I have no idea as to its feasibility or cost. Anyway I'll say no more, you're obviously a cantankerous argumentative old sot who is not worth engaging.
As the panels are not part of the structure of the wall, they are pure added cost. Given that a wall isn't a particularly apt foundation for solar panels, mounting them would add costs about the same as would accrue mounting them on a roof, which would be a better foundation. Moreover, since you can predict there will be attempts at scaling that wall, which would sure damage the panels (they don't like being trampled on), you might rather not install them on that particular wall. All that reveals the "wall plus solar panels" as a transparent, egregiously stupid ruse to pull the wool over the eyes of the gullible. Oh, since the direction of the sunlight requires the panels to be mounted on the southern, Mexican side, you can also predict that on the day the Americans are installing panels, while at night the Mexicans carry them off to power their homes. You know them "beaners", don't you?
Yeah, you are right about the "cantankerous argumentative old sot", but you've yet to show yourself to be worthy of being considered an opponent. Merely asserting your superiority sure doesn't cut it. You might start out defining what, exactly, a "climate realist" is, and by explaining how you differ from the garden-variety denialist.
