Just a correction, those weren't solar panels on the White House, they were solar water heaters.

Apparently they were not taken down just because Reagan didn't want them. The roof needed work and they were in the way. They were just not put back up.

Notably, GHWBush's mansion in Texas, shortly after, had solar water heating.

The correction is incorrect. Thermal solar panels are still solar panels, even though they are not PV panels.

And a chinese billionaire who started with solar water heaters and moved into PV has them on display in his solar power museum.
