I'm all for putting solar panels all over the place, but won't these get dusty and oily and need loads of cleaning after trains pass over? Also, costing €623,000 over three years sounds rather expensive for just 100m (although that roughly equates to 11KW).

This is a big deal; when BlocPower started, it looked like they might do a lot to actually retrofit buildings away from fossil-fuel-burning heat systems. They don't seem to be actually doing that in any kind effective way.

Researchers have developed a model that can be used to project what a nation's energy storage needs would be if it were to shift entirely to renewable energy sources, moving away from fossil fuels for electric power generation. The model offers policymakers critical information for use when making near-term decisions and engaging in long-term energy system planning.
