Expion360 Introduces Pilot Program to Offer Transformative Solar and Energy Storage Solutions in Partnership with REPM Corp.

REDMOND, OR / ACCESSWIRE / 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 solution 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 2028. 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.
