Right, so it makes sense to use solar to smelt aluminum, but even if you smelt all the aluminum with solar you'd still need to transmit a ton of power from the isolated desert to the cities where people live.
It's the thing where the use of electricity is a large part of the production of aluminum, but the production of aluminum is not a large part of the use of electricity.
