    And this is why they only put 100m of panels, to test and validate the idea before commiting to any large scale project. As a swiss citizen too, I’m on the contrary quite happy to see those test projects to give a chance to new technologies (or ways to utilize said technologies) before any real investment.

      I think the biggest limitations will be security, someone will definitely be trying to steal them

          Yeah but you probably need to put them for long distances and you can’t really put cameras for hundreds of kilometres instead of let’s say the top of a parking lots or an enclosed field

        steal them

        train damages them

        they get dirty

        Wildlife infestation

        It makes more sense to put them up out of the way angled toward the sun

        just set up bleacher style farms along train routes
