Solar panels are very expensive and the art of making them is far from perfect. This is not to mention that they are not effective in all areas of the world, and they are probably not effective all year round (depending on where they are placed).

Our economy relies heavily on fossil fuels. While researching and financing alternative energy resources would probably create more (and more contemporary/practical) jobs than they eliminated, the transition into an economy using alternative energy resources will take quite a long time. Many personnel must be trained in the development, construction, and installing of the panels.

The actual collection of solar power is not detrimental to the environment (i.e. releasing greenhouse gases), but the products to which the energy flows, and how those products are used, can still be hazardous to the environment.
