    At least the weight isn’t on the panels this time. I think there are better places to put them, though.

      yep. at least to me it feels like the fact that its between the rails is just to make it cooler, not actually for any real benefit. i love solar, but this project sounds sus

        It being between the rails probably makes it easier to automate most of the installation, cleaning, and removal at the end of their life.

          At the cost of making any maintenance harder, creating a very long layout so no likelihood of redundant connections, and putting breakable objects in a high impact zone

            If the system is made well, maybe it can be very easy to drive a carriage over them and remove a lot of them relatively quickly.

            I wonder if they can get away with just using a single bolt for each panel. Or maybe none, just long pins and the power connection. Unplug and lift straight up? Maybe it doesn’t have to be a big issue.

            I’ll have to check if there are detailed plans.
