On June 20, 1979 President Jimmy Carter installed 32 solar panels, used to heat water, on the White House roof. In 1986 under the Reagan administration those panels were takenâ¦ down for a routine roof resurfacing and never returned.

The 16 solar panels on the southern face can produce nearly four kilowatts of electricity in the strong Phoenix sunshineâenough to offset much of the power required to cool his home in this hot climate.
