This misses the investment context which leads to companies choosing coal oil and gas over solar. The limiting factor on deployments continues to be "what to do when the sun doesn't shine bright". Night for starters and in a lot of the world, you have whole seasons where the skies are overcast nearly all day (monsoons). If you anyway have to couple solar with something else to make up for the variability in power generation (largely fuel based because Hydro and nuclear are massive government led projects) and you have to invest in expensive and bulky power storage to handle even the nights, why not pay a little more incremental money and get a slightly bigger fuel based power plant.
