NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD JUNE 30, 2010

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Solar Power, Inc. (the “Company”), a California corporation, will be held at 10:00 a.m. (PDT), on Wednesday, June 30, 2010, at Solar Power, Inc. Corporate Headquarters, Roseville, California 95661-5247, for the following purposes:

	1.		To elect five (5) directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified;

	2.		To ratify the appointment of Macias, Gini & O’Connell LLP as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010; and

	3.		To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

This year, we are pleased to be using the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule that allows companies to furnish their proxy materials over the Internet. As a result, we are mailing to many of our stockholders a notice instead of a paper copy of this proxy statement and our 2009 Annual Report. The notice contains instructions on how to access those documents over the Internet. The notice also contains instructions on how each of those stockholders can receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, including this proxy statement, our 2009 Annual Report and a form of proxy card or voting instruction card. All stockholders who do not receive a notice, including stockholders who have previously requested to receive paper copies of proxy materials, will receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail unless they have previously requested delivery of proxy materials electronically. Continuing to employ this distribution process will conserve natural resources and reduce the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials.

The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on March 15, 2010, as the record date for determining those shareholders who will be entitled to vote at the meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. Shareholders are invited to attend the meeting in person.

Please vote by proxy via mail, telephone or the Internet as described on the enclosed proxy card whether or not you plan to attend the meeting in person. If you attend the meeting, you may vote in person if you wish, even if you previously have returned your proxy card or voted via telephone or Internet. The proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the time it is voted.

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
2010 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

We are furnishing this proxy statement to you in connection with an Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Solar Power, Inc. (the “Company”) to be held on June 30, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (PDT) at Solar Power, Inc. Corporate Headquarters, Roseville, California 95661-5247, and at any postponement or adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”).

Only shareholders of record on May 10, 2010 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. As used in this Proxy Statement, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” also refer to the Company.

The proxy solicited hereby, if properly signed and returned to us and not revoked prior to its use, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained therein. If no contrary instructions are given, each proxy received will be voted “FOR” the nominees for the Board of Directors, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Macias, Gini & O’Connell LLP as our independent registered accounting firm for the 2010 fiscal year, and at the proxy holder’s discretion, on such other matters, if any, which may properly come before the Meeting (including any proposal to adjourn the Meeting). Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by: (i) filing with the Company written notice of its revocation addressed to: Corporate Secretary, Solar Power, Inc., 1115 Orlando Avenue, Roseville, California, 95661, (ii) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or (iii) appearing at the Meeting and giving the Corporate Secretary notice of his or her intention to vote in person.

This proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors. We will bear the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing proxy materials furnished by the Board of Directors to shareholders. Copies of proxy materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians to be forwarded to beneficial owners of the Company’s stock entitled to vote. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, some of our officers, directors and employees may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies by telephone or personal interview.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, including financial statements, is included in this mailing. Such reports and financial statements are not a part of this proxy statement except as specifically incorporated herein.

This Proxy Statement and form of proxy were first mailed on or about May 20, 2010, to shareholders of record as of May 10, 2010.

RECORD DATE AND VOTING RIGHTS

A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, entitled to vote must be represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at the annual meeting, except with respect to the election of directors. In elections of directors, California law provides that a shareholder, or his or her proxy, may cumulate votes; that is, each shareholder has that number of votes equal to the number of shares owned, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and the shareholder may cumulate such votes for a single candidate, or distribute such votes among as many candidates as he or she deems appropriate. However, a shareholder may cumulate votes only for a candidate or candidates whose names have been properly placed in nomination prior to the voting, and only if the shareholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of his or her intention to cumulate votes for the candidates in nomination. The

Company’s designated proxy holders (the “Proxy Holders”) have discretionary authority to cumulate votes represented by the proxies received in the election of directors. The Proxy Holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in such manner as will assure the election of as many of the nominees described under “Election of Directors” as possible. The five nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to the Board. With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the Proxy Holders will vote in accordance with their own discretion.

Under California law, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for determining quorum. For the election of directors, the nominees for director who receive the most votes will become our directors, provided such votes equal a majority of quorum. A majority of quorum is required to approve Proposal No. 2. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted either for or against any proposal to determine if a proposal is approved.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these materials?

The Company has made these materials available to you on the Internet or, upon your request, has delivered printed versions of these materials to you by mail, in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting, to be held on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, and at any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof. These materials were first sent or given to shareholders on May 20, 2010. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. The Annual Meeting will be held in the Company’s principal executive offices located at the address shown above.

What is included in these materials?

These materials include:

	•		this Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting; and

	•		the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC (the “Annual Report”).

If you requested printed versions of these materials by mail, these materials also include the proxy card or vote instruction form for the Annual Meeting. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, including financial statements, is included in this mailing. Such reports and financial statements are not a part of this proxy statement except as specifically incorporated herein.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting is May 10, 2010. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date are entitled to vote at the meeting. We are currently authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value. As of May 10, 2010, 52,292,576 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding. Each share of Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters submitted for stockholder approval.

Am I entitled to vote if my shares are held in “street name”?

Yes, if a bank or brokerage firm holds your shares in street name for you, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of the shares. If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank or brokerage firm (the “record holder”), along with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct the record holder how to vote your shares, and the record holder is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions.

May I attend the annual meeting if I hold my shares in “street name”?

As the beneficial owner of shares, you are invited to attend the annual meeting. If you are not a record holder, however, you may not attend the meeting or vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder of your shares.

What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present at the Annual Meeting for the transaction of business. This is called a quorum. Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum, whether representing votes for, against or abstained, if you:

	•		are present and vote in person at the Annual Meeting; or

	•		have voted on the Internet, by telephone or by properly submitting a proxy card or vote instruction form by mail.

If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

How are proxies voted?

All valid proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted. All shares represented by a proxy will be voted and, where a shareholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the shareholder’s instructions.

What items will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

Shareholders will vote on two items at the Annual Meeting:

	•		the election to the Board of the five nominees named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 1);

	•		the ratification of the appointment of Macias, Gini & O’Connell LLP as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 (Proposal No. 2);

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” each proposal in this proxy statement.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a paper copy of the proxy materials?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, the Company has elected to provide access to its proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, the Company is sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to the Company’s shareholders of record and beneficial owners. All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. The Company encourages you to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet in order to help reduce the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting.

How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to:

	•		view the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the Internet; and

	•		instruct the Company to send future proxy materials to you electronically by email.

The Company’s proxy materials are also available on the Company’s website at www.solarpowerinc.net.

Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save the Company the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of the Company’s annual meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email message next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting website. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

How may I obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials?

Stockholders receiving a notice about the Internet availability of the proxy materials will find instructions about how to obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials on their notice. Stockholders receiving notice of the availability of the proxy materials by e-mail will find instructions about how to obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials as part of that e-mail. All stockholders who do not receive a notice or an e-mail will receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.

How do I vote if I am a registered stockholder?

1. You may vote by mail. If you are a registered stockholder (that is, if you hold your stock directly and not in street name), you may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the accompanying proxy card and returning it in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. Your proxy will then be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with your instructions.

2. You may vote by telephone or on the Internet. If you are a registered stockholder, you may vote by telephone or on the Internet by following the instructions included on the proxy card. Stockholders with shares registered directly with Computershare, the Company’s transfer agent, may vote (i) on the Internet at the following web address: http://www.edocumentview.com/Solar-Power or (ii) by telephone by dialing 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) (toll free from the United States and Canada). If you vote by telephone or on the Internet, you do not have to mail in your proxy card. If you wish to attend the meeting in person, however, you will need to bring the admission ticket attached to the proxy card with you. Internet and telephone voting are available 24 hours a day. Votes submitted through the Internet or by telephone must be received by 12:00 a.m. (Pacific Daylight Time) on June 30, 2010.

NOTE: If you vote on the Internet, you may elect to have next year’s proxy statement and annual report to stockholders delivered to you via the Internet. We strongly encourage you to enroll in Internet delivery. It is a cost-effective way for us to send you proxy materials and annual reports.

3. You may vote in person at the meeting. If you are a registered stockholder and attend the meeting (please remember to bring your admission ticket or other acceptable evidence of stock ownership as of the record date), you may deliver your completed proxy card in person.

How do I vote if I hold my shares in “street name”?

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a voting card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from Solar Power. Your bank or broker may permit you to vote your shares electronically by telephone or on the Internet. A large number of banks and brokerage firms participate in programs that offer telephone and Internet voting options. If your shares are held in an account at a bank or brokerage firm that participates in such a program, you may vote those shares electronically by telephone or on the Internet by following the instructions set forth on the voting form provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm.

These Internet and telephone voting procedures, which comply with California law, are designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities, allow stockholders to vote their shares and confirm that

stockholders’ votes have been recorded properly. Stockholders voting via either telephone or the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies that must be borne by the stockholder using such services. Also, please be aware that Solar Power is not involved in the operation of these voting procedures and cannot take responsibility for any access, Internet or telephone service interruptions that may occur or any inaccuracies, erroneous or incomplete information that may appear.

What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

Shareholders of Record. If you are a shareholder of record and you:

	•		indicate when voting on the Internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board, or

	•		sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. See the section entitled “Other Matters” below.

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Which ballot measures are considered “routine” or “non-routine”?

The election of directors (Proposal No. 1) is a matter the Company believes will be considered non-routine. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore there may be broker non-votes on Proposal No. 1.

The ratification of the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 (Proposal No. 2) is a matter the Company believes will be considered routine. A broker or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters, and therefore no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal No. 2.

How are broker non-votes treated?

Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. For the purpose of determining whether the shareholders have approved all matters other than the ratification of independent registered accounting firm (Proposal No. 2), broker non-votes have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote. The Company encourages you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided in the Notice.

How are abstentions treated?

Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Shares not present at the Annual Meeting and abstentions have no effect on the ratification of independent registered accounting firm (Proposal No. 2). For the purpose of determining whether the shareholders have approved all other matters, abstentions have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote.

Can I change my vote after I have voted?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. You may vote again on a later date via the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted), by signing and returning a new proxy card or vote instruction form with a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. However, your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the Annual Meeting or specifically request that your prior proxy be revoked by delivering to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 1115 Orlando Avenue, Roseville, California 95661 a written notice of revocation prior to the Annual Meeting.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election and published in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K, which is due within 4 business days after the Annual Meeting.

Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General Information

Our Bylaws presently provide that the authorized number of directors may be determined by a resolution of a majority of the total number of directors of the Board from time to time. On November 23, 2009, our Board set the number of directors at six (6). Mr. Larry Kelley, one of our current Directors, will not stand for reelection to the Board at the annual meeting and will subsequently no longer serve as a member of the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Board thanks Mr. Kelley for his service to the Company. As such, there will only be five (5) directors nominated to serve on the Board, and one vacancy shall exist until such time as the Board does set the number of directors at five (5) effective as of the annual meeting and the Board is therefore reduced to five (5) directors.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect the nominees for director listed below.

Nominees for Director

The nominees for director have consented to being named as nominees in this Proxy Statement and have agreed to serve as directors, if elected. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for the five (5) nominees named below. If any nominee of the Company is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by the present Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unavailable for election. The Directors who are elected shall hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until the earlier of death, resignation or removal, or until their successors are elected and qualified.

The following sets forth the persons nominated by the Board of Directors for election and certain information with respect to those individuals:


Nominee		Age
Steve C. Kircher		56
D. Paul Regan		63
Timothy Nyman		59
Ronald Cohan		68
Francis W. Chen		61

Biographies

Steve C. Kircher

Mr. Kircher has served as the Chairman of our Board of Directors since September 2006. Mr. Kircher has served as our Chief Executive Officer and President since December 29, 2006. Mr. Kircher served as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors since May 2006. Prior to that, Mr. Kircher served as a consultant to International DisplayWorks, Inc. from December 2004 through April 2006. Mr. Kircher also served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of International DisplayWorks, Inc. from July 2001 until December 2004. Mr. Kircher has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, San Diego. Mr. Kircher was the subject of NASD disciplinary proceedings relating to potential violations of NASD Conduct rules for events occurring in 1999 in connection with Mr. Kircher’s status and duties as a principal of CapBay Financial Services. The NASD complaint alleged improper markups based on CapBay’s contemporaneous cost in connection with the purchase and sale of two stocks, failure of brokers to make required penny stock disclosure in connection with the purchase and sale of one stock, and failure to maintain and enforce supervisory procedures designed to achieve compliance with securities rules and regulations. CapBay Financial Services ceased operations in approximately 2001, and Mr. Kircher also ceased working in the industry to manage operations at International DisplayWorks, Inc., as noted above, at the same time. Mr. Kircher later entered into a letter of acceptance, consent and waiver (“AWC”) with the NASD, pursuant to which Mr. Kircher consented to the imposition of disciplinary sanctions, including his agreement that he would not associate with any NASD member in the future without NASD consent. The letter was accepted by NASD in March 2002, and, along with Mr. Kircher’s payment of an agreed upon fine, constituted the final disposition of this matter.

The Board believes that Mr. Kircher’s broad base of management and oversight skills and extensive background experience with respect to establishing manufacturing operations in China and domestically makes him an excellent candidate to serve as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. As our present Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kircher has an extensive understanding of our structure, history and goals and serves as our chief strategist for our business model. Mr. Kircher is also one of our significant investors. As such, not only does Mr. Kircher bring to our Board a wealth of management and oversight experience and expertise, his personal interests are also inextricably aligned with our future success.

D. Paul Regan

D. Paul Regan has served as our director since December 29, 2006. Mr. Regan currently serves as President and Chairman of Hemming Morse, Inc., CPAs, Litigation and Forensic Consultants. This 95 person CPA firm is headquartered in San Francisco. He has been with Hemming Morse since 1975. Mr. Regan’s focus at Hemming Morse is to provide forensic consulting services primarily in civil litigation. He has testified as an accounting expert for the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, various State Attorney Generals, other government agencies and various public companies. He has served on the Board of Directors of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants and was the Chair of this 29,000-member organization in 2004 and 2005. He is a current member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant’s governing Council. Mr. Regan has been a Certified Public Accountant since 1970. He holds both a BS and MS degrees in accounting.

From his career as a CPA, Mr. Regan has broad financial expertise and experience, which the Board believes makes him a valuable contributor to the Board. Mr. Regans’ financial experience also includes specific experience focused on public companies and public company reporting. As such, Mr. Regan brings extensive forensic accounting experience and critical knowledge regarding SEC reporting to our Board of Directors. Mr. Regan also serves as an expert witness for the SEC with respect to accounting issues in actions brought by the SEC. This experience and knowledge combined with Mr. Regan’s extensive service as a Director with various other entities and in various managerial positions assists our Board in all financial and SEC reporting matters.

Timothy B. Nyman

Mr. Nyman has served as our director since December 29, 2006. Mr. Nyman has served as a consultant to GTECH Corporation since August 2006.

In 1979, Mr. Nyman went to work with the predecessor company of GTECH Corporation, which was the gaming division of Datatrol, Inc. In his twenty-seven years with GTECH and its predecessors, Mr. Nyman has held various positions in operations and marketing. He has directed a full range of corporate marketing activities and participated in the planning and installation of new online lottery systems domestically and internationally. Mr. Nyman received a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing, Accounting and Finance from Michigan State University.

The Board believes that Mr. Nyman’s extensive experience as Senior Vice President of Global Services and Vice President of Client Services at GTECH Corporation, an international leader in online gaming technology, is a valuable asset to the Board and the Company. From those positions at GTECH Corporation, Mr. Nyman gained a broad understanding of sales and distribution channels in the international arena. Mr. Nyman is a seasoned director as a result of his service on the boards of other public companies, and his experience and knowledge is an asset to our Board of Directors specifically with respect to sales, marketing and global operations matters.

PROPOSAL 2 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors retained Macias, Gini & O’Connell LLP (“Macias”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year 2009. The Board of Directors has appointed Macias to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. The Board of Directors is submitting the appointment of Macias as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2010 for stockholder ratification at the annual meeting.

A representative of Macias is expected to be present at the annual meeting. The Macias representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she wishes to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

Our Bylaws do not require that the shareholders ratify the appointment of Macias as our independent registered public accounting firm. We are seeking ratification because we believe it is a good corporate governance practice. If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Board will reconsider whether to retain Macias, but may retain Macias in any event. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Board, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

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 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.

Role of the Board; Corporate Governance Matters

Board Leadership Structure

The Board does not have a policy, one way or the other, with respect to whether the same person should serve as both the chief executive officer and chairman of the board or, if the roles are separate, whether the chairman should be selected from the non-employee directors or should be an employee. The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to make these determinations at any given point in time in the way that it believes best to provide appropriate leadership for the Company at that time.

The Board believes that its current leadership structure, with Mr. Kircher serving as both chief executive officer and board chairman, is appropriate given Mr. Kircher’s past experience serving in these roles, the efficiencies of having the chief executive officer also serve in the role of chairman and the Company’s strong corporate governance structure.

Pursuant to the Company’s governance guidelines, whenever the chairman is an employee of the Company, the Board elects a lead director from its independent directors. The lead director is currently Ronald Cohan. The chairman and chief executive officer consults periodically with the lead director on Board matters and on issues facing the Company. In addition, the lead director serves as the principal liaison between the chairman of the board and the independent directors and presides at an executive session of non-management directors held at each regularly scheduled board meeting.

Risk Oversight

In its oversight role, the Board of Directors annually reviews the Company’s strategic plan, which addresses, among other things, the risks and opportunities facing the Company. The Board also has overall responsibility for executive officer succession planning and reviews succession planning efforts each year. The Board oversees risk management as a whole but also delegates certain risk management oversight responsibility to the Board committees in certain instances. As part of its responsibilities as set forth in its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for discussing with management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control those exposures, including the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies. In this regard, the Company’s chief audit executive prepares annually a comprehensive risk assessment report and reviews that report with the Audit Committee each year. This report identifies the material business risks (including strategic, operational, financial reporting and compliance risks) for the Company as a whole and identifies the controls that respond to and mitigate those risks. The Company’s management regularly evaluates these controls, and the chief audit executive periodically reports to the Audit Committee regarding their design and effectiveness. The Audit Committee also receives annual reports from management on the Company’s ethics program and on environmental compliance. The Finance Committee regularly reviews with management the Company’s financial arrangements, capital structure and the Company’s ability to access the capital markets. The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and their implementation. Each committee regularly reports to the full Board.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors consists principally of independent directors, as determined by Rule 4200 of the National Association of Securities Dealers’ (NASD) listing standards. Further, the Board of Directors operates under a Board Governance Policy, which can be viewed at the Company website www.solarpowerinc.net. In addition, the Board of Directors has created the following committees, the members of which are independent. The Board of Directors met four times during our 2009 fiscal year, and each member of the Board attended all meetings.

Audit Committee & Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors makes recommendations regarding the retention of the independent registered public accounting firm, reviews the scope of the annual audit undertaken by our independent registered public accounting firm and the progress and results of their work, reviews our financial statements, and oversees the internal controls over financial reporting and corporate programs to ensure compliance with applicable laws. The Audit Committee reviews the services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm and determines whether they are compatible with maintaining the registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit Committee has a Charter, which is reviewed annually and as may be required due to changes in industry accounting practices or the promulgation of new rules or guidance documents. The Audit Committee Charter was filed as Appendix C to the fiscal 2006 proxy statement. The Audit Committee consists of three independent directors as determined by NASD listing standards. The Audit Committee met four times in fiscal year 2009, and all members of the Audit Committee attended all meetings held.

Audit Committee Financial Expert. The members of the Audit Committee were Mr. D. Paul Regan (Audit Committee Chairman), Mr. Ronald A. Cohan and Mr. Larry D. Kelley. Mr. D. Paul Regan is independent and qualified as an Audit Committee Financial Expert. As Mr. Kelley will not stand for reelection to the Board upon the meeting, the members of the Audit Committee will be Mr. D. Paul Regan (Audit Committee Chairman), Mr. Ronald A. Cohan and Mr. Francis W. Chen.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61. Management is responsible for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent auditors are responsible for expressing an

opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors, the auditors’ independence from the management of the Company and received written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.

After review and discussions mentioned above, the Board recommended that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reviews and approves executive compensation policies and practices, reviews salaries and bonuses for our officers, administers the Company’s stock option plans and other benefit plans, and considers other matters as may, from time to time, be referred to them by the Board of Directors. The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Ronald A. Cohan (Compensation Committee Chairman), Mr. Timothy B. Nyman and Mr. Larry D. Kelley. The Compensation Committee Charter was filed as Appendix D to the fiscal 2006 proxy statement. The Compensation Committee seeks input on certain compensation policies from the Chief Executive Officer, and reviews comparable compensation of similarly situated companies in related industries in determining compensation. The Compensation Committee has delegated authority to the executive team with respect to compensation awards pursuant to written plans and guidelines. These guidelines were approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee met one time during fiscal year 2009, and each member of the Compensation Committee attended the meeting.

Governance & Nominating Committee; Diversity

The Governance & Nominating Committee prepares governance guidelines and makes recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to modification of those policies, assessment of potential new board members backgrounds and qualifications, and annual review of existing members, review and assessment of any waivers under our Ethics Policy, and reviews and makes recommendations with respect to any shareholder proposals. The members of the Governance & Nominating Committee are Mr. Ronald A. Cohan and Mr. Timothy B. Nyman. The Governance and Nominating Committee Charter was filed as Appendix E to the fiscal 2006 proxy statement The Governance & Nominating Committee met one time during our fiscal year 2009, and all members of the committee attended the meeting held.

Our directors take a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and oversee the management of the Company. Board candidates are considered based upon various criteria, such as their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, their diversity of viewpoint and background, a global business and social perspective, concern for the long-term interests of the stockholders and personal integrity and judgment. In addition, directors must have time available to devote to Board activities and to enhance their knowledge of the growing industry. Accordingly, we seek to attract and retain highly qualified directors who have sufficient time to attend to their substantial duties and responsibilities to the Company.

Although we do not have a formal policy in place, we consider diversity, among other factors, to identify our nominees for the Board. We view diversity broadly to include diversity of experience, skills and viewpoint as well as more traditional diversity concepts. In sum, we strive to assemble a diverse Board that is strong in its collective knowledge and that also consists of individuals who bring a variety of complementary attributes and skills to the Board such that the Board, taken as a whole, has the necessary and appropriate skills and experience to provide an enriched environment. The needs of the Board and the

factors that the Governance and Nominating Committee considers in evaluating candidates are reassessed on an annual basis, when the committee’s charter is reviewed.

In carrying out its responsibilities, the Governance & Nominating Committee will consider candidates suggested by stockholders. If a stockholder wishes to formally place a candidate’s name in nomination, however, he or she must do so in accordance with the provisions of our Bylaws. According to our Bylaws, nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made by any stockholder of the Company, entitled to vote for the election of directors at a meeting, who complies with the following notice procedures. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the board of directors, shall be made by timely notice in writing to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered or mailed to and received at the registered office of the corporation not less than 30 days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, in the event that less than 40 days’ notice of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom such stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including each such person’s written consent to serve as a director if elected); and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and address of such stockholder as it appears on the corporation’s books, and (ii) the class and number of shares of the corporation’s capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder.

Proposals for candidates to be evaluated by the Board must be sent to the Corporate Secretary, 1115 Orlando Avenue, Roseville, CA 95661-5247.

Shareholders may send communications to the Board by mail to the Chairman of the Board, Solar Power, Inc., 1115 Orlando Avenue, Roseville, California 95661.

Section 16 Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “Commission”) initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership, of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company on Forms 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. We believe that all reports required by section 16(a) for transactions in the year ended December 31, 2009.

Director Independence

Larry Kelley, D. Paul Regan, Timothy Nyman, and Ronald Cohan are independent directors as defined by NASD standards.

Legal Proceedings

There are no material legal proceedings during the last 10 years to which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, or security holder is a party, is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us except as disclosed herein.

Relationship with Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
