Expion360
Introduces Pilot Program to Offer Transformative Solar and Energy Storage Solutions in Partnership with REPM Corp.
REDMOND,
OR., October 12, 2023, Expion360,
Inc. (Nasdaq: XPON), an industry
leader in lithium-ion phosphate (LiFePO4) battery power storage solutions, has
partnered with Renewable Energy Products Manufacturing Corp. (REPM), a pioneer in sustainable home and commercial solar technology and
installations, to offer Expion360’s new home and commercial e360™ solar power storage solutions to REPM’s customers.
The offering will begin with the launch of a pilot program, with installations expected to start in the first quarter of 2024.
Following
the pilot program, the Expion360 energy storage solution will be made available to REPM’s expanding installation pipeline of thousands
of solar-powered homes and businesses across the U.S. The transformative energy storage solution is anticipated to introduce new levels
of optimized efficiency and sustainability, and enable home and business owners to benefit from having their own ‘micro-grid’
of stored energy.
“The
launch of this pilot program is an important first step in introducing our new and innovative solutions for the renewable energy space,”
stated Expion360 CEO, Brian Schaffner. “We anticipate that our collaboration with REPM, a clear leader in the field, will enable
us to deliver energy storage solutions with leading-edge technology and further our mission of creating a sustainable future. We believe
the combination of our latest, most advanced Li-ion battery technology with REPM’s solar energy expertise will deliver reliable,
high-energy, eco-friendly power solutions to communities across the U.S.”
REPM
has been at the forefront of the solar energy revolution, developing numerous residential, commercial, industrial and community solar
projects. REPM and its partners have installed more than 1,000 systems across 16 states, representing a total of 2 gigawatts of solar
power. REPM’s current deployment pipeline includes more than 50 megawatts of solar projects in development.
“REPM
strives to provide our customers with the most efficient and environmentally friendly solar power solutions, and we are excited to partner
with Expion360 to help us fulfill this mission,” commented REPM Solar CEO, John Conte. “Together with Expion360, we plan
to offer our customers a comprehensive renewable energy solution that maximizes energy generation while ensuring dependable, flexible
and affordable energy storage.”
Expion360
and REPM plan to offer the new storage solutions in the first quarter of 2024 following the completion of the pilot program. They expect
the products will benefit from a battery energy storage
market that is forecasted by MarketsandMarkets to grow at a 26.4% compound annual growth rate to reach $17.5 billion by 2027. According
to Clean Energy Group, about 3.2 million homes in the U.S. have solar panels installed, but only about 6% of residential solar systems
have battery storage.
To
learn more about this new solar energy storage solution, contact REPM at Sales@REPMCorp.com.
Expion360 plans to provide further details regarding its partnership with REPM and its transformative e360 energy products in future
announcements.

and competitive position; forecasts regarding the battery energy storage market, and those statements that use forward-looking words
such as “expect,” “plan,” “hope,” “project,” “possibility” and “anticipate,”
or similar expressions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, such forward-looking statements involve significant
risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside our control. Actual results could differ
materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, among others, the
competitive nature of our industry and the pricing pressures that we face, our history of losses and increasing costs, our ability to
continue as a going concern, our dependency on the needs and success of our customers and our substantial customer concentration, any
inability to successfully manage our growth, our ability to expand our sales and distribution channels, our ability to expand into international
markets, the limited number of ports through which our raw materials enter the United Sates and our reliance on third parties to store
and ship certain inventory, uncertainty in the global economic condition, any government reviews, inquiries, investigations and other
actions, changes in the cost and availability of raw materials, our dependency on third-party manufacturers and suppliers and increases
in the cost or disruption of supply or shortages in any of our raw materials, battery components or raw materials used in the production
of such parts, our dependency on our two warehouse facilities, the risk that lithium-ion battery cells may catch fire or release smoke
and flame, potential product liability claims, risks related to litigation, tax, environmental and other legal compliance, any failure
to introduce new products and product enhancements and market acceptance of new technologies introduced by our competitors, any failure
by us to adequately protect our intellectual property or to defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims, quality
problems with our products, our ability to raise capital, risks related to our electronic data becoming compromised, our dependency on
our senior management team and other key employees, any failure to keep pace with developments in technology and those discussed in our
filings with the SEC. Investors should read the risk factors set forth in the Expion360’s previous filings, subsequent filings,
and future periodic reports filed with the SEC. All of the Expion360’s forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by all
such risk factors and other cautionary statements.
