ABC article - Silicon Insider: Solar Companies Glow Despite Economic Slump Notes many of the items I blogged about in Solar Energy Growth including Moores Law. Currently there is huge demand, and still not enough supply. Applied Materials is touting growth in their solar equipment making area, while their chip semiconductor equipment orders are down.
The next area which needs work on is reducing the cost of installation. Site which has solar cost information updated monthly that I need to spend more time looking at. Installation cost of a unit includes the solar cells/module, an inverter (takes the DC outputted by the cells and creates AC out), batteries (may not be needed if you are connected to the grid, and batteries do go bad after 3-5 years usually), and the cost of installation.
