What is the upside of building panels into the rail instead of next to it?

So it can be installed by the train.

This way an ‘innovative’ and ‘disruptive’ approach that can be the basis of a startup that can be sold to a bigger company or IPO for a bunch of money, and as a bonus draw clean energy funding away from tried and tested solutions into inefficient gimmicks that in turn keep the gas plants running that much longer.

Maybe a bit more protection from the elements? And maybe they’ll design a system to push and clear debris as the train goes over
