Honestly, it is because solar panels alone are too unreliable (cloudy days, etc.) and WAY too expensive to use and maintain. It would not be economically feasible.
wow what a great question if it is true. I would guess that it might be a matter of scale. They may not have enough room on their roof for their power requirements. Factories typically use a lot more power per square foot of their buildings than, for example, residential applications. Perhaps they could partner with neighboring landowners for their space.
