To: 2ndDivisionVet I want President Trump to announce that he is building a 60 foot solar panel wall the full length of the US-Mexico border!

Offhandedly thought of LA’s Disney Hall where they had to dull Frank Gehry’s asymmetric fun-house design because its mirrored surfaces were literally toasting nearby condo owners.
I figured that would be your reason. And I can’t totally disagree with you. But I wonder if the panels were angled north, with concrete on the south side, a lot of potential damage might be damaged.
Sure, because government property is never, ever vandalized in the U.S. right?
Neither is private property. Let’s not build anything!

Build a fifty foot tall concrete wall and then if people throw rocks at it then they're stupid. Hang expensive and breakable solar panels on it for them to throw rocks at then you're stupid.
As I wrote before, if they’re facing north with concrete on the southern side they can’t just throw rocks and hit the glass panels. Add a lexan barrier over the glass and they’d be almost unbreakable. There’s a reason you hire engineers and designers. They solve problems.
