Why would you want your utility provider to provide solar? Electricity is bought and sold in markets. Anyone with the capital can build a solar farm, sell the energy into grid, and allow local utility providers to buy it. If that energy happens to be the cheapest, then your utility provider will buy it. Thankfully wind and solar tend to be the cheapest forms of wholesale energy production. If you personally want to invest in solar, then you should look for cooperatives that are raising funds to build solar farms and put some capital in. But your utility provider should have nothing to do with this, they just provide the cables and buy energy to resell to you (exactly what they're responsible changes region to region, in some parts of the world they just buy and resell energy, and others maintain the cables). Expecting them to build solar would be like expecting your supermarket to manufacture every item on their shelves. They may manufacture some products because it makes sense for them to do so, but the majority are made by others.
