How is Trump going to help the coal industry if he puts solar panels on the border wall?

During a legislative agenda meeting Trump suggested that the border wall could be covered in solar panels to help with the cost. It really made me wonder one day he's supporting the coal industry the next day he's going green. Solar panels don't grow on trees so adding them to the wall would bring up the cost of the wall and it would take many years to start paying for the wall cost. Cheers!

    Most people who support coal/oil/gas and other fossil fuels also support an all of the above approach to energy sources. I know I do.

    It would be many years before the sale of 'solar-wall' electricity paid the cost of the solar panels. Also solar panels are not a 'one-time only' investment, they need to be cleaned and/or replaced every now and then.
