It doesn't even need to be a mountaintop as is the case with Ludington pumped storage in Michigan.

Another thing is transmission. If you have a lot of sun it doesn't mean everyone does. It's darker to the west as the sun rises. Building wires from generation in one place to load somewhere else has a long history. It's still a question of money. Want to move power from Ohio to Indiana? Ok. Want to move it from Ohio to Oregon? Unlikely.
