How narrow is the wall? I have no idea what the specs are but I'll say it's .. what... 20 feet? Every solar panel installation I've seen is square, meaning it takes up alot of room along the X and Y axis. If Drumpf put panels on the wall they would all be inline with each other I assume.
I think that if the panels were inline, that it just might not be an efficient use of space. Trump would have to make his wall much wider to make electricity from solar panels efficient enough to cover the cost.

What makes you think a wall would be "twenty feet wide"? Wouldn't it only be a foot wide. The walls in my house are less than a foot wide; I don't believe I've ever seen a wall more than two or three feet thick...
This is the dumbest idea ever. Are we really going to put billions of dollars on the US border where Mexicans can steal them?
