Use of solar panels in civil engineering structures and railways: An Indian perspective


Author(s): Brijesh

Abstract: The integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems into civil engineering structures and railway infrastructure is increasingly relevant to India’s sustainable development goals. With strong policy support from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and Indian Railways’ Renewable Energy Mission, solar PV is becoming integral to reducing carbon emissions. This paper follows the standard academic format: introduction, literature review, methodology, results, and conclusion. Case studies from Delhi Metro, Indian Railways, and Gujarat canal-top solar projects are highlighted, with references to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) codes and Indian regulatory standards. A sample economic analysis is provided using the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) model. The study concludes with recommendations for future research and policy alignment.
