Product Overview

Bankset's core offering is a solar photovoltaic system built for railway infrastructure. The modules are made of silicon and aluminium and clip over existing railway sleepers made of concrete, wood, or steel, avoiding the need to replace the underlying infrastructure.

The system is designed for low-, medium-, and high-voltage applications and can be deployed on slow rails, parking rails, medium-speed secondary lines, and high-speed lines. The company also supplies cleaning robotics, power electronics, battery storage, and operations and maintenance services, positioning itself as an integrated provider of rail-solar energy systems.

Market Outlook

The global railway network exceeds one million kilometers, offering a large underused surface for photovoltaic generation without additional land acquisition. Bankset aims to capitalize on this by installing gigawatts of solar capacity along rail corridors worldwide.

The company has identified markets in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, China, Italy, Austria, and Spain. Its systems can feed electricity into local grids, power nearby consumers, charge train batteries, or supply railway stations and overhead traction networks, addressing both rail decarbonization and renewable energy growth.

Competitive Advantages

Bankset emphasizes a first-mover position in railway photovoltaics, with a patented fixation system that adapts to multiple rail fastenings including Vossloh, E-clip, and Fastclip. Its modules are designed to fit existing sleepers without sleeper replacement, reducing installation cost and infrastructure disruption.

The company cites experience with Deutsche Bahn and other national rail operators, an integrated ecosystem spanning modules, robotics, batteries, and power electronics, and a robotic cleaning train as operational differentiators. Its offering targets both new and existing rail lines across low-, medium-, and high-voltage categories.
