I don't think this issue of green hosting is simply about solar power. In Arizona solar power may work well, but in other places there is not enough sun to provide sufficient power, or the sun may not be the best and most efficient energy source.
Each host has to decide which method to use in their own circumstances, and in the case of this latest Rackspace data centre they chose to use renewable energy. In all cases there will be an issue about how green that energy is, because even solar power requires a lot of energy and pollution to produce the equipment necessary for a solar plant.
