Solar Panels on Tunnel Roof Power Trains

The video discusses the installation of 16,000 solar panels above the railway line between Brussels and Amsterdam, marking a first in Europe. This project generates enough energy to power 4,000 train journeys annually. However, similar projects are not viable in the UK due to government cuts in incentives. The video also highlights the limited market and job creation potential in the UK, despite tougher renewable energy targets. The future of solar energy is promising with evolving technology and decreasing installation costs, but large-scale projects still face funding challenges.
