Worlds First Solar Powered Battery Storage Train! EEVdiscover 2018-01-11 | Dave checks out the world's first solar powered battery storage train! The Byron Bay Solar Train.NOTE: This is a neat tourist attraction, but it's NOT a magic "green" solution to train travel.A Byron Bay company have converted an old 1950's "red rattler" Sydney train into a battery storage solar powered train.Solar panels on the train roof can charge the train batteries which can last for an entire days service. a 30kW solar system on the train station roof provides fast charge power and power back into the grid when not being used.http://byronbaytrain.com.au/
