STARDUST SOLAR EXPANDS GLOBAL FOOTPRINT WITH FIRST AFRICAN FRANCHISE

Stardust Solar Energy Inc. has, for the first time, expanded into Africa with the award of a national franchise in Zambia. This marks a significant advancement in the company's international expansion, reinforcing the strength and scalability of its business model across emerging markets.

The Zambia franchise has been granted to Megatricity Energy Inc., led by principals Dr. Ochas Kashinge Pupwe, Lee Lewanika Simbeye and Chileshe Mpunga Chilufya, effective Sept. 29, 2025. Under this agreement, Stardust Solar will receive royalties on all business conducted in Zambia and will oversee the distribution and importation of solar products into the country.

"Expanding into Africa represents a transformative milestone for Stardust Solar," said Mark Tadros, founder and chief executive officer. "Zambia's strong solar potential and increasing energy demand create ideal conditions for our proven franchise model. Our team will provide comprehensive training, engineering support and operational expertise to help deliver reliable solar, storage and EV charging solutions to homes and businesses across the country."

Across Africa, solar projects are typically large in scale and often backed by third party or institutional investors, creating strong opportunities for infrastructure growth and meaningful collaboration. With Zambia as its launchpad, Stardust Solar aims to extend its technology, systems and brand excellence into additional regions as part of its long-term vision for continental growth.

"Zambia has tremendous solar capacity and an urgent need for dependable energy," said Dr. Ochas Pupwe, chief executive officer of Megatricity Energy. "With Stardust Solar's brand strength, systems and training, we are ready to build a resilient and scalable business that creates skilled jobs, delivers real cost savings and accelerates Africa's clean-energy transformation."

Stardust Solar's community-based training and education engagements in Africa have helped accelerate awareness of renewable energy and establish community trust. These initiatives fostered early awareness of solar opportunities and built local capacity, underscoring the company's dedication to ethical leadership and sustainable development.

Through its proven franchise model, Stardust Solar provides comprehensive preopening and continuing support, including training, marketing, engineering and operational guidance to ensure every franchise maintains the same standards of quality, safety and customer satisfaction that define the company's reputation.

Following rapid growth across Canada and the United States, where Stardust Solar designs and installs solar PV, energy storage and EV (electric vehicle) charging systems, entry into the African market marks the beginning of a new era of international scalability, sustainable investment and brand expansion.
