Photovoltaics for elevated metro stations

Elevated metro stations may highly benefit from rooftop solar power generation combined with battery storage, new research from China suggests. The scientists proposed a system design that promises a payback time of 10. 2 years without including the option of injecting surplus power into the grid. Researchers from the Xi'an Jiaotong University in China have investigated how rooftop solar and battery storage may help cover energy demand in elevated metro stations and found this combination may achieve a self-sufficiency rate of up to 54% and a payback time of 10. 2 years. "Our work is the first ...
