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).

It seems like it a bad place. It would probably shorten the panels' lifetime, and maintenance would be tricky without interrupting train traffic.

Let's work on putting more solar panels on schools, malls, parking lots, train stations, and any structure with a large roof.
