As one of the characters commented in the movie, “It has some thing to do with conscience.” Kelvin felt guilty about Hari’s suicide. He decided to stay on Solaris so he could be with the replica of his dead wife. Instead, he found his father that he left behind because he felt guilty about leaving him and everyone else behind on Earth. That was how I interpreted it.
