Solar Alliance Provides Preliminary Results for U.S. Solar Operations

Profitability Reached for the month of December


VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - February 01, 2017) - Solar Alliance Energy, Inc. ('Solar Alliance') or (the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: SAN)(OTCQB: SAENF) is pleased to provide preliminary results for the Company's California solar operations for the month ended December 31, 2016. While the Company will record a loss for Q4, it is pleased to announce it will record a profit of approximately $54,226 for the month of December. The positive cash flow result for December is a direct result of the work completed over the course of 2016 to reduce costs and increase margins from residential solar sales.

"Solar Alliance ended 2016 with strong results for the month of December, as we achieved profitability for the month," said Chairman and CEO Jason Bak. "Throughout the second half of 2016, we were focused on improving our sales margins and streamlining the installation process. These initiatives have resulted in faster build times and increased profit per residential solar sale."

The following unaudited results for the Solar Alliance U.S. operations are subject to the completion of Solar Alliance's quarterly closing and review procedures, as well as the regular annual audit by the company's independent registered public accounting firm, and are therefore subject to change. The results noted below for the month of December, 2016 are in U.S. dollars.

The Company continues to make positive progress on the transaction, announced on January 17, 2017 to sell an interest in various wind assets for $1.35 million to Concord Green Energy. The sale of the wind assets will leave Solar Alliance with an 85% ownership in the Wildmare Wind Energy Project, and solidify the Company's balance sheet as we expand our U.S. solar operations. Further details regarding the plan of arrangement will be provided when a definitive Transaction Agreement is reached with Concord.
