On December 17, 1997, then effecting a plan of reorganization and merger of Salvage World, Inc., into Solar  Energy Limited, a private Delaware corporation, changing the company name and moving its headquarters from Nevada to Delaware, while also acquiring Hydro-Air Technologies, Inc., initially as a wholly owned subsidiary. On August 10, 2005, the Company acquired Planktos, Inc. from Russ George. On August 18, 2005, the Company also acquired D2Fusion, Inc. from Russ George; each operated as a wholly owned subsidiary. In 2007, Skalbania was CEO of Regal RV Resorts, Inc., a major shareholder in Planktos, Inc. and D2Fusion, Inc., subsidiaries focused on renewable energy sources, including cold fusion, with a facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico. In 1995, Skalbania was arrested, acquitted, then, in 1997, convicted on appeal of appropriating $100,000 from a prospective real estate partner, Richmond, B.C. businessman Gordon Gooch, for having assigned the investment to his then-overdrawn company account, rather than having placed it into a Prime Realty Ltd. trust, as prescribed. Funds were also deposited into N. M. Skalbania Ltd. Nelson returned Gooch's money three months later, with $4,000 in interest. The intervention of prominent friends who testified on his behalf enabled Skalbania to avoid a jail term and, instead, spend nearly a year on parole wearing an ankle monitor, which was removed in December 1999. Skalbania has married twice, first, to Audrey Anna Lynn Leschynsky (1938-2018), with whom he had two daughters, Rozanda Lyn and Taryn Gae Taylor, and, later, to Eleni (1943 - 2013), a native of Santorini, Greece, who later founded Vancouver's Wedgewood Hotel & Spa.
