We at Maki Solar Tech are happy to announce the establishment of the Ilos Corporation, our exclusive sales arm in the US . Ilos has the special goal of marketing 4 types of Meteor brand products: Two types of Solar-powered Ground Lights—SH-220, SH-230; and two types of Solar-powered Paver Light —SH-130, SH-170. |

Maki Solar, with the assistance of Ilos, is hoping to take advantage of new opportunities in the awakening green building material market. We will be able to offer American consumers and construction companies an even wider range of high-quality construction products. |

Why do we at Maki Solar feel confident that this is the right time to enter the American market? The overwhelming positive customer response received during 6 months of market research has led us to this conclusion. We have great confidence that the present awareness of environmental protection has opened a door to the green building materials we are so proud of making available. |

In October 2007 Maki Solar joined the Manufacturers Agents National Association also known as MANA.
MANA is an association of interdependent manufacturers and representatives dedicated to educating, protecting and promoting multi-line, outsourced sales. They share the belief that agents and principals accomplish the most when they work in harmony. MANA functions as a horizontal organization for both reps and principals.

In 2007 Maki Solar passed the application review for SBIR and has received the grant |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
SBIR is a Taiwan government promotional program offered by the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) to encourage Taiwan technology companies to pursue technological innovation and advanced research in some prospective industries.
Maki Solar is the first solar application product company to receive funding from SBIR. For this project, our research team is working in cooperation with National Central University (NCU), a top academic institution specializing in LED technology. This research is focused on the development of high efficiency solar-powered LED warning lights. This one product alone has required us to utilize a variety of technologies, such as LED optical reflectance, LED thermal modules and solar power concentration. The results is that, compared with the existing products, our warning lights offer an increase in LED luminosity of 10%, and a 50% reduction in recharging time. This helps to provide a safer environment and better answers the demand for greater security. |

In December 2006 Maki Solar held a solar competition |
|
| |
|
|
| |
As a pioneering company in the area of solar-powered application products, Maki Solar is committed to popularizing and developing solar-powered application products. We anticipate that through this activity that first of all more people will be encouraged to use solar-powered devices in their lives and second that Maki Solar can gather more ideas about the future development of solar-powered products.
We held a solar competition to encourage college and university students in Taiwan to brainstorm for new solar product designs that can be developed in the near future. Five hundred and fifty-five teams from seventy-five college and universities in Taiwan participated in this competition. Students from all over the country displayed their ideas for “new solar application products”. Three of these ideas were selected as the best and having the most potential for the future.
This competition was meant to create an opportunity for young people to exercise their creativity and reduce the gap between private enterprise and society. It is hoped that through this activity Maki Solar can move closer to future potential customers and gather new opinions for marketing future solar products.
