Buffalo News reports that Solar City (Tesla) now plan to drop Silevo's high efficiency cell design in favor of a well tested Panasonic design. Article also covers employment in the Buffalo area, money supplied for the factory and equipment by NY State. The change of course seems to be at least partly to changes in the solar panel market and also problems with Solar City's business model.
