These solar panels need some tweaking.

US Customs and Border Protection seized nearly 300 pounds of methamphetamine that was hidden in a shipment of solar panels, the agency announced.

Law enforcement officials uncovered the illegal fake “green” cargo at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday morning, and they humorously called out the unknown drug smugglers on social media.

“We do this every day. These ‘criminal masterminds’ never stood a chance,” CBP gloated in a post on Facebook.

Images displayed CBP officials disassembling rectangular solar panels with aluminum linings, where a substantial stash of the highly addictive drugs was neatly hidden in brick formations.

The high-energy shipment was destined for New Zealand, officials said, citing “prior intel.”

Officials did not announce any arrests associated with the bust.

CBP has made a habit of touting victories with flourish.

Last week, the agency mocked an alleged illegal alien who wore an American flag T-shirt when he was apprehended in Buffalo, New York.
