Original Note:
President Jimmy Carter did indeed have solar panels installed on the roof of the White House in 1979. Ronald Reagan had them removed in 1986. They were removed while repairing the roof and there’s so no evidence that the solar panels caused damage to the roof. https://www.businessinsider.com/jimmy-carter-presidency-solar-panels-white-house-reagan-2023-2 https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/12/31/solar-panels-and-saving-energy-jimmy-carter-will-be-remembered-as-americas-first-green-pre https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2023/02/the-forgotten-story-of-jimmy-carters-white-house-solar-panels/ https://www.whitehousehistory.org/the-white-house-gets-solar-panels
