At the cost of making any maintenance harder, creating a very long layout so no likelihood of redundant connections, and putting breakable objects in a high impact zone
If the system is made well, maybe it can be very easy to drive a carriage over them and remove a lot of them relatively quickly.
I wonder if they can get away with just using a single bolt for each panel. Or maybe none, just long pins and the power connection. Unplug and lift straight up? Maybe it doesn't have to be a big issue.
I'll have to check if there are detailed plans.
