Estimated Energy Production of 76 Kilometers of rail 3280ft x 16ft =
52,480 sqft of Photovoltaics per kilometer of rail (parallel track) 52,480 x
20 watts / sqft = 1,049,600 watts / hr / kilometer of rail (1.05 megawatts
/ km)
76 Kilometers of rail will generate 79,769 kWh / solar-hour (20 watts/sq ft)
Estimated Annual Energy Production for 76 Km of rail (10 hours / day *
365)
291.1 Million kWh/Year (5.6% of National Electrical Demand 2005)
System would support a starting number of 152 Transports (2 every 1 Km) at 80
passengers each for a simultaneous passenger capacity of 12,160 people.
