MW Solar Project Under Development by
SolarBank in Middletown, New York
●
Second new community solar project announced this week in addition to 5.4 MW project announced yesterday.

Expected to operate as a community solar site, selling credits to subscribers.
●
Over 800 homes expected to be provided green energy once operational
●
Eligible to participate in the NYSUN program to receive NYSERDA incentives.
Toronto,
Ontario, September 24, 2024 — SolarBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN; Cboe CA: SUNN, FSE: GY2) (“SolarBank” or the “Company”)
announces that it intends to develop a 7 MW DC ground-mount solar power project known as the Hwy 28 project (the “Project”)
on a 45 acre site located in Middletown, Delaware County, New York. This follows yesterday’s press release regarding a 5.4 MW DC
ground-mount solar power project known as the Boyle project on a site located in Broome County, New York that the Company is developing.
The Project is expected to be eligible for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA”)
NY-Sun Program.
The
Company has secured a lease over the Project site and received interconnection approval. It will now work to complete the permitting
process and secure the necessary financing for construction. The Hwy 28 Project is another addition to SolarBank’s growing community
solar portfolio, and contributes to the Company’s extensive development pipeline, which now exceeds one gigawatt.
Once
completed, the Project will be operated as a community solar project. The clean energy generated by a community solar project feeds directly
into the local electricity grid. Depending on the size and number of panels the project has, dozens or even hundreds of renters and homeowners
can earn credits on their electric bill and save money from the electricity that is generated by the project. By subscribing to a project,
community members can access the benefits of renewable energy without having to install panels on their home. SolarBank’s strategic
focus on community solar aligns with its goal of powering thousands of homes with clean and affordable energy.
There
are several risks associated with the development of the Project. The development of any project is subject to receipt of 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 economical. Please refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional
discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the statements in this press release.

and may involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from
those expressed in such forward-looking statements. In particular and without limitation, this news release contains forward-looking
statements pertaining to the Company’s expectations regarding its industry trends and overall market growth; the Company’s
growth strategies the expected energy production from the solar power project mentioned in this press release; the number of homes expected
to be powered; the reduction of carbon emissions; the receipt permits and financing to be able to construct the Project; and the receipt

statements included in this news release should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this
news release.
Forward-looking
statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of the experience and perception of historical
trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate, and are subject to risks and
uncertainties. In making the forward looking statements included in this news release, the Company has made various material assumptions,
including but not limited to: obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals; that regulatory requirements will be maintained; general
business and economic conditions; the Company’s ability to successfully execute its plans and intentions; the availability of financing
on reasonable terms; the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled staff; market competition; the products and services offered
by the Company’s competitors; that the Company’s current good relationships with its service providers and other third parties
will be maintained; and government subsidies and funding for renewable energy will continue as currently contemplated. Although the Company
believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect, and the Company cannot assure
that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, investors
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Whether
actual results, performance or achievements will conform to the Company’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, including those listed under “Forward-Looking Statements”
and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recently completed Annual Information Form, and other public filings
of the Company, which include: the Company may be adversely affected by volatile solar power market and industry conditions; the execution
of the Company’s growth strategy depends upon the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements; the Company’s
future success depends partly on its ability to expand the pipeline of its energy business in several key markets; governments may revise,
reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar and battery storage power; general global economic conditions may
have an adverse impact on our operating performance and results of operations; the Company’s project development and construction
activities may not be successful; developing and operating solar projects exposes the Company to various risks; the Company faces a number
of risks involving Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”) and project-level financing arrangements; any changes to the laws,
regulations and policies that the Company is subject to may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use
of solar power; the markets in which the Company competes are highly competitive and evolving quickly; an anti-circumvention investigation
could adversely affect the Company by potentially raising the prices of key supplies for the construction of solar power projects; foreign
exchange rate fluctuations; a change in the Company’s effective tax rate can have a significant adverse impact on its business;
seasonal variations in demand linked to construction cycles and weather conditions may influence the Company’s results of operations;
the Company may be unable to generate sufficient cash flows or have access to external financing; the Company may incur substantial additional
indebtedness in the future; the Company is subject to risks from supply chain issues; risks related to inflation; unexpected warranty
expenses that may not be adequately covered by the Company’s insurance policies; if the Company is unable to attract and retain
key personnel, it may not be able to compete effectively in the renewable energy market; there are a limited number of purchasers of
utility-scale quantities of electricity; compliance with environmental laws and regulations can be expensive; corporate responsibility
may adversely impose additional costs; the future impact of any resurgence of COVID-19 on the Company is unknown at this time; the Company
has limited insurance coverage; the Company will be reliant on information technology systems and may be subject to damaging cyberattacks;
the Company may become subject to litigation; there is no guarantee on how the Company will use its available funds; the Company will
continue to sell securities for cash to fund operations, capital expansion, mergers and acquisitions that will dilute the current shareholders;
and future dilution as a result of financings.
The
Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the
Company to predict all of them, or assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors,
may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statements
contained in this news release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
