Is it just an urban myth that we can't have operational solar panels on the ICC because of the glare it produces on flights going towards DCA?

Sounds like it. As I understood it, the panels were operational in the 1980's when the federal government paid for it, but at some point the cost wasn't worth the benefit and Georgetown opted not to upgrade when more efficient panels were on the market.

In an effort to reduce carbon emissions from its campus combined heat and power plant, the University has reversed its use of coal from 85 percent to 15 percent in recent years, with the majority of energy input to the power plant (about 85 percent) now coming from natural gas

Yay fracking!
