Solar Alliance Energy, Inc. Announces Q2 Earnings, through a challenging period for the solar renewables industry
(figures in Canadian dollars)
Toronto, Canada and Knoxville, Tennessee, August 29, 2025 – Solar Alliance Energy Inc. (‘Solar Alliance’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: SOLR, OTC: SAENF), a leading solar energy solutions provider focused on the commercial and utility solar sectors, announces it has filed its unaudited financial results for the three months ended June 30th, 2025. The Company’s Financial Statements and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis are available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
“Solar Alliance’s main activity through Q2 2025 was the continued build-out of a large solar energy project for major repeat customer located in Kentucky. Due to unusually severe weather in Kentucky, which included widespread flooding, power outages, and tornadoes throughout the state, and other technical issues, the project experienced delays in the quarter. This contributed to a reduced level of activity and a decline in revenues to $1.685,144Millon, in H 1 2025 compared to $2,376,389, in H1 2024.” said CEO Brian Timmons.
In the recent short-term period, through the first half of 2025, the Company’s business development has been impacted by the uncertainties in relation to the US Administration’s renewables policy proposals. During this period there was no clarity in respect of the availability of the fiscal incentives, and no firm basis for board decision-making. This effectively put all corporate solar project investment decisions on hold. As the Administration policy decisions unfolded, however, the choices announced provided for a longer, more favourable transition period for commercial and industrial solar projects with respect to tax incentives than was previously feared.
Similarly, grant funded community and rural solar initiatives across the region have been impacted by funding policy uncertainty and have accordingly progressed very cautiously.
The net impact is that, during the first half of the year the Company experienced delayed decisions across the board – from commercial, community and rural clients and thereby reduced commercial activity. The following financials reflect the above.
Key financial highlights for H1 and Q2, 2025
- Revenue for the first six months of 2025 of $1,685,144 compared to $2,376,369 in the comparative period in 2024.
- Net deficit for the first six months of 2025 $711,450 compared to a net income of $1,495 in the comparative period in 2024.
- Gross profit for the first six months of 2025 of $322,059 and gross margin of 19.1% compared to a gross profit of $853,695 and gross margin of 35% in the comparative period in 2024.
- Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $849,535, (Q2, 2024 $711,532) ).
- Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of $234,880 (Q2, 2024 – net loss of $200,339).
- Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of $480,993 (Q2, 2024, $504,300) resulting in a gross profit of $368,542 and gross margin of 43.3% (Q2, 2023: gross profit of $207,232 and gross margin of 29.1% .
Highlights
Looking forward, however, the Company’s purposeful transition to larger commercial solar projects development efforts now includes assessment of specific regional requests for proposals for solar projects, where Solar Alliance has a competitive advantage arising from its installation experience, track record and regional brand awareness. Solar Alliance continues to see increased demand for commercial solar projects, and, while focused on larger, higher margin commercial solar projects, is also seeing rising demand for solar projects for small and medium-sized businesses in rural communities. Recent focus on AI energy requirements and the cost implications of increased electricity demand are adding renewed interest in onsite power generation, where solar and solar plus storage solutions are well suited.
The Company is pursuing larger scale projects of a scale of up to 5MWs in generation capacity. The procurement of such contracts would be expected to have a material impact on the Company’s working capital and financial resources availability.
Also, while the Company continues to execute on existing projects, it is pursuing the upgrade of its business development capability, and in this regard is undertaking initiatives to significantly strengthen and resource up its marketing, business development and sales capability, so as to leverage the Company’s reputation and execution capability. This, it is expected, will enable the Company to generate substantially higher revenues, profitability and cashflows than has been achievable before.
Longer term, the fundamentals for growth in solar energy demand remain very compelling.
These include:
- Capital costs for solar installations have fallen by 84%[1] over the past 15 years, moving solar energy from being the most expensive to the lowest cost source of energy
- The speed at which solar generation can be constructed, relative to the available alternatives, such that in excess of 80%[2] of new generation capacity in 2024 was accounted for by solar and solar storage deployments;
- The prospect of substantially higher growth in electricity demand, over the next 5 to 10 years, from the proliferation of datacentres and AI and the consequent likely upward pressure on electricity prices.
and
- The delays likely to arise in the coming onstream of alternative sources of power supply – viz natural gas pipelines are operating at significant capacity constraints[3] and much evidence suggests that the nuclear alternative, also, will take some years to come onstream[4];
These factors are motivating corporate clients in particular, (and community solar promoters also) to look at how they can mitigate the impact of energy price increases and enhance security of power supply. In this context, solar energy and storage systems are particularly suited for collocated, onsite energy production.
Longer Term Strategy
The board and management team is also intent on pursuing serious longer term initiatives to serve the needs of our marketplace after the ITC incentives are gone. In this regard the Company believes it is very strongly placed to address the energy challenges that the C&I and community solar energy providers will likely face in a new era when it is likely that increased demand and potentially much higher energy prices become increasingly evident. The Company is looking to position itself as a compelling, cost effective, microgrid energy solutions provider in the future and believes that the emerging energy industry will present massive opportunity for the Company’s know-how and experience.

Solar Alliance Announces Resumption of TSXV Trading, Corporate Update (All figures in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.)
Toronto, Canada and Knoxville, Tennessee, August 28, 2025 – Solar Alliance Energy Inc. (‘Solar Alliance’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: SOLR, OTC: SAENF), a leading solar energy solutions provider focused on the commercial and utility solar sectors, announces that trading of its common shares will be reinstated on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) at the opening of the market on or about September 3, 2025. This follows the successful resolution of the cease trade order issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) on May 7, 2025 and revoked by the BCSC on May 22, 2025.
The Company acknowledges and appreciates the patience of its shareholders during this process and reaffirms its commitment to adhering to high standards of compliance and corporate governance.
Industry and Corporate Update
Background
The commercial solar industry has shifted significantly over the past 8 months, with the passage of US legislation signed into law earlier this month, rolling back certain tax equity incentives. This legislation, however, ended a period of extreme uncertainty, and in the immediate term, the Company expects renewed demand for solar systems as clients seek to benefit from the incentives while they continue to remain in place.
Longer term, meanwhile, the fundamentals for growth in solar energy demand remain compelling.
These include:
•Capital costs for solar installations have fallen by 84%1 over the past 15 years
•The speed at which solar generation can be constructed, relative to the available alternatives,such that in excess of 80%2 of new generation capacity in 2024 was accounted for by solar andsolar storage deployments.
•The prospect of substantially higher growth in electricity demand, over the next 5 to 10 years,from the proliferation of datacentres and AI and the consequent likely upward pressure onelectricity prices. And
•The delays likely to arise in the coming onstream of alternative sources of power supply – viznatural gas pipelines are operating at significant capacity constraints3 and much evidencesuggests that the nuclear alternative, also, will take some years to come onstream4;
These factors are motivating corporate clients in particular, (and community solar promoters also) to look to how they can mitigate the impact of energy price increases and enhance security of power supply. In this context, solar energy and storage systems are particularly suited for collocated, onsite energy production.

Corporate
The Company has now positioned itself to execute larger scale projects and has a number of projects under development. Some of the solar projects in the Company’s pipeline are of a scale of up to 5MWs in generation capacity. The procurement of such contracts would be expected to have a material positive impact on the Company’s working capital and increase the financial resources available to the Company. So, while the Company continues to execute on existing projects, its business development activity, driven by the Company’s acknowledged execution capability, will enable the Company to generate substantially higher revenues, profitability and cashflows than has been achievable before.
TSXV Review of Reinstatement
Pursuant to the TSXV trading reinstatement review, the Company is providing the following disclosures:
The Company closed two loans with related parties in 2023 and 2024. The Company confirms the loans were fully disclosed in the Company’s financial statements. In June 2023, the Company closed a loan with a director of the Company, for a total of $137,500 (the “2023 Loan”). The term of the loan was for one year from the date of each advance and bears interest at 15% per annum. As at the date hereof, the outstanding balance of the loan is $189,208 including principal and interest. In July 2024, the Company closed an unsecured short-term loan with a 10% shareholder of the Company, for a total capacity of $135,000 USD (the “2024 Loan”, and together with the 2023 Loan, the “Loans”). The term of the loan is one year from the date of each advance and bears interest at 0% per annum. As at the date hereof, the outstanding balance of the loan is US$65,000 including principal and interest.
These Loans constituted a “Related Party Transaction” for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company relied upon an exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 in respect of the Loans, in reliance on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the Loans, did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
The Company also announces that it has entered a consulting agreement (the “Agreement”) with Connect Capital Consulting Inc. (“Connect Capital”) of Calgary, Alberta. Under the terms of the Agreement, among other things, Connect Capital has agreed to provide certain investor relation services to the Company in accordance with Policy 3.4 – Investor Relations, Promotional and Market-Making Activities of the TSXV. The Connect Capital Agreement was entered into on November 4, 2024 for an initial term until March 1, 2025, and with such agreement renewing on a monthly basis thereafter. The Company pays Connect Capital a monthly fee of $5,000 under the Connect Capital Agreement, including with respect to any extension thereto. Connect Capital is operated by Adam Woodward. As at the date of the Agreement, neither Adam Woodward nor Connect Capital Consulting Inc hold any shares of the Company and is at arm’s-length to the Company. The Agreement remains subject to approval by the Exchange.

The Company announces that, further to the Company’s press release dated March 6, 2025, the Company entered into an Advisory Services Agreement with Oak Hill Financial Inc. (the “Oak Hill Agreement”) to provide business and capital markets advisory services including investor relations services. Services are no longer being provided under the Oak Hill Agreement.
The Company notes as at March 31, 2025, it had a working capital deficiency in the amount of $3,449,974. This follows a reduction in activity consequential to the uncertainty in respect of the future of tax-based incentives. Following the signing into law of the OBBB on July 4th, that uncertainty was substantially removed and the industry was given a degree of clarity over the availability of tax-based credit incentives. The case for undertaking solar energy projects in the near term has now been significantly boosted. Following the dearth of activity in the solar market over the past two to three quarters, the Company is experiencing renewed interest in the undertaking of projects and is experiencing indications of an accelerated level of activity. The board of directors of the Company anticipates that the Company’s declared focus on the larger commercial and industrial (“C&I”) sector will, in the short to medium term, assist in remedying the deficit. The execution of C&I projects of a scale of 2MWs to 5MWs, has the potential to give rise to increased revenues which would greatly strengthen the Company’s working capital position. The Company has several of such projects in its pipeline of potential solar projects, although no such projects are contracted at this time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reminds readers that there is, of course, no guarantee the Company will be able to procure such projects.
This market sector is particularly suited to the Company’s track record in the delivery of more complex projects, and its engagement with subcontractors who undertake the rapid roll-out of the PV modules on site. This leaves the Company’s team with primary responsibility for the delivery of energy solutions appropriate to the specific project, – leveraging off the team’s design, engineering, procurement, project management and commissioning – skills, which in the Company’s experience, generate higher margin.
The Board is looking forward to the further engagement in this strategy and to the potential of increased revenues and cashflows that would be expected to accrue from execution of projects at this higher level.
