Information Statement
Report of Change in Majority of Directors


December 4, 2006

Introduction

This Information Statement is being furnished by Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14f-1 thereunder, in connection with the contemplated merger of the Company with Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation and Welund Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (as more fully described below). As a result of this transaction, there will be a change in the Company's board of directors and executive officers.

The change of directors and executive officers is anticipated to occur on or after December 14, 2006, which is approximately ten days after the date on which this Information Statement is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to all the holders of record of the Company's common stock. This Information Statement is being mailed on or about December 4, 2006 to all holders of record on such date.

Voting Securities

There are currently 17,666,667 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding. The Company has no other securities outstanding.

Change in Control

On August 23, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation (“SPI”) and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Welund Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which it is contemplated that the Merger Sub will be merged with and into SPI with SPI surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of the Merger, each share of common stock of SPI will be cancelled and exchanged for one share of our common stock. Accordingly, it is contemplated that we will issue a total of 14,500,000 shares of our common stock to the existing shareholders of SPI as merger consideration, which will represent approximately 45% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a post Merger basis. In addition, after the Merger Stephen C. Kircher, our Chairman of Board of Director who is also the current Chairman of the Board of Director and Chief Executive Officer of SPI, will beneficially own 8,100,000 shares of our common stock which will be approximately 25% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock on a post Merger basis.


1


Consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things: (a) final audit of SPI and its subsidiaries, (b) the successful completion of a $10 million financing, (c) the change of the Company’s name to “Solar Power, Inc.,” (d) liquidation or sale of the Company’s current business, (e) reverse split of the Company’s common stock 1 for 3, (f) appointment and resignation of directors and officers, (g) approval of various legal matters, and (h) the absence of regulatory inquiries or investigations. As of December 1, 2006, the Company has completed (i) name change to Solar Power, Inc, (ii) a 1 for 3 reverse stock split, and (iii) a $16,000,000 financing.

One of the remaining conditions precedent to completing the Merger is the appointment of Mr. Kircher and Larry D. Kelley as members of the Board of Directors and the appointment of Mr. Kircher as the Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and President of the Company and Glenn E. Carnahan as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Kircher was appointed as the Chairman of our Board of Director in September 2006. It is also contemplated that in connection with the Merger, the number of directors will be increased to five (5) and Timothy B. Nyman, Ronald A. Cohan and D. Paul Regan will be appointed as directors of the Company to fill the vacancies resulting from the resignation of Terrell W. Smith, Steven P. Strasser and Howard S. Landa.

Another remaining condition precedent to completing the Merger is the completion of the final audit of the financial statements for SPI and its subsidiaries. Under the Merger Agreement, SPI is required to deliver all audited and unaudited financial statements as are necessary for the Company to meet its reporting obligations under the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As of December 1, 2006, SPI was in the process of completing its final audit. Further information pertaining to the Merger Agreement and related transactions with SPI can be found in our filings with the SEC, including Reports on Current Events filed on Forms 8-K dated August 29, 2006, September 7, 2006, September 25, 2006, October 6, 2006, October 16, 2006, and November 7, 2006; and the Form 10-QSB for the period ended September 30, 2006 filed with the SEC on November 20, 2006.

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of four members consisting of Mr. Landa, Mr. Kircher, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Strasser. Mr. Kircher was appointed as the Chairman of our Board of Directors in September 2006. It is anticipated that on or after ten (10) days after this Information Statement is mailed to the stockholders, Mr. Landa, Mr. Smith and Mr. Strasser will resign, Mr. Kircher will remain on the Board and Mr. Kelley, Mr. Cohan, Mr. Regan and Mr. Nyman will be appointed as our directors. After the Merger is completed our Board of Directors will consist of five directors: Mr. Kircher, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Nyman, Mr. Cohan and Mr. Regan.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee

Our Board of Directors has not established a separate audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Instead, our entire Board of Directors acts as the audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act. In addition, no director on our Board of Directors currently meets the definition of an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation SB. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter or a similar document. Due to our small size and limited resources, in the past it has been difficult to recruit outside directors and financial experts, especially due to the fact that we do not have directors and officer’s liability insurance to offer suitable candidates.

Compensation Committee

Our Board of Directors has not established a separate compensation committee nor any other committee that acts as such a committee. Instead, the entire Board of Directors reviews and approves executive compensation policies and practices, reviews, salaries and bonuses for our officers, administers the Company's benefit plans, and considers other matters as may, from time to time, be referred to it.

Nominations to the Board of Directors

Our directors take a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and overseeing the management of the Company. Board of Directors candidates are considered based upon various criteria, such as their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, 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 in the growing business. 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.

The Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee. The Board of Directors believes given the diverse skills and experience required to grow the Company that the input of all members is important for considering the qualifications of individuals to serve as directors. The Board of Directors recommends a slate of directors for election at the annual meeting, when held.

In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board of Directors 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 the Company’s Bylaws. Suggestions for candidates to be evaluated by the Board of Directors must be sent to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, 136 East South Temple, Suite 2112, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111.
