Because neighborhood residential systems aren't designed for that and demand during mid-day usually isn't that high. Australia, which has the highest penetration actually has to curtail rooftop solar systems at times because the local voltage gets too high for the equipment.
And as rooftop solar grows in an area, the almost certain consequence is that generous net-metering terms and feed-in tariffs get scaled way back closer to their actual value, sometimes even negative around noon.
