The Company’s dealer network of solar energy installers has access to BP Solar (NYSE:BP) and GE Solar (NYSE:GE) equipment via its distribution agreements. While Solar Energy Initiatives is not a solar franchise, and the Company does not compete directly with industry giants such as First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR), Kyocera (NYSE:KYO), Sanyo (OTC:SANYY) or Suntech (NYSE:STP), as a system integrator, it provides exciting and practical solutions to businesses and individuals worldwide that understand the value of solar power.
