Swiss startup Sun-ways is planning to build a 18 kW pilot PV system between the racks of a 100-m linear section of a railway line in the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel.
I’m interested to see how this turns out, because I’m thinking this would significantly increase maintenance costs on those panels due to rocks being kicked up, vibration from the train, etc.

You do get the advantage of easy and above all fast placement.
Not sure how this would work out. There’s pros and cons I suppose.
Maybe it’s like a blanket that the train picks up over its head and runs underneath, setting it back down on the ground after it
