Lots of reasons. Pricing is only now starting to become affordable. Solar is not the best in every situation (weather, roof size, legal & permits), availability, etc. And in some places like where I live, electricity is already very cheap and sourced from renewables (Hydro, Wind, Solar, Nuclear).

Solar is hard to sell. People already get energy from natural gas and coal and don't feel the need to change. Others don't always believe it when you show the hidden costs of fossil fuels. Others just don't want the "Ugly" panels or want to pay the perceived high costs. Whatever commissions sales reps get I'm sure its well deserved.
