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.
At least for right now it’s just a test on a 100-meter length of track, but this reeks of a startup trying to innovate its way out of NIMBYs not wanting to put solar panels where they actially belong without considering why nobody has put solar panels in the middle of a railroad track before (cough rocks, wildlife, and vandalism cough).

Solar panels need to be on every home and how new builds in many countries still don’t require them baffles me.
