Disseminated on behalf of SolarBank Corporation.

And with its recent uplisting to a major stock exchange, this company isn’t going to stay off Wall Street’s radar for much longer.

8 reasons why this company could become a “shining star” of your portfolio … no matter which way the political winds blow.

With President Biden’s war on fossil fuels well into its fourth year, we’re feeling the ramifications across essentially every aspect of the economy, from rising transportation costs to the seemingly ever-increasing price of basic goods.

Fortunately, no matter what your opinion of the president’s policies, there’s a silver lining that many investors will find compelling.

You see, his policies aren’t just aimed at crippling the fossil fuel industry. They’re also loaded with spending, regulations and mandates designed to force a fast transition to green energy.

And, no matter what you think about those policies, they’ve unleashed a tsunami of opportunity as companies small and large look to take advantage of the billions of dollars flooding into the market.

How to Make the President’s Energy Policies Work for You

For my money, one of the best opportunities right now is with solar energy, which is almost certain to be the leading replacement for the energy now produced by fossil fuels.

And I’m not the only one with this opinion.

Major corporations and Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft are “putting their money where their mouth is” and allocating millions toward transitioning to green energy sources like solar and wind …

… Including, as I’ve recently discovered, a massive Fortune 500 player with a market cap of $130.84 billion.

More on that in a moment.

Before I dive into billion-dollar behemoths making multi-million-dollar moves toward powering their operations with the sun …

… I want to talk to you about my research into the little-known solar power company that locked down a $41 million deal using its decades-long track record, an elite leadership team … and what I call its “secret sauce.”

And early investors in this company — SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) — could be looking at a great opportunity in the months and year ahead as the forecasted demand for solar power goes into hyperdrive.

The Booming Solar Power Market Could Mean SolarBank Is Going Places

In a moment, I’ll reveal my eight reasons why SolarBank Corp. has earned my glowing recommendation … and why I think it could be a spectacular asset in your portfolio.

However, before I get into that, I’d like to make it clear that SolarBank Corp. isn’t some fly-by-night start-up. It’s actually been in business for more than 10 years and has built more than 100 solar power plants.

Furthermore, as you’ll see in a moment, the company’s impressive résumé of successful projects has opened up an impressive stream of opportunities for the company.

Those opportunities — combined with the exploding demand for solar power — could put SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) on the road to becoming a much more significant player.

And that’s something that could ignite interest in the company and provide an opportunity for investors.

With that said, let’s take a look at…

8 Reasons Why SolarBank Corp. Could Be Your Portfolio’s “Shining Star”

My name is Tim Collins, and I run an investment research firm called Streetlight Confidential.

It’s my job to help investors potentially take advantage of powerful megatrends — including megatrends driven by the political winds.

As a result, over the years we’ve helped countless individual investors with investment ideas through good markets and bad.

And SolarBank Corp. is our latest subscriber pick. Let me explain why…

Reason #1: The U.S. and Other Governments Are All-In on the Net Zero Bandwagon — and Solar Power Is Critical to Making It Happen

Hundreds of Billions of Dollars Allocated to Fast-Track the Transition to Solar

As I mentioned, to make this all happen, the U.S. government is spending hundreds of billions of dollars.

For example, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) spends $369 billion on clean energy projects designed to “tackle the climate crisis.”

And that’s on top of the $242 billion allocated by the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to fight climate change with clean energy.

The IRA also includes a 10-year extension of the 30% solar power investment tax credit — with up to 50% available on some projects.

I agree with Pol Lezcano, a solar industry analyst at the research firm BloombergNEF, when he says, “The incentives in the IRA are like pouring gasoline on a fire.”

And Lezcano’s not alone.

An analysis by Jeffries, a leading global investment bank, predicts “exponential growth” ahead for renewable energy.

However, the billions of dollars in spending and tax credit are just a portion of what’s driving the growth of the solar power market.

States are Mandating Renewable Energy

30 states and the District of Columbia are imposing renewable energy mandates to dramatically speed up the transition to solar and wind power.

Governments Are Mandating It Too

Politicians also imposing mandates to make the transition move even faster.

At least 30 states have passed Renewable Portfolio Standards — a fancy name for mandates to use an increasing percentage of renewable energy.

It’s anybody’s guess if we can meet them, but you can be sure the politicians will be spending money and passing regulations to make it happen.

The policies mandate a specific percentage of electricity sold by utilities to come from renewable sources.

Somebody has to supply the solar power to meet all that energy demand … and that makes what SolarBank Corp. offers all that more powerful.

Of course, future governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support for solar and battery storage power, which could affect demand for SolarBank Corp’s services.

However, given the solar industry’s current momentum, it’s my opinion that that risk will be mitigated by rising demand and increasing private capital investment. Which brings me to my second reason.

Reason #2: Billionaire Investors and Private Equity Firms Are Pouring Billions of Dollars Into Renewable Energy Companies

The rapid growth of the renewable energy sector — especially solar power — has drawn interest and multi-billion-dollar investments from private equity firms and numerous billionaires.

Private equity firms invested more than $50 billion into the clean energy transition between August 2022 and February 2023 alone.

For starters, S&P Global Commodity Insights reviewed private equity investments from August 2022 through February 2023 and found that firms invested more than $50 billion in those seven months alone.

However, private equity firms aren’t the only ones looking to get in on the action.

A multitude of billionaire investors are also pouring money into the clean energy sector via Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a multi-billion-dollar investment fund founded by Bill Gates.

Reason #3: Demand for Solar Energy Is Soaring, and SolarBank Corp. Is Positioned to Help Meet It

Over the last few years, demand for solar power has increased by leaps and bounds.

In fact, since 2010, global solar power capacity has risen an astonishing 48 times.

This rising demand has been fueled in part by the spending, tax credits and mandates I detailed a moment ago.

The cost of solar has plummeted by 90% just since 2011.

However, a third factor is that, as the chart to the right shows, the cost of both solar and battery storage have fallen dramatically over the last decade.

Since 2011, when solar was the most expensive form of electricity generation, its cost has fallen a whopping 90%.

In fact, the International Energy Agency reports that solar is now cheaper than natural gas and coal when it comes to generating electricity.

This is due in large part to technological innovation and economies of scale created by increased demand.

And the future looks even brighter.

U.S. Renewable Electricity Generation
(In Billion Kilowatt Hours)

Electricity generated by renewable energy sources will soar year after year, with solar energy leading the way and seeing the biggest increase by far.

The International Renewable Energy Agency estimates that electricity consumption derived from renewables will grow from 25% in 2018 to 90% by 2050.

And #1 will be solar, which the Department of Energy, says could account for as much as 40% of the U.S. electricity supply by 2035.

But get this: Currently, solar accounts for only about 5% of all the electricity generated in the U.S.

In other words, the next five to 10 years are going to see massive growth in the solar industry.

By 2027, the North American solar market is expected to reach $120.74 billion — a 380% increase since 2019.

As you’ll see in a moment, SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) is already taking advantage of this growth with its 1 gigawatt pipeline of projects.

Better yet, my analysis shows that its revenue guidance continues to indicate steady growth over the next year.

Reason #4: SolarBank Corp. Has an Impressive Résumé

Over the last 10 years, SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) has built more than 100 solar power plants — primarily in the United States and Canada.

The company’s longevity and experience set it apart from other players in SolarBank Corp’s market sectors.

The solar power market is defined by intense competition and constant innovation, and many companies aren’t able to keep up with the pace of change. It’s an industry-wide risk. And one SolarBank Corp. isn’t immune to.

However, the fact that SolarBank Corp. has successfully navigated those risks for more than a decade — while turning a profit, I might add — leads me to believe that it is well suited to continue developing and operating its solar projects well into the future.

In fact, the company was voted one of the “Top Ten Renewable Energy Solutions Providers in Canada” for 2023.

It’s an annual listing of companies at the forefront of providing renewable energy solutions.

In recent years, the company’s primary focus has been…

• Behind the Meter solar projects: These are energy systems that are built on a company’s property to generate and possibly store power. They are separate from the electric grid and thus aren’t metered by the electric company.

• Community Solar Projects: These are large solar panel farms that are usually owned by private developers or subscribers.

They provide electricity that is fed into the electric grid — but the residents, businesses and organizations that participate in the project get credit on their electric bill for their share of the power produced by the farm.

• Utility-Scale Solar Farms: These cover many acres of land with thousands of solar panels generating electricity for the grid.

A Rich History and a Bright Future

SolarBank Corp. got its start taking advantage of Ontario, Canada’s Feed-in Tariff program — a government policy mechanism. The program provided financial incentives for generating power from renewable sources of energy to make them more competitive with fossil fuels.

By the time the program ended, the company had completed more than 150 such projects generating enough electricity to power 10,000 homes.

Better yet, the program established SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) as a reliable and reputable solar power provider and operator.

Here in the United States, it has also had a series of impressive successes. Here are a few highlights from its dozens of completed projects…

• In 2017, SolarBank Corp. entered a 30-year agreement with the Maryland Department of Transportation to solarize the state’s transportation systems.

• In 2020, a 7-megawatts at peak — meaning the maximum power it can produce under ideal conditions — Community Solar Farm began operation, supplying energy to residences in upper state of New York.

• In 2022, six solar projects were placed in commercial service.

Partnering With a Fortune 500 Behemoth

However, perhaps the company’s most impressive achievements came in late 2023, when it reached an agreement with Honeywell International, the $130.84 billion Fortune 500 behemoth.

Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) engaged SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) to engineer and build three 7-megawatt solar power projects in upstate New York.

SolarBank Corp’s agreement with Honeywell shows just how good a reputation the company has in the solar industry. And many more solar power agreements are in the pipeline.

However, the Honeywell deal was just the tip of the iceberg in 2023.

In addition to the $41 million Honeywell contract, the company was also awarded $47 million worth of contracts for three Battery Energy Storage System projects and a 5.9 megawatt Community Solar Project.

All this gives the company a great deal of credibility for the aggressive plans it has for the future, which brings me to…

Reason #5: SolarBank Corp. Has Embarked on an Expansion Plan That Could Mean Significant Growth Ahead

One of the things I really like about SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) is that it refuses to rest on its laurels.

The company’s president and CEO — Dr. Richard Lu — has set his sights on turning SolarBank Corp. into a major player by taking full advantage of the hyperspeed transition to solar energy.

That transition is still in its early stages — but as it accelerates in the years ahead, SolarBank Corp. looks to be well positioned to capitalize thanks to an impressive expansion plan.

Let’s take a look at some of the opportunities the company is looking at right now.

The Biden Administration Pushes Community Solar

As I mentioned, the company has completed a number of community solar projects that let individuals and businesses take advantage of solar power without having to put solar panels on their roofs.

These projects — also known as solar gardens — are the fastest growing segment of the solar industry.

They’re also vital because, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than 50% of Americans who would like to use solar energy are unable to install a rooftop solar array.

At the end of 2021, only about a million households in the U.S. were able to take advantage of community solar.

However, the Biden Administration is determined to expand that to five million by 2025 — a 400% increase.

Community Solar State Policy Types

As you can see from the map to the right, 22 states already mandate and incentivize the building of community solar projects.

This is great for SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) because of its vast experience in building community solar facilities. That experience makes it an obvious go-to company for future projects.

Helping Big Companies Go Green “Behind the Meter”

Another opportunity for SolarBank Corp. is the growth of commercial and industrial behind the meter (BTM) power generation.

Currently, only around 1% of commercial electricity demand is met by on-site BTM solar. However, according to Grandview Research, the U.S. market will better than triple between 2023 and 2030 as more and more companies position themselves as “environmentally friendly.”

And SolarBank Corp’s track record positions the company nicely to continue picking up contracts to build BTM solar farms.

When you add up the projects in SolarBank Corp’s (NASDAQ: SUUN) potential development pipeline, you’re looking at projects with the potential to generate 1,000 megawatts at peak of power — enough to power 200,000 homes.

And enough to keep SolarBank Corp. busy for the next 10 years.

A Bigger Opportunity Beckons

 CHowever, all this could be small potatoes when compared to SolarBank Corp’s next big thing.

While community solar and BTM projects will remain the company’s bread and butter in the immediate future, a much bigger opportunity is around the corner.

And it’s the opportunity I’m most excited about because it sets the company up for stellar long-term growth.

You see, the company has recently emerged as an “independent power producer.” This means SolarBank Corp’s (NASDAQ: SUUN) builds its own solar farms to generate power that it will sell to utilities commercial entities or community solar subscribers.

Ultimately, it is targeting the development of utility scale solar farms that may have the capacity to generate more than 100 megawatts of electricity — enough to power 10,000 homes each.

This “build and own” model provides more stable long-term revenue than building plants for others. It also offers the largest market for solar energy long term and the opportunity for growth.

That’s because demand from utilities for green power — especially solar — is growing exponentially.

Utilities are increasingly required by law to meet “Renewable Portfolio Standards” — which means they must generate a certain percentage of electricity from renewable sources by a certain date.

California for example, requires utilities to get 60% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and 100% by

2045.

Dozens of other states have similar mandates.

SolarBank Corp. has already begun building its independent power producer portfolio. In November 2023 it acquired control of two corporations that hold solar projects in Ontario with a combined capacity of 2.5 megawatts.

The company also recently began construction of its Geddes project in Geddes, New York. This will be the largest solar project to date to be owned by SolarBank Corp. (subject to financing) and once operational is expected to provide green energy for over 500 homes.

Now, the growth of SolarBank Corp’s independent power producer portfolio is dependent on access to additional debt and equity financing to support the development of these projects. It also needs to secure suitable land via lease or purchase and receipt of permits and regulatory approvals.

There’s no two ways about it — big aspirations require access to capital.

However, one of the things that really impresses me about SolarBank Corp. is that while it makes these aggressive plans for the future — plans that could help the company grow significantly — the management team’s fiscally conservative, smart asset allocation tells me that they’re not “betting the farm” on one big play that may or may not come to fruition.

SolarBank Corp’s (NASDAQ: SUUN) Vertical Integration Gives the Company a Strong Competitive Advantage

SolarBank Corp. is a vertically integrated company, which gives the company nice competitive advantage and the ability to complete projects more quickly.

Reason #6: SolarBank Corp’s Vertical Integration Provides a Competitive Advantage

Now we get to the “secret sauce” I mentioned earlier.

Another thing SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) has going for it — and, in my opinion, the major feature distinguishing it from a field of solar pretenders — is its full vertically integrated business model.

This vertical integration provides SolarBank Corp. with an agility that many companies could have a hard time replicating.

And, while most solar companies focus on one specific area of the renewable energy value chain, vertical integration means SolarBank Corp. brings its expertise to all of it.

This also gives the company a competitive advantage when it comes to cost.

It’s a step-by-step process — something akin to a “production line” in the words of SolarBank Corp. CEO Dr. Richard Lu.

It all starts with the origination of a project. SolarBank Corp. analyzes government policies, digs deep into the project’s finances to make sure it will create value for shareholders and finds and secures the right site for the project.

It then brings its development expertise to bear to get the necessary permits and environmental approvals. It also looks into available incentives and tax benefits. And it helps put a Power Purchase Agreement in place outlining the terms under which electricity will be sold.

The company’s financial team also gets involved to secure financial via equity, debt, tax credits or traditional construction financing. To date, the company has managed more than $100 million in project financing.

It then delivers the goods by engineering the project, procuring the necessary equipment and materials — including solar panels and inverters that convert DC electricity to AC — and building the project.

Lastly, the company can take care of operations and management. This includes managing subscribers to the power, as well as care for the assets themselves.

All this creates a seamless and efficient process that allows SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) to bring a project to fruition in as little as 12 to 18 months … an impressive rate many companies would be hard-pressed to match.

And I don’t need to tell you that the faster a company can bring additional projects online, the faster it can potentially see revenues flowing back into its coffers.

Reason #7: SolarBank Corp. Had Been Profitable for Years

I also like what I see when I look at SolarBank Corp’s numbers.

The company doubled its revenue to $13.7 million in the fiscal year that ended in June 2023.

Better yet, based on the projects it has already secured, SolarBank Corp. has provided revenue guidance of $33 to $37 million for the next fiscal year, which would be another double by June 2024.

The company’s build out of its independent power producer business provides a further opportunity for revenue growth.

However, it’s not just about revenue. The company was also profitable for its most recently completed financial year.

Reason #8: A Strong Management Team With More Than 100 Years of Combined Experience

One of the most critical factors in the success of any company is its management team.

Many financial advisors take management for granted. However, I’ve seen multiple companies with strong potential underachieve or fail altogether simply because their management teams were mediocre or stocked with family members instead of people with real experience.

That’s why I always take a close look to make sure management has the expertise and the experience to move the company forward. That includes interviewing members of the team and looking carefully at their past experience.

Fortunately, when I did my deep dive on the management behind SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) I found a solid team with the skills and the experience to take the company to the next level.

Even better, I discovered that the management team, company directors, the founders, and advisors own 70% of the 27 million common shares outstanding, which indicates a strong belief in the company and the team running it.

They include:

These are just some of the reasons I’m now recommending that my subscribers speak with their investment advisor and seriously consider an investment in SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN).

If you think SolarBank Corp. could be a good fit for your portfolio, I encourage you to do the same.

Just remember, as with any investment, there are risks to consider. The solar market can be volatile, and demand for solar power can fluctuate. This could reduce the company’s revenues.

We could also see government incentives can dry up. Or the economy could fall into recession, which could affect anything from the company’s supply chains to its revenues and operations.

These potential risks, among others, are why it’s vital to do your due diligence.

In my opinion, however, the data shows that demand for SolarBank Corp’s next-gen energy offerings could keep increasing over the mid- to long-term.

Additionally, as I mentioned, SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) isn’t some fly-by-night operation, with a fresh-faced leadership team banking on lofty ideals and hoping to figure it out as they go.

Instead, it’s quite the opposite. My analysis shows that SolarBank Corp’s uniquely experienced executive team, coupled with its decade-plus history of navigating the ups and downs of the solar industry, give the company the edge it needs to overcome the inevitable economic fluctuations coming down the pike.

My confidence in the company is based on everything I’ve outlined so far. However, I have so much more to tell you about why I’m so impressed with the company. And you’ll find in a new Special Report I recently completed.
