Innovation in solar is alive and well, says Renewable Energy World's Ucilia Wang.

It wasn't so long ago when some solar company executives – particularly those in the thin film business – dismissed the idea that innovation could still thrive in the world of crystalline silicon technology. The silicon technology was getting cheaper and factories were getti

MIT Technology Review's Martin Lamonica wrote a story today titled the Dog Days of Solar, which highlights a growing challenge that many solar companies are now battling -- overcoming an aging business model.

Lamonica notes that in addition to technological innovation, solar companies have to come up with more innovative business strategies these days to stay viable, or run the risk of falling prey to low costs commodity prices and global product overabundance.

Good story, read it here:

With more pilot projects in the field, energy storage has become a bigger theme for at the Intersolar, a big solar energy trade shows in the U.S. that is taking place in San Francisco this week.
