There are so many better places that will get less damage and wear to place them. Put these right along solar roadways, useless. Even just using the places right next to the railroad track instead of literally in the center of it would be 100x better.

Example parking lots.. and it would be more beneficial then just the power it would make.. example keeping cars in shade and cool, and provide cover during storms.

Yeah this seems silly. It’s like they never looked at train tracks before coming up with the idea

Exactly. I imagine the dirt they accumulate in such a position would reduce their efficiency by rather a lot, rather quickly.

swiss train track density is very high. the track system is very well maintained and it's easy to feed energy from those tracks back into the system as swiss train tracks also have energy and fibre lanes right next to them.
