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).

True, but it still seems rather excessive....

That's like 1/7th of the cost of a single passenger car. I'm sure they can easily afford to take that hit if it doesn't end up panning out.
