(1) Before exercise of the over-allotment option of 675,000 Shares of Common Stock
Deson & Co., Inc. (“Deson”) has been retained by Solar & Wind North America, Inc. (the
“Company, “S&W”, “We”, or “Our”) to serve as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with raising
$22,500,000 of Common Stock for the first stage development of the Company. The Company has an
initial option to purchase 6,569 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona master planned “renewable
energy”, and an additional 2,148 acres of land in Mohave County, on which the Company will submit
applications for “renewable energy” development (the initial options and additional options as described
below under, “The Options”). In addition, the Company will purchase 320 acres that is the likely location
of a future electricity substation. In total, this strategic acreage is ideally suited for solar energy
development, and in certain areas, particularly well suited for wind energy development, which when
fully developed will comprise one of the largest solar and wind energy production facilities in the world.
All dollar amounts in this prospectus are US$.
We are offering up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $5.00
per Common Share. Payment for the Common Shares will be made and accepted in cash. The gross
proceeds of this offering are anticipated to be $22,500,000. This offering will terminate on the earlier of

offered herein. In addition, the Company has allocated an additional 15% of the Common Shares offered
hereby or an additional 675,000 Common Shares pursuant to an over-allotment option to be offered
through Deson in the event of additional investor demand. There is currently no public market for the
Common Shares of the Company.
The proceeds from this offering will be used to sufficiently capitalize the Company, including the
fee to purchase the initial options held by the Company entitling it to acreage currently master planned and
to be master planned for renewable energy and the direct purchase of the acreage that is likely to be the
future location of a future electricity substation, as set forth below under “Our Strategic Acreage” (and
currently owned by Solar Arizona, LLC, Arizona Acreage, LLC, Pierce Ferry, LLC, and Red Lake
Investments, LLC, all affiliated entities, and together, the “Affiliates”). The balance of the proceeds will
be used to pay any fees and expenses associated with the Offering and provide working capital for the
Company.
All amounts received from the Offering shall be held in escrow until achieving the Minimum
offering amount of 2,250,000 Shares of Common Stock – upon achieving the Minimum offering
amount, the proceeds from this offering will be immediately available for use by the Company. Sales
of the Common Stock offered hereby shall be made by Deson, a registered broker/dealer, which shall
receive a placement fee of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering of five percent (5.0%). Up to 40%
(2.0% in total) of this amount may be allocated to third party broker/dealers and finders as selling
concessions.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Our Company
Solar & Wind North America, Inc. (the “Company”, “S&W”, “Our”, or “We”), a development
stage company, was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 11, 2008. Our principal
executive offices are located at 9510 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89117; our telephone number
is (702) 385-2250.
Upon completion of this offering, S&W will expend $6,505,610 as the initial option fee to
purchase the exclusive option entitling us to purchase of 6,569 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona,
which is master planned “renewable energy” and an additional 2,148 acres of land in Mohave County,
Arizona, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development, and
$3,200,000 for the direct purchase of 320 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona that is the likely
location of a future electricity substation (currently such strategic acreage is owned by Solar Arizona,
LLC, Arizona Acreage, LLC, Pierce Ferry, LLC, Red Lake Investments, LLC, all affiliated entities, and
together, the “Affiliates”). We believe that the growth in demand for alternative and renewable energy,
coupled with a proliferation of renewable energy technologies, will allow us to build, lease or joint
venture, in conjunction with our selected partners, one of the largest sources of renewable energy in the
world. We expect that our principle sources of renewable energy will be based upon various solar and
wind technologies. We believe that our location is ideally suited for both solar energy production, and in
certain areas, particularly well suited for wind energy production (see “Our Strategic Acreage” below).

RISK FACTORS
Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors
should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information
contained in this prospectus, before they decide whether to buy any shares. If any of the following risks
occur, the business, and the results of operations and financial condition, would likely suffer.
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and
uncertainties, including those not presently known to us or that we presently deem immaterial, may also
result in decreased revenues, increased expenses, or other events that could result in material adverse
effects in the business of the Company.
• We expect to incur losses and accumulate deficits.
We have not incurred losses to date. However, we were incorporated in July 11, 2008 and we do
expect to incur losses and accumulate deficits. At August 10, 2008, we had working capital of
$3,600.00. Such factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Although management has developed plans, which it believes will permit us to continue as a
going concern, there is no assurance that these plans will be successful or that we will succeed in
our business.
• We are a new enterprise still in development stage and are subject to all of the risks of a new
business.
As a newly formed enterprise, we are subject to all of the risks inherent in a new business
enterprise, including the absence of a profitable operating history, shortage of cash,
undercapitalization, and expense of marketing and creating a business infrastructure. Various
problems, expenses, complications and delays may be encountered in connection with the
development of our business. Future growth will require significant expenditures for the fee to
acquire the option to purchase approximately 6,569 acres master planned “renewable energy” and
an additional 2,148 acres of land, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable
energy” development (the initial options and the extensions of such options as described below
under, “The Options”), and the purchase of 320 acres that is the likely location of a future
electricity substation (see “Our Strategic Acreage” below) (all of the Strategic Acreage owned by
the Affiliates), developing strategic partnerships, and general business operations. These expenses
must either be paid out of the proceeds of this or future offerings or out of operating revenue.
The availability of funds from either of these sources cannot be assured.
• As a new enterprise, our operating and financial results are unpredictable.
Our periodic operating results may significantly fluctuate from time to time due to sales cycles
or decreased demand from customers or reliance on and a decrease in demand from those
limited number of customers that we expect will generate most of our sales. Investors should not
rely on financial results for any fiscal period as an accurate basis for predicting or an indication of
future financial results. Our future revenues and results of operations may significantly fluctuate
due to a combination of factors, many of which are outside of management's control. Our
operating results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of future operating
results. Prospective investors should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of results of
operations as an indication of future consolidated or segment performance. It is possible that
results of operations may be below the expectations of investors.

(15)
The most important of these factors include:
• customer/partner acceptance of the acreage (as set for the below under “Our Strategic
Acreage”) for solar energy generation;
• drop in consumer demand for energy and, in particular, renewable energy;
• increased competition, especially from competitors with substantially greater
resources than us;
• political or economic changes, particularly a reduction in US Government or State
renewable energy incentives;
• ability to obtain contracts on favorable terms from our customers/partners;
• general economic conditions;
• impact of wars and terrorism on our business;
• impact of natural disasters;
• changes in weather patterns or air quality;
• the timing and effectiveness of customer/partner selection, build-out strategies,
and technologies utilized;
• the availability of funding or financing in a timely manner and on affordable terms;
and
• the timing and effectiveness of capital expenditures.
• The proceeds of this offering will fund operations for only a limited period and we may need to
seek additional funding in the future.
We have an immediate need for the proceeds of this offering in order to pay the fee for the initial
option, to purchase the acreage (such purchases subject to the initial option, the extensions of
such options, as set forth under “The Options” below), in addition to the immediate purchase of
the acreage that is the likely location of a future electricity substation on which the solar and wind
power generation facilities will be developed (see “Our Strategic Acreage” below), and for
general corporate purposes. Our ability to continue business operations and effectively
implement our plans depends upon our ability to raise the funds from this offering. If we are
unable to do so, we will need to seek additional funding from other sources. There is no
assurance that additional funding, if required, will be obtainable on terms favorable or acceptable
to us. Management believes the net proceeds of this offering, combined with any cash on hand
and projected cash generated from future operations, will provide us with the financing required
to conduct business at least for the next year, assuming all offered shares are sold.
• Our industry may be subject to significant changes in the future which could affect our current
business model.
The industry in which we compete is subject to the risk of adverse changes in general economic
conditions; adverse changes in local markets; changing technologies; and evolving and changing
consumer preferences.
• We currently have debt underlying certain of the acreage subject to our options. Such debt may
impede our ability to purchase the acreage subject to our options.
Currently there is approximately $6.1 million of debt underlying the strategic acreage subject to
our options. Such debt has varying terms and maturity dates. We anticipate refinancing this debt
as it matures with the existing lender or a replacement lender.

• We are requiring a minimum of 2,250,000 shares to be sold in this offering. Until reaching such
minimum amount of shares sold, the Company will escrow all proceeds from such shares sold.
Upon the sale of such minimum amount, the proceeds from this offering will be immediately
available to us. In the event that the minimum amount of shares is not sold, all subscribers will
be entitled to a refund of their subscription amounts.
No one has agreed to purchase any of the shares. Deson, our officers, our principal stockholders,
and certain broker/dealers and finders will use their best efforts to sell the shares. We are
required to sell a minimum of 2,250,000 shares in this offering; all proceeds received from shares
up to the minimum amount will be placed in escrow. Upon achieving the minimum amount of
shares sold in this offering, all funds will be immediately available for our use. If we do not
achieve the minimum amount of shares to be sold in this offering, all subscription amounts will
be entitled to a refund of their subscription amounts.
• The offering price of the shares was determined by management in conjunction with Deson.
The offering price of the shares was determined by us in conjunction with Deson. This price is set
at a level substantially in excess of prices recently paid for securities of the same class. The price
bears no relationship to our assets, book value, net worth or other economic or recognized criteria
of value. In no event should the offering price be regarded as an indicator of any future market
price of our securities. We have included various recent comparable renewable energy land sales
(see “Comparable Energy Land Sales” below). Such comparable sales are for informational
purposes only and should not be relied upon or used to value the securities offered hereby or the
strategic acreage underlying our initial option and additional options.
• Absence of public market for shares.
There is no public market for the shares and no assurance that one will develop. No assurance can
be given that if a market for these shares develops, it will continue. If an active public market
does not develop or is not maintained, the market price and liquidity of the shares may be
adversely affected. Consequently, if you choose to purchase shares as a result of this offering, you
may not be able to resell your shares in the event of an emergency or for any other reason. Also,
the shares may not be readily accepted as collateral for a loan. Accordingly, you should consider
the purchase of shares only as a long-term investment.
• The amount of capital currently available to us is currently limited and may not enable us to
develop and expand our business and generate a profit.
Our existing working capital is not sufficient to allow us to fully execute our business plan. We
are dependent upon receipt of the proceeds of this offering to provide the capital necessary to
develop and expand our proposed business. If proceeds from this offering and our existing
capital are not sufficient to enable us to develop and expand our business and generate a profit,
we may need additional financing. We have no commitments or arrangements for financing from
commercial lenders or other sources.

• Investors in this offering will own less than 35% of the shares outstanding and will have no
ability to remove, control or direct management.
Our stock ownership is concentrated in a small number of current stockholders. Present
shareholders will still own a majority of the outstanding securities upon completion of this
offering. Additionally, a few control and management members of the founding group own
approximately 92.8% of our outstanding Common Stock (prior to this offering). These members
control the management and affairs and have voting power sufficient to determine any matters
requiring shareholder approval, including:
• election of our board of directors;
• removal of any of our directors;
• amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws;
• adoption of anti-takeover measures; and
• any significant corporate transactions.
• There is no assurance that the existing acreage either underlying our options or to be purchased,
or that future acreage to be contributed to the Company will receive either additional master
planning for “renewable energy” or that such acreage, will receive zoning approval to pursue
“renewable energy” projects.
Although we have received master plan approval for renewable energy for certain of the strategic
acreage underlying our options, there is no assurance that the strategic acreage we are purchasing,
the strategic acreage underlying our options, or that future acreage to be contributed to the
Company will receive either additional master planning for “renewable energy” or that such
acreage, whether approved for master planning or not, will receive zoning approval to pursue
“renewable energy” projects. Additionally, should we receive such zoning, there is no assurance
that we will ultimately receive interconnect agreements or power purchase agreements – such
agreements are critical to our performance and the lack thereof would have a material adverse
effect on us.
• Our Current Management has Limited Experience in Renewable Energy – We Plan to Hire New
Management, Including a New CEO and CFO with Substantial Experience in Renewable Energy.
Our current management, including our Interim CEO and Interim CFO, has limited experience in
the renewable energy field. Although we expect to replace our current Interim CEO and Interim
CFO with a new CEO and CFO, or consultants to act in such capacity that have substantial
experience in the renewable energy industry, post-offering, there can be no assurance that we will
be able to identify competent people for such positions, and even if identified, that we will be
able to hire such people, or that we will be able to hire such people on terms that are favorable to
the Company.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of our shares in this offering was determined in conjunction with Deson, a
registered broker/dealer. In arriving at that price, Deson and our board of directors took into account such
factors as our lack of significant history and operations, our assets, plan of operation, and anticipated
costs of our continued development and operation. However, the offering price of the shares should not
be understood as an indication of the value of the shares offered or an assurance that you will be able to
resell these shares for an amount equal to or more than the offering price. The offering price of the shares
bears no necessary relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, net worth, current market price or
other recognized criterion of value. Deson has not provided a Fairness Opinion or other opinion of value
with respect to the securities offered hereby.
In as much as we have retained Deson to assist in this offering, the offering price has not been
arrived at through a process of arms-length negotiation, as might happen in an underwritten offering.
Accordingly, new investors bear a disproportionate risk to that of existing shareholders attendant to the
fact that the offering price was arrived at arbitrarily, rather than by arms-length bargaining.
We have included various recent comparable renewable energy land sales (see “Comparable
Renewable Energy Land Sales” below). Such comparable sales are for informational purposes only and
should not be relied upon or used to value the securities offered hereby or the strategic acreage underlying
our initial option and additional options.

DILUTION
As of August 10, 2008, our net tangible book value was $3,600.00 or $0.0004 per share of
common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing a company's tangible net
worth (total assets, net of intangible assets, less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding common
shares. Assuming the sale of all of the shares in this offering (4,500,000 shares or 33.3% of the shares
issued post offering), our pro forma net tangible book value as of August 10, 2008, would have been
$21,253,600 or $1.5743 per share, without taking into account any change in our net tangible book value
after August 10, 2008, and after deducting estimated commissions of $1,125,000 and offering expenses of
$125,000. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value per share of $1.5739 to
existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $3.4257 per share to new investors. The following

BUSINESS
History
Solar & Wind North America, Inc. (the “Company”, “S&W”, “Our”, or “We”), a development
stage company, was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 11, 2008. Our principal
executive offices are located at 9510 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89117; our telephone number
is (702) 385-2250. In connection with its organization, the founders of S&W contributed $3,600 in cash
for initial capitalization in exchange for 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
The Business
Upon completion of this offering, S&W will expend $6,505,610 as the initial option fee to
purchase the exclusive option entitling us to purchase of 6,569 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona,
which is master planned “renewable energy”, and an additional 2,148 acres of land in Mohave County,
Arizona, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development, and
$3,200,000 for the direct purchase of 320 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona that is the likely
location of a future electricity substation (all acreage above currently owned by the Affiliates). We
believe that the growth in demand for alternative and renewable energy, coupled with a proliferation of
renewable energy technologies, will allow us to build, lease, or joint venture, in conjunction with our
selected partners, one of the largest sources of renewable energy in the world. We expect that our
principle sources of renewable energy will be based upon various solar and wind technologies. We
believe that this strategic acreage is ideally suited for solar energy development, and in certain areas,
particularly well suited for wind energy development (see “Our Strategic Acreage” below).
S&W’s business is to develop, sell, lease or joint venture, the 9,036 strategic acres underlying our
initial options and extensions on such options (see “The Options” below), and our direct purchase, in
conjunction with selected strategic partners and industry participants to create one of the largest
renewable energy sources in the world. We believe our strategy of working with multiple partners across
a wide spectrum of technologies allows us enhance energy production, gain economies of scale and
thereby increase the value of the underlying strategic acreage. Further our willingness to work with
multiple partners including contractors, energy companies, technology developers and utilities, reduces
our risk of dependence on any one company or technology.
Our Strategic Acreage
Upon exercise of the initial option (see “The Options” below), we will have the right to purchase,
for an initial prices set forth below, up to 8,716 strategic acres of land (owned by the Affiliates) that is
currently master planned or on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy”
development. In addition, we will directly purchase 320 strategic acres of land that is the likely location
of a future electricity substation. The strategic acreage is located in what is considered to be one of the
most favorable areas for solar energy production, and in certain areas, wind energy production. This
location in Mohave County, Arizona, currently enjoys approximately three hundred days of sunlight per
year, and, in various zones located in more mountainous terrain, has excellent wind dynamics. We believe
that this strategic acreage allows us, along with our selected partners, to develop one of the largest solar
and wind energy production developments in the world.
The Company’s purchase of the 320 acres is intended to position us with the most desirable land
that could be utilized for the development of a future electricity substation. We believe this acreage,
located on the existing 500kV power transmission corridor, and the planned 3,500 foot wide multi-modal
power corridor (see below), assures us and our partners of access to the high density and high growth
markets of Phoenix, Las Vegas and Southern California. As such, we have agreed to purchase this 320
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________Deson&Co.
(22)
acre parcel for $10,000 per acre or a total of $3,200,000. Set forth below is the information related to this
strategic acreage:
LAND TO BE PURCHASED – LIKELY SUBSTATION LOCATION:
OWNER APN TOWNSHIP RANGE SECTION ACRES
RED LAKE INVESTMENTS, LLC 329-01-014 27N 18W 25 S ½ 320.00
Furthermore, the location of all of our strategic acreage affords us unparalleled access into two
major power corridors, which provide transmission line access into three of the largest markets for
electrical energy in the southwest – Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Southern California. In addition, there are
3-phase and 69kV lines available in and around the acreage subject to our options, which allows for
immediate power generation interconnection and transmission opportunities. A majority of the strategic
acreage already maintains general plan and area plan approvals for renewable energy development from
the Mohave County Board of Supervisors.
The northernmost major power corridor, which bisects the strategic acreage, includes one 345kV
transmission line and one 500kV transmission line. The 345kV line is known as the
“Mead/Peacock/Liberty” line and is currently owned by the US Government. The 500kV line is known
as the “Mead/Perkins/Westwing” line and is a joint venture between the Western Area Power
Administration (“WAPA”), Salt River Project, Arizona Public Services (“APS”), and Southern California
Area Power Administration. The southernmost major power corridor, which bisects the strategic acreage,
includes on 500kV transmission line. This 500kV line is known as the “APS Powerline” and is owned by
APS. Additionally, in 2005 the National Energy Commission of the US submitted a preliminary plan for
a multi-modal energy corridor that runs directly through the strategic acreage. This 3,500 foot wide
corridor is expected to carry all forms of energy in an effort by the US Government to facilitate the
transport of energy from sources of production to areas of use.
The strategic acreage was purchased from a private seller beginning in November, 2001. The
land was originally granted by the Federal Government to the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad in the late 1800s
as a way to aid the funding of the trans-national railroad system, which was considered imperative to the
build-out and development of the Western US. The traditional grant in the form of alternating and
contiguous sections of land was intended to provide a source of capital to the railroad.
Although our Company has options on the bulk of the strategic acreage that is privately owned
(and will have direct ownership of 320 strategic acres), the Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”)
administers acreage contiguous to the strategic acreage. Such BLM acreage is not privately owned, and
we have no pre-existing rights to such acreage. However, given that our strategic acreage is contiguous to
the non-private BLM acreage, we are best positioned to become the lessee of such BLM acreage. We
believe that this position allows us to effectively double our available strategic acreage at attractive lease
rates from the BLM over time.

Comparable Renewable Energy Land Sales
There have been a number of recent leases and land purchases of land with a renewable energy
intended use. Set forth below are various recent transactions, which we believe have comparable
attributes to the strategic acreage underlying our options:
Nevada Solar One – 400 acres were leased from the Boulder City, Nevada, in 2005, for a 40 year
term at $550,000 per year. Utilizing 6.0% capitalization rate on the lease payment results in a present
value of $9.2 million or approximately $23,000 per acre.
Abengoa Solar – 3,000 acres located at Gila Bend, Maricopa, Arizona, was purchased from the
Wolfswinkel’s (a private family), in 2008, for a price of $45.2 million. 1920 of such acres are expected to
be utilized for solar energy production, resulting in an approximate price paid of $22,000 per acre for
such solar acreage ($15,067 per acre inclusive of the land utilized for solar energy development).
The Options
The initial option and the extensions of such options allow us to pay the associated option fees,
which in turn grant us the right to purchase the underlying 6,569 acres master planned for “renewable
energy” and an additional 2,148, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy”
development (owned by the Affiliates) (see “Our Strategic Acreage” above). Such options are designed
to provide us with the right to buy the underlying land over time at favorable prices. We believe that this
will allow us to minimize upfront costs, while preserving our ability to participate in what we believe will
become one of the largest renewable energy production developments in the world.
The underlying land is currently owned by founders and significant owners of the Company in
various affiliated entities referred to in this document as the Affiliates. The Affiliates will effectuate the
option agreements with the Company and sell land to the Company pursuant to the option agreements.
The initial option fees and option extension fees, and underlying strategic acreage purchase prices
are categorized into Tier I and Tier II strategic acreage. Tier I strategic acreage is considered optimal for
renewable energy production, offering excellent renewable energy production capability, relatively flat
landscape, and excellent access to the power grid. Tier I strategic acreage subject to our options totals
2,148 acres.

The Industry
While a majority of the world’s current energy supply is generated from fossil fuels such as coal,
oil and natural gas, these traditional energy sources face a number of challenges including rising prices,
increasing demand from developing nations, infrastructure limitations, security concerns over dependence
on imports from a limited number of countries, some of which are unstable, and which have significant
fossil fuel supplies, and growing environmental concerns over the climate change risks associated with
emission from fossil-fueled power generation. As a result of these and other challenges facing traditional
energy sources, governments, businesses and consumers are increasingly supporting the development of
alternative energy sources and new technologies for electricity generation. Renewable energy sources
such as solar, biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric and wind power generation have emerged as potential
alternatives which address some of these concerns.
As opposed to fossil fuels which draw on finite resources that may eventually become too
expensive to retrieve, renewable energy sources are generally fully sustainable and recurring. Where they
are not currently economically competitive with fossil fuels, renewable energy sources continue to be
supported by various government policies and incentives. Participants in energy markets worldwide are
dedicating increasing resources to developing renewable alternatives to fossil fuel resources. Renewable
energy sources for electric power generation include hydroelectric, biomass, geothermal, wind and solar.
Solar — Solar power is a renewable fuel source that utilizes the sun’s energy to produce heat,
light and electricity. According to a Clean Edge report, the solar power market reached $15.6 billion in
2006 and is projected to grow to $69.3 billion by 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 16.1%
Solar electricity is generated using either photovoltaic (“PV”) or solar thermal technology to
extract energy from the sun. PV electricity generating systems directly convert the sun’s energy into
electricity, whereas solar thermal systems heat water or other fluids that are then used as sources of
energy. Solar systems are either grid-connected systems or off-grid systems. Grid-connected systems are
connected to the electricity transmission and distribution grid and feed solar electricity into the end-user’s
electrical system and/or the grid.
According to a Merrill Lynch Report dated January 8, 2008, given the rate at which
manufacturing capacity is being constructed, in order to keep a demand-supply balance, the solar industry
needs to grow annual installations from 3GW in 2007 to over 15GW in 2010.
Wind — Wind power technology harnesses the force of the wind passing through rotor blades
that turn an electric generator. Wind energy is clean, renewable, plentiful, and significantly reduces
greenhouse gas emissions when replacing fossil fuel sources. The market for wind energy is projected to
____________________________________________________________________________

(29)
grow from $17.9 billion in 2006 to $60.8 billion by 2016, representing a CAGR of 13.0%, according to
Clean Edge, and the American Wind Energy Association.
On February 2, 2007, the Global Wind Energy Council (“GWEC”) announced that the wind
energy markets around the world exceeded expectations in 2006. GWEC is the industry's global trade
organization, with a combined membership of over 1,500 organizations involved in hardware
manufacture, project development, power generation, finance and consultancy, as well as researchers,
academics and associations.
The GWEC report further states that in terms of economic value, the wind energy sector has now
become firmly installed as one of the important participants in the energy markets, with the total value of
new generating equipment installed in 2006 reaching $23 billion.
Competition
Both the traditional and the alternative energy industries are highly competitive. Numerous
entities in the U.S. and elsewhere compete with us to develop new and different alternative and/or
renewable energy. Competitors also include well established fossil fuel companies. We face, and expect
to continue to face, competition from these entities to the extent that they develop acreage and products
that could supplant our competitive position.
Sales and Marketing
We believe that a combination of direct solicitation of contractors, energy companies, technology
companies, and utilities by our existing and future employees, coupled with a significant public relations
initiative will facilitate the sale, lease, joint venture and utilization of the strategic acreage underlying our
options. We believe that as utilization of our strategic acreage increases, our selected partners will enjoy
increasing economies of scale, which should, in turn, further increase sales.
Governmental Regulation
We are subject to a variety of foreign, federal, state and local governmental regulations. At this
time, the strategic acreage is master planned. The master planned acreage must be presented for a
specific use by a specific party, in order to receive final zoning. We believe that such zoning will be
granted based upon our strategy of working with selected partners on renewable energy projects.
Additionally, we are not aware of any investigation, proceeding or action by foreign, federal or
state agencies involving the strategic acreage or operations. If we fail to comply with present or future
regulations, we could be subject to fines, suspension of production or a cessation of operations. Any
failure by us to adequately comply with existing and future regulations could subject us to financial
liabilities, operational interruptions and adverse publicity, any of which could materially and adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Rising energy costs, declining oil and gas reserves, and growing concerns about the
environmental and political impacts of the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, emissions from the
burning of fossil fuels and concomitant global climate change, has ignited global interest in renewable
energy alternatives. In recent years, a growing number of countries have established incentive programs
for the development of renewable energy sources, such as (i) net metering laws that allow on-grid end
users to earn credits for renewable energy generation, (ii) direct subsidies and grants to encourage the
production and use of renewable energy, (iii) low interest loans for financing renewable power systems
and tax incentives, (iv) government standards that mandate minimum usage levels of renewable energy
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________Deson&Co.
(30)
sources, and (v) feed-in tariffs, or fixed-sale prices, to guarantee minimum prices for utility purchases of
renewable electricity.
The U.S. federal government has implemented many initiatives to encourage production and use
of renewable energy sources including grants, tax credits, and renewable energy standards that require a
certain percentage of energy to be derived from renewable sources. In addition, the majority of states
now have one or more renewable energy incentive programs, including net metering, tax credits, loans
and grant programs, renewable portfolio standards that require a certain percentage of electricity be
generated from renewable sources, and programs to limit carbon dioxide and other emissions.
In particular, the requirement for electric utilities to utilize renewable energy continues to
escalate. Currently, our three targeted states for the electricity that would be produced by our partners
have the following renewable energy purchase mandates:
Arizona – 15% of a utilities energy purchases must be from renewable sources by 2025
Nevada – 20% of a utilities energy purchases must be from renewable sources by 2015
California – 33% of a utilities energy purchases must be from renewable sources by 2020
However, we cannot assure you that such government subsidies and/or economic incentives will
be available or will not be reduced or eliminated in the renewable energy industry. Any change in such
incentives could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Employees
As of August 10, 2008, we had five full time employees. Although such employees are currently
dedicated to the Company, such employees are being compensated by the Affiliates. In addition to shares
currently owned by such employees, we plan to hire additional personnel with expertise in solar and wind
energy generation. We plan to create an option pool for up to 10% of our shares outstanding to attract
and retain the highest quality employees.
Our current management, including our Interim CEO and Interim CFO, has limited experience in
the renewable energy field. Although we expect to replace our current Interim CEO and Interim CFO
with a new CEO and CFO post-offering, or utilize highly skilled consultants to act in the above
capacities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify competent people for such positions,
and even if identified, that we will be able to hire such people, or that we will be able to hire such people
on terms that are favorable to the Company.
Facilities
Our principal executive offices are located at 9510 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV
89117; our telephone number is (702) 385-2250. Currently these offices are shared with our founding
shareholders and members of Solar Arizona, LLC. We do not currently pay any lease or other amounts
for our office space and utilization, however, upon completion of this offering we expect to pay our pro
rata share of such office and other expenses. We expect to enter into a lease and other cost sharing
arrangements with the Affiliates.

(2) OFFERING MEMORANDUM Solar & Wind North America, Inc. A Nevada Corporation Minimum – 2,250,000 Shares of Common Stock Maximum – 4,500,000 Shares of Common Stock (1) $5.00 per Common Share Total Minimum of $11,250,000 Total Maximum of $22,500,000 (1) _________________________________________ (1) Before exercise of the over-allotment option of 675,000 Shares of Common Stock Deson & Co., Inc. (“Deson”) has been retained by Solar & Wind North America, Inc. (the “Company, “S&W”, “We”, or “Our”) to serve as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with raising $22,500,000 of Common Stock for the first stage development of the Company. The Company has an initial option to purchase 6,569 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona master planned “renewable energy”, and an additional 2,148 acres of land in Mohave County, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development (the initial options and additional options as described below under, “The Options”). In addition, the Company will purchase 320 acres that is the likely location of a future electricity substation. In total, this strategic acreage is ideally suited for solar energy development, and in certain areas, particularly well suited for wind energy development, which when fully developed will comprise one of the largest solar and wind energy production facilities in the world. All dollar amounts in this prospectus are US$. We are offering up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per Common Share. Payment for the Common Shares will be made and accepted in cash. The gross proceeds of this offering are anticipated to be $22,500,000. This offering will terminate on the earlier of September 17, 2008 (unless extended as herein provided), or upon the sale of all of the Common Shares offered herein. In addition, the Company has allocated an additional 15% of the Common Shares offered hereby or an additional 675,000 Common Shares pursuant to an over-allotment option to be offered through Deson in the event of additional investor demand. There is currently no public market for the Common Shares of the Company. The proceeds from this offering will be used to sufficiently capitalize the Company, including the fee to purchase the initial options held by the Company entitling it to acreage currently master planned and to be master planned for renewable energy and the direct purchase of the acreage that is likely to be the future location of a future electricity substation, as set forth below under “Our Strategic Acreage” (and currently owned by Solar Arizona, LLC, Arizona Acreage, LLC, Pierce Ferry, LLC, and Red Lake Investments, LLC, all affiliated entities, and together, the “Affiliates”). The balance of the proceeds will be used to pay any fees and expenses associated with the Offering and provide working capital for the Company. All amounts received from the Offering shall be held in escrow until achieving the Minimum offering amount of 2,250,000 Shares of Common Stock – upon achieving the Minimum offering amount, the proceeds from this offering will be immediately available for use by the Company. Sales of the Common Stock offered hereby shall be made by Deson, a registered broker/dealer, which shall receive a placement fee of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering of five percent (5.0%). Up to 40% (2.0% in total) of this amount may be allocated to third party broker/dealers and finders as selling concessions.

  • 13. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (13) PROSPECTUS SUMMARY Our Company Solar & Wind North America, Inc. (the “Company”, “S&W”, “Our”, or “We”), a development stage company, was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 11, 2008. Our principal executive offices are located at 9510 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89117; our telephone number is (702) 385-2250. Upon completion of this offering, S&W will expend $6,505,610 as the initial option fee to purchase the exclusive option entitling us to purchase of 6,569 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona, which is master planned “renewable energy” and an additional 2,148 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development, and $3,200,000 for the direct purchase of 320 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona that is the likely location of a future electricity substation (currently such strategic acreage is owned by Solar Arizona, LLC, Arizona Acreage, LLC, Pierce Ferry, LLC, Red Lake Investments, LLC, all affiliated entities, and together, the “Affiliates”). We believe that the growth in demand for alternative and renewable energy, coupled with a proliferation of renewable energy technologies, will allow us to build, lease or joint venture, in conjunction with our selected partners, one of the largest sources of renewable energy in the world. We expect that our principle sources of renewable energy will be based upon various solar and wind technologies. We believe that our location is ideally suited for both solar energy production, and in certain areas, particularly well suited for wind energy production (see “Our Strategic Acreage” below). The Offering Securities Offered: Minimum Offering 2,250,000 Common Shares (20.0% of the shares issued) Maximum Offering (1) 4,500,000 Common Shares (33.3% of the shares issued) Offering Price $5.00 per share Offering Period Through Sept.17, 2008 (unless otherwise extended) Shares Outstanding: Before Offering 9,000,000 Common Shares After Offering (1) 13,500,000 Common Shares Gross Proceeds (1) $22,500,000 Offering Expenses (1) $1,250,000 (including commissions, legal, accounting, and other expenses) Net Proceeds (1) $21,250,000 Use of Proceeds We intend to use the net proceeds for (i) the initial option fee to purchase the option allowing exclusive rights to purchase 6,569 acres master planned “renewable energy” and 2,148 acres on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development (owned by the Affiliates), (ii) the direct purchase of 320 acres that is the likely location of a future electricity substation (owned by the Affiliates), (iii) fees and expenses, and (iv) for working capital and other corporate purposes. Risk Factors We are a new business and are subject to all of the risks inherent in a new business operation and we are not profitable and will require the funds from this offering to continue our operations (see “Risk Factors”). (1) Assumes the sale of all shares offered hereby, but excluding the over-allotment option of 675,000 shares.
  • 14. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (14) RISK FACTORS Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before they decide whether to buy any shares. If any of the following risks occur, the business, and the results of operations and financial condition, would likely suffer. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those not presently known to us or that we presently deem immaterial, may also result in decreased revenues, increased expenses, or other events that could result in material adverse effects in the business of the Company. • We expect to incur losses and accumulate deficits. We have not incurred losses to date. However, we were incorporated in July 11, 2008 and we do expect to incur losses and accumulate deficits. At August 10, 2008, we had working capital of $3,600.00. Such factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Although management has developed plans, which it believes will permit us to continue as a going concern, there is no assurance that these plans will be successful or that we will succeed in our business. • We are a new enterprise still in development stage and are subject to all of the risks of a new business. As a newly formed enterprise, we are subject to all of the risks inherent in a new business enterprise, including the absence of a profitable operating history, shortage of cash, undercapitalization, and expense of marketing and creating a business infrastructure. Various problems, expenses, complications and delays may be encountered in connection with the development of our business. Future growth will require significant expenditures for the fee to acquire the option to purchase approximately 6,569 acres master planned “renewable energy” and an additional 2,148 acres of land, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development (the initial options and the extensions of such options as described below under, “The Options”), and the purchase of 320 acres that is the likely location of a future electricity substation (see “Our Strategic Acreage” below) (all of the Strategic Acreage owned by the Affiliates), developing strategic partnerships, and general business operations. These expenses must either be paid out of the proceeds of this or future offerings or out of operating revenue. The availability of funds from either of these sources cannot be assured. • As a new enterprise, our operating and financial results are unpredictable. Our periodic operating results may significantly fluctuate from time to time due to sales cycles or decreased demand from customers or reliance on and a decrease in demand from those limited number of customers that we expect will generate most of our sales. Investors should not rely on financial results for any fiscal period as an accurate basis for predicting or an indication of future financial results. Our future revenues and results of operations may significantly fluctuate due to a combination of factors, many of which are outside of management's control. Our operating results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of future operating results. Prospective investors should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of results of operations as an indication of future consolidated or segment performance. It is possible that results of operations may be below the expectations of investors.
  • 15. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (15) The most important of these factors include: • customer/partner acceptance of the acreage (as set for the below under “Our Strategic Acreage”) for solar energy generation; • drop in consumer demand for energy and, in particular, renewable energy; • increased competition, especially from competitors with substantially greater resources than us; • political or economic changes, particularly a reduction in US Government or State renewable energy incentives; • ability to obtain contracts on favorable terms from our customers/partners; • general economic conditions; • impact of wars and terrorism on our business; • impact of natural disasters; • changes in weather patterns or air quality; • the timing and effectiveness of customer/partner selection, build-out strategies, and technologies utilized; • the availability of funding or financing in a timely manner and on affordable terms; and • the timing and effectiveness of capital expenditures. • The proceeds of this offering will fund operations for only a limited period and we may need to seek additional funding in the future. We have an immediate need for the proceeds of this offering in order to pay the fee for the initial option, to purchase the acreage (such purchases subject to the initial option, the extensions of such options, as set forth under “The Options” below), in addition to the immediate purchase of the acreage that is the likely location of a future electricity substation on which the solar and wind power generation facilities will be developed (see “Our Strategic Acreage” below), and for general corporate purposes. Our ability to continue business operations and effectively implement our plans depends upon our ability to raise the funds from this offering. If we are unable to do so, we will need to seek additional funding from other sources. There is no assurance that additional funding, if required, will be obtainable on terms favorable or acceptable to us. Management believes the net proceeds of this offering, combined with any cash on hand and projected cash generated from future operations, will provide us with the financing required to conduct business at least for the next year, assuming all offered shares are sold. • Our industry may be subject to significant changes in the future which could affect our current business model. The industry in which we compete is subject to the risk of adverse changes in general economic conditions; adverse changes in local markets; changing technologies; and evolving and changing consumer preferences. • We currently have debt underlying certain of the acreage subject to our options. Such debt may impede our ability to purchase the acreage subject to our options. Currently there is approximately $6.1 million of debt underlying the strategic acreage subject to our options. Such debt has varying terms and maturity dates. We anticipate refinancing this debt as it matures with the existing lender or a replacement lender.
  • 16. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (16) • We are requiring a minimum of 2,250,000 shares to be sold in this offering. Until reaching such minimum amount of shares sold, the Company will escrow all proceeds from such shares sold. Upon the sale of such minimum amount, the proceeds from this offering will be immediately available to us. In the event that the minimum amount of shares is not sold, all subscribers will be entitled to a refund of their subscription amounts. No one has agreed to purchase any of the shares. Deson, our officers, our principal stockholders, and certain broker/dealers and finders will use their best efforts to sell the shares. We are required to sell a minimum of 2,250,000 shares in this offering; all proceeds received from shares up to the minimum amount will be placed in escrow. Upon achieving the minimum amount of shares sold in this offering, all funds will be immediately available for our use. If we do not achieve the minimum amount of shares to be sold in this offering, all subscription amounts will be entitled to a refund of their subscription amounts. • The offering price of the shares was determined by management in conjunction with Deson. The offering price of the shares was determined by us in conjunction with Deson. This price is set at a level substantially in excess of prices recently paid for securities of the same class. The price bears no relationship to our assets, book value, net worth or other economic or recognized criteria of value. In no event should the offering price be regarded as an indicator of any future market price of our securities. We have included various recent comparable renewable energy land sales (see “Comparable Energy Land Sales” below). Such comparable sales are for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon or used to value the securities offered hereby or the strategic acreage underlying our initial option and additional options. • Absence of public market for shares. There is no public market for the shares and no assurance that one will develop. No assurance can be given that if a market for these shares develops, it will continue. If an active public market does not develop or is not maintained, the market price and liquidity of the shares may be adversely affected. Consequently, if you choose to purchase shares as a result of this offering, you may not be able to resell your shares in the event of an emergency or for any other reason. Also, the shares may not be readily accepted as collateral for a loan. Accordingly, you should consider the purchase of shares only as a long-term investment. • The amount of capital currently available to us is currently limited and may not enable us to develop and expand our business and generate a profit. Our existing working capital is not sufficient to allow us to fully execute our business plan. We are dependent upon receipt of the proceeds of this offering to provide the capital necessary to develop and expand our proposed business. If proceeds from this offering and our existing capital are not sufficient to enable us to develop and expand our business and generate a profit, we may need additional financing. We have no commitments or arrangements for financing from commercial lenders or other sources.
  • 17. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (17) • Investors in this offering will own less than 35% of the shares outstanding and will have no ability to remove, control or direct management. Our stock ownership is concentrated in a small number of current stockholders. Present shareholders will still own a majority of the outstanding securities upon completion of this offering. Additionally, a few control and management members of the founding group own approximately 92.8% of our outstanding Common Stock (prior to this offering). These members control the management and affairs and have voting power sufficient to determine any matters requiring shareholder approval, including: • election of our board of directors; • removal of any of our directors; • amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; • adoption of anti-takeover measures; and • any significant corporate transactions. • There is no assurance that the existing acreage either underlying our options or to be purchased, or that future acreage to be contributed to the Company will receive either additional master planning for “renewable energy” or that such acreage, will receive zoning approval to pursue “renewable energy” projects. Although we have received master plan approval for renewable energy for certain of the strategic acreage underlying our options, there is no assurance that the strategic acreage we are purchasing, the strategic acreage underlying our options, or that future acreage to be contributed to the Company will receive either additional master planning for “renewable energy” or that such acreage, whether approved for master planning or not, will receive zoning approval to pursue “renewable energy” projects. Additionally, should we receive such zoning, there is no assurance that we will ultimately receive interconnect agreements or power purchase agreements – such agreements are critical to our performance and the lack thereof would have a material adverse effect on us. • Our Current Management has Limited Experience in Renewable Energy – We Plan to Hire New Management, Including a New CEO and CFO with Substantial Experience in Renewable Energy. Our current management, including our Interim CEO and Interim CFO, has limited experience in the renewable energy field. Although we expect to replace our current Interim CEO and Interim CFO with a new CEO and CFO, or consultants to act in such capacity that have substantial experience in the renewable energy industry, post-offering, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify competent people for such positions, and even if identified, that we will be able to hire such people, or that we will be able to hire such people on terms that are favorable to the Company.
  • 18. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (18) FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this prospectus. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. In this prospectus the words "anticipates", "believes", "plans", "expects", "future", "intends" and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks we face as described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.

We base these forward- looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them. Our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements, due to various factors. USE OF PROCEEDS We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $21,250,000 from our sale of the 4,500,000 shares offered by us. We expect to use $9,705,610 of such net proceeds as the initial option fee entitling to purchase 6,569 acres of land master planned “renewable energy”, and an additional 2,148 acres of land, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development, and the direct purchase of 320 acres that is the likely location of a future electricity substation (all such acreage located in Mohave County, Arizona and owned by the Affiliates) (see “Our Strategic Acreage” below), business development, salaries, and working capital.

Excludes any shares that might be offered pursuant to the over-allotment option (a maximum of 675,000 shares). PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION This offering is being conducted by us through Deson (a registered broker/dealer), our officers, and principal stockholders, at an offering price of $5.00 per share. We are offering a maximum of 4,500,000 shares of our common stock in this offering (excluding any of the 675,000 shares that might be offered pursuant to the over-allotment option); we must sell at least 2,250,000 shares of our common stock in this offering before the Company may use any proceeds of this offering. No broker or dealer is obligated to purchase any shares offered hereby. We will pay a commission to Deson of 5.0% ($0.25 per share based upon the offering price of $5.00 per share; Deson has allocated up to 40% of such amount ($0.10 per share) for sales made by third party broker/dealers and finders. No one, including Deson, our officers, directors, significant employees, and shareholders, has made any commitment, or expressed any intent, to purchase any or all of the shares offered hereby. Rather, Deson, our officers and principal stockholders will use their best efforts to find purchasers for the shares through September 17, 2008 (unless otherwise extended). We intend to limit sales of the shares to only accredited investors and no more 35 non-accredited investors who can demonstrate experience in investments such as the purchase of the Shares. The term
  • 19. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (19) “accredited investor” is defined in Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC and includes the following: (i) certain corporations, trusts or partnerships not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000; (ii) any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse, at the time of this purchase exceeds $1,000,000; (iii) any natural person who has an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the last two most recent years, or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years, and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year; and (iv) any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors. We do not intend to offer or sell the shares by general solicitation or any general advertisement. Proceeds from this offering will be placed in escrow until the minimum number of shares offered hereby of 2,250,000 is achieved. Upon achieving the minimum amount of shares sold of 2,250,000 in this offering, proceeds will be immediately available to us. If the minimum amount of shares offered hereby is not achieved, any subscriber will be entitled to a refund of his/her full subscription amount. We reserve the right to accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part. The following table sets forth the estimated expenses (other than commissions) of this offering: Legal fees $ 75,000 Accounting fees 25,000 Printing and miscellaneous expenses 25,000 TOTAL $ 125,000 We intend to timely issue certificates for the shares after acceptance of a subscription agreement and to forthwith mail such certificates directly to investors at their addresses as set forth in their subscription agreements. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE The offering price of our shares in this offering was determined in conjunction with Deson, a registered broker/dealer. In arriving at that price, Deson and our board of directors took into account such factors as our lack of significant history and operations, our assets, plan of operation, and anticipated costs of our continued development and operation. However, the offering price of the shares should not be understood as an indication of the value of the shares offered or an assurance that you will be able to resell these shares for an amount equal to or more than the offering price. The offering price of the shares bears no necessary relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, net worth, current market price or other recognized criterion of value. Deson has not provided a Fairness Opinion or other opinion of value with respect to the securities offered hereby. In as much as we have retained Deson to assist in this offering, the offering price has not been arrived at through a process of arms-length negotiation, as might happen in an underwritten offering. Accordingly, new investors bear a disproportionate risk to that of existing shareholders attendant to the fact that the offering price was arrived at arbitrarily, rather than by arms-length bargaining. We have included various recent comparable renewable energy land sales (see “Comparable Renewable Energy Land Sales” below). Such comparable sales are for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon or used to value the securities offered hereby or the strategic acreage underlying our initial option and additional options.
  • 20. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (20) DILUTION As of August 10, 2008, our net tangible book value was $3,600.00 or $0.0004 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing a company's tangible net worth (total assets, net of intangible assets, less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding common shares. Assuming the sale of all of the shares in this offering (4,500,000 shares or 33.3% of the shares issued post offering), our pro forma net tangible book value as of August 10, 2008, would have been $21,253,600 or $1.5743 per share, without taking into account any change in our net tangible book value after August 10, 2008, and after deducting estimated commissions of $1,125,000 and offering expenses of $125,000. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value per share of $1.5739 to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $3.4257 per share to new investors. The following r share dilution:table illustrates this pe Assumed offering price per share $5.0000 Net tangible book value per share as of August 10, 2008 $0.0004 Increase per share attributable to this offering $1.5739 Pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering $1.5743 Dilution to new investors $3.4257 MARKET F R STOCKO There is currently no public market for our stock and there can be no assurance that any public market will ever develop.

(21) BUSINESS History Solar & Wind North America, Inc. (the “Company”, “S&W”, “Our”, or “We”), a development stage company, was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 11, 2008. Our principal executive offices are located at 9510 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89117; our telephone number is (702) 385-2250. In connection with its organization, the founders of S&W contributed $3,600 in cash for initial capitalization in exchange for 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Business Upon completion of this offering, S&W will expend $6,505,610 as the initial option fee to purchase the exclusive option entitling us to purchase of 6,569 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona, which is master planned “renewable energy”, and an additional 2,148 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development, and $3,200,000 for the direct purchase of 320 acres of land in Mohave County, Arizona that is the likely location of a future electricity substation (all acreage above currently owned by the Affiliates). We believe that the growth in demand for alternative and renewable energy, coupled with a proliferation of renewable energy technologies, will allow us to build, lease, or joint venture, in conjunction with our selected partners, one of the largest sources of renewable energy in the world. We expect that our principle sources of renewable energy will be based upon various solar and wind technologies. We believe that this strategic acreage is ideally suited for solar energy development, and in certain areas, particularly well suited for wind energy development (see “Our Strategic Acreage” below). S&W’s business is to develop, sell, lease or joint venture, the 9,036 strategic acres underlying our initial options and extensions on such options (see “The Options” below), and our direct purchase, in conjunction with selected strategic partners and industry participants to create one of the largest renewable energy sources in the world. We believe our strategy of working with multiple partners across a wide spectrum of technologies allows us enhance energy production, gain economies of scale and thereby increase the value of the underlying strategic acreage. Further our willingness to work with multiple partners including contractors, energy companies, technology developers and utilities, reduces our risk of dependence on any one company or technology. Our Strategic Acreage Upon exercise of the initial option (see “The Options” below), we will have the right to purchase, for an initial prices set forth below, up to 8,716 strategic acres of land (owned by the Affiliates) that is currently master planned or on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development. In addition, we will directly purchase 320 strategic acres of land that is the likely location of a future electricity substation. The strategic acreage is located in what is considered to be one of the most favorable areas for solar energy production, and in certain areas, wind energy production. This location in Mohave County, Arizona, currently enjoys approximately three hundred days of sunlight per year, and, in various zones located in more mountainous terrain, has excellent wind dynamics. We believe that this strategic acreage allows us, along with our selected partners, to develop one of the largest solar and wind energy production developments in the world. The Company’s purchase of the 320 acres is intended to position us with the most desirable land that could be utilized for the development of a future electricity substation. We believe this acreage, located on the existing 500kV power transmission corridor, and the planned 3,500 foot wide multi-modal power corridor (see below), assures us and our partners of access to the high density and high growth markets of Phoenix, Las Vegas and Southern California. As such, we have agreed to purchase this 320
  • 22. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (22) acre parcel for $10,000 per acre or a total of $3,200,000. Set forth below is the information related to this strategic acreage: LAND TO BE PURCHASED – LIKELY SUBSTATION LOCATION: OWNER APN TOWNSHIP RANGE SECTION ACRES RED LAKE INVESTMENTS, LLC 329-01-014 27N 18W 25 S ½ 320.00 Furthermore, the location of all of our strategic acreage affords us unparalleled access into two major power corridors, which provide transmission line access into three of the largest markets for electrical energy in the southwest – Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Southern California. In addition, there are 3-phase and 69kV lines available in and around the acreage subject to our options, which allows for immediate power generation interconnection and transmission opportunities. A majority of the strategic acreage already maintains general plan and area plan approvals for renewable energy development from the Mohave County Board of Supervisors. The northernmost major power corridor, which bisects the strategic acreage, includes one 345kV transmission line and one 500kV transmission line. The 345kV line is known as the “Mead/Peacock/Liberty” line and is currently owned by the US Government. The 500kV line is known as the “Mead/Perkins/Westwing” line and is a joint venture between the Western Area Power Administration (“WAPA”), Salt River Project, Arizona Public Services (“APS”), and Southern California Area Power Administration. The southernmost major power corridor, which bisects the strategic acreage, includes on 500kV transmission line. This 500kV line is known as the “APS Powerline” and is owned by APS. Additionally, in 2005 the National Energy Commission of the US submitted a preliminary plan for a multi-modal energy corridor that runs directly through the strategic acreage. This 3,500 foot wide corridor is expected to carry all forms of energy in an effort by the US Government to facilitate the transport of energy from sources of production to areas of use. The strategic acreage was purchased from a private seller beginning in November, 2001. The land was originally granted by the Federal Government to the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad in the late 1800s as a way to aid the funding of the trans-national railroad system, which was considered imperative to the build-out and development of the Western US. The traditional grant in the form of alternating and contiguous sections of land was intended to provide a source of capital to the railroad. Although our Company has options on the bulk of the strategic acreage that is privately owned (and will have direct ownership of 320 strategic acres), the Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”) administers acreage contiguous to the strategic acreage. Such BLM acreage is not privately owned, and we have no pre-existing rights to such acreage. However, given that our strategic acreage is contiguous to the non-private BLM acreage, we are best positioned to become the lessee of such BLM acreage. We believe that this position allows us to effectively double our available strategic acreage at attractive lease rates from the BLM over time. remainder of page intentionally left blank

  • 25. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (25) Comparable Renewable Energy Land Sales There have been a number of recent leases and land purchases of land with a renewable energy intended use. Set forth below are various recent transactions, which we believe have comparable attributes to the strategic acreage underlying our options: Nevada Solar One – 400 acres were leased from the Boulder City, Nevada, in 2005, for a 40 year term at $550,000 per year. Utilizing 6.0% capitalization rate on the lease payment results in a present value of $9.2 million or approximately $23,000 per acre. Abengoa Solar – 3,000 acres located at Gila Bend, Maricopa, Arizona, was purchased from the Wolfswinkel’s (a private family), in 2008, for a price of $45.2 million. 1920 of such acres are expected to be utilized for solar energy production, resulting in an approximate price paid of $22,000 per acre for such solar acreage ($15,067 per acre inclusive of the land utilized for solar energy development). The Options The initial option and the extensions of such options allow us to pay the associated option fees, which in turn grant us the right to purchase the underlying 6,569 acres master planned for “renewable energy” and an additional 2,148, on which the Company will submit applications for “renewable energy” development (owned by the Affiliates) (see “Our Strategic Acreage” above). Such options are designed to provide us with the right to buy the underlying land over time at favorable prices. We believe that this will allow us to minimize upfront costs, while preserving our ability to participate in what we believe will become one of the largest renewable energy production developments in the world. The underlying land is currently owned by founders and significant owners of the Company in various affiliated entities referred to in this document as the Affiliates. The Affiliates will effectuate the option agreements with the Company and sell land to the Company pursuant to the option agreements. The initial option fees and option extension fees, and underlying strategic acreage purchase prices are categorized into Tier I and Tier II strategic acreage. Tier I strategic acreage is considered optimal for renewable energy production, offering excellent renewable energy production capability, relatively flat landscape, and excellent access to the power grid. Tier I strategic acreage subject to our options totals 2,148 acres.

The Industry While a majority of the world’s current energy supply is generated from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, these traditional energy sources face a number of challenges including rising prices, increasing demand from developing nations, infrastructure limitations, security concerns over dependence on imports from a limited number of countries, some of which are unstable, and which have significant fossil fuel supplies, and growing environmental concerns over the climate change risks associated with emission from fossil-fueled power generation. As a result of these and other challenges facing traditional energy sources, governments, businesses and consumers are increasingly supporting the development of alternative energy sources and new technologies for electricity generation. Renewable energy sources such as solar, biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric and wind power generation have emerged as potential alternatives which address some of these concerns. As opposed to fossil fuels which draw on finite resources that may eventually become too expensive to retrieve, renewable energy sources are generally fully sustainable and recurring. Where they are not currently economically competitive with fossil fuels, renewable energy sources continue to be supported by various government policies and incentives. Participants in energy markets worldwide are dedicating increasing resources to developing renewable alternatives to fossil fuel resources. Renewable energy sources for electric power generation include hydroelectric, biomass, geothermal, wind and solar. Solar — Solar power is a renewable fuel source that utilizes the sun’s energy to produce heat, light and electricity. According to a Clean Edge report, the solar power market reached $15.6 billion in 2006 and is projected to grow to $69.3 billion by 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1% Solar electricity is generated using either photovoltaic (“PV”) or solar thermal technology to extract energy from the sun. PV electricity generating systems directly convert the sun’s energy into electricity, whereas solar thermal systems heat water or other fluids that are then used as sources of energy. Solar systems are either grid-connected systems or off-grid systems. Grid-connected systems are connected to the electricity transmission and distribution grid and feed solar electricity into the end-user’s electrical system and/or the grid. According to a Merrill Lynch Report dated January 8, 2008, given the rate at which manufacturing capacity is being constructed, in order to keep a demand-supply balance, the solar industry needs to grow annual installations from 3GW in 2007 to over 15GW in 2010. Wind — Wind power technology harnesses the force of the wind passing through rotor blades that turn an electric generator. Wind energy is clean, renewable, plentiful, and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions when replacing fossil fuel sources. The market for wind energy is projected to
  • 29. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (29) grow from $17.9 billion in 2006 to $60.8 billion by 2016, representing a CAGR of 13.0%, according to Clean Edge, and the American Wind Energy Association. On February 2, 2007, the Global Wind Energy Council (“GWEC”) announced that the wind energy markets around the world exceeded expectations in 2006. GWEC is the industry's global trade organization, with a combined membership of over 1,500 organizations involved in hardware manufacture, project development, power generation, finance and consultancy, as well as researchers, academics and associations. The GWEC report further states that in terms of economic value, the wind energy sector has now become firmly installed as one of the important participants in the energy markets, with the total value of new generating equipment installed in 2006 reaching $23 billion. Competition Both the traditional and the alternative energy industries are highly competitive. Numerous entities in the U.S. and elsewhere compete with us to develop new and different alternative and/or renewable energy. Competitors also include well established fossil fuel companies. We face, and expect to continue to face, competition from these entities to the extent that they develop acreage and products that could supplant our competitive position. Sales and Marketing We believe that a combination of direct solicitation of contractors, energy companies, technology companies, and utilities by our existing and future employees, coupled with a significant public relations initiative will facilitate the sale, lease, joint venture and utilization of the strategic acreage underlying our options. We believe that as utilization of our strategic acreage increases, our selected partners will enjoy increasing economies of scale, which should, in turn, further increase sales. Governmental Regulation We are subject to a variety of foreign, federal, state and local governmental regulations. At this time, the strategic acreage is master planned. The master planned acreage must be presented for a specific use by a specific party, in order to receive final zoning. We believe that such zoning will be granted based upon our strategy of working with selected partners on renewable energy projects. Additionally, we are not aware of any investigation, proceeding or action by foreign, federal or state agencies involving the strategic acreage or operations. If we fail to comply with present or future regulations, we could be subject to fines, suspension of production or a cessation of operations. Any failure by us to adequately comply with existing and future regulations could subject us to financial liabilities, operational interruptions and adverse publicity, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Rising energy costs, declining oil and gas reserves, and growing concerns about the environmental and political impacts of the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and concomitant global climate change, has ignited global interest in renewable energy alternatives. In recent years, a growing number of countries have established incentive programs for the development of renewable energy sources, such as (i) net metering laws that allow on-grid end users to earn credits for renewable energy generation, (ii) direct subsidies and grants to encourage the production and use of renewable energy, (iii) low interest loans for financing renewable power systems and tax incentives, (iv) government standards that mandate minimum usage levels of renewable energy
  • 30. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________Deson&Co. (30) sources, and (v) feed-in tariffs, or fixed-sale prices, to guarantee minimum prices for utility purchases of renewable electricity. The U.S. federal government has implemented many initiatives to encourage production and use of renewable energy sources including grants, tax credits, and renewable energy standards that require a certain percentage of energy to be derived from renewable sources. In addition, the majority of states now have one or more renewable energy incentive programs, including net metering, tax credits, loans and grant programs, renewable portfolio standards that require a certain percentage of electricity be generated from renewable sources, and programs to limit carbon dioxide and other emissions. In particular, the requirement for electric utilities to utilize renewable energy continues to escalate. Currently, our three targeted states for the electricity that would be produced by our partners have the following renewable energy purchase mandates: Arizona – 15% of a utilities energy purchases must be from renewable sources by 2025 Nevada – 20% of a utilities energy purchases must be from renewable sources by 2015 California – 33% of a utilities energy purchases must be from renewable sources by 2020 However, we cannot assure you that such government subsidies and/or economic incentives will be available or will not be reduced or eliminated in the renewable energy industry. Any change in such incentives could have a material adverse effect on our business. Employees As of August 10, 2008, we had five full time employees. Although such employees are currently dedicated to the Company, such employees are being compensated by the Affiliates. In addition to shares currently owned by such employees, we plan to hire additional personnel with expertise in solar and wind energy generation. We plan to create an option pool for up to 10% of our shares outstanding to attract and retain the highest quality employees. Our current management, including our Interim CEO and Interim CFO, has limited experience in the renewable energy field. Although we expect to replace our current Interim CEO and Interim CFO with a new CEO and CFO post-offering, or utilize highly skilled consultants to act in the above capacities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify competent people for such positions, and even if identified, that we will be able to hire such people, or that we will be able to hire such people on terms that are favorable to the Company. Facilities Our principal executive offices are located at 9510 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89117; our telephone number is (702) 385-2250. Currently these offices are shared with our founding shareholders and members of Solar Arizona, LLC. We do not currently pay any lease or other amounts for our office space and utilization, however, upon completion of this offering we expect to pay our pro rata share of such office and other expenses. We expect to enter into a lease and other cost sharing arrangements with the Affiliates.
