“ Three of the panels are part of museum collections. One of the panels was donated by Unity College to the National Museum of American History in 2009. Another is on display at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Center. A third panel has been part of the Solar Science and Technology Museum in Dezhou, China since 2013.” [1]
Sounds like America chose “museum piece” from Carter’s options.

- blharr 2y agoI mean a 30 year old solar panel isn't going to be useful to be fair
- otteromkram 2y agoWho's "be fair" and why are we concerned about their solar panel usage?
- cyberge99 2y agoIt represents the road not taken. Reagan removed solar panels.
- bpodgursky 2y agoSort of. They had to replace the roof, and they didn't reinstall them. (they were also not "solar panels" it was solar water heating and it was sorta useful but mostly symbolic).
- anonu 2y agoNo the Carter solar panels were electric and not solar thermal.
- bpodgursky 2y agoNo, they were solar heating panels. This is so easy to look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_at_the_White_House https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_at_the_White_House
