Disseminated on behalf of PowerBank Corporation.

‍

PowerBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) has been on an absolute tear. 

‍

‍

The latest catalyst is PowerBank’s $41 million transaction to sell its Elmira, Jordan Road 1, and Jordan Road 2 solar projects to Solar Advocate Development LLC. 

‍

This is actually a pretty big deal because the fact is, solar developers don’t win by owning projects forever. They win by moving capital efficiently. The playbook is simple:

• Develop projects intelligently
  
  
• Bring them to commercial operation
  
  
• Monetize them
  
  
• Redeploy that capital into the next wave

‍

This transaction allows PowerBank to do exactly that. 

‍

By selling late-stage projects with defined economics, the company freed up capital and will now put it back to work funding new projects and ensuring timely construction of projects for its partners.

‍

That distinction is critical. This wasn’t a speculative bet on future ideas or an abstract “pipeline” announcement. These were real projects, with real valuations, converted into liquidity. 

‍

The takeaway is straightforward:

‍

• PowerBank now has more liquidity to fund additional projects
  
  
• It can shorten the cycle between development and revenue
  
  
• And it can scale without overleveraging the balance sheet
  
  

This is how serious infrastructure developers grow, not by waiting for perfect conditions, but by recycling capital and compounding execution.

‍

Markets tend to reward that kind of discipline. And right now, PowerBank’s stock action suggests investors are starting to recognize a simple truth: in energy development, capital velocity beats headlines.

‍

This $41 million deal isn’t about optics. It’s about momentum.

Disclaimer

‍

There are several risks associated with the development of the Projects. The development of any project is subject to the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Owner and the risks associated with the construction of a solar power project. Each EPC agreement includes a corresponding guarantee agreement entered into between Owner and the Company that provides that the Owner shall have, if it is not satisfied with its due diligence, the absolute and unconditional right to sell, transfer, convey or assign the Project back to the Company ("Sell-Back Right") without incurring any further liabilities by providing written notice to Company at any time within 60 days of December 19, 2025. If any EPC agreement is terminated, the Company will not achieve the transaction value and will required to return any funds that have been received associated with the terminated 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 statements in this press release.
