I guess it is easier to control the deployment since they own the railroads.

And all the train depots and train stations are already covered in solar panels, I presume.

They don't need to because it is just a PoC and I don't think it hs been said anywhere that soloar panel between rain tracks would be the unique source of energy.

There are also a lot of vertical sound proofing barriers that could be equipped with panels.
