As previously disclosed, on June 5, 2026, SUNation
Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SUNation”), SUNation Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary
of SUNation (“Merger Sub”), and Suniva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Suniva”), entered into an Agreement and

On November 10, 2026, Suniva issued a press release

production expected in late 2027 and full production ramp in 2028. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report
on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference, except that the information contained on the websites referenced in the press
release is not incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1

UPDATE: SUNIVA BEGINS EXPANSION TO INCREASE
U.S. SOLAR CELL CAPACITY TO 5.5 GW
New 4.5 GW South Carolina facility backed
by September’s $835 million financing; Expects initial production in late 2027 and full ramp in 2028
NORCROSS, GA, NOVEMBER 10, 2026 – Suniva, the oldest U.S.
merchant manufacturer of high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells (“Suniva” or the “Company”), today announced
that construction is underway on its new 4.5 GW solar cell manufacturing facility in Laurens County, South Carolina. The approximately
$600 million project is expected to increase Suniva’s total U.S. manufacturing capacity to 5.5 GW, up from 1 GW today, with initial
production expected in late 2027 and full production ramp in 2028.
Construction Advances U.S. Expansion
As previously announced, the shell of the 621,468 square foot building
is complete. DPR Construction began the interior buildout in late September 2026 and is progressing with selective demolition and concrete
work in advance of cleanroom installation, while procurement of the major mechanical, electrical and structural packages advances. The
project is expected to be fully funded with cash on hand and Suniva’s previously announced $835 million debt and equity financing
closed in early September 2026, subject in the case of credit facilities to satisfaction of funding conditions from time to time. The
project is currently on schedule for first production in late 2027, with full production ramp expected in 2028.
The new Laurens County facility will add 4.5 GW of high-efficiency
monocrystalline silicon solar cell capacity to Suniva’s existing 1 GW facility in Norcross, Georgia, bringing Suniva’s total U.S.
cell capacity to 5.5 GW. The expansion builds on Suniva’s existing commercial-scale manufacturing operations and is expected to
create approximately 560 new advanced manufacturing jobs in South Carolina’s Upstate region, with hiring for technical and facilities
support roles expected to begin in early 2027.
The expansion is further supported by a supply chain already in place
and long-term offtake agreements with leading U.S. solar companies covering the majority of the Company’s planned production through 2030.
“Our team continues to execute on Suniva’s growth strategy,
while helping drive long-term U.S. energy independence,” said Tony Etnyre, CEO of Suniva. “Our focus is bringing our new Laurens
County facility online on schedule as we move from our current 1 GW of U.S. solar cell capacity to 5.5 GW, giving U.S. solar companies
the domestic cell supply they need to grow. The U.S. has built far more module assembly capacity than cell capacity, and this facility
takes aim at that gap. We continue to make progress toward our proposed reverse merger with SUNation Energy and look forward to leveraging
the strength of the combined company as we scale.”
Suniva announced on June 8, 2026 that it signed a definitive reverse
merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Suniva will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of SUNation Energy,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNE) (“SUNation”), a leading provider of residential and commercial solar energy systems, battery storage solutions,
and comprehensive energy services. The proposed business combination between SUNation and Suniva, upon consummation, would result in Suniva
becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of SUNation, with the combined company expected to be known as Suniva Inc. and be listed on Nasdaq
under the ticker symbol “SUNV”.
