Our Business
Corporate History
     As discussed in this prospectus, we became the registrant through a reverse merger with Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.), on December 29, 2006, and we are considered the accounting acquirer and registrant following that merger. Welund Fund Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 16, 2002 under that name, and effective January 2006, pursuant to authorization of its stockholders, it changed its domicile from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada through a merger with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary which was a Nevada corporation. On October 4, 2006, it changed its name from Welund Fund Inc. to Solar Power Inc., and it effected a one-for-three reverse stock split. For purposes of discussion and

disclosure, we refer to the predecessor as Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.), to distinguish it from the registrant and accounting acquirer, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation.
     On August 6, 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, entered into share exchange agreement with all the shareholders of International Assembly Solutions, Limited (“IAS HK”), which was incorporated in Hong Kong on January 18, 2005 with limited liability. Solar Power, Inc. a California corporation was originally incorporated in the State of California to facilitate creation of a U.S. holding company for IAS HK operations and to engage in sales, installation and integration of photovoltaic systems in the U.S. Pursuant to the share exchange agreements, the equity owners of IAS HK transferred all their equity interest in IAS HK in exchange for a total of 14,000,000 shares of Solar Power, Inc. a California corporation, in November 2006. As a result, IAS HK became a wholly owned subsidiary of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation. There were a total of sixteen shareholders in IAS Hong Kong including the controlling shareholders Stephen Kircher, Gerald Moore and Bradley Ferrell. Mr. Kircher Chairman of the Board of IAS HK, held dispositive and voting control of 8,100,000 shares or approximately 58% of the outstanding shares. Mr. Kircher remains Chairman of the Board of IAS HK. Mr. Moore and Mr. Ferrell owned 4,100,000 (29%) and 1,500,000 (11%) shares respectively. Neither Mr. Moore nor Mr. Ferrell was a director of IAS HK. IAS HK does not have company officers and management and business decisions were made by Mr. Kircher. Being a group reorganization entered into among entities under common control, the Company combined the historical financial statements of IAS HK and its wholly owned subsidiary, IAS Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“IAS Shenzhen”). Messers. Kircher, Moore and Sam Lau were directors of IAS Shenzhen from inception until July 15, 2006, at which time our CFO replaced Mr. Moore as director. Mr. Kircher made business decisions for IAS Shenzhen, and it does not have formal officers.
     On August 23, 2006, Solar Power Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund Inc.) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation and Welund Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”). Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, also entered into a merger agreement with Dale Renewables Consulting, Inc. (“DRCI”) in order to accelerate its entry into the solar integration and installation business in California. On November 15, 2006 we closed that merger and assumed the existing installation contracts and retained DRCI’s employees. On December 29, 2006, Merger Sub merged with Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation and Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, (a) Solar Power Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund Inc.) sold its pool of finance receivables, (b) issued 14,500,000 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, (c) substituted 2,000,000 restricted stock awards and options of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation with restricted stock awards and options to purchase shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions of the Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation options and restricted stock awards, and (d) Solar Power Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund Inc.) directors and officers were replaced with the officers and directors of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation who assumed control of the combined companies. As a result of the Merger, Solar Power Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund Inc.) discontinued its former auto loans business and changed its focus and strategic direction and pursued operations in the solar power business. On February 15, 2007, Solar Power Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund Inc.) re-domiciled in the State of California pursuant to a merger with Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation as further described below under the section titled “Recent Events.”
Recent Events
     On January 3, 2007, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation repaid loans and notes payable to Stephen C. Kircher, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation’s CEO and Chairman of $327,562 which included principal of $320,000 and accrued interest of $7,562. The loan was paid prior to its due date due to the fact that its interest rate was greater than the interest the cash used to repay the loan could earn.
     In January 2007, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation repaid loans payable to Hannex Investment Ltd. of $270,829 which included principal of $245,000 and accrued interest of $25,829. The loan was paid prior to its due date due to the fact that its interest rate was greater than the interest the cash used to repay the loan could earn.
     In January 2007, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation paid $175,000 in cash and in February 2007, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation issued 31,435 shares of its common stock, fair valued at $31,435 to the shareholders of Sundance Power, LLC. in partial satisfaction of the contingent payment obligation accrued at December 31, 2006, in conjunction with a Revenue Sharing Agreement between Sundance Power, LLC and Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation.
     On February 7, 2007, the stockholders approved Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan which permits us to grant stock options to directors, officers or employees or others to purchase shares of common stock of Solar Power,

Inc., a California corporation through awards of Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Options (“Options”), Stock (“Restricted Stock” or “Unrestricted Stock”) and Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”). The Plan was approved by the Stockholders subsequent to year-end.
     On February 15, 2007, we completed our redomicile into the State of California. The redomicile was duly approved by both our respective Board of Directors and a majority of our stockholders at our annual meeting of shareholders held on February 7, 2007. The redomicile was completed by means of a merger between us and Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, which was our wholly-owned subsidiary at that time, with Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation being the surviving corporation. We redomiciled to change the corporate law governing us to California law, the state of our U.S. operations.
     As part of the redomicile, on February 15, 2007, each outstanding share of our common stock, par value $.0001, was automatically converted into one share, par value $.0001, of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation common stock, all of our property, rights, privileges, and powers vested in Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, and all of our debts, liabilities and duties became the debts, liabilities and duties of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation. Additionally, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation and the Bylaws of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, became the governing documents of the surviving corporation. The directors and officers of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation immediately prior to the effective date of the re-domicile, continue to be the directors and officers of the surviving corporation. The redomicile resulted in no change in our management because all of our directors and officers were also directors and officers of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation prior to the re-incorporation.
     On March 21, 2007 we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Solar Power Integrators, Commercial, Inc. (“SPIC”) entered into a General Partnership Agreement with J.R. Conkey and Associates, Inc. (“JRC”). JRC is owned by James R. Conkey. Mr. Conkey invested $100,000 into Solar Power, Inc.’s (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) private placement in October 2006. He acquired 100,000 shares in that transaction. Mr. Conkey’s shares are being registered as part of our registration statement pending with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The 100,000 shares represent the total of Mr. Conkey’s investment in Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation and he is not a related party to the Company. The partnership will engage in the sales, design and installation of solar systems in certain market segments for solar contracts within California. As initial capital contributions to the partnership, JRC is contributing $25,500 and SPIC is contributing $24,500. JRC is the managing partner of the partnership and will manage and conduct the day-to-day business affairs of the partnership. Additionally, JRC will be responsible for all marketing and sales efforts, establishing and maintaining customer relationships, and contract management. SPIC will be responsible for exclusively supplying all solar panels or other solar materials to the partnership and for design, engineering, and installation of all solar systems for customers. SPIC will control financial and accounting records. The Company has determined that this partnership will be subject to consolidation based on its interpretation of FIN 46(R) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (as amended). Specifically under FIN 46(R), paragraph 5(a)(4), the Company has additional risk with loans that will be advanced to the partnership. We entered into the partnership in an effort to capitalize on certain government relationships which JRC has through its VA certification. Through April 28, 2008, no activity has occurred in the partnership. In addition, neither JRC or the Company has contributed initial capital or performed any of the stated responsibilities.
     On April 9, 2007, we entered into a standard Securities Purchase Agreement with E-Ton Solar Tech, Co. Ltd. a foreign accredited investor as part of a private placement to raise $500,000 (the “Financing”). In connection with the Financing, we sold an aggregate of 500,000 shares of restricted common stock par value $0.0001 per share, at a purchase price of $1.00 per (the per share value of our most recent private placement) share for an aggregate sale price of $500,000 to the investor. E-Ton Solar Tech, Co. Ltd. is one of several of our solar panel suppliers and not considered to be a related party to the Company. These shares are not being registered as part of our SB-2 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction was viewed as a strategic relationship with a significant player in our industry.
     On April 12 and 17, 2007 we issued standby letters of credit totaling $800,000 to two suppliers, Sharp Electronics and Kyocera Solar. The letters of credit were issued in support of our line of credit to purchase solar panels from these suppliers. The suppliers have no interest in us and are not considered related parties. The term of the letters of credit are twelve months and are collateralized by $800,000 of our cash. The letters of credit support our purchase of product and materials from those entities related to our business.
     On June 5, 2007, the Company entered into a capitalized lease agreement with California First Leasing Corporation to finance the purchase approximately $581,000 of software and hardware. The term of the lease is thirty-six months; the Company paid an initial security deposit of approximately $9,000 and secured the lease with a letter of credit collateralized by the Company’s cash deposits.

On July 31, 2007 that letter of credit was increased to $601,100 to secure an increase to principal and interest to the capital lease agreement.
     On July 25, 2007, the Company entered into an office lease for the relocation of the Company headquarters. The building is located in Roseville, California and has approximately 19,000 square feet. The term of the lease is five years commencing on August 1, 2007, with an initial rent of approximately $343,000 per year and has an option to renew for an additional five years. On July 25, 2007, the Company paid a security deposit and first-months rent of approximately $60,000.
     On August 14, 2007, through its wholly owned subsidiary Yes! Solar, Inc., the Company filed with the State of California Department of Corporations a Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (“UFOC”) for approval and Solar Power, Inc. executed a Guarantee of Performance of Yes! Solar, Inc. to the State of California Department of Corporations. The Company has received approval of the UFOC and has begun marketing its franchise program. In March 2008, Yes! Solar, Inc. entered into two franchise agreements for territories in California.
     On December 13, 2007, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Yes! Solar, Inc.

The agreement provides that the Company will provide a standby letter of credit equal to the greater of $50,000 or one percent of sales under the Agreement. A standby letter of credit in the amount of $50,000 was issued on November 14, 2007 as a condition to the execution of the Agreement. The term of the letter of credit is for one year. As of April 21, 2008 there were no sales under this Agreement.
     On December 20, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 4,513,911 shares of its common stock at $2.60 per share. Gross proceeds from the placement were approximately $11,736,000. In conjunction with the private placement the Company issued 1,489,580 shares underlying warrants to purchase our common stock at an exercise price of $3.90 per share.
Overview
     We are currently engaged in manufacturing and selling cable, wire and mechanical assemblies, in designing, distributing and installing complete photovoltaic systems for industrial, commercial and residential facilities located primarily in the United States and manufacturing photovoltaic modules, utilizing both Monocrystalline and Multicrystalline silicone, in our China factory. Currently, the factory utilizes approximately fifty percent of its capacity. The remaining un-utilized capacity is being reserved for photovoltaic module and balance of system expansion.
     We bring our solar power products to market by utilizing strategic company-owned store operations and intend to establish a national franchise network. We opened our first energy outlet in Northern California in October 2007. Company-owned store operations market, sell and install our products within a locally defined geographic area.
     Outside of Company-owned store operations, we intend to work with franchisee partners who will have exclusive geographical territories that include specific application focus. Each franchise partner will establish retail operations in a defined geographic area to market, sell and install photovoltaic systems. In March 2008, the Company entered into its first two franchise sale agreements.
     In our early history, our revenue was derived principally from the sale of cable and wire harnesses, and mechanical assemblies. With the launch of our solar module business, and efforts in installation and sale of those modules, we have realized increased revenues. We anticipate that revenues from our solar module business will continue as we expand our market for installation contracts. We anticipate similar increases in the future from our franchising for residential projects. With our efforts increasingly directed at solar module manufacturing and installation in the U.S., we will continue to assess our internal resource needs. We have made a significant number of hires recently to manage construction projects, and anticipate continued hiring as we grow the business. Currently, significant resources have been used in the establishment of our corporate structure for finance, reporting, and governance, and we would anticipate that such expenses will decrease, as a percentage of revenue, as our business from solar installation increases.

Additionally, we have expended resources directed at creating our franchise model and roll out, including documentation associated with those efforts, and have not recognized any revenue from that component of our business.
     As a result of the Merger described previously, our operations are now conducted through Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, and our wholly-owned subsidiaries located in California and in China.
     Management is considering the impact of the following areas as it implements the manufacturing of complete photovoltaic systems and planned business model:
    Solar cell pricing trends around the world: Recently the key material in the production of solar cells (silicon) has been in limited in supply. Consequently, prices and availability of solar modules have been limited. Solar cells are the major component cost in a photovoltaic module. The Company has responded by seeking long-term supply agreements for solar cells where pricing is adjusted quarterly to market rates. To date the Company has not entered into any long-term supply agreements for solar cells. Our intent is secure ample solar cell supply to meet our growth needs and to avoid the risk of long-term contract pricings with suppliers whose products are expected to see a decline in the average selling price. Industry experts believe that additional planned expansion of silicon processing factories coming on line over the next 18 months will produce enough raw materials to create an oversupply on projected demand. Failure to effectively manage our supply will hinder our expected growth and our component costs may have an adverse affect on the Company’s profitability; and
    Government subsidies: Federal and State subsidies relating directly to solar installations are an important factor in the planned growth of the solar industry. These subsidies are very important to growing the market for photovoltaic systems because they provide a significant economic incentive to all buyers. Without these incentives, industry growth would likely stall. These regulations are constantly being amended and will have a direct effect on our rollout of our planned franchise network among those states that offer superior incentives to the solar industry.
Our Strategy and Products
     Our business strategy is to develop, manufacture and market solar panels and system component products as a complete photovoltaic system to industrial, commercial and residential facilities located primarily in the United States.
Our principal products include the following:
    Modules. A solar module is an assembly of solar cells that have been electrically interconnected and laminated in a physically durable and weather-tight package. A typical solar module can produce from 20 to 300 watts of power and range in size from 2 to 25 square feet. Our typical commercial module will range from 180 to 220 watts.
    Systems. A solar system is an assembly of one or more solar modules that have been physically mounted and electrically interconnected to produce electricity. System components include inverters, meters, racking systems, cables and wiring. Typical residential on-grid systems produce between 2,000 to 6,000 watts of power.
     We intend to make solar modules and systems our primary products. We believe our modules will be competitive with other products in the marketplace and will be certified to international standards of safety, reliability and quality.
     If our development programs are successful, we expect to continue to increase the conversion efficiency and power of our solar modules as we expand our manufacturing capacity and increase our efficiencies through ongoing process improvement with a specific emphasis on reducing labor on installations.
Principal Offices
     Our principal executive offices are located at 1115 Orlando Avenue, Roseville, CA 95661-5247 which is also our mailing address. Our telephone number is (916) 745-0900.

Risks Related to Our Business
We have limited experience manufacturing solar systems on a commercial basis and have a limited operating history on which to base our prospects and anticipated results of operations.
We commenced solar power-related operations in June 2006 and began manufacturing solar modules in April 2007. As a result, we have limited experience manufacturing solar systems on a commercial basis. Our IAS (Shenzhen) Electronics Co., Ltd. subsidiary completed its first mechanical assembly manufacturing line in May 2005 and began commercial shipment of its cable, wire and mechanical products in June 2005. Although we are continuing to develop our solar manufacturing capabilities and processes, we do not know whether the processes we have developed will be capable of supporting large-scale manufacturing, or whether we will be able to develop the other processes necessary for large-scale manufacturing of solar systems that meet the requirements for cost, schedule, quality, engineering, design, production standards and volume requirements. If we fail to develop or obtain the necessary manufacturing capabilities it will significantly alter our business plans and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, due to our limited operating history, our historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and prospects. We have incurred net losses since our inception and, as of December 31, 2007, had an accumulated deficit of $9.4 million. We may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period; if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price may decline significantly.
Several factors can contribute to significant quarterly and other periodic fluctuations in our results of operations. These factors may include but are not limited to the following:
    the timing of orders;
 
    the volume of orders relative to our capacity;
 
    the availability and pricing of raw materials, such as solar cells and wafers;
 
    delays in delivery of components or raw materials by our suppliers, which could cause delays in our delivery of products to our customers;

7


Table of Contents

    delays in our product sales, design and qualification processes, which vary widely in length based upon customer requirements;
 
    product introductions and market acceptance of new products or new generations of products;
 
    effectiveness in managing manufacturing processes;
 
    changes in cost and availability of labor and components;
 
    product mix;
 
    pricing and availability of competitive products and services;
 
    changes in government regulations;
 
    changes or anticipated changes in economic conditions;
 
    delays in installation of specific projects due to inclement weather;
 
    political uncertainties in China;
 
    changes in tax-based incentive programs;
 
    changes in currency translation rates affecting margins and pricing levels; and availability of financing for customers.
We base our planned operating expenses in part on our expectations of future revenue, and we believe a significant portion of our expenses will be fixed in the short-term. If revenue for a particular quarter is lower than we expect, we likely will be unable to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that quarter, which would harm our operating results for that quarter. This may cause us to miss analysts’ guidance or any guidance announced by us. If we fail to meet or exceed analyst or investor expectations or our own future guidance, even by a small amount, our stock price could decline, perhaps substantially.
Our business strategy depends on the widespread adoption of solar power technology, and if demand for solar power products fails to develop sufficiently, our revenues and ability to achieve or maintain profitability could be harmed.
The market for solar power products is emerging and rapidly evolving, and its future success is uncertain. If solar power technology proves unsuitable for widespread commercial deployment or if demand for solar power products fails to develop sufficiently, we may not be able to generate enough revenues to achieve and sustain profitability. The factors influencing the widespread adoption of solar power technology include but are not limited to:
    cost-effectiveness of solar power technologies as compared with conventional and non-solar alternative energy technologies;
 
    performance and reliability of solar power products as compared with conventional and non-solar alternative energy products;
 
    success of other alternative distributed generation technologies such as fuel cells, wind power and micro turbines;
 
    fluctuations in economic and market conditions which impact the viability of conventional and non-solar alternative energy sources, such as increases or decreases in the prices of oil and other fossil fuels; and
 
    availability of government subsidies and incentives.

If we do not obtain sufficient supply of solar cells and other components and materials to conduct our business, our revenues and operating results could suffer.
There are a limited number of solar cell suppliers. Our estimate regarding our supply needs may not be correct and our purchase orders may be cancelled by our suppliers. If our suppliers cancel our purchase orders or change the volume or pricing associated with these purchase orders, we may be unable to meet existing and future customer demand for our products, which could cause us to lose customers, market share and revenue.
Our component and materials suppliers may fail to meet our needs. We manufacture all of our solar power products using materials and components procured from a limited number of third-party suppliers. We do not currently have long-term supply contracts with our suppliers. This generally serves to reduce our commitment risk but does expose us to supply risk and to price increases that we may not be able to pass on to our customers. In some cases, supply shortages and delays in delivery may result in curtailed production or delays in production, which could contribute to a decrease in inventory levels and loss of profit. We expect that shortages and delays in deliveries of some components will occur from time to time. If we are unable to obtain sufficient components on a timely basis, we may experience manufacturing delays, which could harm our relationships with current or prospective customers and reduce our sales. We also depend on a select number of suppliers for certain supplies that we use in our business. If we are unable to continue to purchase components from these limited source suppliers or are unable to identify alternative suppliers, our business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. In addition our competitors may be able to obtain better pricing.
The execution of our growth strategy is dependent upon the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for our customers.
For many of our projects, our customers have entered into agreements to pay for solar energy over an extended period of time based on energy savings generated by our solar power systems, rather than paying us to purchase our solar power systems. For these types of projects, most of our customers choose to purchase solar electricity under a power purchase agreement with a financing company that purchases the system from us. These structured finance arrangements are complex and may not be feasible in some situations. In addition, customers opting to finance a solar power system may forgo certain tax advantages associated with an outright purchase on an accelerated basis which may make this alternative less attractive for certain potential customers. If financing companies are unwilling or unable to finance the cost of our products, or if the parties that have historically provided this financing cease to do so, or only do so on terms that are substantially less favorable for us or these customers, our growth will be adversely affected.
Subsidies provided by foreign governments impact the supply and price of solar cells and could make it difficult for us to compete effectively.
Several foreign countries, including Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal, provide manufacturers of solar products with substantial subsidies to encourage their production of clean solar energy. In many instances, these subsidies are greater than the subsidies we are able to obtain in the U.S. for our operations, which increases the ability of solar product manufacturers in these countries to pay more than we can pay for solar cells while still remaining profitable. If worldwide demand for solar cells from companies located in countries with large solar subsidy programs increases, our suppliers may increase the price they charge to purchase solar cells and allocate available supplies of solar cells to manufacturers located in countries with higher solar subsidies than those provided in the U.S. This risk will increase if more countries implement policies to further subsidize solar technologies. These increased costs and supply constraints could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to compete effectively.
The solar power industry is currently experiencing an industry-wide shortage of polysilicon. This shortage poses several risks to our business, including possible constraints on revenue growth and possible decreases in our gross margins and profitability.
There is currently an industry-wide shortage of polysilicon, which has resulted in significant price increases in solar cells. Polysilicon is an essential raw material used in the production of solar cells. We expect that the average spot price of polysilicon will continue to increase in the near-term. Increases in polysilicon prices could increase the price we pay for solar cells, which could impact our manufacturing costs and our net income. Even with these price increases, demand for solar cells has increased, and many of our principal competitors have announced plans to add additional manufacturing capacity. As this manufacturing capacity becomes operational, it may increase the demand for polysilicon in the near-term and further exacerbate the current shortage. Polysilicon is also used in the semiconductor industry generally and any increase in demand from that sector will compound the shortage. The production of polysilicon is capital intensive and adding additional capacity requires significant lead time. While we are aware that several new facilities for the manufacture of polysilicon are under construction, we do not believe that the supply imbalance will be remedied in the near-term, which could lead to higher prices for, and reduced availability of, solar cells.

Table of Contents

As polysilicon supply increases, the corresponding increase in the global supply of solar cells and panels may cause substantial downward pressure on the prices of our products, resulting in lower revenues and earnings.
The scarcity of polysilicon has resulted in the underutilization of solar panel manufacturing capacity at many of our competitors and potential competitors, particularly in China. As additional polysilicon becomes available, we expect solar panel production globally to increase. Decreases in polysilicon pricing and increases in solar panel production could each result in substantial downward pressure on the price of solar cells and panels, including our products. Such price reductions could have a negative impact on our revenue and earnings, and materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.
If we do not achieve satisfactory yields or quality in manufacturing our solar modules or if our suppliers furnish us with defective solar cells, our sales could decrease and our relationships with our customers and our reputation may be harmed.
The success of our business depends upon our ability to incorporate high quality and yield solar cells into our products. We test the quality and yield of our solar products and the solar cells that we incorporate into our solar products, and we source our solar cells from manufacturers we believe are reputable. Nonetheless, our solar modules may contain defects that are not detected until after they are shipped or are installed because we cannot test for all possible scenarios. These defects could cause us to incur significant re-engineering costs, divert the attention of our engineering personnel from product development efforts and significantly affect our customer relations and business reputation. In addition, we may not be able to fulfill our purchase orders if we purchase a large number of defective solar cells. The number of solar cells that we purchase at any time is based upon expected demand for our products and an assumed ratio of defective to non-defective solar cells. If this ratio is greater than expected, we may not have an adequate number of non-defective solar cells to allow us to fulfill our purchase orders on time. If we do not fulfill orders for our products because we have a shortage of non-defective solar cells or deliver modules with errors or defects, or if there is a perception that these solar cells or solar modules contain errors or defects, our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of our products could be harmed.
Potential strategic acquisitions or alliances may not achieve our objectives.
We are currently exploring additional strategic acquisitions or alliances designed to enhance or complement our technology or to work in conjunction with our technology, increase our manufacturing capacity, provide additional know-how, components or supplies and develop, introduce and distribute products and services utilizing our technology and know-how. If we make any acquisitions we may assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions by us also may result in significant write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could harm our operating results. We may not identify or complete these transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all. Any strategic acquisitions or alliances entered into may not achieve our strategic objectives, and parties to our strategic acquisitions or alliances may not perform as contemplated.
We may not be able to efficiently integrate the operations of our acquisitions, products or technologies.
From time to time, we may acquire new and complementary technology, assets and companies. We do not know if we will be able to complete any acquisitions or if we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired businesses, operate them profitably or retain key employees. Integrating any other newly acquired business, product or technology could be expensive and time-consuming, disrupt our ongoing business and distract our management. We may face competition for acquisition targets from larger and more established companies with greater financial resources. In addition, in order to finance any acquisitions, we might be forced to obtain equity or debt financing on terms that are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financing our stockholders interests may be diluted. If we are unable to integrate effectively any newly acquired company, product or technology, our business, financial condition and operating results could suffer.
Failure to optimize our manufacturing potential and cost structure could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
We have one manufacturing facility in China. We strive to fully utilize the manufacturing capacity of our facility but may not do so on a consistent basis. Our factory utilization will be dependent on predicting volatility, timing volume sales to our customers, balancing our productive resources with product mix, and planning manufacturing services for new or other products that we intend to produce. Demand for manufacturing of these products may not be as high as we expect, and we may fail to realize the expected benefit from our investment in our manufacturing facilities. Our profitability and operating results are also dependent upon a variety of other

10


Table of Contents

factors, including: utilization rates of our manufacturing lines, downtime due to product changeover, impurities in raw materials causing shutdowns, maintenance of operations and availability of power, water and labor resources.
The reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives could cause our revenue to decline.
We believe that the growth of the market for “on-grid” applications, where solar power is used to supplement a customer’s electricity purchased from the utility network, depends in large part on the availability and size of government-generated economic incentives. At present, the cost producing solar energy generally exceeds the price of electricity in the U.S. from traditional sources. As a result, to encourage the adoption of solar technologies, the U.S. government and numerous state governments have provided subsidies in the form of cost reductions, tax write-offs and other incentives to end users, distributors, systems integrators and manufacturers of solar power products. Reduction, elimination and/or periodic interruption of these government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, fiscal tightening or other reasons may result in the diminished competitiveness of solar energy, and materially and adversely affect the growth of these markets and our revenues. Electric utility companies that have significant political lobbying powers may push for a change in the relevant legislation in our markets. The reduction or elimination of government subsidies and economic incentives for on-grid solar energy applications, especially those in our target markets, could cause our revenues to decline and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The existing Federal Investment Tax Credit is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2008 unless renewed by the United States Government.
We face intense competition, and many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do.
We operate in a competitive environment that is characterized by price fluctuation and technological change. We compete with major international and domestic companies. Our major system integrator competitors include SunPower/Powerlight, SPG Solar, Akeena Solar, Sun Edison, Global Solar plus numerous other regional players, and other similar companies primarily located in California and New Jersey. Manufacturing competitors include multinational corporations such as BP Solar, Kyocera Corporation, Mitsubishi, Solar World AG, Sharp Corporation, SunPower/Powerlight and Sanyo Corporation. More specifically, our solar power system integrator competitors who have manufacturing facilities in Asia include SunPower/Powerlight. Some of our current and potential competitors have greater market recognition and customer bases, longer operating histories and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, purchasing, manufacturing, personnel and other resources than we do. In addition, many of our competitors are developing and are currently producing products based on new solar power technologies that may ultimately have costs similar to, or lower than, our projected costs. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to changing customer demands or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sales of solar and solar-related products than we can.
Our business relies on sales of our solar power products and our competitors with more diversified product offerings may be better positioned to withstand a decline in the demand for solar power products. Some of our competitors own, partner with, have longer term or stronger relationships with solar cell providers which could result in them being able to obtain solar cells on a more favorable basis than us. It is possible that new competitors or alliances among existing competitors could emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share, which would harm our business. If we fail to compete successfully, our business would suffer and we may lose or be unable to gain market share.
Because our industry is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry, we may lose market share to larger companies that are better equipped to weather a deterioration in market conditions due to increased competition.
Our industry is highly competitive and fragmented, subject to rapid change and has low barriers to entry. We may in the future compete for potential customers with solar and HVAC systems installers and servicers, electricians, utilities and other providers of solar power equipment or electric power. Some of these competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources and greater name recognition than we have.
We believe that our ability to compete depends in part on a number of factors outside of our control, including:
    the ability of our competitors to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel;
 
    the ownership by competitors of proprietary tools to customize systems to the needs of a particular customer;
 
    the price at which others offer comparable services and equipment;

11


Table of Contents

    the extent of our competitors’ responsiveness to customer needs; and
 
    installation technology.
Competition in the solar power services industry may increase in the future, partly due to low barriers to entry, as well as from other alternative energy resources now in existence or developed in the future. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share and greater competition for qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. If we are unable to compete effectively, or if competition results in a deterioration of market conditions, our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.
Our growth plans depend in large part on our ability to identify, attract and retain qualified franchisees and to manage our proposed franchise business.
We expect to grow our business through franchise partners who will establish retail operations in defined geographic areas to market, sell and install photovoltaic systems. As a result, our future growth will depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified franchisees, the franchisees’ ability to execute our business concept, create and maintain brand recognition, develop retail stores and to market and install our products. We may not be able to recruit franchisees who have sufficient expertise in our business or financial resources necessary to effectively open, manage and operate retail stores, or who will conduct operations in a manner consistent with our concept and standards. Also, our franchisees may not be able to operate the retail stores in a profitable manner.
Federal Trade Commission rules require us to furnish prospective franchisees with a franchise disclosure document containing prescribed information before entering into a binding agreement or accepting any payment for the franchise. Numerous states, including California, also have state franchise sales or business opportunity laws which require us to add to the federal disclosure document additional state-specific disclosures and to register our offering with a state agency before we may offer franchises for locations in the state or to state residents. Applicable laws in these states vest state examiners with discretion to disapprove registration applications based on a number of factors. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining registration in all states where we intend to operate franchises or be able to continue to comply with these regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Finally, our franchise operations will be dependent upon our ability to:
    develop, maintain and enhance our brands;
 
    maintain satisfactory relations with our franchisees;
 
    develop consistency in installation, training and service among our franchisees;
 
    monitor and audit the reports and payments received from franchisees; and
 
    monitor the quality of the installations completed by our franchisees.
A few customers account for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss of any of these could harm our business.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, three customers contributed 53% of our total sales revenue, including one customer who contributed 34% to our revenue. This compares to the similar period in calendar 2006 when four customers contributed 73% of total sales revenue, including one customer which contributed 38% of our revenue. Under present conditions, the loss of any combination of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our performance, liquidity and prospects.
We generally do not have long-term agreements with our customers and, accordingly, could lose customers without warning.
Our products are generally not sold pursuant to long-term agreements with customers, but instead are sold on a purchase order basis. We typically contract to perform large projects with no assurance of repeat business from the same customers in the future. Although cancellations on our purchase orders to date have been insignificant, our customers may cancel or reschedule purchase orders with us on relatively short notice. Cancellations or rescheduling of customer orders could result in the delay or loss of anticipated sales without allowing us sufficient time to reduce, or delay the incurrence of, our corresponding inventory and operating expenses. In

12


Table of Contents

addition, changes in forecasts or the timing of orders from these or other customers expose us to the risks of inventory shortages or excess inventory. This, in addition to the completion and non-repetition of large systems projects, in turn could cause our operating results to fluctuate.
Decrease in construction could adversely affect our business.
During 2007, all of our solar-related revenues were generated from the design and installation of solar power products in newly constructed and renovated buildings, plants and residences. Our ability to generate revenues from construction contracts will depend on the number of new construction starts and renovations, which should correlate with the cyclical nature of the construction industry and be affected by general and local economic conditions, changes in interest rates, lending standards and other factors. For example, the current housing slump and tightened credit markets have resulted in reduced new home construction, which could limit our ability to sell solar products to residential and commercial developers.
We act as the general contractor for our customers in connection with the installations of our solar power systems and are subject to risks associated with construction, bonding, cost overruns, delays and other contingencies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We act as the general contractor for our customers in connection with the installation of our solar power systems. All essential costs are estimated at the time of entering into the sales contract for a particular project, and these are reflected in the overall price that we charge our customers for the project. These cost estimates are preliminary and may or may not be covered by contracts between us or the other project developers, subcontractors, suppliers and other parties to the project. In addition, we require qualified, licensed subcontractors to install most of our systems. Shortages of such skilled labor could significantly delay a project or otherwise increase our costs. Should miscalculations in planning a project or defective or late execution occur, we may not achieve our expected margins or cover our costs. Also, many systems customers require performance bonds issued by a bonding agency. Due to the general performance risk inherent in construction activities, it has become increasingly difficult recently to secure suitable bonding agencies willing to provide performance bonding. In the event we are unable to obtain bonding, we will be unable to bid on, or enter into, sales contracts requiring such bonding.
Delays in solar panel or other supply shipments, other construction delays, unexpected performance problems in electricity generation or other events could cause us to fail to meet these performance criteria, resulting in unanticipated and severe revenue and earnings losses and financial penalties. Construction delays are often caused by inclement weather, failure to timely receive necessary approvals and permits, or delays in obtaining necessary solar panels, inverters or other materials. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Existing regulations and policies of the electric utility industry and changes to these regulations and policies may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of our products, which may significantly reduce demand for our products.
The market for electricity generating products is strongly influenced by federal, state and local government regulations and policies concerning the electric utility industry, as well as policies promulgated by electric utilities. These regulations and policies often relate to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation. In the U.S., these regulations and policies are being modified and may continue to be modified. Customer purchases of alternative energy sources, including solar power technology, could be deterred by these regulations and policies, which could result in a significant reduction in the demand for our solar power products. For example, without a regulatory-mandated exception for solar power systems, utility customers are often charged interconnection or standby fees for putting distributed power generation on the electric utility grid. These fees could increase the cost to our customers and make our solar power products less desirable.
The failure to increase or restructure the net metering caps could adversely affect our business. Currently all grid-tied photovoltaic systems are installed with cooperation by the local utility providers under guidelines created through statewide net metering policies. These policies require local utilities to purchase from end users excess solar electricity for a credit against their utility bills. The amount of solar electricity that the utility is required to purchase is referred to as a net metering cap. If these net metering caps are reached and local utilities are not required to purchase solar power, or if the net metering caps do not increase in the locations where we install our solar product, demand for our products could decrease. The solar industry is currently lobbying to extend these arbitrary net metering caps, and replace them with either notably higher numbers, or with a revised method of calculation that will allow the industry to continue our expansion in a manner consistent with both the industry and state and federal desires.

Table of Contents

Moreover, we anticipate that our solar power products and our installation will be subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with national and local ordinances relating to building codes, safety, environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering and related matters. It is difficult to track the requirements of individual states and design equipment to comply with the varying standards. Any new government regulations or utility policies pertaining to our solar power products may result in significant additional expenses to us, our resellers, and our customers and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for our solar power products.
Compliance with environmental regulations can be expensive, and noncompliance with these regulations may result in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages and fines.
As our manufacturing processes generate noise, wastewater, gaseous and other industrial wastes, we are required to comply with all national and local regulations regarding protection of the environment. If we fail to comply with present or future environmental regulations, we may be required to pay substantial fines, suspend production or cease operations. In addition, our cost to comply with future regulations may increase, which could adversely impact the price of our products and our profitability.
If we do not retain key personnel, our business will suffer.
The success of our business is heavily dependent on the leadership of our key management personnel, specifically Stephen C. Kircher. In addition, the company currently relies on Todd Lindstrom’s construction experience and management for the installation of solar systems. If either of these people were to leave us, it would be difficult to replace them, and our business may be harmed. We will also need to retain additional highly-skilled individuals if we are to effectively grow our business. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization. Competition in our industry for qualified employees is intense, and we anticipate that certain of our competitors may directly target our employees and officers, all of whom are at-will employees and not parties to employment agreements with us. Our continued ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new qualified employees and to retain and motivate our existing employees and officers.
The growth of our business is dependent upon sufficient capitalization.
The growth of our business depends on our ability to finance new products and services. We operate in a rapidly changing industry. Technological advances, the introduction of new products and new design and manufacturing techniques could adversely affect our business unless we are able to adapt to the changing conditions. To remain competitive, we may incur additional costs in product development, equipment, facilities and integration resources. These additional costs may result in greater fixed costs and operating expenses. As a result, we could be required to expend substantial funds for and commit significant resources to the following:
    research and development activities on existing and potential product solutions;
    additional engineering and other technical personnel;
 
    advanced design, production and test equipment;
 
    manufacturing services that meet changing customer needs;
 
    technological changes in manufacturing processes;
 
    long cycle times for payment collection after incurring capital costs;
 
    manufacturing capacity; and
 
    developing a franchise network.

We generally recognize revenue on system installations on a “percentage of completion” basis and payments are due upon the achievement of contractual milestones and any delay or cancellation of a project could adversely affect our business.
We recognize revenue on our system installations on a “percentage of completion” basis and, as a result, our revenue from these installations is driven by the performance of our contractual obligations, which is generally driven by timelines for the installation of our solar power systems at customer sites. This could result in unpredictability of revenue and, in the near term, a revenue decrease. As with any project-related business, there is the potential for delays within any particular customer project. Variation of project timelines and estimates may impact our ability to recognize revenue in a particular period. In addition, certain customer contracts may include payment milestones due at specified points during a project. Because we must invest substantial time and incur significant expense in advance of achieving milestones and the receipt of payment, failure to achieve milestones could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We are subject to particularly lengthy sales cycles in some markets.
Our focus on developing a customer base that requires our solar power products means that it may take longer to develop strong customer relationships or partnerships. Moreover, factors specific to certain industries also have an impact on our sales cycles. Some of our customers may have longer sales cycles that could occur due to the timing of various state and federal subsidies. These lengthy and challenging sales cycles may mean that it could take longer before our sales and marketing efforts result in revenue, if at all, and may have adverse effects on our operating results, financial condition, cash flows and stock price.
Products we manufacture for third parties may contain design or manufacturing defects, which could result in customer claims.
We often manufacture products to our customers’ requirements, which can be highly complex and may at times contain design or manufacturing failures. Any defects in the products we manufacture, whether caused by a design, manufacturing or component failure or error, may result in returns, claims, delayed shipments to customers or reduced or cancelled customer orders. If these defects occur, we will incur additional costs and if in large quantity or too frequent, we may sustain loss of business, loss of reputation and may incur liability.
We may not be able to prevent others from using our trademarks in connection with our solar power products, which could adversely affect the market recognition of our brand names and our revenue.
We have filed applications to register the following trademarks related to our franchise business: Yes! Solar Solutions, Yes! Energy Series and Yes! Independence Series (the “Marks”) for use with our solar power products. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such marks. In addition, if someone else has already established trademark rights in the Marks, we may face trademark disputes and may have to market our products with other trademarks, which also could hurt our marketing efforts. Furthermore, we may encounter trademark disputes with companies using marks which are confusingly similar to our Marks which if not resolved favorably could cause our branding efforts to suffer. Trademark litigation carries an inherent risk and we cannot guarantee we will be successful in this type of litigation. In addition, we may have difficulty in establishing strong brand recognition with consumers if others use similar marks for similar products.
Our SkyMount racking system is untested and may not be effective or patentable or may encounter other unexpected problems, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our SkyMount racking system is new and has not been tested in installation settings for a sufficient period of time to prove its long-term effectiveness and benefits. The SkyMount racking system may not be effective or other problems may occur that are unexpected and could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. While we anticipate filing a patent application for our SkyMount racking system technology, a patent may not be issued on such technology or we may not be able to realize the benefits from any patent that is issued.
Our competitive position depends in part on maintaining intellectual property protection.
Our ability to compete and to achieve and maintain profitability depends in part on our ability to protect our proprietary discoveries and technologies. We currently rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements, to protect our intellectual property rights. We also rely upon unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position.

From time to time, the United States Supreme Court, other federal courts, the U.S. Congress or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may change the standards of patentability and any such changes could have a negative impact on our business.
We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be time-consuming and costly to defend and could result in our loss of significant rights and the assessment of damages.
If we receive notice of claims of infringement, misappropriation or misuse of other parties’ proprietary rights, some of these claims could lead to litigation. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in these actions, or that other actions alleging misappropriation or misuse by us of third-party trade secrets, infringement by us of third-party patents and trademarks or the validity of our patents, will not be asserted or prosecuted against us. We may also initiate claims to defend our intellectual property rights. Intellectual property litigation, regardless of outcome, is expensive and time-consuming, could divert management’s attention from our business and have a material negative effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. If there is a successful claim of infringement against us, we may be required to pay substantial damages (including treble damages if we were to be found to have willfully infringed a third party’s patent) to the party claiming infringement, develop non-infringing technology, stop selling our products or using technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable or commercially practical terms, if at all. Our failure to develop non-infringing technologies or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis could harm our business. Parties making infringement claims on future issued patents may be able to obtain an injunction that would prevent us from selling our products or using technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property, which could harm our business.
We are exposed to risks associated with product liability claims in the event that the use or installation of our products results in injury or damage, and we have limited insurance coverage to protect against such claims and those losses resulting from business interruptions or natural disasters.
Since our products are electricity-producing devices, it is possible that users could be injured or killed by our products, whether by product malfunctions, defects, improper installation or other causes. As a manufacturer, distributor, and installer of products that are used by consumers, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims or class action suits in the event that the use of the solar power products we sell or install results in injury or damage. We commenced commercial shipment of our solar modules in 2007 and, due to our limited historical experience, we are unable to predict whether product liability claims will be brought against us in the future or the effect of any resulting adverse publicity on our business. Moreover, to the extent that a claim is brought against us we may not have adequate resources in the event of a successful claim against us. We rely on our general liability insurance to cover product liability claims and have not obtained separate product liability insurance. The successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages and, if our insurance protection is inadequate, could require us to make significant payments which could have a materially adverse effect on our financial results. Any business disruption or natural disaster could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
Since we cannot test our solar panels for the duration of our standard 20-year warranty period, we may be subject to unexpected warranty expense; if we are subject to warranty and product liability claims, such claims could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The possibility of future product failures could cause us to incur substantial expense to repair or replace defective products. We have agreed to indemnify our customers and our distributors in some circumstances against liability from defects in our solar cells. A successful indemnification claim against us could require us to make significant damage payments, which would negatively affect our financial results.
Our current standard product warranty for our solar panel systems include a 10-year warranty period for defects in materials and workmanship and a 20-year warranty period for declines in power performance. We believe our warranty periods are consistent with industry practice. Due to the long warranty period, we bear the risk of extensive warranty claims long after we have shipped product and recognized revenue. We have sold solar panels since September 2007. Any increase in the defect rate of our products would cause us to increase the amount of warranty reserves and have a corresponding negative impact on our results. Although we conduct accelerated testing of our solar panels, our solar panels have not and cannot be tested in an environment simulating the 20-year warranty period. As a result of the foregoing, we may be subject to unexpected warranty expense, which in turn would harm our financial results.

Like other retailers, distributors and manufacturers of products that are used by consumers, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of the solar power products into which our solar panels are incorporated results in injury. We may be subject to warranty and product liability claims in the event that our solar power systems fail to perform as expected or if a failure of our solar power systems results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury, property damage or other damages. Since our solar power products are electricity producing devices, it is possible that our products could result in injury, whether by product malfunctions, defects, improper installation or other causes. In addition, since we only began selling our solar panels in late 2007 and the products we are developing incorporate new technologies and use new installation methods, we cannot predict whether or not product liability claims will be brought against us in the future or the effect of any resulting negative publicity on our business. Moreover, we may not have adequate resources in the event of a successful claim against us. We have evaluated the potential risks we face and believe that we have appropriate levels of insurance for product liability claims. We rely on our general liability insurance to cover product liability claims and have not obtained separate product liability insurance. However, a successful warranty or product liability claim against us that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of our available insurance limits could require us to make significant payments of damages. In addition, quality issues can have various other ramifications, including delays in the recognition of revenue, loss of revenue, loss of future sales opportunities, increased costs associated with repairing or replacing products, and a negative impact on our goodwill and reputation, which could also adversely affect our business and operating results.
Warranty and product liability claims may result from defects or quality issues in certain third-party technology and components that we incorporate into our solar power systems, particularly solar cells and panels, over which we have no control. While our agreements with our suppliers generally include warranties, those provisions may not fully compensate us for any loss associated with third-party claims caused by defects or quality issues in these products. In the event we seek recourse through warranties, we will also be dependent on the creditworthiness and continued existence of these suppliers.
We offer the industry standard of 20 years for our solar modules and industry standard five (5) years or inverters and balance of system components. Due to the warranty period, we bear the risk of extensive warranty claims long after we have completed a project and recognized revenues. Future product failures could cause us to incur substantial expenses to repair or replace defective products. While we generally pass through manufacturer warranties we receive from our suppliers to our customers, we are responsible for repairing or replacing any defective parts during our warranty period, often including those covered by manufacturers’ warranties. If the manufacturer disputes or otherwise fails to honor its warranty obligations, we may be required to incur substantial costs before we are compensated, if at all, by the manufacturer. Additionally, in September 2007 we began installing our own manufactured solar panels where the warranty responsibility will be borne by us. Furthermore, our warranties may exceed the period of any warranties from our suppliers covering components included in our systems, such as inverters.
Our failure to raise additional capital or generate the significant capital necessary to expand our operations and invest in new products could reduce our ability to compete and could harm our business.
We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash flows from operations in 2008, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. However, the timing and amount of our working capital and capital expenditure requirements may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including:
    the level and timing of product revenues;
 
    the costs and timing of expansion of product development efforts and the success of these development efforts;
 
    the extent to which our existing and new products gain market acceptance;
 
    the costs and timing of expansion of sales and marketing activities;
 
    competing technological and marketing developments;
 
    the extent of international operations;
 
    the need to adapt to changing technologies and technical requirements;
 
    the existence of opportunities for expansion and for acquisitions of, investments in, complementary businesses, technologies or product lines; and

17


Table of Contents

    access to and availability of sufficient management, technical, marketing and financial personnel.
We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our shareholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our common stock could decline. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios, any of which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:
    develop or enhance our products and services;
 
    continue to expand our product development sales and marketing organizations;
 
    acquire complementary technologies, products or businesses;
 
    expand operations, in the United States or internationally;
 
    hire, train and retain employees; or
 
    respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.
Our failure to do any of these things could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
We must effectively manage our growth.
Failure to manage our growth effectively could adversely affect our operations. We may increase the number of our manufacturing facilities and products and may plan to expand further the number and diversity of our products in the future and may further increase the number of locations from which we manufacture and sell. Our ability to manage our planned growth will depend substantially on our ability to:
    enhance our operational, financial and management systems;
 
    maintain adequate capital resources to pay our production costs before our customers pay us;
 
    expand usage of our facilities and equipment;
 
    successfully integrate our franchise operations while effectively managing our related expenses; and
 
    successfully hire, train and motivate additional employees, including the technical personnel necessary to operate our production facilities and staff our installation teams.
An expansion and diversification of our product range, manufacturing and sales and franchise locations and customer base may result in increases in our overhead and selling expenses. We may also be required to increase staffing and other expenses as well as our expenditures on plant, equipment and property in order to meet the anticipated demand of our customers. Any increase in expenditures in anticipation of future orders that do not materialize would adversely affect our profitability. Customers may require rapid increases in design and production services that place an excessive short-term burden on our resources.
We may not be able to increase or sustain our recent growth rate, and we may not be able to manage our future growth effectively.
We may not be able to continue to expand our business or manage future growth. We plan to significantly increase our production capacity between 2007 and 2010. To do so will require successful execution of expanding our existing manufacturing facilities, developing new manufacturing facilities, ensuring delivery of adequate solar cells, developing more efficient solar power systems, maintaining adequate liquidity and financial resources, and continuing to increase our revenues from operations. Expanding our manufacturing facilities or developing facilities may be delayed by difficulties such as unavailability of equipment or supplies or

18


Table of Contents

equipment malfunction. Ensuring delivery of adequate solar cells is subject to many market risks including scarcity, significant price fluctuations and competition. Maintaining adequate liquidity is dependent upon a variety of factors including continued revenues from operations and compliance with our indentures and credit agreements. If we are unsuccessful in any of these areas, we may not be able to achieve our growth strategy and increase production capacity as planned during the foreseeable future.
Our recent expansion has placed, and our planned expansion and any other future expansion will continue to place, a significant strain on our management, personnel, systems and resources. We plan to purchase additional equipment to significantly expand our manufacturing capacity and to hire additional employees to support an increase in manufacturing, research and development and our sales and marketing efforts. We anticipate that we will need to hire a significant number of highly skilled technical, manufacturing, sales, marketing, administrative and accounting personnel. The competition for qualified personnel is intense in our industry. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining sufficient numbers of qualified personnel to support our anticipated growth. To successfully manage our growth and handle the responsibilities of being a public company, we believe we must effectively:
    hire, train, integrate and manage additional qualified engineers for research and development activities, sales and marketing personnel, and financial and information technology personnel;
 
    retain key management and augment our management team, particularly if we lose key members;
 
    continue to enhance our customer resource management and manufacturing management systems;
 
    implement and improve additional and existing administrative, financial and operations systems, procedures and controls, including the need to update and integrate our financial internal control systems as well as our ERP system in our China facility with those of our Roseville, California headquarters;
 
    expand and upgrade our technological capabilities; and
 
    manage multiple relationships with our customers, suppliers and other third parties.
We may encounter difficulties in effectively managing the budgeting, forecasting and other process control issues presented by rapid growth. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, develop new solar modules and other products, satisfy customer requirements, execute our business plan or respond to competitive pressures.
We may be unable to achieve our goal of reducing the cost of installed solar systems, which may negatively impact our ability to sell our products in a competitive environment, resulting in lower revenues, gross margins and earnings.
To reduce the cost of installed solar systems, as compared against the current cost, we will have to achieve cost savings across the entire value chain from designing to manufacturing to distributing to selling and ultimately to installing solar systems. We have identified specific areas of potential savings and are pursuing targeted goals. However, such cost savings are especially dependent upon decreasing silicon prices and lowering manufacturing costs. Additionally, we are increasing production capacity at our existing manufacturing facilities while seeking to improve efficiencies. We also expect to develop additional manufacturing capacity. As a result, we expect these improvements will decrease our per unit production costs. However, if we are unsuccessful in our efforts to lower the cost of installed solar systems, our revenues, gross margins and earnings may be negatively impacted in the competitive environment and particularly in the event that governmental and fiscal incentives are reduced or an increase in the global supply of solar cells and solar panels causes substantial downward pressure on prices of our products.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
We will be required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will require annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm that attests to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. During the course of our testing for the 2008 reporting period, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet our deadline for compliance with Section 404. Testing and maintaining internal control can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to our business. We expect to incur increased expense and to devote additional management

19


Table of Contents

resources to Section 404 compliance. We may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 or our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able or willing to issue an unqualified report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, we cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our evaluation, testing and remediation actions or their effect on our operations since there is presently no precedent available by which to measure compliance adequacy. If either we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting or our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified report as required by Section 404, then investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
Risks Related to Our International Operations
We are dependent on our Chinese manufacturing operations.
Our current manufacturing operations are located in China and our sales and administrative offices are in the U.S. The geographical distances between these facilities create a number of logistical and communications challenges. In addition, because of the location of the manufacturing facilities in China, we could be affected by economic and political instability there, including problems related to labor unrest, lack of developed infrastructure, variances in payment cycles, currency fluctuations, overlapping taxes and multiple taxation issues, employment and severance taxes, compliance with local laws and regulatory requirements, and the burdens of cost and compliance with a variety of foreign laws. Moreover, inadequate development or maintenance of infrastructure in China, including adequate power and water supplies, transportation, raw materials availability or the deterioration in the general political, economic or social environment could make it difficult, more expensive and possibly prohibitive to continue to operate our manufacturing facilities in China.
We may not be able to retain, recruit and train adequate management and production personnel.
Our continued operations are dependent upon our ability to identify, recruit and retain adequate management and production personnel in China. We require trained graduates of varying levels and experience and a flexible work force of semi-skilled operators. Many of our current employees come from the more remote regions of China as they are attracted by the wage differential and prospects afforded by our operations. With the growth currently being experienced in China and competing opportunities for our personnel, there can be no guarantee that a favorable employment climate will continue and that wage rates where we manufacture our products in China will continue to be internationally competitive.
The Chinese government could change its policies toward, or even nationalize, private enterprise, which could harm our operations.
All of our manufacturing is conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued economic reform policies, including the encouragement of private economic activities and decentralization of economic regulation. The Chinese government may not continue to pursue these policies or may significantly alter them to our detriment from time to time without notice. Changes in policies by the Chinese government resulting in changes in laws or regulations, our interpretation of laws or regulations, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion or imports and sources of supply could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. The nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises by the Chinese government could result in the total loss of our investment in China.
Our results could be harmed if compliance with new environmental regulations becomes too burdensome.
Our manufacturing processes may result in the creation of small amounts of hazardous and/or toxic wastes, including various gases, epoxies, inks, solvents and other organic wastes. We are subject to Chinese governmental regulations related to the use, storage and disposal of such hazardous wastes. The amounts of our hazardous waste may increase in the future as our manufacturing operations increase, and therefore, our cost of compliance is likely to increase. In addition, sewage produced by dormitory facilities which house our labor force is coming under greater environmental legislation. Although we believe we are operating in compliance with applicable environmental laws, there is no assurance that we will be in compliance consistently as such laws and regulations, or our interpretation and implementation, change. Failure to comply with environmental regulation could result in the imposition of fines, suspension or halting of production or closure of manufacturing operations. Additionally, we may incur substantial costs to comply with future regulations, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

The Chinese legal system has inherent uncertainties that could materially and adversely impact our ability to enforce the agreements governing our operations.
We conduct our manufacturing through our wholly owned Chinese subsidiary, IAS Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. We lease the actual factory. The performance of the agreements and the operations of our factory are dependent on our relationship with the local government. Our operations and prospects would be materially and adversely affected by the failure of the local government to honor our agreements or an adverse change in the laws governing us. In the event of a dispute, enforcement of these agreements could be difficult in China. China tends to issue legislation which is subsequently followed by implementing regulations, interpretations and guidelines that can render immediate compliance difficult. Similarly, on occasion, conflicts are introduced between national legislation and implementation by the provinces that take time to reconcile. These factors can present difficulties in our compliance. Unlike the U.S., China has a civil law system based on written statutes in which judicial decisions have limited precedential value. The Chinese government has enacted laws and regulations to deal with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, the Chinese government experience in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited, and our ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial disputes is therefore unpredictable. These matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the Chinese government, and forces and factors unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may influence our determination, which may limit legal protections available to us. In addition, any litigation in China may result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
Because our operations are international, we are subject to significant worldwide political, economic, legal and other uncertainties.
We are incorporated in the United States and have subsidiaries in the U.S., Hong Kong S.A.R. and the Peoples’ Republic of China. Because we manufacture all of our products in China, substantially all of the net book value of our fixed assets is located there. Although we currently sell our products only to customers in the U.S., we may sell our products to customers located outside of the U.S. in the future. Protectionist trade legislation in the U.S. or foreign countries, such as a change in export or import legislation, tariff or duty structures, or other trade policies, could adversely affect our ability to sell products in these markets, or even to purchase raw materials or equipment from foreign suppliers. Moreover, we are subject to a variety of U.S. laws and regulations, changes to which may affect our ability to transact business with non-U.S. customers or in certain product categories.
We are also subject to numerous national, state and local governmental regulations, including environmental, labor, waste management, health and safety matters and product specifications. We are subject to laws and regulations governing our relationship with our employees, including: wage and hour requirements, working and safety conditions, citizenship requirements, work permits and travel restrictions. These include local labor laws and regulations, which may require substantial resources for compliance. We are subject to significant government regulation with regard to property ownership and use in connection with our leased facility in China, import restrictions, currency restrictions and restrictions on the volume of domestic sales and other areas of regulation, all of which impact our profits and operating results.
We are exposed to the limit of the availability and price of electricity.
The primary energy supply to our operations in China is electricity from the local power company. There is not an extensive and resilient connection to a national or regional power grid. Thus, we may be exposed to power outages and shut downs which our standby generators would only partially mitigate. Fluctuations in world oil prices and supply could affect our supply and cost of electricity. The electricity producers that supply us with electricity in our facility in China generate their electricity from oil, and our back-up generators create electricity from diesel fuel. Accordingly, fluctuations in world oil product prices and supply could affect our supply and cost of electricity at our manufacturing facilities.
We face risks associated with international trade and currency exchange.
We transact business in a variety of currencies including the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, or RMB. Although we make all sales in U.S. dollars, we incur approximately 22% of our operating expenses, such as payroll, land rent, electrical power and other costs associated with running our facilities in China, in RMB. Changes in exchange rates would affect the value of deposits of currencies we hold. In July 2005 the Chinese government announced that the RMB would be pegged to a basket of currencies, making it possible for the RMB to rise and fall relative to the U.S. dollar. We do not currently hedge against exposure to currencies. We

21


Table of Contents

cannot predict with certainty future exchange rates and thus their impact on our operating results. We do not have any long-term debt valued in RMB. Movements between the U.S. dollar and the RMB could have a material impact on our profitability.
Changes to Chinese tax incentives and heightened efforts by the Chinese tax authorities to increase revenues could subject us to greater taxes.
Under applicable Chinese law, we have been afforded profits tax concessions by Chinese tax authorities on our operations in China for specific periods of time, which has lowered our cost of operations in China. However, the Chinese tax system is subject to substantial uncertainties with respect to interpretation and enforcement. Recently, the Chinese government has attempted to augment its revenues through heightened tax collection efforts. Continued efforts by the Chinese government to increase tax revenues could result in revisions to or changes to tax incentives or new interpretations by the Chinese government of the tax benefits we should be receiving currently, which could increase our future tax liabilities or deny us expected concessions or refunds.
Future outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome or other communicable diseases may have a negative impact on our business and operating results.
In 2003, several economies in Asia, including China, where our operations are located, were affected by the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. If there is a recurrence of an outbreak of SARS, or similar infectious or contagious diseases such as avian flu, it could adversely affect our business and operating results. For example, a future SARS outbreak could result in quarantines or closure to our factory, and our operations could be seriously disrupted as the majority of our work force is housed in one dormitory. In addition, an outbreak could negatively affect the willingness of our customers, suppliers and managers to visit our facilities.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
We have not paid and are unlikely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and may not pay cash dividends in the future. Instead, we intend to apply earnings, if any, to the expansion and development of the business. Thus, the liquidity of your investment is dependent upon active trading of our stock in the market.
Any future financings and subsequent registration of common stock for resale will result in a significant number of shares of our common stock available for sale, and such sales could depress our common stock price. Further, no assurances can be given that we will not issue additional shares which will have the effect of diluting the equity interest of current investors. Moreover, sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in any future public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult to sell shares of common stock at times and prices that either you or we determine to be appropriate.
We expect our stock price to be volatile.
Should a public market develop, the trading price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
    the depth and liquidity of the market for the common stock;
 
    developments generally affecting the energy industry;
 
    investor perceptions of the business;
 
    changes in securities analysts’ expectations or our failure to meet those expectations;
 
    actions by institutional or other large stockholders;
 
    terrorist acts;
 
    actual or anticipated fluctuations in results of operations;

22


Table of Contents

    announcements of technological innovations or significant contracts by us or our competitors;
 
    introduction of new products by us or our competitors;
 
    our sale of common stock or other securities in the future;
 
    changes in market valuation or earnings of our competitors;
 
    changes in the estimation of the future size and growth rate of the markets;
 
    results of operations and financial performance; and
 
    general economic, industry and market conditions.
In addition, the stock market in general often experiences substantial volatility that is seemingly unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, should a public market develop.
Any sale of a substantial amount of our stock could cause our stock price to drop.
Gerald Moore beneficially owns 3,133,333, or approximately 7.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, of which 2,000,000 are subject to a Lock-Up Agreement, whereby Mr. Moore has agreed not to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of his shares until December 31, 2008. Furthermore, as part of the terms of private placements, we registered for resale approximately 26,056,825 shares of our common stock, including 2,289,580 shares underlying warrants, with the SEC, representing approximately 69% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2007. None of these shareholders are obligated to retain our shares, subject to the above-mentioned restrictions for Mr. Moore. Any sale by these or other holders of a substantial amount of common stock in any future public market, or the perception that such a sale could occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Such an effect could be magnified if our stock is relatively thinly traded.
There may not be an active public market for our common stock in the near term and you may have to hold your common stock for an indefinite period of time.
Although our common stock is trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, there currently is a limited trading market for the common stock, and we cannot assure you that any market will further develop or be sustained. Because our common stock is expected to be thinly traded, you cannot expect to be able to liquidate your investment in case of an emergency or if you otherwise desire to do so. It may be difficult for you to resell a large number of your shares of common stock in a short period of time or at or above their purchase price.
Our stock may be governed by the “penny stock rules,” which impose additional requirements on broker-dealers who make transactions in our stock.
SEC rules require a broker-dealer to provide certain information to purchasers of securities traded at less than $5.00, which are not traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market. Since our common stock is not currently traded on an “exchange,” if the future trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, our common stock will be considered a “penny stock,” and trading in our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Penny Stock Rules”). The Penny Stock Rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also give bid and offer quotations and broker and salesperson compensation information to the prospective investor orally or in writing before or with the confirmation of the transaction. In addition, the Penny Stock Rules require a broker-dealer to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction before a transaction in a penny stock. These requirements may severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker-dealers may be likely to undertake these compliance activities. Therefore, unless an exemption is available from the Penny Stock Rules, the disclosure requirements under the Penny Stock Rules may have the effect of reducing trading activity in our common stock, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell.

Our shareholders may experience future dilution.
Our charter permits our board of directors, without shareholder approval, to authorize shares of preferred stock. The board of directors may classify or reclassify any preferred stock to set the preferences, rights and other terms of the classified or reclassified shares, including the issuance of shares of preferred stock that have preference rights over the common stock with respect to dividends, liquidation, voting and other matters or shares of common stock having special voting rights. Further, substantially all shares of common stock for which our outstanding stock options are exercisable are, once they have been purchased, eligible for immediate sale in the public market.
The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock or the exercise of stock options or warrants could be substantially dilutive to your shares and may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
If we do not meet the listing standards established by The NASDAQ Stock Market or other similar markets, our common stock may not become listed for trading on one of those markets.
As soon as reasonably practicable, we intend to apply to list our common stock for trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market, on either the NASDAQ Global Market tier or The NASDAQ Capital Market tier. The NASDAQ Stock Market has established certain quantitative criteria and qualitative standards that companies must meet in order to become and remain listed for trading on these markets. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet all necessary requirements for listing; therefore, we cannot guarantee that our common stock will be listed for trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market or other similar markets.
USE OF PROCEEDS
     The Selling Security Holders may sell all of the common stock offered by this Prospectus from time-to-time. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of those shares of common stock. We will, however, receive gross proceeds of approximately $5,809,362 if all of the outstanding warrants are exercised by the Selling Security Holders for cash. Any proceeds we receive from the cash exercise of warrants will be used for working capital and general corporate matters, which may include raw materials and inventory purchases, direct and indirect labor, and related costs that we anticipate as part of our growth. The exercise of the warrants may occur over a five year period from the date six months after the warrants were issued, to December 20, 2012 as the last date.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
     Except for statements of historical facts, this section contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words including “believes,” “considers,” “intends,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” or “anticipates,” or the negative equivalents of those words or comparable terminology, and by discussions of strategies that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance or results, and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors.”
     The following discussion is presented on a consolidated basis, and analyzes our financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
     Unless the context indicates or suggests otherwise reference to “we”, “our”, “us” and the “Company” in this section refers to the consolidated operations of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, DRCI and Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) on a post-Reincorporation basis, and references to “SPI-Nevada” refers to Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) prior to the Merger and Reincorporation.
Overview
     We are currently engaged in manufacturing and selling cable, wire and mechanical assemblies, in designing, distributing and installing complete photovoltaic systems for industrial, commercial and residential facilities located primarily in the United States and manufacturing photovoltaic modules, utilizing both Monocrystalline and Multicrystalline silicone, in our China factory. Currently, the factory utilizes approximately fifty percent of its capacity. The remaining un-utilized capacity is being reserved for photovoltaic module and balance of system expansion.
     We bring our solar power products to market by utilizing strategic company-owned store operations and intend to establish a national franchise network. We opened our first energy outlet in Northern California in October 2007. Company-owned store operations market, sell and install our products within a locally defined geographic area.
     Outside of Company-owned store operations, we intend to work with franchisee partners who will have exclusive geographical territories that include specific application focus. Each franchise partner will establish retail operations in a defined geographic area to market, sell and install photovoltaic systems. In March 2008, the Company entered into its first two franchise sale agreements.
     In our early history, our revenue was derived principally from the sale of cable and wire harnesses, and mechanical assemblies. With the launch of our solar module business, and efforts in installation and sale of those modules, we have realized increased revenues. We anticipate that revenues from our solar module business will continue as we expand our market for installation contracts. We anticipate similar increases in the future from our franchising for residential projects. With our efforts increasingly directed at solar module manufacturing and installation in the U.S., we will continue to assess our internal resource needs. We have made a significant number of hires recently to manage construction projects, and anticipate continued hiring as we grow the business. Currently, significant resources have been used in the establishment of our corporate structure for finance, reporting, and governance, and we would anticipate that such expenses will decrease, as a percentage of revenue, as our business from solar installation increases. Additionally, we have expended resources directed at creating our franchise model and roll out, including documentation associated with those efforts, and have not recognized any revenue from that component of our business. In March 2008, the Company entered into its first franchise sale agreement.
     As a result of the Merger described below, our operations are now conducted through Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, and our wholly-owned subsidiaries located in California and in China.
     Management is considering the impact of the following areas as it implements the manufacturing of complete photovoltaic systems and planned business model:
    Solar cell pricing trends around the world: Recently the key material in the production of solar cells (silicon) has been in limited in supply. Consequently, prices and availability of solar modules have been limited. Solar cells are the major component cost in a photovoltaic module. The Company has responded by seeking long-term supply agreements for solar cells

26


Table of Contents

      where pricing is adjusted quarterly to market rates. Our intent is secure ample solar cell supply to meet our growth needs and to avoid the risk of long-term contract pricings with suppliers whose products are expected to see a decline in the average selling price. Industry experts believe that additional planned expansion of silicon processing factories coming on line over the next 18 months will produce enough raw materials to create an oversupply on projected demand. To date the Company has not entered into any long-term supply agreements for solar cells. Failure to effectively manage our supply will hinder our expected growth and our component costs may have an adverse affect on the Company’s profitability; and
 
    Government subsidies: Federal and State subsidies relating directly to solar installations are an important factor in the planned growth of the solar industry. These subsidies are very important to growing the market for photovoltaic systems because they provide a significant economic incentive to all buyers. Without these incentives, industry growth would likely stall. These regulations are constantly being amended and will have a direct affect on our rollout of our planned franchise network among those states that offer superior incentives to the solar industry.
Background and Corporate History
     We became the registrant through a reverse merger with Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.), on December 29, 2006, and we are considered the accounting acquirer and registrant following that merger. Welund Fund, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 16, 2002 under that name, and effective January 2006, pursuant to authorization of its stockholders, it changed its domicile from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada through a merger with and into its then wholly-owned subsidiary which was a Nevada corporation. On October 4, 2006, it changed its name from Welund Fund, Inc. to Solar Power, Inc., and it effected a one-for-three reverse stock split. For purposes of discussion and disclosure, we refer to the predecessor as Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.), to distinguish it from the registrant and accounting acquirer, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation.
     On August 6, 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, entered into share exchange agreement with all the shareholders of International Assembly Solutions, Limited (“IAS HK”), which was incorporated in Hong Kong on January 18, 2005 with limited liability. Solar Power, Inc. a California corporation was originally incorporated in the State of California to facilitate creation of a U.S. holding company for IAS HK operations and to engage in sales, installation and integration of photovoltaic systems in the U.S. Pursuant to the share exchange agreements, the equity owners of IAS HK transferred all their equity interest in IAS HK in exchange for a total of 14,000,000 shares of Solar Power, Inc. a California corporation, in November 2006. As a result, IAS HK became a wholly owned subsidiary of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation. There were a total of sixteen shareholders in IAS Hong Kong including the controlling shareholders Stephen Kircher, Gerald Moore and Bradley Ferrell. Mr. Kircher Chairman of the Board of IAS HK, held dispositive and voting control of 8,100,000 shares or approximately 58% of the outstanding shares. Mr. Kircher remains Chairman of the Board of IAS HK. Mr. Moore and Mr. Ferrell owned 4,100,000 (29%) and 1,500,000 (11%) shares respectively. Neither Mr. Moore nor Mr. Ferrell was a director of IAS HK. IAS HK does not have company officers and management and business decisions were made by Mr. Kircher. Being a group reorganization entered into among entities under common control, the Company combined the historical financial statements of IAS HK and its wholly owned subsidiary, IAS Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“IAS Shenzhen”). Messers. Kircher, Moore and Sam Lau were directors of IAS Shenzhen from inception until July 15, 2006, at which time our CFO replaced Mr. Moore as director. Mr. Kircher made business decisions for IAS Shenzhen, and it does not have formal officers.
     On August 23, 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Welund Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.). On December 29, 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, merged with Merger Sub and Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.). In connection with the Merger Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) issued the existing shareholders of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation an aggregate of 14,500,000 shares of Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) restricted common stock and substituted 2,000,000 restricted stock awards and options of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation with Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) restricted stock awards and options to purchase shares of Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) common stock. As a result of the Merger, all amounts of indebtedness owed to Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) by Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, totaling $3,746,565, were eliminated. As a result of the Merger, we discontinued our former auto loans business and changed our focus and strategic direction and pursued operations in the solar power business. On February 15, 2007, we re-domiciled in the State of California.

     In February 2005 Dale Renewables Consulting, Inc., (“DRCI”), a California corporation was formed to engage in the business of solar modules and systems installation, integration and sales. In May 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, and Dale Stickney Construction, Inc., (“DSCI”) the parent of DRCI, agreed in principle on the acquisition of DRCI by Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, and entered into an operating agreement with DRCI providing that Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation would effectively be responsible for all current operations, liabilities, and revenues, effective June 1, 2006, as contemplated by the proposed merger agreement.
     In August 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, and DRCI completed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), including the Assignment and Interim Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) which was an exhibit to the Merger Agreement. The Operating Agreement obligated Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, to provide all financing necessary for DRCI’s operations subsequent to June 1, 2006 until the consummation of the acquisition in exchange for all the revenues generated from its operations. The Operating Agreement also provided that Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, was to provide all management activities of DRCI on its behalf from June 1, 2006 until the consummation of the acquisition. The Company has taken the position that DRCI was a variable interest entity based upon the accounting literature found in Financial Interpretation Number 46(R) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (as amended) (“FIN 46(R)”), paragraph 5. In addition, based upon FIN 46(R), paragraph 6, footnote 12, the Company had pecuniary interest in DRCI that began on June 1, 2006. Finally, FIN 46(R), paragraph 14 supports the Company’s position to consolidate as of June 1, 2006 because it absorbed DRCI’s losses and had a contractual right to expect residual returns. Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, acquired DRCI in order to accelerate its entry into the California market for sale and installation of solar systems, including assumption of the installation and construction contracts that DRCI had at that time.
     On November 15, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of DRCI, paying $1,115,373 in cash in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of DRCI. The acquisition of DRCI provided Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, with an experienced photovoltaic sales and installation team.
     The Company has allocated the purchase price of $1,115,373 to estimated fair values of the acquired assets as follows:
         
Inventories
  $ 35,341  
Other current assets
    637,089  
Plant and equipment
    7,995  
Goodwill
    434,948  
 
     
Total
  $ 1,115,373  
 
     
     The estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities may change as the Company completes its valuation procedures and as all direct acquisition costs are determined. The final adjustments resulting from this process are not expected to be material.
     During the fourth quarter, in conjunction with its valuation procedures related to the DRCI acquisition, the Company determined that because of a lack of continuity interest, the transition did not qualify as a reorganization for tax purposes and should be treated as purchase of assets with a liquidation target. As a result, the Company revised its purchase price allocation to eliminate the previously recorded deferred tax liability of $267,577, resulting in an offsetting increase to Goodwill.
     On March 21, 2007 we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, SPIC, Inc. (“SPIC”) entered into a General Partnership Agreement with J.R. Conkey and Associates, Inc. (“JRC”). The partnership will engage in the sales, design and installation of solar systems in government market segments for solar contracts within California. As initial capital contributions to the partnership, JRC is contributing $25,500 and SPIC is contributing $24,500. JRC is the managing partner of the partnership and will manage and conduct the day-to-day business affairs of the partnership. Additionally, JRC will be responsible for all marketing and sales efforts, establishing and maintaining customer relationships, and contract management. James R. Conkey, a principal of JRC, invested $100,000 and received 100,000 shares in the Solar Power, Inc, a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) private placement in October 2006.) SPIC will be responsible for exclusively supplying all solar panels or other solar materials to the partnership for installation, and the design, engineering, and installation of all solar systems for customers, at contracted prices to SPIC. SPIC will control financial and accounting records. The Company believes that this partnership will be subject to consolidation based on its interpretation of Financial Interpretation Number 46(R) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (as amended) (“FIN 46(R)”). Specifically under FIN 46(R), paragraph 5(a)(4), the Company has additional risk with loans that will be advanced to the partnership. Through December 31, 2007, no activity has occurred in the partnership. In addition, neither JRC nor the Company has contributed initial capital or performed any of the stated responsibilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Inventories- Certain factors could impact the realizable value of our inventory, so we continually evaluate the recoverability based on assumptions about customer demand and market conditions. The evaluation may take into consideration historic usage, expected

29


Table of Contents

demand, anticipated sales price, product obsolescence, customer concentrations, product merchantability and other factors. The reserve or write-down is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, inventory reserves or write-downs may be required that could negatively impact our gross margin and operating results.
     Goodwill - Goodwill resulted from our acquisition of DRCI. We perform a goodwill impairment test on an annual basis and will perform an assessment between annual tests in certain circumstances. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. In estimating the fair value of our business, we make estimates and judgments about our future cash flows. Our cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage our business.
     Revenue recognition In our cable, wire and mechanical assembly business the Company recognizes the sales of goods when there is evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of ownership have passed (generally upon delivery), the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Generally there are no formal customer acceptance requirements or further obligations related to our assembly services once we ship our products. Customers do not have a general right of return on products shipped therefore we make no provisions for returns. We make a determination of our customers’ credit worthiness at the time we accept their order.
     For photovoltaic systems product sales revenue is recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of ownership have passed (generally upon delivery), the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Customers do not have a general right of return on products shipped therefore we make no provisions for returns.
     Revenue on photovoltaic system construction contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting. At the end of each period, the Company measures the cost incurred on each project and compares the result against its estimated total costs at completion. The percentage derived from this comparison multiplied by the contract price determines the amount of revenue to be recognized. Payment terms are generally defined by the contract and as a result may not match the timing of the costs incurred by the Company and the related recognition of revenue. Such differences are recorded as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts or billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. The Company determines its customer’s credit worthiness at the time the order is accepted. Sudden and unexpected changes in customer’s financial condition could put recoverability at risk.
     Our revenue recognition procedure is highly dependent on establishing our initial estimated total cost of completion for each project. Initial estimates are compiled using standard project templates that identify each system component and work activity required for a photovoltaic system implementation. Project managers, who have detailed knowledge of the project, finalize the estimates by incorporating pricing and design changes as well as manpower requirements. Projects with estimated costs in excess of $50,000 are subject to additional review. Our estimates to date have been reasonably accurate.
     In our solar photovoltaic business contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related, to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. Selling and general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined
     Product Warranties — In our cable, wire and mechanical assembly business our current standard product warranty for our mechanical assembly product ranges from one to five years. We offer the industry standard of 20 years for our solar modules and industry standard five (5) years on inverter and balance of system components. Due to the warranty period, we bear the risk of extensive warranty claims long after we have shipped product and recognized revenue. In our wire and mechanical assembly business, historically our warranty claims have not been material. In our solar photovoltaic business our greatest warranty exposure is in the form of product replacement. Until the third quarter, the Company purchased its solar panels from third-party suppliers and since the third-party warranties are consistent with industry standards we consider our financial exposure to warranty claims immaterial. Certain photovoltaic construction contracts entered into during the year ended December 31, 2007 included provisions under which the Company agreed to provide warranties to the buyer, and during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company began installing its own manufactured solar panels. As a result, the Company recorded the provision for the estimated warranty exposure on these contracts within cost of sales. Since the Company does not have sufficient historical data to estimate its exposure, we have looked to

historical data reported by other solar system installers and manufacturers. The accrual for warranty claims consisted of the following at December 31, 2007:

     Stock based compensation — Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” (SFAS No. 123(R)”) which requires the Company to measure the stock-based compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the employee requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted was based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Prior to 2006 the Company had not issued stock options or other forms of stock-based compensation.
     Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the share-based payment awards and stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.
     Allowance for doubtful accounts — The Company regularly monitors and assesses the risk of not collecting amounts owed to the Company by customers. This evaluation is based upon a variety of factors including: an analysis of amounts current and past due along with relevant history and facts particular to the customer. It requires the Company to make significant estimates, and changes in facts and circumstances could result in material changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company has an allowance of approximately $48,000.
     Income taxes We account for income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the weight of available evidence, including expected future earnings. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Should we determine that we would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, we would record an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. This adjustment would increase income in the period such determination is made.
Our operations include manufacturing activities outside of the United States. Profit from non-U.S. activities is subject to local country taxes but not subject to United States tax until repatriated to the United States. It is our intention to permanently reinvest these earnings outside the United States. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate tax assessment, a further charge to expense would result.
     Foreign currency translation — The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars and the Company conducts substantially all of its business in U.S. dollars.
     All transactions in currencies other than functional currencies during the year are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Related accounts payable or receivable existing at the balance sheet date denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies are translated at period end rates. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency transactions and balances are included in income.

Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. With respect to the acquisition of DRCI by Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, the Company estimated the fair value of contracts acquired based on certain assumptions to be approximately $637,000. The Company estimated the value of each contract opportunity acquired by estimating the percentage of contracts that would be signed and by applying a comparable acquisition cost to each contract based on the Company’s current sales subcontractor commission rates.
Segment Information
     The Company has two reportable segments: (1) cable, wire mechanical assemblies and processing sales (“Cable, wire and mechanical assemblies”) and (2) photovoltaic installation, integration and solar panel sales (“Photovoltaic installation, integration and sales”). The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,” Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The guidance is applicable in the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108, effective December 31, 2006, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. FAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008 FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2 that defers the effective date of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed a fair value in financial statements on a recurring basis, for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. In addition, FASB also agreed to exclude from scope of FAS 157 fair value measurements made for purposes of applying FAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” and related interpretive accounting pronouncements. The Company does not expect FAS No. 157 to have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities —Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115", (“FAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is applicable beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141(R)”) which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is prospectively effective to business combinations for which the acquisition is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of FAS 141(R) on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be determined in part by the nature and timing of any future acquisitions completed by it.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (as amended)” (“FAS 160”) which improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as equity consolidated financial statements. Moreover, FAS 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting from transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008; earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2007 to the year ended December 31, 2006
     Net sales — Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 314.2% to approximately $18,144,000 from approximately $4,381,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net sales in the cable, wire and mechanical assembly segment increased 17.7% to approximately $3,400,000 from approximately $2,888,000 for the year earlier comparative period primarily from increased sales to one customer. Net sales in the photovoltaic installation, integration and product sales segment increased 887.5% to approximately $14,744,000 from approximately $1,493,000 for the year earlier comparative period. The Company entered this segment in the second quarter of 2006 and continued developing its business plan in this segment during 2007, accounting for the increase in this segment’s sales.
     Cost of goods sold — Cost of goods sold were approximately $16,030,000 (88.3% of net sales) and approximately $2,894,000 (66.1% of net sales) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     Cost of goods sold in the cable, wire and mechanical assembly segment were approximately $1,940,000 (57.1% of net sales) for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to approximately $1,590,000 (55.1% of net sales) for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase is attributable to product mix, increased shipping costs due to fuel surcharges and increased material costs due to the increase in copper wire pricing, a key component in the cable wire segment.
     Cost of goods sold in the photovoltaic installation, integration and product sales segment was approximately $14,090,000 (95.6% of sales) for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to approximately $1,304,000 (87.3% of net sales) for the year ended December 31, 2006. The overall growth in sales for this segment and higher than anticipated sub-contract costs and construction costs attributed to the increase in cost of goods sold in our photovoltaic segment.
     General and administrative expenses — General and administrative expenses were approximately $6,982,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and approximately $2,307,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 an increase of 202.6%. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 38.5% and 52.7%, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. The increase in actual cost is primarily due to the increase in employee related expense, infrastructure costs and professional fees associated with the continued development of our photovoltaic solar business; start up of our franchise operations and stock compensation expense. As a percentage of sales we expect that the percentage of general and administrative expenses will continue to decline. Significant elements of general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 include employee related expense of approximately $3,187,000, information technology costs of approximately $143,000, insurance costs of approximately $237,000, professional and consulting fees of approximately $1,403,000, rent of approximately $370,000, travel and lodging costs of $197,000, stock compensation expense of $490,000 and bad debt expense of $118,000. The bad debt expense pertains to one new home builder who terminated the solar installation on his project because of market conditions. In the fourth quarter we recovered the solar panels on this project and recognized a net writeoff of $118,000 in our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.
     Sales, marketing and customer service expense — Sales, marketing and customer service expenses were approximately $2,254,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $1,179,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a percentage of net sales, sales, marketing and customer service expenses were 12.4% and 26.9%, respectively. The increase in cost is primarily due to increases in payroll, marketing costs and business development costs associated with the continued development of our photovoltaic solar business. Significant elements of sales, marketing and customer service expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 were payroll related expenses of approximately $1,028,000, business development costs of approximately $684,000 (consisting of approximately $184,000 of acquired expenses resulting from the acquisition of DRCI and approximately $500,000 related to the Contract Revenue Agreement with Sundance Power, LLC), advertising of approximately $177,000, stock-based compensation costs of approximately $51,000 and travel and lodging costs of approximately $60,000.

     Product development expense — Product development expenses were approximately $199,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. There was no such product development activity in fiscal 2006, hence there were no product development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a percentage of sales, product development expenses were 1.1%. Significant elements of product development expense were payroll and related expenses of approximately $39,000 and product certification and testing of approximately $160,000. The Company expects these expenses to continue in 2008 as the Company expands its activity.
     Interest income / expense — Interest income, net was approximately $180,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Interest expense was approximately $90,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a percentage of net sales, interest income, net was 1.0% for the year ended December 31, 2007. Interest expense was 2.1% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2006. Interest income, net consisted of interest income of approximately $286,000 from earnings on the Company’s idle cash offset by interest expense of approximately $106,000 on the Company’s short term borrowings in 2007.
     Other income — Other income for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $8,000 and $16,000, respectively. Other income consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of scrap material.
     Net loss — The net loss was approximately $7,194,000 and $2,129,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The significant costs incurred to continue development of our photovoltaic solar business was the driver of the increased operating loss in 2007.

     Net cash generated from investing activities of approximately $13,588,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily relates to our merger and acquisitions. We received approximately $14,998,000 from our merger with Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.). We used approximately $1,115,000 of cash to acquire Dale Renewables Consulting, Inc., approximately $75,000 for the acquisition of certain contractual rights from a third party for the design and installation of photovoltaic systems and $220,000 to acquire property, plant and equipment.

These loans were repaid in full in January 2007 from cash we received from our merger with Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.).
     In the short-term we do not expect any material change in the mix or relative cost of our capital resources. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $6,840,000 in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $2,195,000 of restricted cash collateralizing standby letters of credit we issued to support our bank line of credit, capital lease and credit extended to us by vendors. Our plan and focus will be to continue the development of our solar panel manufacturing facility, manufacturing our branded solar system products, generating new customers, and organizing a distribution model through the development of a franchise network. With our current level of cash on hand and collection on accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, we believe we have sufficient working capital to satisfy our working capital requirements to fund operations at their current levels. We may be required to raise capital to fund our anticipated future growth. Future cash forecasts are based on assumptions regarding operational performance, and assumptions regarding working capital needs associated with increasing customer orders.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
     We, through Solar Power, Inc. a California corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries, International Assembly Solutions, Limited (Hong Kong), IAS Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd, SPIC, Inc., Yes! Solar, Inc. and Yes! Construction Services, Inc., currently manufacture and sell cable, wire and mechanical assemblies and produce and install solar power systems for use in residential, commercial and industrial applications. We develop, manufacture and market photovoltaic panels for the production of environmentally clean electric power primarily in the United States. Photovoltaic cells generate direct current electricity when exposed to sunlight. We believe that we have distribution and installation advantages by having our manufacturing facilities in China that will result in lower operational cost versus other competing United States-based solar power companies and technologies who do not currently have operations in China. Solar companies that do have operations in China are viewed as competitors only to the extent that they supply solar modules to US integrators that compete with us for solar design and installation work.
     Through 2006 revenues have been primarily derived from the sale of cable, wire and mechanical assemblies. These products are sold directly to telecommunications, transportation and manufacturing companies for use in commercial and industrial applications.

While we intend to continue our existing cable, wire and mechanical assembly business, we have expanded our operations to focus on the design, development, manufacturing and marketing of a variety of solar modules, which are assemblies of photovoltaic cells that have been electrically interconnected and laminated in a physically durable and weather-tight package. These products are for use in residential, commercial and industrial applications. We intend to distribute primarily through our company- owned stores (the first of which opened in October 2007) and our franchisee network. In March 2008 the Company entered into its first franchise sale agreement. Our solar modules and balance of system products add value by incorporating system design features enabling more efficient installation and resulting in significant labor costs savings. Through 2007, our revenues increased significantly as we implemented our solar module production, sales and installation business.
     In addition, we have arranged a secondary distribution through a General Partnership Agreement with J.R. Conkey and Associates, Inc. (“JRC”). The partnership will engage in the sales, design and installation of solar systems in government market segments for solar contracts within California.
     JRC is the managing partner of the partnership and will manage and conduct the day-to-day business affairs of the partnership. Additionally, JRC will be responsible for all marketing and sales efforts, establishing and maintaining customer relationships, and contract management. JRC is owned by James R. Conkey. Mr. Conkey invested $100,000 into Solar Power, Inc.’s (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) private placement in October 2006. He acquired 100,000 shares in that transaction. These 100,000 shares were the only Company shares owned by Mr. Conkey prior to the Partnership Agreement being executed with SPIC. Mr. Conkey has not acquired any other shares since the Weland Fund, Inc. private placement and is not considered a related party. SPIC will be responsible for exclusively supplying all solar panels or other solar materials at current published rates to the partnership for installation, and the design, engineering, and installation of all solar systems for customers, at contracted prices to SPIC. SPIC will control financial and accounting records. Currently, no activity has occurred in the partnership. Neither JRC or the Company has contributed initial capital or performed any of the stated responsibilities.
     Applications for solar products include on-grid generation, in which supplemental electricity is provided to an electric utility grid, and off-grid generation for markets where access to conventional electric power is not economical or physically feasible. Our solar products are currently sold primarily in the United States, primarily in California.
Business Development
     We became the registrant through a reverse merger with Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.), on December 29, 2006, and we are considered the accounting acquirer and registrant following that merger. Welund Fund, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 16, 2002 under that name, and effective January 2006, pursuant to authorization of its stockholders, it changed its domicile from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada through a merger with and into its then wholly-owned subsidiary which was a Nevada corporation. On October 4, 2006, it changed its name from Welund Fund, Inc. to Solar Power, Inc., and it effected a one-for-three reverse stock split. For purposes of discussion and disclosure, we refer to the predecessor as Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.), to distinguish it from the registrant and accounting acquirer, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation.
     On May 10, 2005, International Assembly Solutions, Limited (a company formed under the laws of Hong Kong S.A.R. (“IAS HK”) formed the limited liability company IAS Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (IAS Shenzhen), in accordance with the PRC’s laws, a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises (collectively known as the “WFOE Law”) and commenced operations the same month. Mr. Kircher, our CEO, was named a director of IAS HK and held disposition and voting control over 8,100,000 shares or approximately 58% of the outstanding shares. Messrs. Kircher, Gerald Moore and Sam Lau were directors of IAS Shenzhen from inception until July 15, 2006, at which time our CFO, replaced Mr. Moore as a director. Mr. Kircher made business decisions for IAS Shenzhen, and it did not have formal officers.
     In August 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, entered into a share exchange agreement with all the shareholders of IAS HK, which was incorporated in Hong Kong on January 18, 2005 with limited liability. Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, was originally incorporated in the State of California on May 22, 2006 to facilitate creation of a U.S. holding company for IAS HK operations and to engage in sales, installation and integration of photovoltaic systems in the U.S. Pursuant to the share exchange agreements, the equity owners of IAS HK transferred all their equity interest in IAS HK in exchange for a total of 14,000,000 shares of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation. As a result, IAS HK became a wholly owned subsidiary of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation. There were a total of sixteen shareholders in IAS HK including the controlling shareholders Stephen Kircher, Gerald Moore and Bradley Ferrell. Mr. Kircher, Chairman of the Board of IAS HK, held dispositive and voting control of 8,100,000

shares or approximately 58% of the outstanding shares. Mr. Kircher remains Chairman of the Board for IAS HK. Mr. Moore and Mr. Ferrell owned 4,100,000 (29%) and 1,500,000 (11%) shares, respectively. Neither Mr. Moore nor Mr. Ferrell were directors of IAS HK. IAS HK does not have company officers and management and business decisions were made by Mr. Kircher. Being a group reorganization entered into among entities under common control, the Company combined the historical financial statements of IAS HK and its wholly owned subsidiary, IAS Shenzhen.
DRCI Acquisition
     In February 2005, Dale Renewables Consulting, Inc., (“DRCI”), a California corporation was formed to engage in the business of solar modules and systems installation, integration and sales. In May 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, and Dale Stickney Construction, Inc., (“DSCI”) the parent of DRCI, agreed in principle on the acquisition of DRCI by Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, and entered into an operating agreement with DRCI providing that Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation would effectively be responsible for all current operations, liabilities, and revenues, effective June 1, 2006, as contemplated by the proposed merger agreement.
     In August 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, and DRCI completed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), including the Assignment and Interim Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) which was an exhibit to the Merger Agreement,. The Operating Agreement obligated Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, to provide all financing necessary for DRCI’s operations subsequent to June 1, 2006 until the consummation of the acquisition in exchange for all the revenues generated from its operations. The Operating Agreement also provided that Solar Power, Inc. was to provide all management activities of DRCI on its behalf from June 1, 2006 until the consummation of the acquisition. The Company has taken the position that DRCI became a Variable Interest Entity on June 1, 2006 based upon the accounting literature found in Financial Interpretation Number 46(R) (“FIN 46(R)”), paragraph 5. In addition, based upon FIN 46(R), paragraph 6, footnote 12, the Company had pecuniary interest in DRCI that began on June 1, 2006. Finally, FIN 46 (R), paragraph 14 supports the Company’s position to consolidate as of June 1, 2006 because it absorbed DRCI’s losses and had a contractual right to expect residual returns. Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, acquired DRCI in order to accelerate its entry into the California market for sale and installation of solar systems, including assumption of the installation and construction contracts that DRCI had at that time.
     On November 15, 2006, the Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, completed the acquisition of DRCI, paying $1,115,373 in cash in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of DRCI. The acquisition of DRCI provided Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, with an experienced photovoltaic sales and installation team.
     Neither DRCI or its affiliates had any prior affiliation with Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, or any of its officers, directors or major shareholders. Mr. James Underwood was the former CEO for DRCI and remains the current CEO for DSCI. There are no continuing relationships or arrangements between us and DSCI.
Welund Merger
     On August 23, 2006, Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) formed Welund Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Solar Power, Inc, a California corporation and Welund Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”). The parties entered into the agreement to facilitate Welund Fund, Inc. acquiring an operating business and completing a proposed financing to provide working capital for such operations. The shareholders of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, received 14,500,000 shares of the Solar Power, Inc. a Nevada corporation’s common stock and the Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation, substituted 2,000,000 restricted stock awards and options of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, with the its restricted stock awards and options on the same terms. There was no common control or related party relationships. However, Mr. Kircher was appointed to the board of directors of Welund Fund, Inc. after the merger agreement was entered into and as a condition to the financing. Mr. Kircher received no compensation in connection with his service as a director of Welund Fund, Inc. Pending consummation of the merger, a special committee was formed by the Welund Fund, Inc. board members for purposes of any and all matters related to the merger, which committee excluded Mr. Kircher due to his interest in Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation. Incident to the financing, Welund Fund, Inc. also changed its name to Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
     On December 29, 2006, Merger Sub merged with Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, pursuant to which Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, was the surviving entity. As a result of the merger, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, became our wholly-owned subsidiary and we discontinued our former operations and business of purchasing sub-prime auto loans. In addition,

Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, received the net proceeds of the private placement made by Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.). In addition, 14,500,000 shares of common stock were issued to Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, shareholders and 2,000,000 restricted stock awards and options of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, were substituted for Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) stock awards and option plan. As a condition and incident to the merger, Messrs. Strasser, Smith and Landa resigned all positions as officers and directors of Solar Power, Inc. a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.). At that time, the officers and directors of Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, became our officers and directors. The merger was structured as a reverse merger, and we became the registrant and the accounting acquirer as a result of the merger.
     In addition, on February 15, 2007, Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) completed a redomicile into the State of California by merging with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary, Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, which survived.

Industry Overview
     According to industry studies, net electricity consumption is expected to more than double between 2003 and 2030, growing from 14.8 trillion kilowatt hours to 30.1 trillion kilowatt hours. During this time frame, the report projects that natural gas and renewable energy sources are the only fuels expected to see an increase in the share of the total world electricity generation. We have not commissioned any independent industry studies and rely on existing reports currently.

     Currently, the electric power industry is one of the world’s largest industries with annual global revenues reaching approximately $1 trillion per year. Higher fossil fuel prices, particularly for natural gas, have raised the cost of producing electricity. As a result of these higher production costs, renewable energy sources such as solar are better able to compete economically.
     In 2003, nearly 60 percent of the total net electricity consumption in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) economies was in the residential and commercial building sectors. The industrial sectors accounts for 39%.
     Economic growth is among the most important factors to be considered in projecting changes in the world’s energy consumption. Over the 2003 to 2030 period, the projected world real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to average 3.8% annually. Despite higher energy prices over the last 2 years, the U.S. economy is projected to grow an average of 3.0% between 2006 and 2015 and then slow to 2.9%. Canada’s growth is expected to mirror the United States while Mexico should see growth closer to 4.1%.
     Between 2003 and 2030, much of the world’s economic growth is expected to occur among the nations of non-OECD Asia. China for example, is expected to have demand grow by an average 5.5% per year. By 2020, China is expected to have the world’s largest economy, based on share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Another country experiencing similar demand growth is India, where the average annual GDP is projected to be 5.4% over the same timeframe.
     According to an industry report, to meet the world’s electricity demand, an extensive expansion of installed generating capacity will be required. How each country or region adds the additional capacity depends on the availability of local resources, energy security and market competition among fuel choices. The fuel mix used to generate electricity over the past thirty years has changed significantly. Coal has remained the dominant fuel but the use of nuclear power increased during the 1970s and natural gas rapidly grew during the 1980s and 1990s. This fuel mix change was encouraged by the rise in oil prices.
     In 2003, the fuel mix for electricity generation included coal with 40%, natural gas with 19%, oil with 10%, nuclear power with 8% and renewable sources, such as solar, hydroelectric and wind power with 23%. Solar accounted for less than one percent. Electric power producers face several challenges in meeting anticipated growth in electricity demand:
    Environmental regulations. Environmental regulations addressing global climate change and air quality seek to limit emissions by existing fossil fuel-fired generation plants and new generating facilities. Countries that are parties to international treaties such as the Kyoto Protocol have voluntarily submitted to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. National and regional air pollution regulations also restrict the release of carbon dioxide and other gases by power generation facilities.
 
    Infrastructure reliability. Investment in electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure has not kept pace with increased demand, resulting in major service disruptions in the United States, such as the Northeast blackout in August 2003. Increasing capacity of the aging infrastructure to meet capacity constraints will be capital intensive, time consuming and may be restricted by environmental concerns.
 
    Fossil fuel supply constraints and cost pressures. The supply of fossil fuels is finite. While an adequate supply of coal, natural gas and oil exists for the foreseeable future, depletion of the fossil fuels over this century may impact prices and infrastructure requirements. For example, the U.S. domestic supply of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is not expected to meet consumption requirements by 2025, requiring significant investment in LNG shipping terminal infrastructure to support imported fuel. Political instability, labor unrest, war and the threat of terrorism in oil producing regions has disrupted oil production, increased the volatility of fuel prices and raised concerns over foreign dependency in consumer nations.
 
    Weather. Regional weather impacts, such as higher temperatures or drought frequencies and duration, may affect the demand for electricity consumption or the ability to produce additional electrical supplies, as in the case of hydro production.
     We believe that economic, environmental and national security pressures and technological innovations are creating significant opportunities for new entrants within the electric power industry. The demand for additional electricity resources will bring changes to the market place and create opportunities for those companies that anticipate, plan and execute appropriately.
Distributed Generation and Renewable Energy
     Distributed generation and renewable energy are two promising areas for growth in the global electric power industry. Distributed generation is defined as point-of-use electricity generation that either supplements or bypasses the electric utility grid. Distributive generation employs technologies such as solar power, micro turbines and fuel cells. The move to distributed power will come from

capacity constraints, increased demand for reliable power reliability and the economic challenges of building new centralized generation and transmission facilities.
     Renewable energy is defined as energy supplies that derive from non-depleting sources such as solar, wind and certain types of biomass. Renewable energy reduces dependence on imported and increasingly expensive oil and natural gas. In addition, growing environmental pressures, increasing economic hurdles of large power generation facilities and U.S. National Security interests are favorable drivers for renewable energy. Renewable energy, including solar and wind power, is the fastest growing segment of the energy industry worldwide.
     Solar power is both distributed and renewable. Solar power is an environmentally benign, locally sourced renewable energy source that can play an immediate and significant role in assisting global economic development, forging sustainable global environmental and energy policies, and protecting national security interests.
Solar Power
     Solar power generation uses interconnected photovoltaic cells to generate electricity from sunlight. The photovoltaic process (PV) captures packets of light (photons) and converts that energy into electricity (volts). Most photovoltaic cells are constructed using specially processed silicon. When sunlight is absorbed by a semiconductor, the photon knocks the electrons loose from the atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity. This generated electricity is direct current (DC).
     Light can be separated into different wavelengths with a wide range of energies. These photons may be reflected, absorbed or passed right through the PV cell. Solar cell technology only has the ability to capture the energy of photons within a specific range. Lower wavelength photons create heat, resulting in higher solar cell temperatures and lower conversion rate to energy. Higher wavelength photons have lower levels of energy and thus do not generate electricity. A typical commercial cell has an efficiency of only 15%.
     Many interconnected cells are packaged into solar modules, which protect the cells and collect the electricity generated. Solar power systems are comprised of multiple solar modules along with related power electronics. Solar power technology, first used in the space program in the late 1950s, has experienced growing worldwide commercial use for over 25 years in both on-grid and off-grid applications.
    On-grid. On-grid applications provide supplemental electricity to customers that are served by an electric utility grid, but choose to generate a portion of their electricity needs on-site. The On-grid segment is typically the most difficult to compete in since electricity generated from coal, nuclear, natural gas, hydro and wind is generally at much lower rates. Despite the unfavorable cost comparisons, On-grid applications have been the fastest growing part of the solar power market. This growth is primarily driven by the worldwide trend toward deregulation and privatization of the electric power industry, as well as by government initiatives, including incentive programs to subsidize and promote solar power systems in several countries, including Japan, Germany and the United States. On-grid applications include residential and commercial rooftops, as well as ground-mounted mini-power plants.
 
    Off-grid. Off-grid applications serve markets where access to conventional electric power is not economical or physically feasible. Solar power products can provide a cost-competitive, reliable alternative for such power applications as highway call boxes, microwave stations, portable highway road signs, remote street or billboard lights, vacation homes, rural homes in developed and developing countries, water pumps and battery chargers for recreational vehicles and other consumer applications.
     Solar power has emerged as one of the primary distributed generation technologies seeking to capitalize on the opportunities resulting from trends affecting the electric power industry. Relative to other distributed generation technologies, solar power benefits include:
    Modularity and scalability. From tiny solar cells powering a hand-held calculator to an array of roof modules powering an entire home to acres of modules on a commercial building roof or field, solar power products can be deployed in many sizes and configurations and can be installed almost anywhere in the world. Solar is among the best technologies for power generation in urban areas, environmentally sensitive areas and geographically remote areas in both developing and developed countries.

43

    Reliability. With no moving parts and no fuel supply required, solar power systems reliably power some of the world’s most demanding applications, from space satellites to maritime applications to remote microwave stations. Solar modules typically carry warranties as long as 25 years.
 
    Dual use. Solar modules are expected to increasingly serve as both a power generator and the skin of the building. Like architectural glass, solar modules can be installed on the roofs or facades of residential and commercial buildings.
 
    Environmentally cleaner. Subsequent to their installation solar power systems consume no fuel and produce no air, water or noise emissions.
     Germany, Japan and the United States presently comprise the majority of world market sales for solar power systems. Government policies in these countries, in the form of both regulation and incentives, have accelerated the adoption of solar technologies by businesses and consumers. For example, in the United States, the 2005 energy bill enacted a 30% investment tax credit for solar, and in January 2006 California approved the largest solar program in the country’s history, a $3.2 billion, 11-year California Solar Initiative. The California Solar Initiative is a recently adopted state policy expiring in 2017 that provides for long term subsidies in the form of rebates to encourage all Californians to use solar energy where possible. This Initiative is of particular importance to us because our Company’s headquarters are in Sacramento, California, and we anticipate that our first franchise sales will be in California. These three countries together accounted for 83% of the solar global market in 2005. Internationally, Spain, Portugal and Italy have recently developed new solar support programs.
     As a result of the benefits and government support of solar power, the solar power market has seen sustained and rapid growth. Global PV installations have increased from 345 megawatts (MW) in 2001 to 1,460 MW in 2005. Unit shipments have increased over 20% per year on average for the past 20 years, and have never seen a year with negative growth.
     Despite the benefits of solar power, there are also certain risks and challenges faced by solar power. Solar power is heavily dependent on government subsidies to promote rapid introduction and acceptance by mass markets. Solar is an inert process that makes it difficult to compare against other non-inert technologies when comparing costs as current solar modules are generally warranted for a 25 year life. When the costs of producing solar are compared to other energy sources, solar power is more expensive than grid-based energy, nuclear, wind, etc. Different solar technologies carry different efficiencies. Traditional PV solar cells carry efficiencies ranging from 13% to 22% per cell. Solar thin film technologies are less expensive to manufacture than PV solar cell but generally carry efficiencies ranging from 5% to 9%.
Our Challenges
     Although solar power can provide a cost-effective alternative for off-grid applications, we believe the principal challenge to widespread adoption of solar power for on-grid applications is reducing manufacturing and installation costs without impairing product reliability. We believe the following advancements in solar power technology are necessary to meet this challenge:
    Efficient material use. Reduce raw materials waste, particularly the waste associated with sawing silicon by conventional crystalline silicon technology. Efficient use of silicon is imperative for the growth of the industry due to the limited supply and increasing cost of silicon raw material expected for the near future.
 
    Simplified and continuous processing. Reduce reliance on expensive, multi-step manufacturing processes.
 
    Reduced manufacturing capital costs. Decrease the costs and risks associated with new plant investments as a result of lower capital costs per unit of production.
 
    Improved product design and performance. Increase product conversion efficiency, longevity and ease of use. Conversion efficiency refers to the fraction of the sun’s energy converted to electricity.
 
    Simplified installation process. Reduce the time and effort required to install a solar system. Eliminate non-value added functions.

Table of Contents

     Our solutions enable our operations to improve the quality and yield of our manufactured products, to improve the delivery of and shorten our time-to-market, thereby improving both product and service profitability. We believe that our solutions provide the following key benefits to our customers:
    cost-effective solar modules and balance of system products;
 
    high quality components and supply chain management expertise;
 
    custom design and manufacturing expertise; and
 
    superior customer service and post-sales support.
Our Strategy
     Our business strategy is to develop, manufacture and market solar panels and system component products to industrial, commercial and residential facilities primarily in the United States. We presently are focused on the following steps to implement our business strategy:
    Outsource completed solar cells. We believe that we have the resources and relationships to acquire solar cells. We have entered into discussion with several manufacturers who possess the production capacity to deliver the required number of complete solar cells but have not entered into binding agreements with them. The manufacturing process to convert metallurgical grade silicon into either solar wafers or solar cells requires high capital investments and long lead times. We firmly believe that our firm’s resources are better applied to manufacturing the solar module and balance of system products.
 
    Accelerate our manufacturing cost reduction and capacity expansion. We intend to quicken the expansion pace, secure critical supply chain and leverage our technology and manufacturing capabilities through strategic partnerships with other participants in the solar power industry. We have extensive experience manufacturing cable wire and mechanical assemblies in our existing facility in China. We apply our expertise and know-how, which requires the same skill sets, into assembling solar modules and balance of system components. Our existing manufacturing team is well versed in bringing components into China, applying value-added services, exporting our finished products through the Chinese regulatory environment and delivering the final product to our customers’ doorsteps. In July 2006, we secured a new 123,784 square foot manufacturing facility providing us with the potential capacity to produce over 50 MW of solar panels annually. During fiscal 2007 we produced approximately 1.6 MW of solar panels.
 
    Accelerate our installation cost reductions. We are implementing a made-to-order system for each customer order. We first utilize our engineering expertise during the initial sales process. This initial review will modify the system proposal resulting in significant savings in materials, labor, re-work and installation time. Completed orders will be bundled and packed in a custom shipping container for delivery to the customer’s address. This ordering, design review and component bundling process will greatly reduce the time needed to complete our installation process.
 
    Diversify and differentiate our product lines. We intend to design a full complement of inverters and balance of systems components to complement a wide array of solar system designs and power generating capacities.
Customers
     We currently build and sell cable and harness assemblies to Siemens, assemblies to Flextronics and wire harness assemblies to certain U.S. telecom companies. Customers in this segment who accounted for at least ten percent of our 2007 revenues include Flextronics 25% and Siemens Transportation Systems 63%. Total 2007 revenues in the cable, wire and mechanical assemblies segment increased by $512,000 or by 17.7% over the prior year. Increased revenue from Siemens Transportation Systems offset by decreased revenues from Flextronics International accounted for the entire segment increase.
     Additionally, we sell photovoltaic systems to a variety of customers including private residential owners, production home builders and commercial facilities. For the period ended December 31, 2007 the Company recorded revenues of approximately $14,744,000 for sales and installation of its photovoltaic systems. One major customer accounted for 10% or more of our photovoltaic revenue, Solar Power Partners, Inc with 41% of total revenue. All contracts are either standard construction or bifurcated construction contracts and are specific to the job site.

Products and Services
     Solar power products in general are built-up through 4 stages of production:
    Wafers. A crystalline silicon wafer is a flat piece of crystalline silicon that can be processed into a solar cell. Wafers are usually square or square with rounded corners. A typical size is 152 millimeters by 152 millimeters.
 
    Cells. A solar cell is a device made from a wafer that converts sunlight into electricity by means of a process known as the photovoltaic effect. Solar cells produce approximately 3.5 watts of power each.
 
    Modules. A solar module is an assembly of solar cells that have been electrically interconnected and laminated in a physically durable and weather-tight package. A typical solar module can produce from 20 to 300 watts of power and range in size from 2 to 25 square feet. Our typical commercial module will range from 180 to 220 watts.
 
    Systems. A solar system is an assembly of one or more solar modules that have been physically mounted and electrically interconnected by cables, meters and inverters to produce electricity. Typical residential on-grid systems produce 2,000 to 6,000 watts of power.
     We intend to make solar modules and systems our primary products. We believe our modules will be competitive with other products in the marketplace and will be certified to international standards of safety, reliability and quality. If our development programs are successful, we expect to continue to increase the conversion efficiency and power of our solar modules as we expand our manufacturing capacity and increase our efficiencies through ongoing process improvement.
Intellectual Property
     We rely and will continue to rely on trade secrets, know-how and other unpatented proprietary information in our business. We have filed applications to register the following trademarks: Yes! Solar Solutions, Yes! Energy Series and Yes! Independence Series (the “Marks”) for use with our franchise operations and solar product brands. In addition, we have 2 provisional patents pending for certain proprietary technologies.
Competition
     The solar power market is intensely competitive and rapidly evolving. Our competitors have established a market position more prominent than ours, and if we fail to secure our supply chain, attract and retain customers and establish a successful distribution network for our solar power products, we may be unable to increase our sales and market share. We compete with major international and domestic companies. Our major systems integration competitors include Sun Power Corporation, SPG Solar, Akeena Solar, Sun Edison plus numerous regional players, and other similar companies primarily located in California and New Jersey. Manufacturing competitors include multinational corporations such as BP Solar, Kyocera Corporation, Mitsubishi, Solar World AG, Sharp Corporation, Sun Power Corporation and Sanyo Corporation. We also expect that future competition will include new entrants to the solar power market offering new technological solutions. Further, many of our competitors are developing and are currently producing products based on new solar power technologies, including other crystalline silicon ribbon and sheet technologies, that we believe will ultimately have costs similar to, or lower than, our projected costs.
     Moreover, we believe that our direct competitors are solar companies that have operations in China or other low cost manufacturing locations to the extent that they supply solar modules to US integrators and compete with us for solar system design and integration work. Under this view, we believe Sun Power Corporation would be considered a competitor even though their manufacturing facilities are in the Philippines and not China.
     We believe that the cost and performance of our technologies, products and services will have advantages compared to competitive technologies, products and services. Our products offer the reliability, efficiency and market acceptance of other crystalline silicon products. We believe our technological process provides lower manufacturing costs resulting from significantly more efficient material usage and fewer processing steps, particularly in module fabrication.
     The entire solar industry also faces competition from other power generation sources, both conventional sources as well as other emerging technologies. Solar power has certain advantages and disadvantages when compared to other power generating technologies. The advantages include the ability to deploy products in many sizes and configurations, to install products almost anywhere in the world, to provide reliable power for many applications, to serve as both a power generator and the skin of a building and to eliminate air, water and noise emissions. Whereas solar generally is cost effective for off-grid applications, the high up-front cost of solar relative to most other solutions is the primary market barrier for on-grid applications. Furthermore, unlike most conventional power

generators, which can produce power on demand, solar power cannot generate power where sunlight is not available, although it is sometimes matched with battery storage to provide highly reliable power solutions.
Manufacturing and Assembly Capabilities
     Prior to our focus in the solar industry we previously did not manufacture solar panels. We believe that our experience in manufacturing and assembly operations in China will give us a competitive advantage in the production of solar module and balance of system products. Our senior management has broad experience in the manufacturing of liquid crystal displays and electronic module assemblies. The manufacturing and assembly process of these products is not unlike the manufacturing and assembly of solar modules and balance of system products.
     Due to the various costs associated with both silicon and subsequent wafer processing, the high cost of solar products has rendered them unmarketable in some geographic areas. The stated goal for some time in the photovoltaic industry has been to reduce manufacturing costs to allow prices to drop to a point where rebates and subsidies are no longer a necessity. We feel our vertically integrated China-based model takes a major step towards the lessening of the rebate dependency.
     We are producing our solar modules and intend to produce balance of system products in fiscal 2008. It is our intent to strive to reduce costs in the overall solar system cost to the end customer with the ultimate goal to make the actual installed cost of solar equivalent to the comparable cost of grid based energy without rebate. These overall reductions in cost will delivered by reducing labor installation costs through better system design and kit packaging and reductions in module and balance of system costs by focusing on driving prices down on these commodity types of products.
     Our principal manufacturing objective is to provide for large-scale manufacturing and assembly of our solar power products at low costs that will enable us to penetrate price-sensitive solar power markets. Our 123,784 square foot campus in NanYue, Shenzhen, Peoples Republic of China (PRC) includes approximately 101,104 square feet of manufacturing space. The Shenzhen facility includes a complete line of equipment to manufacture cable harnesses and mechanical assemblies and a complete line to manufacture solar modules. Additional equipment will test and verify product functionality and performance standards. Currently our solar products manufacturing and assembly business utilizes approximately thirty-two percent (32%) of our manufacturing space and our cable, wire and assembly business utilizes approximately eighteen percent (18%) of our manufacturing space. The unused capacity will be utilized for production of our solar products as our solar business increases. We expect this facility to have a total capacity of approximately 50 megawatts per year if operated at full capacity.
Suppliers
     A substantial portion of our product costs will stem from the purchase of components and raw materials. Raw materials are principally comprised of glass, aluminum frames, sheet metal, EVA bonding materials, copper tabs, and wiring. Components include solar cells, printed circuit boards, electrical connectors, junction boxes, molded plastic parts and packaging materials. These are purchased from a variety of suppliers. We will be dependent on certain key suppliers for sole source supplies of customer specified items. We intend to base component orders on received purchase orders in an effort to minimize our inventory risk by ordering components and products only to the extent necessary. However, in certain circumstances due to priorities of lead times, we may occasionally purchase components and/or a raw material based on rolling forecasts or anticipated orders following a risk assessment.
     Certain components may be subject to limited allocation by certain of our suppliers. In our industry, supply shortages and delays in deliveries of particular components have resulted in curtailed production, or delays in production of assemblies using scarce components or higher component costs. These supply shortages may contribute to an increase in our inventory levels and/or a reduction in our margins. We expect that shortages and delays in deliveries of some components will continue to impact our industry, and we are striving to develop multiple sources of supply where possible.
     We currently purchase solar modules from two major suppliers. Although we intend to manufacture our own solar modules we will also keep purchasing a portion of our solar module requirements from one or both of these suppliers to insure the availability of a second source and to supplement the anticipated output generated by our own production facility.

Sales and Marketing
     We intend to bring our solar power products to market by utilizing strategic company-owned store operations and establishing a national franchise network. We opened our first retail showroom in October 2007 in Northern California in close proximity to our corporate operations, and sold our first franchise in March 2008. Our initial plan is to sell franchises in California to provide reasonable proximity to our corporate operations.
     Company-owned store operations work directly with all regional and national commercial and residential land use companies. We intend to provide national account representatives who will establish long-term relationships with these prime customers. Our company-owned store team is designed to provide reliable product sourcing, PV system designs and reviews, permit and rebate assistance, media and public relations recognition and co-marketing opportunities. In essence, we to strive to provide a one-stop shopping experience for these large volume customers. We intend to establish additional stores in California and then expand to several other geographic locations in the United States.
Franchising
     Outside of Company-owned store operations, we intend to work with franchisee partners who will have exclusive geographical territories that include specific application focus. Regional Company-owned stores intend to provide consistent and reliable product supply, expertise on PV system designs and reviews, assistance with all permits and rebate programs, and extensive marketing and sales support. We believe that by franchising we will be able to accomplish the following:
    Build a national brand
 
    Leverage the brand quickly
 
    Leverage sales and marketing both regionally and nationally
 
    Develop consistency in installation, training and service
 
    Access national accounts through corporate programs rather than regional programs
 
    Provide consistent marketing schemes, materials, and programs with national sales teams
Other Mediums
     We intend to market our products through trade shows, on-going customer communications, promotional material, our web site, direct mail and advertising. Our staff will provide customer service and applications engineering support to our distribution partners while also gathering information on current product performance and future product requirements.
Employees
     As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 170 full-time employees, including approximately 9 engaged in engineering activities and approximately 94 engaged in manufacturing, the majority of which are employed through our subsidiary in China. None of our employees is represented by a labor union nor are we organized under a collective bargaining agreement. We have never experienced a work stoppage and believe that our relations with our employees are good.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
     Our manufacturing facilities consist of 123,784 square feet, including 101,104 square feet of factories and 23,680 square feet of dorms, situated in an industrial suburb of Shenzhen, Southern China known as Long Gang. Only the state may own land in China. Therefore, we lease the land under our facilities, and our lease agreement gives us the right to use the land until July 31, 2009 at an annual rent of $193,350. We have an option to renew this lease for 3 additional years on the same terms.
     Our corporate headquarters are located in Roseville, California in a space of approximately 19,000 square feet. The five year lease commenced on August 1, 2007 and expires in July 2012. The rent is currently $342,972 per year for the first year, $351,540 for the second year, $360,336 for the third year, $369,336 for the fourth year and $378,576 for the remainder of the lease. The Company has an option to renew for an additional five years.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Philosophy
          The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) is charged with the evaluation of the compensation of the executive officers of Solar Power, Inc. and its affiliates (and their performance relative to their compensation) and to assure that they are compensated effectively in a manner consistent with the compensation strategy and resources of the Company, competitive practice, and the requirements of the appropriate regulatory bodies.
          Our Compensation Committee, comprised of independent directors, evaluates and determines compensation philosophy and executive compensation. Our compensation philosophy has the following basic components: (1) establish competitive base salary to attract qualified talent, and (ii) evaluate performance and grant performance-based bonuses that may include equity and cash components. We try to establish executive compensation base salaries to allow us to remain competitive in our industry and to attract and retain executives of a high caliber. Similarly, we try to align a component of annual compensation to performance and achievement of Company objectives in an effort to retain highly motivated executives who are focused on performance. We review other public reports and take into account the compensation paid to executives at similarly situated companies, both within and outside of our industry, when determining and evaluating our compensation philosophy and compensation levels. Company performance, including, but not limited to, earnings, revenue growth, cash flow, and continuous improvement initiatives is a significant part of our evaluation and compensation levels.
          We do not have any employment agreements, nor do we have severance terms or provisions for executive officers.
Compensation Table
     The following table provides information concerning compensation earned by our former and current named executive officers on a post-merger basis, including the options and restricted stock awards substituted in connection with the Merger. A column or table has been omitted if there was no compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to any of the named executive officers or directors required to be reported in such table or column in the respective fiscal year. As of December 31, 2007, no other executive officer was paid in excess of $100,000.

The average loan had a principal balance of approximately $4,708 with an average annual percentage interest rate of approximately 21.54%. The remaining terms of the loans range from 6 to 46 months. We have contracted with Accredited Adjusters, LLC, to service and administer the loans for a monthly fee equal to 1/2% of the outstanding principal balance. Accredited Adjusters is an affiliate of Mr. Freiheit.

At September 30, 2006, we also had a receivable from Village Auto, in the amount of $515, in connection with the repurchase of a delinquent loan.

The purchase price was paid in cash. In addition, we terminated all arrangements with Village Auto, LLC and its affiliates, relating to servicing or administration of auto loans.
     From March to September 2005, we paid rent in the amount of $1,800 per month to Liberty Associates Holdings, LLC, our former principal stockholder and an affiliate of Mr. Freiheit, our former director, President and Chief Executive Officer for the use of certain office space.

The note bore interest at 12% per annum, was payable on demand, and was secured along with other lenders by all of the assets of Paxton.

     On August 23, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by that First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 4, 2006, the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 1, 2006 and the Third Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 21, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”) with SPI, Welund Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Merger was consummated on December 29, 2006, pursuant to which SPI became our wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the Merger we issued an aggregate of 14,500,000 shares of our restricted common stock to the existing shareholders of SPI. Each share of common stock of SPI was cancelled and exchanged for one share of our common stock. As a result, Mr. Kircher, our Chief Executive Officer and Director who was also the Director and Chief Executive Officer of SPI, became the beneficial owner of 8,125,000 shares of our common stock, including 2,000,000 shares issued to trusts held for benefit of his sons, and shares issuable upon the exercise of vested options; and Mr. Moore, the Vice President of Manufacturing of SPI, became the beneficial owner of 4,125,000 shares of our common

stock, excluding unvested options to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, 2,000,000 of SPI options were substituted by awards of restricted stock and options to purchase shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share with the options having a term of five years and the restricted stock awards vesting over a period of three years. As a result of the substitution, Messrs. Kircher, Carnahan, Moore and Ferrell have each been granted the option to purchase one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of our common stock. The options are exercisable at $1.00 per share, will vest over a period of three (3) years and have a term of five (5) years. In addition, Messrs. Kircher, Carnahan, Moore and Ferrell were each also granted performance-based options to purchase stock. Messrs. Kircher, Carnahan, Moore and Ferrell each received the option to purchase one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of our common stock, which options will vest at either zero percent (0%) or one hundred percent (100%), such vesting to be determined on December 31, 2010 (the “Determination Time”). The vesting determination will be based on certain annual revenue performance goals of the Company. The performance goals will be determined on a cumulative basis at the Determination Time, to account for any year-to-year discrepancies in meeting each annual performance goal. In addition, Mr. Lefko was granted options to purchase fifty thousand (50,000) shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, which options vest over a period of three (3) years and have a five (5) year term. In addition, as a result of the substitution, Messrs. Cohan, Mr. Regan, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Nyman were each granted restricted stock awards of 25,000 shares of our common stock, of which awards, 6,250 shares have vested.
     In July, August and September 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary SPI, issued five demand promissory notes for an aggregate principal amount of $320,000 bearing an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, to Mr. Kircher, our Director and Chief Executive Officer who was also the Director and Chief Executive Officer of SPI at such time. The promissory notes were issued in connection with advances provided by Mr. Kircher to SPI to be used for working capital.
     In August and September 2006, we loaned SPI an aggregate amount of $200,000 (“Unsecured Loans”). The notes were due on demand and bear interest at 8% per annum. As a result of the Merger, the amount of indebtedness owed to us by SPI has been eliminated through consolidation. In connection with the Unsecured Loans, we required that Mr. Kircher, our director and Chief Executive Officer, enter into a Subordination Agreement dated August 31, 2006 with us, as amended by that certain Addendum to the Subordination Agreement dated September 6, 2006, pursuant to which Mr. Kircher agreed to subordinate any outstanding indebtedness owed to him by SPI to the indebtedness owed to us by SPI as represented by the Unsecured Loans.
     On September 5, 2006, Mr. Kircher was appointed as our Chairman. At the time of Mr. Kircher’s appointment he was the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of SPI. In connection with the merger with SPI, we had appointed a Special Merger Committee consisting of Mr. Strasser, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Landa, which has the power to deal with all merger matters with SPI without the participation or vote of Mr. Kircher.
     On September 19, 2006, we entered into a Credit Facility Agreement and a Security Agreement (the “Loan Documents”) with SPI, pursuant to which we agreed to grant SPI a revolving credit line of up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Credit Facility”). Under the terms of Loan Documents, with the exception of certain permitted liens, we were granted a first priority security interest in all of SPI’s assets owned now or in the future. Any advances under the Credit Facility bear an interest rate equal to eight percent (8%) simple interest per annum. Unless otherwise extended under the Loan Documents, the maturity date for any and all advances is March 31, 2007 and the Credit Facility is available until February 28, 2007. On November 3, 2006, we entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Facility pursuant to which we agreed to increase the existing revolving credit line from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000. As of November 30, 2006, we have loaned SPI an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 under the Credit Facility. As a result of the Merger, the amount of indebtedness owed to us by SPI has been eliminated through consolidation.
     Prior to the Merger, SPI entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Dale Renewables Consulting, Inc., a California corporation (“DRCI”), and its related parties, pursuant to which it was contemplated that SPI would merge with and into DRCI and become the surviving corporation integrating DRCI’s photo-voltaic marketing, sales and installation business in Northern California into SPI’s business (the “DRCI Merger”). In connection SPI’s merger with DRCI on November 15, 2006, we made a separate loan to SPI for $1,446,565 to fund the purchase of DRCI. The note is payable on demand and provides for interest at the rate of 8% per annum. As a result of the Merger, the amount of indebtedness owed to us by SPI has been eliminated through consolidation.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
     The Selling Security Holders and any of our pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of our shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Security Holders may offer and sell shares

Table of Contents

registered using this prospectus at prevailing market prices on the OTCBB or privately negotiated prices as determined by the selling Security holder. The Selling Security Holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;
 
    block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
    at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices after the shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or other applicable exchange;
 
    privately negotiated transactions;
 
    to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part of is declared effective by the Commission;
 
    broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Security Holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
    a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
     The Selling Security Holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
     Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Security Holders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Security Holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Security Holders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
     The Selling Security Holders may from time-to-time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if the Selling Security Holders default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this Prospectus, or under an amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling Security Holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling Security Holders under this prospectus.
     Upon us being notified in writing by a Selling Security Holder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Security Holder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were sold, (iv)the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon us being notified in writing by a Selling Security Holder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
     The Selling Security Holders also may transfer the shares of our common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
     Not withstanding anything in this “Plan of Distribution” to the contrary, under the values of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., Needham & Company, LLC is not permitted to sell the 135,417 shares of our common stock pursuant the exercise of

warrants issued to them, in each case as registered on the Registration Statement, for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or commencement of sales there under.
     The Selling Security Holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of the securities will be paid by the Selling Security Holder and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Security Holder has represented and warranted to us that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Security Holder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Security Holder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
     We have advised each Selling Security Holder that it may not use shares registered on the registration statement to cover short sales of common stock made prior to the date on which the registration statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling Security Holder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Security Holders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations there under promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Security Holders in connection with re-sales of our respective shares under this Registration Statement.
     We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock except upon exercise of certain warrants. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Security Holders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
     We are authorized by our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value. As of April 21, 2008 there were 37,655,325 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding Holders of shares of common stock have full voting rights, one vote for each share held of record. Stockholders are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefore and share pro rata in any distributions to stockholders upon liquidation. Stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or subscription rights. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable, and all the shares of common stock issued by us upon the exercise of outstanding warrants will, when issued, be fully paid and non-assessable.
     On October 5, 2006, we effected a one-for-three reverse stock split. In connection therewith, we did not issue any fractional shares of our common stock or scrip.
Preferred Stock
     Under our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation we may issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding. Our board of directors has the authority to determine the designation of each series of preferred stock and the authorized number of shares of each series. The board of directors also has the authority to determine and alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of shares of preferred stock and to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series. Any or all rights of the preferred stock may be greater than the rights of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with voting and/or conversion rights may also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.

Results of Reincorporation
     In connection with our redomicile to the State of California on February 15, 2007, each outstanding share of our common stock, par value $.0001 prior to the redomicile, was automatically converted into one share, par value $.0001, of SPI as the surviving corporation, (b) each issued and outstanding option, warrant, convertible security or other right to purchase shares of our common stock prior to the redomicile were automatically then converted into an option, warrant, convertible security or other right to purchase shares of common stock of SPI as the surviving corporation upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth in the original agreements, documents, certificates or other instruments issued previously by us, and(c) all of our obligations under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan were assumed by SPI as the surviving corporation.
     As a result of the re-domicile, holders of our shares of common stock prior to the re-domicile are now holders of SPI, the surviving corporation, and their rights as holders are now governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of California, Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of SPI, and Bylaws of SPI.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
     Section 317 of the California Corporations Code authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation eliminate the liability of the directors of the registrant for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under California law. In addition, the registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the registrant has the authority to indemnify the registrant’s directors and officers and may indemnify the registrant’s employees and agents (other than officers and directors) against liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by California law. The registrant is also empowered under the registrant’s Bylaws to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom the registrant is required or permitted to indemnify.
     In connection with our engagement of Needham & Company, LLC and Roth Capital as our exclusive agent for the offering of up to $25,000,000, we have agreed to indemnify Roth Capital against various liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
     The validity of the shares of common stock offered by the Selling Security Holders has been passed on by the law firm of Weintraub Genshlea Chediak, a professional corporation, Sacramento, California.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Solar Power, Inc.
Roseville, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Solar Power, Inc. (formerly International Assembly Solutions, Limited) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of International Assembly Solutions, Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect revenues of $2,888,335 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for such subsidiary, is based solely on the report of other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Solar Power, Inc. (formerly International Assembly Solutions, Limited) at December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SOLAR POWER, INC.
(FORMERLY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY SOLUTIONS, LIMITED)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
     Solar Power, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively the “Company”) engage in sales, installation and integration of photovoltaic systems and manufactures and sells cable, wire and mechanical assemblies.
     Solar Power, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California in 2006. In August 2006, the Company entered into a merger agreement with International Assembly Solutions, Limited (“IAS HK”) which was incorporated in Hong Kong in January 2005. Effective November 2006, the equity owners of IAS HK transferred all their equity interests to Solar Power, Inc. in exchange for a total of 14,000,000 shares of its common stock at a par value of $0.0001 each. There were a total of sixteen shareholders in IAS HK including the controlling shareholders Stephen Kircher, Gerald Moore and Bradley Farrell. This transaction was structured to create a U.S. holding company and there were not any new or different shareholders involved. As such, the commonality among shareholders was 100%. There was no other consideration paid to any shareholder in connection with the formation of the holding company. Because the merger was entered into among entities under common control, the accompanying consolidated financial statements presents the results of operations of the combined companies for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     In August 2006, the Company, Dale Renewable Consulting Inc. (DRCI) and Dale Stickney Construction, Inc., (DSCI) formalized an acquisition agreement (the Merger Agreement) and entered into an Assignment and Interim Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”). The Operating Agreement obligated the Company to do the following from June 1, 2006:
1. Combine DRCI’s operations with the Company’s, including labor force,
2. Provide all financing necessary for DRCI’s operations,
3. Absorb 100% of the results of DRCI’s operations and,
4. Provide all management services to DRCI until the consummation of the acquisition.
     As a result of the above, the Company became the primary beneficiary of DRCI on June 1, 2006 and DRCI was a variable interest entity as of June 1, 2006 in accordance with paragraphs 5.a and 5.b of FIN 46 (R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. The Company had a contractual agreement to absorb 100% of DRCI’s operations as of June 1, 2006. In addition, the Company did not reallocate any of DRCI’s expected losses or residual returns. Consequently the Company became the primary beneficiary of DRCI’s operations and consolidated the results of operations as of that date. Also as required under paragraphs 18 and 21 of FIN 46 (R), the assets and liabilities of DRCI were measured at their estimated fair values at the date the Company became the primary beneficiary as if the initial consolidation had resulted from a business combination.
     In November 2006, Solar Power, Inc. completed the acquisition of DRCI, acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of DRCI. By virtue of the rights and obligations assumed by the Company under the Operating Agreement, the acquisition of DRCI became effective on June 1, 2006. As a result, the financial statements of the Company include the results of operations of DRCI subsequent to June 1, 2006 and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets as of June 1, 2006.
     The Company allocated the purchase price of $1,115,373 in cash to the estimated fair values of the acquired assets as follows:
         
Inventories
  $ 35,341  
Other current assets
    637,089  
Plant and equipment
    7,995  
Goodwill
    434,948  
 
     
Total
  $ 1,115,373

     During the fourth quarter of 2006, in conjunction with its valuation procedures related to the DRCI acquisition, the Company determined that because of a lack of continuity interest, the transition did not qualify as a reorganization for tax purposes and should be treated as a purchase of assets with a liquidation target. As a result, the Company revised its purchase price allocation to eliminate the previously recorded deferred tax liability of $267,577, resulting in an offsetting decrease in goodwill.
     In September 2006, Sundance Power, LLC and Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation, agreed to initial terms on sharing revenue on joint contract customers. In December 2006, the Company modified the arrangement entered into on September 5, 2006 under which it agreed to pay specified percentages of certain contracts developed by Sundance and installed by the Company in exchange for Sundance providing certain goods and services to the Company and the joint contract customers. Under the revised arrangement the Company agreed to retain revenues that would otherwise be paid to Sundance under the previous agreement the Company assumed with the DRCI acquisition and acquire the service mark of Sundance in exchange for cash and stock payments to Sundance. The Company initially paid $75,000 in cash and issued 75,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $75,000. The Company was obligated for additional cash payments of $175,000 upon the earlier of (a) the Completion of the Joint Contracts or (b) December 31, 2006. The Company made the required cash payment on January 3, 2007. Subject to the performance of the underlying contracts the Company is conditionally obligated to issue its common stock worth $175,000 at market value upon completion of the Joint Contracts. “Completion” of the Joint Contracts occurs when the Company has received final payment under the terms of the contract.
     In February 2007, the Company issued 31,435 shares of its common stock as an additional payment under the agreement with Sundance Power, LLC. The shares were fair-valued at $1.00 per share.
     On August 30, 2007, the Company entered into Amendment #1 to the agreement settling its obligation to Sundance Power, LLC, issuing 42,500 shares of the Company’s common stock fair-valued at $1.00 per share and warrants to purchase 76,722 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share with a fair-value of $55,777, offsetting expenses of $36,228 leaving a balance due to Sundance at December 31, 2007 of $9,060. At December 31, 2006 the Company determined that it was probable that the conditional payments would be made and recorded the estimated obligation in prepaid expenses and other current assets at $500,000 and recorded an accrued liability of $350,000. The asset was expensed to sales, marketing and customer service expenses during 2007 as the related revenue was recognized or as it was determined that the contracts were no longer viable. The life of the contract is based upon the underlying construction contracts. In exchange for these payments from the Company, Sundance relinquished its right to obtain any future payment constituting a share of the revenues of any Joint Contract or other Solar Power Contracts, relinquished its right to obtain any future payment from the sale or installation of solar electric power system goods and services, and transfers to the Company all of its rights to the service mark of Sundance. The Company has not and does not plan to use the service mark for any service branding. As a result, the Company has not allocated any value to Sundance’s service mark. The amounts paid under this agreement have been classified as sales, marketing and customer service because Sundance was only in a position to provide sales and marketing support and customer service support with utility interconnection, rebate processing and training for owner education. Sundance did not have the working capital to purchase hardware, specifically photovoltaic panels and inverters, needed for the four specified projects or any other projects that the Company secured.
     In December 2006, Solar Power, Inc. became a public company through its reverse merger with Solar Power, Inc. (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.). The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the operations of Solar Power, Inc., its predecessor, International Assembly Solutions, Limited and their subsidiaries.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Solar Power, Inc., its predecessor and their subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation.
     Cash and cash equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash accounts and interest bearing savings accounts. At times, cash balances may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to bank balances in excess of government provided insurance. At December 31, 2007, the Company held approximately $8,901,000 in bank balances in excess of the insurance limits.
     Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the weighted average cost method, or market. Work-in-progress and finished goods inventories consist of raw materials, direct labor and overhead associated with the manufacturing process. Provisions are made for obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on management estimates. Inventories are written down based on

80


Table of Contents

the difference between the cost of inventories and the net realizable value based upon estimates about future demand from customers and specific customer requirements on certain projects.
     Anti-dilutive Shares — SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding other common stock equivalents, including common stock options, warrants, and restricted common stock, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 2,843,965 and 1,900,000 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since their effect would be anti-dilutive.
     Plant and equipment — Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost including the cost of improvements. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
     
Plant and machinery
  5 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
  5 years
Computers and software
  3 – 5 years
Equipment acquired under capital leases
  3 – 5 years
Automobiles
  3 years
Leasehold improvements
  the initial lease term
     Goodwill — Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets”, which requires the carrying value of goodwill to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, using a fair-value-based approach. No impairment of goodwill has been identified during any of the periods presented.
     Revenue recognition — The Company’s two primary business segments include cable and wire mechanical assemblies and photovoltaic systems installation, integration and solar panel sales.
     In our cable, wire and mechanical assemblies business the Company recognizes the sales of goods when there is evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of ownership have passed (generally upon delivery), the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Generally there are no formal customer acceptance requirements or further obligations related to our assembly services once we ship our products. Customers do not have a general right of return on products shipped therefore we make no provisions for returns. We make determination of our customer’s credit worthiness at the time we accept their order.
     In our photovoltaic systems installation, integration and product sales segment, revenue on product sales is recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of ownership have passed (generally upon delivery), the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Customers do not have a general right of return on products shipped therefore we make no provisions for returns.
     Revenue on photovoltaic system construction contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting. At the end of each period, the Company measures the cost incurred on each project and compares the result against its estimated total costs at completion. The percent of cost incurred determines the amount of revenue to be recognized. Payment terms are generally defined by the contract and as a result may not match the timing of the costs incurred by the Company and the related recognition of revenue. Such differences are recorded as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts or billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. The Company determines its customer’s credit worthiness at the time the order is accepted. Sudden and unexpected changes in customer’s financial condition could put recoverability at risk.
     In our solar photovoltaic business, contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. Selling and general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from

81


Table of Contents

contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured.
     The assets, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
     Allowance for doubtful accounts — The Company regularly monitors and assesses the risk of not collecting amounts owed to the Company by customers. This evaluation is based upon a variety of factors including: an analysis of amounts current and past due along with relevant history and facts particular to the customer. It requires the Company to make significant estimates, and changes in facts and circumstances could result in material changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2007 the Company has recorded an allowance of $47,624.
     Stock-based compensation — Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” (SFAS No. 123(R)”) which requires the Company to measure the stock-based compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and generally recognizes the costs in the financial statements over the employee requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted was based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Prior to 2006 the Company had not issued stock options or other forms of stock-based compensation.
     Shipping and handling cost — Shipping and handling costs related to the delivery of finished goods are included in cost of goods sold. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, shipping and handling costs expensed to cost of goods sold were $349,840 and $171,745, respectively.
     Advertising costs — Costs for newspaper, television, radio, other media and design are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. The costs for this type of advertising were approximately $337,000 in 2007 and $12,000 in 2006.
     Product Warranties — In our cable and wire assembly business our current standard product warranty for our mechanical assembly product ranges from one to five years. We offer the industry standard of 20 years for our solar modules and industry standard five (5) years on inverter and balance of system components. Due to the warranty period, we bear the risk of extensive warranty claims long after we have shipped product and recognized revenue. In our cable and wire assembly business, historically our warranty claims have not been material. In our solar photovoltaic business our greatest warranty exposure is in the form of product replacement. Until the third quarter, the Company purchased its solar panels from third-party suppliers and since the third-party warranties are consistent with industry standards we consider our financial exposure to warranty claims immaterial. Certain photovoltaic construction contracts entered into during the year ended December 31, 2007 included provisions under which the Company agreed to provide warranties to the buyer, and during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company began installing its own manufactured solar panels. As a result, the Company recorded the provision for the estimated warranty exposure on these contracts within cost of sales. Since the Company does not have sufficient historical data to estimate its exposure, we have looked to historical data reported by other solar system installers and manufacturers. Therefore we have not provided any warranty reserves in our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2006, but have provided a warranty reserve of $102,698 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
     Income taxes — We account for income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the weight of available evidence, including expected future earnings. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
     Foreign currency translation — The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars and the Company conducts substantially all of their business in U.S. dollars.
     All transactions in currencies other than functional currencies during the year are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Related accounts payable or receivable existing at the balance sheet date denominated in currencies other than the

82


Table of Contents

functional currencies are translated at period end rates. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency transactions and balances are included in income.
     Aggregate net foreign currency transaction income included in the income statement was $213,750 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Aggregate net foreign currency expenses included in the income statement was $24,273 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     Comprehensive income (loss) — Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity during the period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive income, which are excluded from net income, include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized (loss) of available-for-sale securities. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no material components of comprehensive income or loss, therefore, comprehensive loss was the same as net loss.
     Post-retirement and post-employment benefits — The Company’s subsidiaries which are located in the People’s Republic of China contribute to a state pension scheme on behalf of its employees. The Company recorded $43,952 and $13,834 in expense related to its pension contributions for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries provide any other post-retirement or post-employment benefits.
     Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. With respect to the acquisition of DRCI by Solar Power, Inc. a California corporation, the Company estimated the fair value of contracts acquired based on certain assumptions to be approximately $637,000. The Company estimated the value of each contract opportunity acquired by estimating the percentage of contracts that would be signed and by applying a comparable acquisition cost to each contract based on the Company’s current sales subcontractor commission rates.
3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     In September 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on Issue 04-13 “Accounting for Purchase and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty”. EITF 04-13 requires that two or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same counterparty be combined and considered a single arrangement for purpose of applying APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions”, when the transactions are entered into in contemplation of one another. EITF 04-13 is effective for new arrangements entered into, or modifications or renewals of existing arrangements, in interim or annual periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The Company has evaluated the effect of the adoption of EITF 04-13 and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. This interpretation, among other things, creates a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon ultimate settlement. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. FIN 48 specifically prohibits the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for de-recognition of tax positions, and it has expanded disclosure requirements.
     As of December 31, 2007, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits. It is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits may be identified within the next twelve months. We currently do not anticipate any significant changes to our position over the next 12 months.

     We file a federal income tax return in the U.S., as well as income tax returns in California and Colorado, and certain other foreign jurisdictions. We are currently not the subject of any income tax examinations.
     In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The guidance is applicable in the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108, effective December 31, 2006, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS No. 157 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. FAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008 FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2 that defers the effective date of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed a fair value in financial statements on a recurring basis, for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. In addition, FASB also agreed to exclude from scope of FASB 157 fair value measurements made for purposes of applying FAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” and related interpretive accounting pronouncements. The Company does not expect FAS No. 157 to have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, (“FAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141(R)”) which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is prospectively effective to business combinations for which the acquisition is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of FAS 141(R) on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be determined in part by the nature and timing of any future acquisitions completed by it.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (as amended)” (“FAS 160”) which improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as equity consolidated financial statements. Moreover, FAS 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008; earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, our placement agent, Needham & Company, LLC additionally received warrants to purchase 135,417 shares to purchase our common stock at an exercise price of $3.90 per share expiring on December 20, 2012. The shares were offered and sold by us in reliance on Section 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, and comparable exemptions for sales under state securities laws.
     In November 2007, we issued 50,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant issued for consulting services at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

     In September 2007, we issued 50,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of a consulting agreement. The shares were fair-valued at $1.00 per share, the price of our most recent private placement since our shares were not trading publically at the time. The Company expensed $50,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
     In August 2007, we issued 42,500 shares of our common stock in settlement of an obligation. The shares were fair-valued at $1.00 per share.
     In April 2007, we entered into our standard Securities Purchase Agreement with E-Ton Solar Tech, Co., Ltd. (E-Ton) a foreign accredited investor as part of a private placement to raise $500,000 (the “Financing”). In connection with the Financing, we sold an aggregate of 500,000 shares of restricted common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (the per share price of our most recent private placement) for an aggregate sale price of $500,000 to E-Ton.
     In February 2007, we issued 31,435 shares of our common stock in settlement of an obligation. The shares were fair-valued at $1.00.

     In December 2006, the Company effected a reverse merger with Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.). The Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer for purposes of recording the transaction. Prior to the reverse merger the Company’s and Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) outstanding shares of common stock totaled 14,500,000 and 17,666,667, respectively. Subsequent to the reverse merger the Company issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock. Accordingly, the outstanding shares of the Company at December 31, 2006 consist of the sum of the shares of the Company, Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) and the shares of restricted common stock. In conjunction with the reverse merger, the Company recorded the net assets of Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.), less direct transaction costs, as an increase to its additional paid in capital.

     SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (as amended), provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will be realized. Management reviews deferred tax assets periodically for recoverability and makes estimates and judgments regarding the expected geographic sources of taxable income in assessing the need for a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Because of our lack of earnings history, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $3.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $9.2 million, which will expire starting in year 2021. The Company had a state net operating loss carry forward of approximately $6.2 million, which will expire starting in 2016.
     Utilization of the federal and state net operating loss and credit carry forwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.
     The Company intends to permanently reinvest all foreign earnings in foreign jurisdictions and has calculated its tax liability and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities accordingly.
     PRC Taxation — Enterprise income tax in the PRC is generally charged at 33%, of which 30% is for national tax and 3% is for local tax, of the assessable profit. The subsidiary of the Company is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise established in Shenzhen, the PRC, and is engaged in production-oriented activities; according to enterprise income tax laws for foreign enterprises, the national tax rate is reduced to 15%. Pursuant to the same income tax laws, the subsidiary is also exempted from the PRC enterprise income tax for two years starting from the first profit-making year, followed by a 50% tax exemption for the next three years. The Company has yet to start its first profit-making year.
     Hong Kong Taxation — A subsidiary of the Company is incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong profits tax. The Company is subject to Hong Kong taxation on its activities conducted in Hong Kong and income arising in or derived from Hong Kong. The applicable profits tax rate for all periods is 17.5%. A provision of $58,227 and $45,039 for profits tax was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
10. Stock-based Compensation
     Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123(R)”) which requires the Company to measure the stock-based compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognizes the costs in the financial statements over the employee requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted was based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Prior to 2006 the Company had not issued stock options or other forms of stock-based compensation.

Table of Contents

     As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Determining Fair Value
     Valuation and Amortization Method — The Company estimates the fair value of service-based and performance-based stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. In the case of performance-based stock options, amortization does not begin until it is determined that meeting the performance criteria is probable. Service-based and performance-based options typically have a five year life from date of grant and vesting periods of three to four years. For the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from January 1, 2007 to September 23, 2007 the fair value of share awards granted was determined by the last private placement price of our common stock since our shares were not trading during that time. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period.
     Expected Term — The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. For awards granted subject only to service vesting requirements, the Company utilizes the simplified method under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB No. 107”) for estimating the expected term of the stock-based award, instead of historical exercise data. Prior to 2006 the Company did not issue share-based payment awards and as a result there is no historical data on option exercises. For its performance-based awards, the Company has determined the expected term life to be 5 years based on contractual life, the seniority of the recipient and absence of historical data on the exercise of such options.
     Expected Volatility — Because there is no history of stock price returns, the Company does not have historical volatility data for its equity awards. Accordingly, the Company has chosen to use the historical volatility rates for a publicly-traded U.S.-based direct competitor to calculate the volatility for its granted options.
     Expected Dividend — The Company has never paid dividends on its common shares and currently does not intend to do so, and accordingly, the dividend yield percentage is zero for all periods.
     Risk-Free Interest Rate — The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method upon the implied yield curve currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term used as the assumption in the model.
     Assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards using the Black-Scholes model were as follows:
                                 
    2007   2006
    Service-based   Performance-based   Service-based   Performance-based
Expected term
    2.5 - 3.75       N/A       3.75       5.0

    3.59% - 4.92 %     N/A       4.69 %     4.69 %
Volatility
    83% - 92 %     N/A       92 %     92 %
Dividend yield
    0 %     N/A       0 %     0 %
Equity Incentive Plan
     On November 15, 2006, subject to approval of the stockholders, the Company adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which permits the Company to grant stock options to directors, officers or employees of the Company or others to purchase shares of common stock of the Company through awards of incentive and nonqualified stock options (“Options”), stock (“Restricted Stock” or “Unrestricted Stock”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The Plan was approved by the stockholders on February 7, 2007.

Table of Contents

     The Company currently has service-based and performance-based options and restricted stock grants outstanding. The service-based options vest in 25% increments and expire five years from the date of grant. Performance-based options vest upon satisfaction of the performance criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and expire five years from the date of grant. The restriction period on restricted shares shall expire at a rate of 25% per year over four years.
     Total number of shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this Plan is equal to nine percent (9%) of the number of outstanding shares of the Company. Not more than two million (2,000,000) shares of stock shall be granted in the form of incentive stock options.
     Shares issued under the Plan will be drawn from authorized and un-issued shares or shares now held or subsequently acquired by the Company.
     Outstanding shares of the Company shall, for purposes of such calculation, include the number of shares of stock into which other securities or instruments issued by the Company are currently convertible (e.g. convertible preferred stock, convertible debentures, or warrants for common stock), but not outstanding options to acquire stock.
     At December 31, 2007 there were approximately 3,594,561 shares available to be issued under the plan (9% of the outstanding shares of 37,573,263 plus outstanding warrants of 2,366,302). There were 2,167,233 options and restricted shares issued under the plan and 1,427,328 shares available to be issued.
     The exercise price of any Option will be determined by the Company when the Option is granted and may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, and the exercise price of any incentive stock option granted to a Stockholder with a 10% or greater shareholding will not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The exercise price per share of a SAR will be determined by the Company at the time of grant, but will in no event be less than the fair market value of a share of Company’s stock on the date of grant.

     Product Warranties In our cable and wire assembly business our current standard product warranty for our mechanical assembly product ranges from one to five years. We offer the industry standard of 20 years for our solar modules and industry standard five (5) years on inverter and balance of system components. Due to the warranty period, we bear the risk of extensive warranty claims long after we have shipped product and recognized revenue. In our cable and wire assembly business, historically our warranty claims have not been material. In our solar photovoltaic business our greatest warranty exposure is in the form of product replacement. Until the third quarter, the Company purchased its solar panels from third-party suppliers and since the third-party warranties are consistent with industry standards we considered our financial exposure to warranty claims immaterial. Certain photovoltaic construction contracts entered into during the year ended December 31, 2007 included provisions under which the Company agreed to provide warranties to the buyer, and during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company began installing its own manufactured solar panels. As a result, the Company recorded a provision for the estimated warranty exposure on these contracts within cost of sales. Since the Company does not have sufficient historical data to estimate its exposure, we have looked to historical data reported by other solar system installers and manufacturers. The accrual for warranty claims consisted of the following at December 31, 2007:

16. Geographical Information
     The Company has two reportable segments: (1) cable, wire and mechanical assemblies and processing sales (“Cable, wire and mechanical assemblies”) and (2) photovoltaic installation, integration and solar panel sales (“Photovoltaic installation, integration and sales”). The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. Most of the businesses were acquired as a unit and the management at the time of acquisition was retained.
     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
     Section 317 of the California Corporations Code authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation eliminate the liability of the directors of the registrant for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under California law. In addition, the registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the registrant has the authority to indemnify the registrant’s directors and officers and may indemnify the registrant’s employees and agents (other than officers and directors) against liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by California law. The registrant is also empowered under the registrant’s Bylaws to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom the registrant is required or permitted to indemnify.
     In connection with our engagement of Roth Capital as our exclusive agent for the offering of up to $16,000,000, we have agreed to indemnify Roth Capital against various liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION

No expenses will be borne by the Selling Security Holders. All of the amounts shown are estimates, except for the SEC registration fee.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(a) Rule 415 Offering:
     (1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
          (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
          (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; and
          (iii) Include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution.

101


Table of Contents

     (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
     (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
     (4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
     (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
     (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
     (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities, provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
     (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
(b) Request for Acceleration of Effective Date. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) Reliance on Rule 430C. Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
