We in the electric car associations have wondered that for over 30 years. Ed Begley Jr. is one who long ago had converted to solar cell technology and is independent of the big utility companies. If all the house owners converted it would be a sad day for electric companies.

Honestly it will never happen just like we will never be rid of vehicles relying on oil and gas.
Part of the issue with solar panels is cost the other is not enough supply for demand. The last part the overall economics just wont allow for such a drastic change. Itll be at least 100 years or more before eco friendly alternatives are in place in every house.
All the other answers are correct but it all boils down to the greedy powers-that-be (though there is a better name for them) will never allow it. It’s money out of their pockets.
