It represents the road not taken. Reagan removed solar panels.

Sort 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).

No the Carter solar panels were electric and not solar thermal.

No, they were solar heating panels. This is so easy to look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_at_the_White_House

Don't worry, China is more than happy to take the road Americans haven't.
