Solar power in remote places

Solar panels are suggested on running trains for generating electricity for in-coach consumption. Railway Engineers are not convinced as it will be difficult to fix the solar panel on rail roofs due to strong vibrations.

But the solar panels can be set up on the static structures like stations. Railway stations in remote places need transmission lines for supply of electricity. Solar panels in those places can be economical and provide the light in the station complex.

This can be tried in places like Sagar islands in West Bengal, Mazuli in Assam and Bhavani Islands in Vijaywada.
