The Solar Product Registry Set to Boost Solar Deployment

Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earth elements and other critical minerals, announced that high-purity neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) oxide produced at its White Mesa Mill in Utah has been manufactured into commercial scale REPMs by South Korea's largest manufacturer of drive unit motor cores, pursuant to a previously announced MOU, and has passed all quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) benchmarks for use in EV drive unit motors sold to major automotive manufacturers. This included the successful manufacture of Energy Fuels' NdPr oxide into NdPr metal, neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) alloy sintered blocks (45H grade), and high-performance, high-temperature NdFeB REPMs.

The successful production of REPMs from Energy Fuels' NdPr oxide marks a decisive breakthrough in building a "mine-to-magnet" supply chain independent of China, using rare earth oxides (REOs) produced in the United States. Energy Fuels' NdPr oxide has now been qualified for use in high temperature drive units, which are installed in EV and hybrid vehicles manufactured by major automotive companies across North America, the EU, Japan, and Korea. Drive units powered by Energy Fuels' NdPr oxide are expected to be installed in new vehicles and be available in the marketplace within the next few months. Now that Energy Fuels' NdPr has been validated, the parties now intend to engage in negotiations for a potential longer-term supply arrangement.

"We are excited to announce that rare earth oxides mined, processed and produced in America are expected to be powering EVs and hybrids for sale around the world very soon, representing a major achievement in restoring domestic critical mineral supply chains" said Mark S. Chalmers, CEO of Energy Fuels. "Commercial validation of our rare earth oxides at scale is a significant triumph for Energy Fuels, proving we have the capacity and expertise to produce rare earth materials that meet both commercial and defense requirements, at scale and to appropriate purity and performance specifications. Energy Fuels also recently announced that we are producing pilot quantities of 99.9% purity dysprosium oxide, a critical 'heavy' rare earth and another key ingredient in NdFeB magnets. We plan to construct 'heavy' rare earth oxide capacity in 2026 at our White Mesa Mill in Utah, thereby 'closing the loop' on this important non-China supply chain."

The 1.2 metric tonnes of NdPr oxide supplied by Energy Fuels earlier this year was processed into approximately 3.0 metric tonnes of REPMs, which is enough to power approximately 1,500 new electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Energy Fuels has received 25 kilograms of the 45H grade NdFeB sintered block alloys (shown below) as a testament to this landmark achievement.

The REOs produced by Energy Fuels were derived from monazite concentrates mined in Florida and Georgia U.S.A. at heavy mineral sand (HMS) operations owned and operated by The Chemours Company. Chemours' monazite concentrate was processed into high-purity NdPr oxide at Energy Fuels' White Mesa Mill in Utah. The White Mesa Mill is the only facility in North America currently licensed and capable of producing high-purity REOs from monazite.

Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, unveiled its new IQ Bidirectional EV Charger architecture for vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability. The charger connects to the direct current (DC) port of the electric vehicle (EV) and lets homeowners charge their EV, power their home seamlessly during outages, and share energy with the grid – all managed through the Enphase App.

The IQ Bidirectional EV Charger only needs to be paired with the IQ Meter Collar for a simple, powerful configuration that delivers home backup and grid services. The system is designed to be cost-effective, easy to install, and compatible with most home electrical setups. Homeowners can start with just the charger and meter collar for the basic configuration and then expand over time by adding Enphase solar and batteries to build a complete energy system. Watch an overview video of the charger in action and read the white paper to learn more. Here are some of the key features of the charger:

• Bidirectional power with innovative technology: Targeted to support 400 V and 800 V EVs, and deliver up to 11.5 kW of bidirectional power, leveraging GaN-based grid-forming microinverters.
• Black start for total resilience: Designed to power up a de-energized home during an outage by simply plugging in the EV, providing critical backup power when homeowners need it most.
• AI-powered energy management: Designed to maximize savings by optimizing charging and discharging using real-time electricity rates, solar production forecasts, and grid conditions.
• Standards support: Expected to comply with global standards including UL 9741, UL 3141, UL 1741 SB, ISO 15118-20, OCPP 2.1, and IEEE 1547, to allow broad compatibility with current and future vehicles and utility programs worldwide.

“The IQ Bidirectional EV Charger brings the family car into the home energy system,” said Jayant Somani, senior vice president of the digital business unit at Enphase Energy. “It’s simple to install, easy to control, and designed to deliver backup power and the ability to share energy with the grid for homeowners.”

Bidirectional EV chargers come in two types: alternating current (AC), which connect through the home’s wiring and rely on the vehicle’s onboard charger, and DC, which connect directly to the vehicle’s port for faster power transfer and smarter energy control. Enphase expects to offer both, with the IQ Bidirectional EV Charger using the DC design, with the inverter built into the charger rather than the car.

The IQ Bidirectional EV Charger is being designed for global markets and is expected to be available in the second half of 2026.
