Meet Our Team

Hello StartEngine Investors,

These heat waves are super intense... 

The highest temperatures ever recorded were in the last few days. First up the Pacific Northwest, then in Southern California. With record-breaking heat and increased storm intensity comes the need to take action, ask tough questions, and invest in clean technology.

 It is hard not to see these weather extremes and not think of atmospheric carbon/global warming. With that it's important to note that solar powered products fight against climate change, because once created, they do not produce carbon emissions.  GoSun uses best in industry refrigerants that are nearly 400 times cleaner than industry standard.

Plus, GoSun's products are simply better than their carbon intense predecessors. 

Solar Freezer Market

Meanwhile, an interesting trend is developing in the refrigeration industry that is helping to answer both customer needs and climate change concerns.  The global solar freezer market is targeted to hit over $15 Billion by 2030.  This industry has become GoSun's bread and butter over the past few years as we grow sales and market share in portable solar fridges.

Refrigeration is an interesting topic, especially at a time when vaccines are needed to be maintained at a perfect temperature and transported to the far reaches of the world.  In many places, access to refrigeration is very limited and ice is also out of the question.  While some are looking at expensive, complex solutions to these problems, when combined with GoSun's portable solar energy solutions, an off-grid fridge is very accessible.  

GoSun Chillest Raises over $930K on Indiegogo

Since May, we've pre-sold over 1,000 new solar fridges and broken the record for the most successful crowdfunded fridge/cooler of all time.  GoSun is planning to fulfill these pre-orders at the end of the summer/early fall.  

 No company has been able to marry solar energy to power products better than GoSun.  With this track record of launching innovations, GoSun is making its mark, winning over customers and tech enthusiasts by building better tools.  

and, this is just the beginning, the tip of the iceburg, the foot in the door...

We hope you'll be around for the longer, deeper conversation as we transition to more independent, resilient, solar living.  

For a brighter future,

Patrick and the GoSun Team

Hello StartEngine Investors,

As the full swing of summer gets going, GoSun is firing on all cylinders (...that's a fuel-free engine).  Inventory is flowing like a river as our team paddles downstream, navigating rapids, welcoming new side streams and gaining more experience on a growing volume.  Global trends in outdoor recreation, preparedness and sustainability have aligned to deepen the canyon as the GoSun river makes its mark in history.  Let's Paddle On!

More People with Solar Power

Our mission is simple.  We want people to have more independence and resilience so we create portable solar power solutions that are better than today’s typical appliances.  No compromise of convenience or performance required, plus with GoSun, you’re not creating waste or emissions in the process of cooking, cooling, charging, etc.  

Solar is great to help fuel the fun, but it is also there when you need it.  In fact, a massive thunderstorm just hit our headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio and this message is being written on solar power stored within a portable lithium ion powerbank.  Constantly testing new products, everyone in the office was hand delivered a powerbank by our lead engineer within minutes of the utility outage.  

Chillest Solar Cooler Pre-Sale Ends Today

Over 1,000 Backers and almost $900,000 in pre-sales, GoSun’s latest and greatest solar cooler has crushed it on Indiegogo over the past six weeks. If you ever wanted to try our technology, now is the time.  Scroll other updates below to see more details about this innovation or visit the Indiegogo campaign before prices increase tomorrow, July 2nd.

Here are our Chillest VIP deals just for investors:

• Base Chillest Bundle 
• Chillest ProPack with Elbow Solar Table
• Chillest Ultimate with Elbow Solar Table, Speakers, Power 266, and Umbrella 

Declare your Energy Independence this 4th of July

It may seem impossible to cook food, keep the drinks cool, and clean up after the party, all without tapping into gas, ice, and water resources. But with GoSun, you can do it all without relying on grid power or burning resources.

At GoSun, we build amazing solar powered appliances so you don’t have to deal with fire, ice and resupply trips. Since our products are solar powered, they’re perfect for this weekend’s cookout. 

Four Products to Improve your Outdoor Experience:

1. Sizzle Solar Oven 

The Sizzle solar oven is just the thing for you to whip up some hot, yummy grub outdoors. Even if the sky is overcast, your Sizzle can still cook a full meal. Its innovative vacuum tube technology can cook, boil, steam, bake, or roast food at temperatures over 600°F.

Even though this oven is considered large, it is still light enough to easily fit it into the back of your car or truck. Transport it to a park or another house, and bring the sun food fun with you! 

2. Go Portable Solar Oven 

For an even more portable solution, try out Go portable solar oven. This little baby weighs only 2 pounds - 2 pounds! Each load in the vacuum tube and cooking tray feeds 1-2 people, and cook time is about 20-30 minutes. This makes it the perfect oven for a small gathering or for whipping up some warm sides at your 4th of July shindig. 

The greatest part about this product is there’s no need to bring your own generator or find an outlet to plug it in. That’s because it’s completely solar powered. No matter where you go, as long as you have an outdoor space and daylight, you can keep on cooking with the Go. 

3. Chill Solar Cooler 

Ever heard of a portable cooler that didn’t need ice? The Chill solar cooler uses the power of the sun to keep the entire unit nice and chill. That means no matter where your 4th of July celebration is located - in the backyard, at the beach, at the park, or wherever - your favorite food and beverages will stay cold. 

4. Flow Solar Water Purifier + Sanitation System 

A cookout is fun, but it can also be messy, thirst inducing work putting it all together. Hauling water is difficult, and the plastic containers are a strain on the environment. As an alternative, why not use whatever water source is available to you - lake, river, or rain - and purify it to make it clean enough to drink? 

It’s for this purpose that we developed the Flow solar water purifier + sink. This solar powered device is small enough to fit in a backpack, it can filter and pump 100 gallons of water. Our three-stage filter system removes 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and cysts, so that the water you end up using is safe for washing hands and dishes, and even for drinking. 

Cooking out this 4th of July without burning resources doesn’t have to be a head-scratcher. Try our solar-powered appliances today! 

For a brighter future,

Patrick and the GoSun Team

Hello StartEngine Investors,

The world is changing.  With more information at our fingertips, people are growing in awareness and many are working to create a healthier future that is not reliant on fossil fuels. At GoSun, we are not trying to throw out our old ways or create villains, but we want society to move forward with new and better ways that are more in tune with available resources and thus more likely to result in abundance, independence, and resilience. 

Cars and trucks are going electric, utility grids are going with solar and wind, and now, with awareness of the many disadvantages of natural gas, many are moving to other energy sources for cooking and heating. Recently, the State of California has began outlawing natural gas for new homes because gas has more disadvantages than benefits.

3 Reasons why we are moving away from Natural Gas

1. Gas is a major pollutant - although it is one of the cleaner fossil fuels, natural gas is a huge contributor to global emissions, it accounted for an estimated 36% of US carbon emissions in 2020 (see Bloomberg article below)
2. Gas is unhealthy - emissions from burning gas are toxic and many don't have adequate ventilation to maintain safe air quality inside their homes
3. Gas is a long term trap - once a building is plumbed with gas it will be consuming gas for decades with no ability to improve, unlike the electrical grid and appliances that are getting cleaner and more efficient over time 

Research about the transition away from gas with these articles:

1. How the Fossil Fuel Industry Convinced Americans to Love Gas Stoves
   1. "they’ve urged us not to think too hard—if at all—about what it means to combust a fossil fuel in our homes."
   2. "I talked to one scientist who studied indoor air quality for decades and she said, without ventilating your home, you’re basically living in a toxic soup."
2. Are Americans Willing To Drop Gas Cooking To Cut Back On Carbon Emissions?
3. Is Your Gas Stove Destroying the Planet?

How do we replace gas?

The transition away from fossil fuels is not as hard as you may think. At GoSun, we believe that the Sun really is the answer, and since we all want resilience and independence, we make appliances that run on the Sun, plus they can run on AC and DC electricity.   Today’s technology allows GoSun to build fossil free alternatives that do not compromise performance or convenience when compared to traditional appliances.  

You may already know, Tesla is the most valuable car company in the world.  Just a little older than GoSun, they too have never designed or built a product to run on fossil fuels.  The reasons for Tesla’s explosive growth are many but the reality is that their cars are just way better than gas cars.  GoSun's portable solar powered products are way better than traditional products that rely on a constant supply of resources.

Why electric cars and appliances are better than traditional gas versions?

1. Electric is cleaner and healthier - loads convert electricity at much higher efficiency than internal combustion engines can convert carbon, one large point source of pollution is much easier to manage than a bunch of emission sources everywhere (the smaller the gas engine, the dirtier the emissions)
2. Electric is abundant and safe - utility power is ubiquitous with power lines and safety controls already in place so end users are both served and protected, plus you can make your own solar electricity anywhere you go (good luck making your own fossil fuel)
3. Electric is getting better - appliances, controls and motors are getting more efficient and the national grid is getting smarter and cleaner (more solar and wind) with each year

Our Biggest New Product Launch Ever

GoSun’s latest is an iceless solar cooler packed with fun features that has raised over $700,000 from +800 Backers in less than one month.  

Tomorrow (6/10/21 by Midnight PDT) is the final chance to pre-order at the lowest prices. 

Coolers are a pain in the ICE

Who likes sandwiches getting soggy and smashed? How is it that everything inside your cooler gets destroyed and stinky?  Why do we tolerate over 50% of our cooler's volume consumed by frozen water?  Good luck finding anything in that melty iceburg before your hand goes numb.

How about a cooler without ice?  

GoSun wanted a cooler that made its own ice and had so much fun built into it that we would look for excuses to get outside and enjoy it.  So, we created the GoSun Chillest…..

Temp Control in Two Zones

The Chillest is a complete redesign of what a cooler can be.  First, you’ve got a built in compressor to set the temperature right where you want it.  And with two zones, you can keep ice cream on one side and veggies on the other.  With temp. control, and a built in battery, you can have the coldest beer in camp, or become a hero anytime, anywhere. Time to say goodbye to soggy sandwiches and resupply trips to the gas station.  

Modern Power and Controls

Coolers got fancy in the past couple years but they are not making anything easier.  The Chillest brings you into the 21st century with built in battery to charge your devices, lights inside to find what you’re looking for and a smartphone App so you can relax.  A battery and solar upgrade gives you days of refrigeration and charging for all your devices.  

Travel Ready

One of the biggest hassles of outdoor fun is hauling your gear back and forth.  Coolers are rarely designed to for anything but back problems, so we combined large wheels with a sturdy, telescoping handle for pulling. Bungees and tie-downs lock your load so you can carry everything in just one trip.  Plus, Chillest itself is built to go anywhere you go: Vanlife, RV, boat, beach, etc.

Stay Organized

How about being organized when you’re outdoors?  The Chillest becomes the center of your outing with plenty of storage for devices (EVA pouch), removable baskets to organize food and drinks, a cutting board and a place for your waste/recycling (trash clips).  

Bluetooth Speakers

And what’s a party without some music?  The optional bluetooth speakers kick out amazing sound, while connecting to your smartphone from up to 50 feet away.  You may want to pack some extra drinks for the neighbors.

Stay Cooler

The Sun is very good to us, but since coolers like the shade, GoSun added an optional umbrella that plugs into the Chillest and creates an oasis of Chill.  The umbrella stands alone or can be held in the attachment that also fits the optional solar panel.

Is that a Solar Table? 

What’s missing from your hangout?  How about a swiveling table to play cards, serve food or use as a desk?  oh, and we’re making that out of a 20watt solar panel, plus we have a 120watt portable table, so you can recharge your Chillest during the day and keep it going indefinitely.  

Full Solar Kitchen

Those of you who know GoSun, know we deliver. You may also want to integrate the Chillest into a Solar Kitchen, where you’ll have the ability to cook, cool, clean, purify, and brew, with our breakthrough technology.

Save Money and Time

If you were to go out and buy all the gear we packed into the Chillest, it would cost you well over $1,000. That doesn’t include the long term debt and worry about buying the next bag of ice. By backing this campaign, you can be one of the first people in the world with a cooler that actually cools.

And instead of making you work, the Chillest works for you. 

Ending tomorrow, check out the Indiegogo campaign here.

Hello Investors,

There are moments in our lives when we know, 

we are in the right place and it is the right time. 

Everything is trending up for GoSun as we scale up from our strong roots.  The COVID pandemic brought a mix of emotions, successes and failures, but it seems 2020 allowed GoSun to catch a groove.  That momentum is attributed to a bunch of factors, thus creating a new reality moving forward.  You are a part of that Solar Future.  

Here are several of the trends that have created GoSun's short and long-term success:

• Outdoor Recreation is going nuts, just look at everybody that's at the trailhead or campground these days
• Preparedness kicked in, even amongst the mainstream, because we all have to admit that toilet paper is important 
• Global Cooperation earned a new degree of respect and importance, setting forth a dialog to begin addressing Climate Change, together
• Backyard fun and micro vacations instead of giant blowouts to Disney World, made our proximal surrounding more important
• E-Commerce got completely justified, necessary and often superior to shopping in store

GoSun's leadership team has been working toward this moment for many decades.  Our focus in renewable energy, energy storage, electric vehicles and efficiency is beginning to pay off as the entire world shifts focus away from the old carbon-based economy.  

The Future Will Be Solar Powered 

Unlike most solar companies competing for rooftops, government incentives and regulatory permissions, GoSun is focused on portable and durable products that meet everyone's essential needs, like cooking, cooling, cleaning, and purifying water. We have something for everyone to experience the real power of the Sun.  

Just like Tesla is a better car, people buy GoSun products because they are more efficient, more useful, and much easier:

• We cook without fuel, smoke, or fire
• We keep food and drinks cold without ice
• We charge our cell phones and laptops only with the energy from the Sun
• We brew coffee without a stove - because we want to keep you going strong
• We purify water with only sunshine
• We make people's outdoor lives easier and more efficient
