    Really long and thin strips that can’t be angled. They can only be serviced while the track is closed and need to survive whatever debris a train might fling at them. Is this really the best way to place them?

    Solar freaking railways.

      For the life of me I don’t understand why people are putting them anywhere before every rooftop is covered with them. Roofs are dead space and unlikely to have debris issues (at least compared to a railway).

        It’s companies trying to make a quick buck. They tried this with roads too.

        Obviously every home should have them first and all newly built homes should be built with solar efficiency in mind.
