Were those solar panels ever actually OPERABLE, or were they 'dummies', like Jimmah empty suitcases, which he always carried, acting like he was a regular guy, while the Secret Service actually carried his stuff?

Even if they WERE operable back in the late 1970s, they certainly wouldn't be useful today.

I think those solar panels were actually on the west wing and not the original white house itself, anyway.
