**Exhibit 99.1**

**Ideal Power Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 <br> Financial Results**

**AUSTIN, TX – March 2, 2023** -- <u>Ideal Power Inc</u>. ("Ideal Power" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: IPWR), pioneering the development and commercialization of the highly efficient and broadly patented B-TRAN™ bidirectional semiconductor power switch, reported results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

"Ideal Power accomplished a great deal in 2022 and early 2023. The recent launch of our first commercial product, the <u>SymCool™ Power Module</u>, marks a pivotal development for our B-TRAN™ technology," said Dan Brdar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ideal Power. "Our intense focus continues toward B-TRAN™ commercialization. We believe B-TRAN™ has the potential to displace conventional power semiconductor solutions in many applications including electric vehicles (EV"), renewable energy, energy storage, solid-state circuit breakers and motor drives."

**Key Fourth Quarter and Recent Operational Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Launched
 its first commercial product, the <u>SymCool™ Power Module</u>, a multi-die B-TRAN™
 module designed specifically to enable solid-state circuit breakers to deliver very low conduction
 losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Entered into a product development agreement with a top 10 global automaker
for a custom B-TRAN™ power module for use in EV drivetrain inverters in the automaker's next generation EV platform. Represents
Ideal Power's second engagement with a leading global automobile manufacturer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Shipped additional B-TRAN™ devices to Diversified Technologies, Inc.,
our Naval Sea Systems Command program collaboration partner, in preparation for a full-scale medium voltage direct current circuit breaker
demonstration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· To prepare for commercial product shipments,
the Company is nearing completion of a full process flow engineering run at a wafer fabrication partner with high-volume production capability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Released
 a new Ideal Power whitepaper entitled *<u>B-TRAN™ - Device Structure, Performance and Applications</u>* . The test results in the new
 whitepaper match the Company's previous simulation data, further validating the B-TRAN™
 technology. This whitepaper includes recent test results using the Company's newly
 designed driver and double-sided cooled packaged devices. It shows switching characteristics
 and waveforms important for customer technical teams using double pulse testing, including
 testing in bidirectional mode.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· B-TRAN™ Patent Estate: Currently at 72 issued B-TRAN™ patents
with 31 of those issued outside of the United States and 24 pending B-TRAN™ patents. Current geographic coverage includes North
America, China, Japan, South Korea, India and Europe.

**Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Grant revenue was $16,608 in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $128,605
in the fourth quarter of 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Grant revenue was $203,269 for the full year 2022 compared to $576,399 for
the full year 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $2.0 million compared
to $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 driven primarily by higher research and development spending.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Operating expenses in the full year 2022 were $7.3 million compared to $4.8
million in the full year 2021 with higher research and development spending accounting for a majority of the increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $1.9 million compared to $1.4
million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Net loss in the full year 2022 was $7.2 million compared to $4.8 million
in the full year 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Cash used in operating activities in full year 2022 was $6.4 million compared
to $4.3 million in full year 2021. Overall, cash burn for the full year 2022 was $6.8 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.3 million at December 31, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Ideal Power had no long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2022.

**2023 Milestones**

For 2023, the Company has set the following milestones:

· Launched
 first commercial product, the <u>SymCool™ Power Module</u>, in January 2023 with first
 commercial sales later in 2023.
