Recent Canadian Policy Developments and Forecasted $200B Clean-Power Investment Support Market Conditions for Stardust Solar

Stardust Solar Energy Inc. (TSXV: SUN) (OTCQB: SUNXF) (FSE: 6330) reports that recent forecasts for clean-power additions, together with the relaunch of the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP), indicate continued demand for residential and small-commercial solar across Canada. The Company maintains an installation network and accredited training and certification programs, placing it in a strong position to respond to this demand.

A recent report by the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) together with Dunsky Energy projects more than $200 billion in investment for clean power across Canada by 2035, largely driven by rising electricity demand. Wind and solar are expected to supply a dominant share of new generating capacity, especially in provinces like British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes, as barriers to renewable energy loosen. (Source: Canada's National Observer, September 17, 2025.)

Meanwhile, CGHAP has been relaunched with a direct-install model that removes upfront costs for low- and median-income households. Provinces and territories will deliver the program locally. The first implementation agreement is in Manitoba, where $29.8 million in federal funding is matched by provincial contribution to deliver energy efficiency retrofits including insulation, air sealing, and heat pumps. (Source: CBC News, September 12, 2025.)

Implications for Stardust Solar

As a licensed provider of solar PV installations and renewable energy training, Stardust Solar, together with its franchisees, may benefit from these policy developments. The Company's franchise network and certified professionals are well aligned with the local delivery model of CGHAP. In addition, its training and certification programs — recognized for meeting national standards (CSA, NABCEP) — help ensure that qualified installers are available for retrofits and solar system installations.

Outlook

With clean energy procurement pipelines increasing, the national rollout of CGHAP, and rising electricity demand, market conditions in Canada are supportive of solar and energy-efficient retrofit solutions. Stardust Solar plans to expand its reach in high-potential provinces, increasing installations of residential retrofits as well as distributed solar and storage projects. The Company will continue to work closely with its franchisees and certified professionals to deliver on this growing demand.
