You're forgetting about transmission. That's one of the biggest hurdles towards a solar future. Putting the generation right next to where the power is used is much more efficient both in transmission, infrastructure and maintenance.
I actually had written a sentence about solar panels being closer to where the power consumption is, as an advantage. But that also implies that you are localizing other parts too, things like batteries. Which is feasible but it complicates things.
Not necessarily, you can hook them right up to the grid.
