850 Homes Expected to be Powered by this Community Solar Project

TORONTO, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - SolarBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) ("SolarBank" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an update on the development of a 7.2 MW DC ground-mount solar power project known as the North Main project (the "Project") on a site located in Wyoming County, New York. The Project has completed its Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review (CESIR), and now can proceed to the next important milestone, permitting the Project site.

Following receipt of the necessary permits and financing, the Company intends to commence construction of the Project, which upon completion, will be operated as a community solar project. The Project is expected to be eligible for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ("NYSERDA") NY-Sun Program.

The clean energy generated by community solar projects feeds directly into the local electricity grid, and depending on the size and number of panels in the community solar project, renters and homeowners can earn credits on their electric bill and save money from the electricity that is generated by a project. By subscribing to a project, community members can access the benefits of renewable energy without having to install panels on their home and access power at a discount to prevailing utility rates. SolarBank's strategic focus on community solar aligns with its goal of powering thousands of homes with clean and affordable energy.

Solar Simplified handles all customer-facing activities for the Company's community solar projects, allowing it to focus on developing and expanding its renewable energy portfolio. Solar Simplified's expertise in acquisition, enrollment, and management ensures full project subscription and maximized revenue from day one. With a business model that aligns seamlessly with the Company's, this partnership drives sustainable growth, enabling the Company to accelerate development, bring more projects online each year, and create greater value for its business and the communities served by the Company.

There are several risks associated with the development of the Project. The development of any project is subject to receipt of a community solar contract, required permits, the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company and the risks associated with the construction of a solar power project. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar power, which could result in future projects no longer being economic. Please refer to "Forward-Looking Statements" for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the Project and statements made in this press release.
