Solar-Smart-Walls will construct highly customisable robust semi-transparent wall sections that generate solar energy utilising verticle spaces with a very small land area footprint and provide flexible smart technology hosting through an innovative "plug and play" module within each panel. The robust nature of the materials and modular design solves the problem of existing products being too fragile and offering a limited range of architectural flexibility and adaptability to serve rapidly changing technologies for them to be deployed in transport settings.By offering services from our Smart-Solar-Walls such as electric-vehicle charging, docking for micro-mobility and hosting internet-of-things and information-communication-technology across transport assets, walls will be transformed to provide long term value through a digital services revenue model, increasing affordability and driving sustainability. With 20,000 miles of narrow linear rail corridors, 2,000 stations and 8,200 commercial proprieties, deploying Smart-Solar-Walls across UK rail networks has the potential to make a significant contribution to delivering a shift to low-carbon transport. Whether that be through charging electric-vehicles within car-parks, providing power and infrastructure for electrified micro-mobility or generating power at scale along track boundaries. **We estimate there is 18GWp of renewable energy potential across the UK rail network that Smart-Solar-Walls could unlock equating to 1/3 of the UKs current peak electricity demand.** This could be realised without the need to build on any green field site. Private and public sector stakeholders responsible for the delivery of low-carbon, electrified mobility systems require new sources of affordable renewable-energy and efficiently deployed smart infrastructure to manage, dock and charge new sustainable modes of transport as well as increased electrification of traditional modes. With limited space available in towns, cities and along our narrow linear transport routes, harvesting clean energy from vertical walls whilst providing structure, securing boundaries and creating noise barriers across our railways offers a cost effective and resource efficient solution to power and service an electric mobility revolution within the rail sector. This project will engage closely with Network Rail and HS2 as potential future customers to study the technical, commercial, and environmental feasibility of - 1\. Robust, modular, Smart-Solar-Walls to provide new sources of renewable-energy required for low-carbon transport. 2\. A solution that can be readily integrated within Network Rail and HS2 stations, car-parks and track boundaries. 3\. An innovative services business model that generates new revenue streams via charging and docking micro-mobility, electric-vehicles and hosting Internet-of-Things and Information-Communication-Technology across Network Rail and HS2 assets.

Solar-Smart-Walls将建造高度可定制的坚固半透明墙体部分，利用占地面积非常小的垂直空间产生太阳能，并通过每个面板内的创新“即插即用”模块提供灵活的智能技术托管。材料的坚固性和模块化设计解决了现有产品过于脆弱的问题，并提供了有限的建筑灵活性和适应性，以满足快速变化的技术，以便将其部署在运输环境中。通过提供我们的智能太阳能墙服务，例如电动汽车充电，对接微移动性和托管物联网和跨运输资产的信息通信技术，将通过数字服务收入模式转变为提供长期价值，提高可负担性和推动可持续性。凭借20，000英里的狭窄线性铁路走廊，2，000个车站和8，200个商业地产，在英国铁路网络中部署智能太阳能墙有可能为向低碳交通的转变做出重大贡献。无论是通过在停车场内为电动汽车充电，为电动微型移动提供电力和基础设施，还是沿着沿着轨道边界大规模发电。** 我们估计，整个英国铁路网络中有18 GWp的可再生能源潜力，智能太阳能墙可以解锁，相当于英国目前峰值电力需求的1/3。这可以在不需要在任何绿色场地上建造的情况下实现。负责提供低碳电气化交通系统的私营和公共部门利益相关者需要新的负担得起的可再生能源来源和有效部署的智能基础设施，以管理，对接和充电新的可持续交通模式，以及增加传统模式的电气化。由于城镇和沿着狭窄的线性运输路线的可用空间有限，从垂直墙壁上收集清洁能源，同时提供结构，保护边界并在我们的铁路上建立隔音屏障，为铁路部门的电力和服务提供了一个具有成本效益和资源效率的解决方案。该项目将与Network Rail和HS 2密切合作，作为潜在的未来客户，研究-1\的技术、商业和环境可行性。坚固、模块化的智能太阳能墙，为低碳运输提供新的可再生能源。2\.该解决方案可轻松集成到Network Rail和HS 2车站、停车场和轨道边界内。3\.一种创新的服务商业模式，通过充电和对接微型移动、电动汽车以及跨网络铁路和HS 2资产托管物联网和信息通信技术来产生新的收入流。
