I think the biggest limitations will be security, someone will definitely be trying to steal them

Isn’t this the case with all existing panels?

Yeah but you probably need to put them for long distances and you can't really put cameras for hundreds of kilometres instead of let's say the top of a parking lots or an enclosed field

steal them

train damages them

they get dirty

Wildlife infestation

It makes more sense to put them up out of the way angled toward the sun

just set up bleacher style farms along train routes
