Solar panels between railway tracks? (www.euronews.com)

I'm all for putting solar panels all over the place, but won't these get dusty and oily and need loads of cleaning after trains pass over?

Also, costing €623,000 over three years sounds rather expensive for just 100m (although that roughly equates to 11KW).

Everything will be fine, except this extraordinarily stupid idea.

Did you invest in it or something? I mean you have no answers just other than "here take a cookie" lol

i believe in thinking, and efficiency. you apparently believe in neither. it hurts no one (cept apparently you) to think on things.

for your edification

thought experiment

resource efficiency

It did cost 600.000 euros and you call it efficient, for an idea that can be scrapped by thinking straight for 2 minutes lol.

You think the idea sounds cool, but it's just a nightmare. If you are really interested in efficiency you should look up engineering and related studies. Or just work with mechanical things. Or both.

What did you think about solar roadways?

hang on everybody, call off the engineers, someone on the internet has thought about this for 2 minutes. good boy.
