ITEM 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

         Akeena Solar, Inc., a Delaware corporation, hereby amends the
disclosure contained under Item 4.01 in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on August 14,
2006 (the "Initial Report"), as amended by its Current Report on Form 8-K/A
filed with the Commission on August 28, 2006 and Current Report on Form 8-K/A
filed with the Commission on September 6, 2006 (the "Amended Report"), as
follows:

         Our dismissal of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte ("Dale Matheson") as
our independent registered accounting firm, and our retention of Marcum &
Kliegman, LLP as our new independent registered accounting firm, was approved by
our board of directors on August 11, 2006. The effective date of our dismissal
of Dale Matheson and our retention of Marcum & Kliegman, LLP was reported to be
August 11, 2006 in our Initial Report. In the Amended Report, we stated that we
anticipated the dismissal to become effective as of the close of business on
September 14, 2006 or on such other date on which our quarterly report on Form
10-QSB for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 was filed with the Commission. We
filed such quarterly report on September 18, 2006 and thus the dismissal of Dale
Matheson and the retention of Marcum & Kliegman, LLP became effective at the
close of business on September 18, 2006.

         The report of Dale Matheson on our financial statements for the period
from July 29, 2005 (inception) through our fiscal year ended December 31, 2005
did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles,
except that the report was qualified as to our ability to continue as a going
concern.

         From July 29, 2005 (inception) through September 18, 2006, there were
no disagreements with Dale Matheson on any matter of accounting principals or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of Dale Matheson, would have caused Dale
Matheson to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with its reports.

         From July 29, 2005 (inception) through September 18, 2006, we did not
consult Marcum & Kliegman, LLP regarding either: (i) the application of
accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or
(ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.

         We have furnished Dale Matheson with the disclosures contained in this
Item 4.01 and requested that Dale Matheson furnish us with a letter addressed to
the Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made in this
Item 4.01. A copy of Dale Matheson's letter dated October 16, 2006 is included
as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

6, 2006.



1.   YOUR AMENDMENT FILED ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 STATED THAT YOUR FORMER AUDITORS
