About Andalay Solar: (OTCQB:WEST)
Founded in 2001, the Company is a designer and supplier of integrated solar power systems. In 2007, the Company pioneered the concept of integrating the racking, wiring and grounding directly into the DC solar panel. This revolutionary solar panel, branded "Andalay", quickly won industry acclaim. In 2009, the Company again broke new ground with the first integrated AC solar panel, reducing the number of components for a rooftop solar installation by approximately 80 percent and lowering labor costs by approximately 50 percent. This AC panel, which won the 2009 Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award, has become the industry's most widely installed AC solar panel. A new generation of products named "Instant Connect®" was introduced in 2012. In 2014, the Company brought back the fully integrated DC solar panels. Unlike ordinary DC solar panels, the "Instant Connect®" DC panels comes with built-in wiring which means no dangling wires to damage over time.  Award-winning Andalay Solar DC or AC Powered Systems provide the best combination of safety, performance and reliability.
