My cursory Google says that it’s not impossible. So why?
EDIT: Answer seems to be that (politics aside) practically it’s cost prohibitive and the tech can’t transfer the energy over the distance required.

My answer is: there are. Where they are practical.
I’ve worked on the applications for a couple of solar farms just in the past few months. Generally they’re located on existing farms, and relatively close to rural centres. Often they’ll have wind turbines and the like on the same site. They have also been built along with Hydrogen Plants and Battery Energy Storage Systems. We’ve even had a few alongside new minesites.
They might not be happening as much as you’d like, or not being advertised, but they are certainly happening.
