Meet Carvey Ehren Maigue, a Filipino engineering student who developed a revolutionary solar panel made from discarded fruits and vegetables. His invention, called AuREUS, captures ultraviolet light instead of relying on direct sunlight—meaning it can generate clean energy even on cloudy days or in shaded spaces. It uses luminescent particles from food waste to absorb UV rays and convert them into visible light, which is then harnessed by solar strips.

This breakthrough could change the future of urban solar power. Instead of bulky rooftop installations, AuREUS panels can be mounted on windows or walls, bringing sustainable energy generation into cities and indoor environments. For his game-changing innovation, Maigue won the prestigious 2020 James Dyson Sustainability Award, showing how waste can literally become power.

A Swiss startup named Sun-Ways, based in Lausanne, has begun pilot projects to install removable solar panels between railway tracks.

The innovation is designed to utilize the vast area of railway infrastructure for energy generation without hindering train operations.

Here are the key facts:

Removable Design: The solar panels are pre-assembled and rolled out between train tracks using a specially designed railcar, making the process fast and efficient.

Non-Disruptive to Trains: The panels are placed in such a way that they do not interfere with the train wheels or signaling systems. They are low-profile and can be quickly removed for maintenance or emergencies.

Energy Potential: Switzerland has around 5,000 km of railways, and this initiative could generate significant amounts of renewable electricity, potentially supplying thousands of households.

Durability: The panels are being designed to withstand vibrations, pressure from cleaning systems, and harsh weather conditions. However, some experts have raised concerns about maintenance costs, durability under heavy rail use, and energy efficiency compared to conventional rooftop or solar farm systems.

This initiative is part of Switzerland’s broader push toward carbon neutrality and green infrastructure.
