Internet Retailer's definitive ranking and analysis of America's 500 largest e-retailers is based on annual 2006 Internet sales, researched by Internet Retailer and confirmed by retailers. This report includes company financial, operational and performance data, as well as vendors in 16 key categories.

Sascha Deri, president and one of Alternative Energy Store’s founders, “We’re thrilled at being named a top e-retailer. It means that we have made our mark in the e-retail industry and we believe we are the first to do so in our rapidly growing industry of renewable energy. This recognition goes beyond sales for us, it is indicative that there is a greater awareness about renewable energy and more people are opting to use renewable energy such as solar, wind, or hydro power.”
