Abstract: There are many obstacles facing the global transportation industry in terms of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. A rising number of people are interested in investigating alternate propulsion systems as a reaction to these difficulties, with solar power emerging as a possible renewable energy source for trains. The viability and possible advantages of solar power trains with an integrated battery system for energy storage and use are examined in this research study. The train's energy autonomy and dependability are increased by the hybrid system, which captures solar energy during the day and stores it in batteries for use at night or in low light. This study presents a thorough analysis of solar power production methods that can be used in trains. It also covers the benefits, drawbacks, and design concerns of including battery storage into railroad networks. Examining case studies of effective applications and new developments in solar power train technology, the viability and expandability of the suggested remedy are evaluated. This research establishes the groundwork for future advancements in solar-powered mobility and advances sustainable transportation through a combination of theoretical analysis and practical insights.
