SOLAR RAILWAY SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A solar railway system includes a monorail guideway structure elevated above ground and extending along a rail travel direction. The guideway structure has a hollow body extending in the rail travel direction and containing utility infrastructure. A walkable thoroughfare is within the hollow body for allowing worker access to the utility infrastructure. A solar energy collector is positioned on the guideway structure and is in electrical communication with the utility infrastructure.
