Or are they just so obscenely expensive?
If you could use these then you wouldn't really need batteries, which you do need if you go solar.
Is it even possible for a mortal to buy a RTG?
And it's the type of thing that is only used by government programs, very dangerous to handle, and which requires a whole specialized industry to produce. The accounting gets complicated. I wouldn't be surprised by a $100M cost per RTG unit.
