The biggest downside to using solar power in more than just individual homes (say, pushing it to the next level and powering entire cities on it) is the space needed. You're inevitably going to need a gigantic piece of land to be covered with black solar panels. You know the environmentalists won't like that.
Putting it on houses is all fine and dandy, if there are no problems. It's not a simple matter of set and forget, and some locations aren't viable for installing solar power, period. For every example of a successful situation, there's another where they could never get the full potential out of the panels, or they would break.
