All electricity is overhead for security reasons, routing solar energy through the rails would destroy that. Doing that (beyond the 100m test-track) would mean a prolongued political discussion.

Electricity is overhead for safety reasons (maybe that's what you meant by "security reasons"). As long as the voltage is kept low (< 48V) and the runs of solar panels aren't too long, the power can be run safely in the tracks.
