<strong>Toronto, Ontario, Canada, July 29th, 2025, Chainwire</strong>

&nbsp;
<p class="ql-align-justify"><strong>PowerBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN; Cboe CA: SUNN, FSE: 103)</strong>, a leader in distributed solar energy, battery storage, and clean energy infrastructure across North America, is excited to announce that its largest owned-and-operated asset in the U.S.—the 3.79 MW Geddes Solar Power Project in New York State—is now fully operational.</p>
<p class="ql-align-justify">More than a milestone in renewable energy, this project marks the official launch of PowerBank’s Bitcoin treasury strategy.</p>

<blockquote>“This is a pivotal moment for PowerBank,” said Dr. Richard Lu, President and CEO. “Geddes isn’t just our largest U.S. asset—it’s our launchpad into a bold, dual-track strategy that fuses clean energy leadership with financial innovation. By deploying net cash generated by this project into Bitcoin, we are enhancing the value of our operating assets while aligning ourselves with a future-focused monetary reserve model.”</blockquote>
<p class="ql-align-justify"><strong>A Strategic Inflection Point – Energy + Bitcoin:</strong></p>

<ul>
 	<li><strong>Pioneering Treasury Strategy.</strong> Geddes is the first of potentially several PowerBank projects to support a digital asset reserve model, giving the Company exposure to Bitcoin as a non-correlated, asymmetric upside asset.</li>
 	<li><strong>Financial Flexibility</strong>. This approach allows PowerBank to retain earnings from high-performance assets like Geddes in a store of value with long-term appreciation potential.</li>
 	<li><strong>Environmental Transformation</strong>. By converting a capped landfill into a clean power station, PowerBank demonstrates how sustainability and innovation can converge for long-term value creation.</li>
 	<li><strong>Scalability</strong>. The Company is actively assessing expansion of this Bitcoin treasury strategy across additional solar and battery energy storage projects in its IPP (Independent Power Producer) portfolio.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="ql-align-justify">The Geddes Solar Power Operation</h2>
<p class="ql-align-justify">Built on a repurposed landfill, the Geddes Project now delivers 3.79 MW of clean, renewable energy — enough to power approximately 450 homes annually — while transforming an underutilized site into a productive asset. But its value extends beyond green power.</p>
<p class="ql-align-justify">Net cash flows from the project will be allocated, at management’s discretion, to the acquisition of Bitcoin, creating a hybrid strategy that blends energy generation with strategic digital asset investment.</p>

<ul>
 	<li>Capacity: 3.79 MW DC</li>
 	<li>Type: Utility-scale ground-mounted solar</li>
 	<li>Location: Former landfill site in Geddes, New York</li>
 	<li>Off-take: Local grid, supporting community energy needs</li>
 	<li>Impact: Powers approximately 450 homes annually</li>
</ul>
<p class="ql-align-justify">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.</p>
<p class="ql-align-justify">Additional Information: Bitcoin purchases will be funded through excess cash generated by the Geddes Project, after meeting all capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and operational requirements. Timing, size, and frequency of purchases will be determined by market conditions, Bitcoin pricing, cash needs, and regulatory factors. No Bitcoin has been purchased as of the date of this release. Custody and security frameworks are currently under evaluation and will be finalized prior to any acquisitions.</p>
