Solar Energy Initiatives Announces Green Energy Alliance with RS&H and K Power Inc.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc. (OTCBB:SNRY), executing on a grass roots campaign, “RENEW THE NATION”, to help redeploy a portion of the U.S. work force and focus on reducing the world’s dependence on fossil fuels by selling solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) technologies, today announced that the Company is a founding member of the Green Energy Alliance, a strategic affiliation with RS&H, one of the nation’s leading facilities and infrastructure consulting/engineering firms, and K Power Inc., a provider of full service solar energy solutions to commercial and industrial users. The Green Energy Alliance will combine member areas of expertise providing turn-key solar solutions including project financing to commercial and solar park projects located in North America and the Caribbean.

RS&H and K Power are leaders in energy and power generation/construction and as a combined entity possess the ability to build commercial solar projects and solar parks that could extend to well over 100 megawatts. The newly formed relationship will provide Solar Energy Initiatives with both new business relationships and access to capital through affiliated relationships. The companies’ parallel operational focus and business strategies provide a platform for a long lasting and mutually successful relationship.

“This alliance provides Solar Energy Initiatives with the experienced and capable relationships needed to target larger sized commercial solar projects,” stated, David Fann, Chief Executive Officer, of Solar Energy Initiatives. “We believe that the Company now possesses all the necessary tools to target more large scale and higher margined projects much like the 18 megawatt solar park that we recently announced. It is important for our strategic business plan that we form strong partnerships with top notch power companies, funding partners and consulting firms so that we can continue the rapid market penetration we are experiencing. We look forward to signing new contracts that mirror and exceed our $80 million solar park in California.”

The main focus of RENEW THE NATION will be working with companies in the construction industry and related trades affected by the economic downturn to re-train and re-deploy their workforce, allowing this important national asset to meet the needs of the Solar Energy industry, the fastest growing industry in the world. We are executing on a three-pronged approach to achieve our plan. This includes: continuing development of one of the fastest growing dealer networks in the U.S. that sells and installs solar solutions to homeowners and commercial customers; placing solar systems on large commercial buildings and selling the energy output to the owner/occupant(s); and becoming a developer of solar parks bringing together landowners, utilities and our corporate resources to build large photovoltaic installations.

The Company’s dealer network of solar energy installers has access to Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE:STP), 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) or Sanyo (OTC:SANYY), as a system integrator, it provides exciting and practical solutions to businesses and individuals worldwide that understand the value of solar power.
