Carter did it, Reagan undid it, with rather unkind comments.  The solar 
panels were stored in some DC area warehouse for a number of years; Unity 
College (Unity, Maine) asked for them and was soundly rebuffed.  As soon as 
the new administration was installed, they asked the new people and this 
time got them.  They were promptly fetched to Maine where they were 
installed and have been serving the college ever since.
