Dude you twisted what Donald Trump said. That is not the full quote, when you take things out of context it will from time to time look dumb. My guess is you are a Socialliberal out to get Trump that's why you took it out of context.
Here is the full quote
Question: You were joking about solar, right?
Trump: No, not joking, no. There is a chance that we can do a solar wall. We have major companies looking at that. Look, there's no better place for solar than the Mexico border -- the southern border. And there is a very good chance we can do a solar wall, which would actually look good. But there is a very good chance we could do a solar wall.
One of the things with the wall is you need transparency. You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can't see through that wall — so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall.
And I'll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them -- they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over. As cray as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs.

I hope a moderater can replace the op's quote with this one, thank you

That only makes it worse. A fixed wall is not very efficient for solar, solar roofs or tracking panels work much better. Besides Mexico is to the south, angle your solar panels correctly and you basically have a big ramp for Mexicans to climb over ;) Plus the infrastructure needed to regulate and transport power and maintain the solar panels will add a lot of costs.
Now put all that wall money into efficient solar farms instead. Then you have something useful.
