Solar is much more limited by resources and manufacturing ability, likely would cost a lot more than this just in finished product, will take up a ton of land (very expensive), works much better in certain areas than others, plus the still unsolved problem of grid-scale storage for at night. You also need to still build the equipment to hook it up to power lines; if you can retrofit existing power plants into something that works 24/7, then that is a much better alternative. I think the reality is we need a “yes and” approach, not a “no but”.
