Because a lot of countries in the world, especially the EU, are subsidizing solar. That doesn't make it economical. Externalities ignored from fossil fuels, yes. That's not a subsidy though. I'm not saying they should ignore it, but if they do, they aren't the ones who pay for it.

That's not a good point though, a lot of countries, including the EU, also subsidize fossil fuels. Solar is cheaper, but requires more room and time to spin up (think datacenters, where you can put a turbine within a month) and storage or backups for windless nights.
