Solar efficiency is still terrible, so with more advancements it'll likely become much better.
But because it needs the sun to function, and the simple fact is that the sun doesn't shine all day, so you don't actually have consistent power production all day, it means it can't be used as baseload power.
Therefore it is a fill in solution only. Anyone who thinks differently is delusional.
