Swiss startup Sun-ways is planning to build a 18 kW pilot PV system between the racks of a 100-m linear section of a railway line in the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel.
Standing next to trains as they pass, or on one’s with open decks, you’ll know they produce a lot of wind. I assume under the train this is even stronger, with a strong low pressure area. This should be able to clear most obstructions without an issue whenever a train passes. Sure, it’ll also toss more on, but there’s some equilibrium that it’ll reach and it shouldn’t ever get worse. My guess is that’s well before it is a major issue for the panels.
