West Seneca, New York, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) (“Worksport” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors, is excited to announce a major update on its innovative, much anticipated, nano-grid system, known as “SOLIS & COR.” This system includes the SOLIS solar tonneau cover and the COR portable energy system. The plan to bring this system to market is strategically arranged in three phases: Alpha release, Beta release, and full-scale market launch. The Alpha release phase has been initiated, with approximately 100 systems set for rigorous testing and public exposure during this initial market release.

SOLIS & COR Launch Phases:

Alpha Release: In this pivotal testing and media spotlight phase, Worksport will rigorously assess the SOLIS and COR systems across various conditions, ensuring they surpass our engineering team's high standards. This stage will generate invaluable user feedback, driving enhancements and strengthening our market position. Additionally, Worksport will present these cutting-edge products to key influencers and media outlets, amplifying our brand presence. The Company is also planning a live media and investor teach-in day, with details to be revealed in the coming weeks.

Beta Release: In this phase, Worksport will release machine manufactured units to initial preorder customers. This stage aims to solidify market validation and ignite a robust commercial production strategy, positioning Worksport for a strong entry into the market. Worksport will provide an update on the pre-order system for this highly anticipated SOLIS and COR system later this year.

Market Release: Worksport is tapping into a fast-growing, multi-billion-dollar market with its COR Portable Energy System and SOLIS Solar Tonneau Cover. The global portable power station market is rapidly forming with an increased appetite for off-grid power and clean energy. Worksport is positioning itself to challenge the leading competitor, which is said to be growing at 300% annually with over $1 billion in projected yearly sales. Worksport believes the COR battery system will come at competitive price points with a product the Company believes to be superior.

Furthermore, Worksport believes it has a unique advantage with its first-to-market, patented SOLIS Solar Tonneau Cover being a perfect complement to the COR system. Worksport is strategically positioned to penetrate the multibillion-dollar tonneau cover market, which is expanding at a CAGR of 8.6%, by leveraging superior cost efficiency and American innovation. Worksport believes it is well-positioned to capture market share. Worksport recently announced record-high revenues of $1.2 million for August 2024, following a 274% revenue increase in Q2 2024 from Q1 2024. The Company expects to continue its strong growth.

Worksport expects to finish the Alpha release rollout and initiate the early stages of the beta release within 2024. Projecting rapid growth and cash flow positivity within 2025, the Company will continue to provide rolling updates on product and sales developments.

COR: Portable Energy Storage with Versatility and Power

The modular COR portable energy system is designed to store and deliver power wherever needed. With a capacity of 1500Wh per battery and hot-swap technology, the COR system offers uninterrupted power for a wide range of applications. Whether it's providing a last-mile EV range extension or powering tools and appliances at a worksite or campsite, COR is the ultimate mobile energy solution. Initial COR tests have demonstrated the system's ability to outperform existing portable power solutions on the market. It has shown superior performance, especially in extreme temperatures, and it successfully handled 2000W nonlinear load tests with high-powered appliances, such as microwaves and air compressors. Its versatility positions Worksport as a leader in this rapidly growing sector.

The COR system is also expected to function as an electric vehicle (EV) range extender in future releases, offering an additional energy source to extend the range of EVs.

When paired with the SOLIS solar cover, the COR system becomes a mobile nano-grid, capable of charging in as little as 3.5 hours in optimal conditions. This combination offers a reliable, off-grid power source that is not only practical but also environmentally friendly. Steven Rossi previously stated “The COR and SOLIS systems function together as a powerful cleantech nano-grid, on a sunny day generating more than 4,000Wh of clean energy daily. That's equivalent to fully charging up to 45 iPhones per hour.”

SOLIS & MPPT: A Breakthrough in Solar Energy Vehicles and Beyond

The SOLIS solar tonneau cover is the world's first folding solar tonneau cover, combining robust design and solar technology to provide up to 650 watts of clean energy. This innovative product not only protects your truck bed but also transforms any compatible pickup truck into a mobile power station. It is the perfect solution for pickup truck owners, outdoor enthusiasts, and worksites.

The Company offers a wide range of truck bed models for major brands like Chevrolet/GMC, Jeep, Ram, Ford, Nissan, and Toyota. Selection is targeted to include models from 1999 to 2024, allowing the Company to cater to various needs, from older vehicles to the latest electric pickup trucks.

The SOLIS solar cover integrates seamlessly with Worksport's proprietary Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, ensuring optimal energy harvesting and efficient charging. The MPPT solar charger is a vital component that bridges the Worksport SOLIS and COR systems, optimizing power output by continuously seeking the maximum power point from solar panels. This solar charger is intended to be compatible with a wide range of power storage products, including batteries from 12V to 48V and power stations up to 60V.

USA Production Hub for the SOLIS Cover

Worksport’s state-of-the-art facility in West Seneca, New York, is primed to be the production powerhouse for the highly anticipated SOLIS Cover. Already the manufacturing base for our Made-in-America AL3 tonneau cover line, this advanced facility boasts a robust production capacity, strategically positioning the Company to meet and exceed the market demand for the SOLIS cover and other groundbreaking products in the pipeline. In a testament to its significance and potential of economic value, the facility was recently awarded a substantial multi-year grant of up to $2.8 million from the State of New York, underscoring the state’s confidence in Worksport’s innovative trajectory.
