some 350 000 homes sunways says that while solar is the future the industry faces
00:44a couple of issues with its uptake the first being land use with few people wanting to install massive
00:49solar fields on their property the other is that the industry lacks workers who are qualified to
00:53install them this new railway system solves both those problems and could produce a whopping 30
00:58percent of all energy in switzerland if widely adopted sunways is now looking to expand hopefully
01:03bringing their solar rail panels to the international stage soon
