SolarBank Corporation is pleased to announce an update on the development of a 2.9 MW DC ground-mount solar power project known as the Silver Springs project (the "Project") on a site located in Gainesville, New York. The Project has achieved a development milestone in receiving positive interconnection results via a completed Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review (CESIR). Now that the Company has received a positive interconnection determination, it will proceed with permitting the Project site. The Project is expected to be eligible for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ("NYSERDA") NY-Sun Program.

Dr. Richard Lu, Chief Executive Officer of SolarBank commented: "SolarBank has always been focused on the development of projects in the United States that provide clean energy to support communities. The recently announced tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China are not expected to have an impact on our business. In particular our recently announced $49.8 million transaction with Qcells will see four projects developed with "Made in America" solar panels. SolarBank believes it can navigate supply chain issues to continue to develop projects with positive economics."

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.

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.
