I was coming here to say- they'll install them just in time for Trump to take them off again.
I was pleasantly surprised that Trump didn't remove the W Bush era or Obama era installed solar panels at the White House. My only explanation as to why he didn't was because he didn't know they were there.
Trump probably didn't even know they were there.
I remember when Obama removed the W era solar panels, all the republicunts went bananas, screeching, "wHaT ABout tEh ENvirONMenT?!!1??" because they were too stupid to understand that Obama was upgrading them.
In 2003, the George W. Bush administration reinstalled solar thermal heaters. These units are used to heat water for landscape maintenance personnel and for the presidential pool and spa. One hundred sixty-seven solar photovoltaic grid-tied panels were installed at the same time on the roof of the maintenance facility. The changes were not publicized, as a White House spokeswoman said the changes were an internal matter. The story was picked up by industry trade journals.
In 2010, Steven Chu, the secretary of energy under the Barack Obama administration, announced that solar panels would be reinstalled on the roof saying that "As we move towards a clean energy economy, the White House will lead by example". The panels were installed in 2013, making it the first time solar power would be used for the president's living quarters.

Yeah. Let's not tell him. He probably can't look up anymore after staring at the solar eclipse so he won't notice them.
Unfortunately, if a Republican wins the WH, they'll rip it right off.
can't wait for Reagan to pull 'em off again
Zombie Reagan would still lose to Trump in the Republican primary
Zombies aren't real, it'd obviously be his ghost mad that things aren't trickling slow enough
Would certianly look cooler with an all crystal-blue roof
The blue panels are poly-crystaline which are cheaper but less efficient.
Mono-crystaline cells are more efficient but more expensive and are black or nearly black.
Which, tbf, would actually look even more awesome
How bout some bigger tax incentives?
