I wonder if they could just add a caboose to every train that would clean off the panels as it travels over them.

Especially since train toilets traditionally empty on the tracks... Although they probably no longer do these days.

(also I had to look "caboose" up)

Oh, well here we go:

“The panels are equipped with anti-reflective coatings to prevent glare, and cleaning systems, such as cylindrical brushes mounted on trains, help maintain efficiency by removing dust and debris.”

Lovely
