Yeah, I looked up the French solar roadways after seeing this to see the headline of ‘total disaster’. So as expected.

This isn’t nearly that dumb, because the train isn’t actually riding directly on top of the solar cells.

It’s close though, random shit gets dragged, kicked, dropped, etc all the time by trains.
A chain , cable, or wire comes loose on a car and goodbye panels and like all of them …

If a chain, cable, or wire comes loose on a car then the panels are the least of anyone’s worries. Also expect emergency brakes to kick in automatically. This is a train, not a bicycle.

I don’t why they don’t overhang them on frames. It’d cost more upfront, but hell alot cheaper than replacing the broken panels all the time.
