Powerful Solar Oven Market Growth Projected

3 days ago

Solar Cooker Market Boom

A new independent study expects solar cooker market will register a spike in revenue over the next seven years. GoSun is a global leader in fuel-free cooking with patented innovative technology that competitors lust after. In a short time period, our vacuum insulated ovens have leap-frogged existing technology and became the world's first solar oven to enter mainstream markets in the developed world.

New GoSun Sport-E Cooks At Night

To further separate GoSun from the solar cooking competition, we have hybridized our vacuum tube solar ovens so they are dual fuel: solar and 12 volt electric. Campstoves, grills and other fuel dependent contraptions require too much attention. In terms of cooking capabilities, convenience and portability the Sport-E is unrivaled.

Last week's product launch is off to a good start, with over $40K in pre-sales and 140 Backers. The Kickstarter campaign runs until the end of the month to get Early Bird pricing.

40 Days of Sunshine

In 2018, our founder, Patrick Sherwin, embarked on a brave journey to prove the enormous power of solar cooking. He only ate food that was cooked on a solar oven for 40 straight days. To make things worse (..or think more exciting), the experiment lasted through a dark, icy cold Midwestern winter and he was not allowed to eat raw foods or drink nourishment. The whole journey was captured via video and posted daily to Youtube.

Camp365 and GoSun, now building an Off-Grid Solar Camper

At GoSun we create solar appliances that help people live with more independence and resilience and we have always wanted to put our technology on wheels. Now, that is actually happening. Thanks to a joint venture with AWOL Outdoors Inc. dba CAMP365, we are creating a solar powered, self contained independent travel trailer.

Awol and GoSun, two StartEngine companies agree to increase our joint venture partnership via a stock swap. Each company has agreed to purchase $50,000 of stock from the other. The companies believe in the long term value of each other and see a huge opportunity to grow in the RV Industry.

CEO's, Kevin McGregor (Camp365) and Patrick Sherwin (GoSun), shake hands during an August trip to the AWOL production facility. The GoSun Camp 365 takes less than 10 minutes to unfold into a roomy off-grid cabin. It expands to a 100 square foot, 700 cubic foot cabin that is seven feet six inches tall. With living areas indoors and out, it’s complete with all the independent systems one would want and need: cooking, refrigeration, off-grid power, kitchen sink, hot shower, and more.

Coping With VUCA

15 days ago

We live in an era of VUCA

Volatility
Uncertainty
Complexity
Ambiguity

At GoSun, our mission is GOOD ENERGY.

You won't hear us spew threats or overplay on your fears in the VUCA era. However, we are watching the world get less stable and we feel it's important to take action where possible. Thankfully, every product we design at GoSun serves a dual purpose:

enjoying the great outdoors
building resilience and independence

"ALWAYS BE PREPARED"

This timeless demand has fallen on many deaf ears during the era of VUCA, but it is getting more relevant with each passing day. We are now, clearly witnessing the affects of global climate change, plus societal pressures seems to be bubbling up to the streets. To make things worse, these new studies say U.S. grid is less reliable and not designed to withstand the impacts of climate change.

Clearly, it's time to go solar

The Sun comes up everyday and showers us with good energy. GoSun is focused on building portable and durable products that run on solar power and meet your essential needs, like cooking, cooling, cleaning, and purifying water. We have something for everyone to experience the joy and real power of the Sun, and when SHTF ($h!t hits the fan), GoSun will be there for you.

Cool food and drinks cold without ice
Charge our cell phones and laptops only with the energy from the Sun
Brew coffee without a stove - because we want to keep you going strong
Purify water with only sunshine
Cool yourself without heavy A/C power demands
Heat yourself without fire, propane, or large power demands

Our Top Selling Powerbank, Power144 is currently on sale here. This two pound lithium ion battery can:

From High Noon's recent Instagram post,

"We're giving away the first-ever High Noon Tailgate Cooler, powered by the Sun. In layman's terms: no ice necessary. Which means more space for your High Noons."

Bring the Sun to your next tailgate

Highlights Below from High Noon's Press Release from Modesto, Calif., August 24, 2022

Spirit of Gallo’s High Noon, the #1 selling spirit-based hard seltzer, is kicking off college football tailgating season with the release of a limited-edition High Noon Tailgate Pack, as well as a sweepstakes for the first-ever High Noon Tailgate Cooler (a customized GoSun Chill).

High Noon, made with real vodka and real juice, believes in always living like the sun is out, especially as the days get chillier this fall. To add a bit more sunshine to the tailgate experience, the Tailgate Pack features two new flavors - Pear and Cranberry, as well as fan favorites Black Cherry and Grapefruit.

“High Noon is focused on elevating the hard seltzer category and encouraging fans to trade up their hard seltzer options and experiences,” said Brandon Lieb, VP of Spirits at Gallo. “The debut of the Tailgate Pack, along with the High Noon Solar-Powered Cooler, is the perfect way to kick off one of the best parts of fall, and give our fans the most premium tailgate experience.”

Ukraine Relief Donation of Solar Coolers

23 days ago

Power to the People

This war is so upsetting. It exemplifies many of the major battles we fight everyday: Autocracy Vs Democracy, Fossil Fuels Vs Clean Technology, concentration of power and greed Vs a more diverse, lateral power structure governed/owned by many. The invasion has sparked a realization for Europe and the rest of the world:

move away from fossil fuels or remain dependent on petrocrats.

At GoSun, we try to do what we can when we can. Helping out in Ukraine became a lot easier thanks to our friends at Backpacks For Kids. They connected GoSun with the new non-proift, Ukraine Air Rescue. An organization founded by retired private pilots. Their goal is to fly medication and supplies to the Ukrainian border quickly and "unbureaucratically" with private planes. From there, helpers take them directly to where they are needed. On the return flight, they bring people in need from Ukraine back to safe countries.

GoSun Solar Coolers Used To Transport Medicine

Through partners mentioned above, GoSun is playing a small part in transporting medicines with our temperature controlled coolers. Temps have been record high in Europe, and these coolers are a must have for the logistics chain partners that provide movement for critical medicines. They have been used almost daily since being donated, in transport vans and airplanes!

Relief flights have been piloted by Jone Bone, who said he woke up one morning and while watching the news, he felt like he needed to do something, anything to help he refugees fleeing the Ukraine. After searching the web, he came across Ukraine Air Rescue, and the wheels starting turning. Flying his Cirrus airplane from Florida to Germany, he now flies a weekly mission into Poland (and places close to Poland) delivering medical supplies, transporting doctors, medical staff, and evacuating patients.

We salute you!

Partnerships Multiply Opportunity

No one can win by themselves

GoSun knows the future will be best for those who collaborate, develop mutual win-wins, and encourage cooperation from many partners. That's why we have been focusing and building on relationships with well established businesses to get more done.

Here is a short list of the companies we have recently worked deals with:

High Noon

Camp365

GoSun has partnered with Camp 365 to launch the first of its class GoSun Camp 365. A one of a kind off-grid cabin on wheels, completely integrated with GoSun products. Our innovative design and incredible appliances allow you to go further than traditional campers & RV’s. Featuring GoSun cooking, cooling, and power producing products all encapsulated within a sleek, rugged, weather-sealed outer shell. The GoSun Camp 365 is guaranteed to add to your overall camping experience.

China Partner

During the last two years, most companies have experiences supply chain problems. GoSun has largely avoided this massive debacle based on our unique relationship with our manufacturing partner. Two years ago, GoSun increased this partnership relationship, and this year increased it even more.

GoSun now owns 20% of the factory, and our Chinese partner also invested in GoSun's stock, so this is a very close relationship. Our success is synonymous with the factory's success; we are much more than just vendor/supplier relationship. Together, we work projections, QC, IP, and improvements to our breakthrough products.

New Solar Cooling Product Release

2 months ago

GoSun Launches a ‘Heat-Relief’ Solar Fan

Too hot? No power? No problem. This Fan keeps you cool with cutting edge solar and motor technology.

Once again, GoSun technology is making solar appliances mainstream.

Meet the GoSun Breeze, our first personal cooling product. Durable and lightweight, with the ability to go anywhere, the Breeze can be powered by solar panels, USB-C, or anything 12 volt.

GoSun’s Innovation Machine has launched several award winning technologies and has been recognized by the likes of CES, FastCo., and the United Nations. The GoSun Fusion, a breakthrough solar oven, won a Climate Change Award, and the GoSun Flow, a water purification and sanitation system won an Innovation Award, both from CTA. Last year the company introduced its newest solar fridge / freezer that never needs ice, and now, a solar fan.

Why It Matters Now

2022 has seen record breaking temperatures worldwide. ‘Heat-relief’ to stay cool has never been a hotter topic! Unfortunately, power consumption to operate cooling appliances puts a strain on supply, plus it’s difficult to access power in portable/remote situations. Staying cool and hydrated on a warming planet is serious business.

In addition to outdoor enthusiasts seeking portable cooling products, ‘heat-relief’ effects people at outdoor events, delivery drivers who suffer without A/C, and often hits when indoors. With current heat waves and continued increase in power outages, the Breeze is a handy product that homeowners can benefit from.

“Sometimes a breeze can mean the difference between getting a good night's sleep, or a long night of tossing and turning,” remarked Patrick Sherwin, GoSun’s CEO. “Air conditioning is incredible, but it’s next to impossible when you don’t have grid power. Everyday, we find scenarios where this mighty, little fan takes the edge off of overheating,” Sherwin continued.

How It Works

The GoSun Breeze is built to be reliable and versatile. A high efficiency, brushless motor allows the fan to run effortlessly and silently. Speed control allows one to accurately adjust the RPM of the large 12 inch fan that blows up to 1,200 CFM, and produces a wind velocity of 8.6 m/s.

With its low power requirements, the Breeze can be powered off any 12 volt power source, such as: 1) directly from solar power (GoSun’s portable solar panels or multi-use solar tables), 2) a car, truck, boat, or RV, or 3) when plugged into one of GoSun’s Powerbanks.

The GoSun Breeze is currently available at GoSun’s website at a special introductory price starting at $59, and a MSRP $99, plus a Breeze Pro package includes a lithium ion powerbank. Watch an informative product video here.

Freedom For The Season

3 months ago

Hello StartEngine,

Wishing you the best in freedom, and superhuman-ness. Go out and get it, build the future you wish to see. The sky is not the limit.

If GoSun can help you on your path, now is a great time to make it happen with up to 30% everything at gosun.co

On Freedom

In GoSun's brand ethos, freedom is at the core. Yet freedom can mean many things. Negative freedom or freedom from is more about avoiding obstacles, restrictions, and interference while getting to what you want. Positive freedom or freedom to is where we get to exercise our willpower, acting with purpose, and agency to become or "actualize" into who we deeply desire.

Here are some ways that GoSun approaches freedom:

Negative freedom or freedom from

ice destroying your food, taking up space, and turning into melted mess
re-supply trips to get more ice, more gas, bottled water, batteries, or charcoal
smoke, stinking up the air, blowing through the party
standing around a hot grill fighting flames to protect your food
desperation during power outages: dead phones, no coffee, no way to cook or cool
being tied to grid power, paying high prices
trapped in over-crowded campgrounds next to busy highways

Positive freedom or freedom to

have the comforts of modern living, anywhere
thrive while off-grid, using just the Sun's power
protect your loved ones during rapid changes
live abundantly with more intention and less burden
have all the power you need, without reliance on others
pick up and go while still meeting essential needs
explore the far reaches of the Earth, humanity, and yourself

Massive Media Attention

Impressive, remarkable innovations receive remarks by top media outlets. We are beside ourselves with joy regarding the coverage earned by the Solar Off-Grid Camper. Launched just one week ago, the new product is off to a great start, turning heads, and making history.

Exciting Time for GoSun

Markets are in flux, Climate Change impacts are increasing, and consumers are more focused on building resilience. GoSun has remained focused on building real product solutions to real problems people face, such as: power outages, cold food storage, clean cooking, water purification, sanitation, brewing hot beverages, and now, portable shelter.

With recession and inflation seeming more obvious everyday, few investors realize that a new opportunity has emerged. Ironically, a bear or bull market has little correlation with private investments available on StartEngine. Just a decade ago, only the wealthiest two percent could reallocate funds into private companies in times of market volatility. But now, you can too.

Join us next Friday to hear all about the GoSun Rocket Ship

You are invited to an exclusive webinar with GoSun, to learn more about how we are creating Good Energy.

GoSun Creates Joint Venture with RV Maker Camp365

4 months ago

Collaboration between Camp365 and GoSun to Develop the World's First Off-Grid Solar RV

At GoSun we create solar appliances that help people live with more independence and resilience. Today we announced a joint venture with AWOL Outdoors Inc. dba CAMP365, to create and introduce our latest product, a solar powered self contained independent travel trailer.

The New GoSun RV will be available later this month

The innovative engineers from Camp365 and GoSun have combined their expertise to offer a trailer which travelers have been waiting for -

Aerodynamic, Self-Sufficient, Solar Powered Trailer

Many outdoor enthusiasts want the freedom of being able to take off and go. The problem with conventional trailers is they are too big, and too heavy. Furthermore, you need large truck just to pull the units, and you have no place to store/park the trailer when you are not using it. GoSun Camp365 is an ultra-lightweight trailer that only weighs 1,500 pounds, so you can tow it with nearly any vehicle, including electric cars, and due to its extremely small footprint when folded down, you can park it anywhere, essentially any normal parking space, including inside a garage.

The GoSun Camp 365 takes less than 10 minutes to unfold into a roomy off-grid cabin. It expands to a 100 square foot, 700 cubic foot cabin that is seven feet six inches tall. With living areas indoors and out, it’s complete with all the independent systems one would want and need: cooking, refrigeration, off-grid power, kitchen sink, hot shower, and more.

Off-Grid Camping Forest Of Your Life

These days, travelers need to book a campground months in advance, and often campsites are over crowded and noisy. Also these campsites are getting expensive, often costing $50 a night and even up to $100 a night with full hookups. Yet there are thousands of places you can park for very low costs or even free, if one did not have to be dependent on power and water hookups. This is the freedom and flexibility that is offered with GoSun Camp365. With the proprietary leveling system, one can set up on a variety of off grid sites, which other campers and tents cannot.

About GoSun and AWOL Outdoors

About GoSun Founded in 2016, GoSun has become the first consumer solar appliance manufacturer to break into mainstream markets centered around enjoying power, food, and drink while outdoors, and is becoming one of the most recognized brands in the solar appliance industry.

Prepared? Introducing GoSun Grid

5 months ago

Unfortunately, insecurity is on the rise.

Water shortages are a real threat in the American West, and power outages have doubled in past two decades. 2022 is the driest year on record in California, so sacrifices will have to be made to adjust and thrive.At GoSun, we don’t like to be alarmist.

If you have food, what good is it if it spoils, or if you don’t have a way to cook it? If you have access to water, what good is it if you can’t drink it or clean with it?

Is it Fulfillment? Peace? Family? God? or Wild Adventures? Whatever it is that keeps you going,

GoSun is here to support you.

With amazing fuel-free products and a great community, we hope you thrive with more independence and resilience.

Get Honest on Fossil Fuel Addiction

Speaking of fuel, living in 2022, it is likely that your mission requires a good amount of fossil fuels to maintain. Let's be honest, our addiction is serious as hydrocarbons run through every facet of life. Below is a summary of an article in resilience.org written by Craig Collins, titled, Petroleum Junkies of the World, Unite.

Power like this is addicting. Your computer, TV, phone, refrigerator, stove, lights, water, and sewage all run on carbon-based energy. Most of the materials used to build your house and furniture were made with hydrocarbons. You can light and heat your home, cook your food, do your laundry, and take a hot shower without ever having to collect and chop wood, haul buckets of water, or even start a fire (GoSun has created methods on meeting these needs with solar power). Even with a host of servants, the great kings and queens of old could not have imagined doing many of the things we can with do with the energy of fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are the most concentrated, versatile, inexpensive energy source ever discovered. Energy is the capacity to do work, and we have harnessed fossil fuels to do unbelievable amounts of it, transforming our Earth. Just one gallon of gas can do as much work as 500 hours of hard human labor. How much would you expect to be paid for 500 hours of hard work? At only $15 an hour, your labor would be worth $7,500 dollars. Now compare that with how much you spend for a gallon of gas. Still upset at the pump?

Fossil fuels are not the villain in this story. Hydrocarbons are a precious gift of fossilized solar energy passed down over eons from the primeval plankton of our planet’s distant past. One gallon of oil contains the condensed, concentrated energy of about 98 tons of the original prehistoric plant life that collected its energy over millennia from the Sun.

We are extremely lucky. We should give fossil fuels a bit more respect, rather than hurrying to burn it all. If used wisely, fossil fuel can afford everyone more time to pursue the endeavors that make our lives more interesting, creative, and fulfilling. However, since fossil fuels are a rapidly vanishing finite resource, one way or another we will eventually kick our addiction.

The real question is are we going to do this the hard way, by postponing our recovery until we hit rock bottom and must endure the extreme trauma of trying to rebuild society on an exhausted and ravaged planet? Or are we going to use our remaining resources to rehabilitate ourselves and restore our communities before we ruin our country and pillage our planet in a frantic search for one final fix?

At GoSun, we choose the path of resilience and abundance.

Supporting Ukraine, Ending Oil Dependency

7 months ago

The Time Is Now

It is time to stop greedy, petro-state aristocrats. It is time to be truly energy independent, with renewable energy from solar, wind, geo, bio, and storage (plus a lot of energy efficiency efforts). It is time to be honest about the science of climate change. It is time to stop living in fear of war, terror, bullies, and power outages. It is time to put our money where our future sustains life on the planet.

Ukriane’s future is in flux now, but we all share a future on this planet we must protect. These acts of fossil fueled aggression must be met with decisive action along a new way of thinking. Instead of sticking to the status quo, it is absolutely time for people, companies, and governments to invest in a clean technology future, freeing up the capital necessary for quickly retooling our energy systems to renewables.

GoSun Brings Portable Power for the People

The transition to a clean, secure, and prosperous future is simple; the aristocrats driving their personal interest are not. Rather than waiting for government leadership to turn the ship toward clean tech., GoSun has been creating real solutions to provide people the access to reliable, highly capable solar products they deserve.

Let's Break Free of Fossil Fuels Now

We applaud the USA for moving away from Russian oil which previously supplied 7% of US oil or some 209,000 barrels a day. With around 40% of Europe's oil and gas imported from Russia, governments are scrambling to find alternatives. European Union ministers met Monday in Brussels to discuss how to break the dependency.

"Every day, the EU spends 350 million euros, which we give to the Russian system, to be able for them to invest in arms, and attack Ukraine." Time to get off of oil and go with GoSun, go solar now!

Sunflowers and Solar Power for Ukraine

The Sunflower is Ukraine's National Flower, so GoSun is now adding two packets of sunflower seeds into every order, while supplies last. 🌻 Plus, over the next 30 days, GoSun will be sending a portion of all order proceeds to GEM to help Ukrainians in this crisis.

Clearly, there are not enough flowers in Russia, but there is enough dirty oil to drive dependence for decades. At GoSun, we seek to end our reliance on fossil fuels (with gratitude for propelling us this far). GoSun is working to accelerate the shift to cleaner, smarter energy sources, thus preventing us from relying on someone or somewhere else for energy.

Since you are a stakeholder in GoSun, we are extending a 15% OFF promotion here when buying anything from us at www.gosun.co Use promo code "INV1522" in the checkout and let's work to build a brighter future.

No Grid Power, No Problem

New Product Launch + Investor Webinar on Feb. 10th

8 months ago

GoSun is hot!

...despite the winter weather sweeping across the nation. We are excited about the Year of the Tiger. It's going to be a big year of change and growth; starting with our very own, Cincinnati Bengals, who are on their way to the Superbowl. This proves change can happen quickly -Bengals went 2-14 in 2019 (2 wins, 14 losses) and 4-11 in 2020.

Here's 5 Ways GoSun is like the Cincinnati Bengals:

Determined - it takes strong beliefs and will power to go from nothing into something
Hard Work - everyone has to show up, communicate, and work towards a common goal, persistence pays
Presence - play by play, day by day, remaining fully connected and aware of the current responsibilities
Surprising - you cannot know what is coming, so you have to be nimble and highly responsive
Optimistic - believing things will get better, even when you are the under dog

Join our Investor Webinar next Thursday

Learn directly from our CEO, Patrick Sherwin, about the latest and greatest on the Fuel-Free Frontier. During this one hour Zoom session, you'll get see where GoSun came from and where we are going. Plus, this is a great chance to get your questions answered on anything GoSun related.

Ready for 2022

9 months ago

Hello StartEngine Stakeholders,

2022 is off to a great start for us at GoSun and we are jumping with joy for what's next. Having plenty of early successes over the past several years, GoSun is similar to where Tesla was situated about four years ago - crossing the chasm in the technology adoption curve, from early adopter to early majority -

Ready to scale.

2022 CES Summary

We love starting the year in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show where we get to show off our latest innovations and rub shoulders with other industry leaders. It is a great chance to see how thought leaders and industry tycoons relate to your innovation. This year's show was full of companies trying to demonstrate their environmentally responsible gadgets, especially EV's and energy storage devices.

By seeing other innovative companies showing off it helped the GoSun leadership team realize how much further ahead we are in both clean technology and building resilience. While technology is being developed at breakneck speed, very few tech leaders are asking, why does this matter? and where is this truly needed on a rapidly changing planet? Meanwhile, Tesla has been asking these questions for over a decade.

GoSun's CEO, Patrick Sherwin, pauses for a smile during an interview at CES.

What's Next For GoSun?

GoSun has only begun to scratch the surface of innovation needed on the Fuel-Free Frontier. We cannot wait to unveil our new innovations. We will be launching products every month; some new combinations, several home-runs, but all breakthrough clean tech to help you thrive in the off-grid. With so much in store, we encourage you to join over 8,000 others in our Facebook Community Kitchen, get on our email newsletter (sign-up at bottom of page), and consider becoming a brand ambassador.

Stay tuned for more updates for a brighter future,

Patrick and the GoSun Team

2. Flow - water purifier and portable COVID sanitation system, earned Innovation award at CES

3. Power 266 - compact and versatile powerbank with USB-C PD and wireless Qi charging

4. Chillest - dual compartment portable fridge/freezer with built-in battery and solar ready options

5. Power 550 and 1100 - central hubs of GoSun's appliance ecosystem, plenty of power when needed

6. Brew - in response to wildfires, now there's a way to make coffee or tea anywhere

7. Solar Kitchen - this portable, versatile solution can cook, cool, charge, brew, purify, sanitize, and light

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy New Year!

Thanks for being a part of the Fuel-Free Frontier with GoSun.

A Lot To Be Thankful For...

11 months ago

Hello StartEngine Stakeholders,

If you are a GoSun Investor, THANK YOU!!

Pat yourself on the back, you have created a serious solar success.

There are many things to be grateful for this year with GoSun. It's time to appreciate what we have and spend a little time to reflect with gratitude, really looking at the successes of this past year. Accomplishments like this deserve some recognition along with a few minutes to absorb:

Amazing Team: even during the Great Resignation, GoSun's team has grown larger and stronger with incredibly talented new hires in Support, Engineering, Fulfillment and Finance
New Products: in the past year we have shipped a ton of new innovations, including the GoSun Flow, Solar Kitchen, Brew, Power 266, Power 550 &1100, and Chillest
Big Wins with REI: making deals with one of the nation's largest outdoor retailers, REI, has been validating as GoSun strives to go mainstream
Record Breaking Sales: from almost $4M in revenue in 2020, it looks like GoSun will hit nearly $6M in revenue in 2021, bringing in about 50% growth after last year's break-out brought in 109% growth
Innovation Honoree Award at CES: when COVID hit, we accelerated our water purification and sanitation system, shipped a couple thousand and won a prestigious award from the Consumer Technology Assc.
World Leaders Agree: at COP 26 in Glasgow this month action was taken to move away from fossil fuels and go solar

Solar Cornucopia | Black Friday Deals

The cornucopia has long been a symbol of abundance and nourishment, commonly depicted as a large horn-shaped container overflowing with produce, flowers, or nuts. Food never gets out of style, but In today's era of technology and factory farming, perhaps the image below is a more appropriate depiction of abundance, resilience and nourishment.

We hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Please take some time to explore GoSun's Solar Gear. There has never been a better time to build your solar set-up.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Q3 Report

11 months ago

Hello StartEngine Investors,

In this dynamic time, it can be difficult to find a trustworthy and stable source of good and purpose. According to us at GoSun, it is clear that the future will be solar powered, and we are excited to be building that future. Solar Energy isn’t just good for combatting Climate Change, it is also convenient and performs better than traditional fossil fuel energy.

Taking step by step over the past few years, GoSun has emerged from the start-up world of "do or die", to become a real enterprise, with real products, solving real problems with real potential to scale. Annual revenue in 2019 was shy of $2M, in 2020 just shy of $4M, and in 2021 we are trending toward $6M!!

GoSun's Sales Have Tripled In Two Years

Q3 Summary

6 Ways GoSun is like Tesla

11 months ago

Hello StartEngine Stakeholders,

Everything is trending up for GoSun as we enter the grand finale of another high growth year. We are having no issues with demand on our portable solar appliances; our biggest challenge has been keeping them on the shelf. With higher demand and lower supply comes higher prices. So, we are encouraging our investors to order their GoSun now, and use this 15% off promo code until Friday, November 12th: "startgosunengine15"

Unicorns are Real

Ever seen a clean technology unicorn?? Well, just look at how Tesla has reached astronomical levels over the past couple of years. By far the world's most valuable car company, Tesla is made of the same fabric as GoSun with disruptive technology and big, hairy, audacious goals.: decarbonization, highest safety, low maintenance, etc.

Here are Six Ways GoSun is a lot like Tesla:

Disruptive Innovation - forget gas cars, electric will toss the ICE to the curb in a few, short decades. Forget gas grills and ice chests, solar appliances will make propane and ice refills a thing of the past
Massive Markets - the consumer automobile market is the world's largest. Outdoor and emergency preparedness products are also very significant markets, and growing
Better Products - super efficient, clean tech products no longer require a compromise (ie. slower, boring experience), they're simply better than the traditional products they replace
Consumer Focused - both companies work to increase the feedback loop between customer and company, which then drives quick solutions, refinements, and further innovation
Environmentally Responsible - we are CLEAN! no burning, no drilling, no emissions, no complex liquid fuel supply chain, no toxic/hazardous fossil fuels, no flames, much lower heat production, much lower carbon footprint
Tech Enabled - with significant R&D budgets, both companies are leading the latest trends and willing to make bold moves ahead of the competition

What Others are Saying about GoSun

Don't take our word for it, come to your own conclusion and maybe it will help to listen to what the experts have to say about crowdfunding and GoSun

https://seekingalpha.com/insta blog/55062988-davidjames1/5648847-why-solar-powered-products-are-driving-investor-interest-in-clean-energy-and-climate
"With consumer trends tilting toward clean energy products more than ever and consumer and investor behavior beginning to become one and the same (due to the influence of crowdfunding), there’s arguably no better time to consider a solar investment.
Plus, it’s early enough to just about be ahead of the pack."

GoSun is signed to Join StartEngine's Secondary Trading Platform

12 months ago

You may be able to Buy and Sell GoSun someday in the future on the Secondary, StartEngine’s New Trading Platform

GoSun is proud to announce we have signed up to join the StartEngine Secondary for trading in the future.

The lack of liquidity has traditionally been one of the downsides of early stage investing. Usually, investors in a startup expect that they won't see liquidity for their money for five or more years. By joining the Secondary, we may be able to give investors an opportunity to trade their shares in the future.

StartEngine has made a significant step forward for the equity crowdfunding industry and we are glad to join them. Having a secondary market open for our shares is good for GoSun, and good for investors for whom liquidity is important. Everyone following these messages will get equal access to information about when we will open for Secondary trading.

Disclaimer: Securities purchased in a regulation crowdfunding ("Reg CF") offering such as this one cannot be resold for one year. This means that even if the company successfully lists on the StartEngine Secondary, you will not be able to quote securities purchased in this offering for sale until at least one year after the purchase has occurred.

Additionally, while the company has signed a quotation agreement to trade the securities offered on StartEngine Secondary's new alternative trading system (the "ATS"), a company that intends to be quoted on the marketplace will be subject to certain requirements which the company may or may not be able to satisfy in a timely manner. Even if a company is qualified to quote its securities on the market, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

Webinar Next Week, Oct. 12th + Why Ohio?

about 1 year ago

Why is GoSun in Ohio?

Sky-high taxes, ridiculous real estate prices, massive salaries for talent, these are all realities in coastal cities like San Francisco, New York and LA. High costs, getting higher? Not in Ohio!!!

Ohio is the perfect place for business because costs are low and there’s plenty of top notch talent. Ohio was ranked No. 1 Most Affordable State in 2020 by US News Rankings. Last year, Ohio’s venture capital growth rate was three times faster than California’s and five times faster than Washington’s, as venture dollars spread throughout the US.

Being from Ohio, the GoSun team grew up with the influence of inventive, industrious traditions passed on from the region’s best: The Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, Charles Kettering, Neil Armstrong, and Clara Barton. Located just three miles from the University of Cincinnati, GoSun has attracted a lot of talent from one of the nations top design schools, DAAP. Also, with offices in the Bay Area and China, GoSun stays connected to the latest trends and technical capabilities.

It is the strong roots of ingenuity, hard work, and common sense that continue to drive our success. With our home in the "crossroads of America",GoSun's team is obliged to meet customers where they are, regardless of political persuasion, background, economic status, race, etc. This middle-of-the-road approach has enabled GoSun for break into large mainstream markets much better than competitors.

Powerful New Product Launch

about 1 year ago

Hello StartEngine Investors,

These updates often feel as though we are bragging about our success.... but hey, we can brag about our success to you, right?

This week marks an exciting turning point for GoSun, as we have just launched a line of large, yet portable solar generators. These crazy helpful powerbanks can run almost any appliance and they are optimized to run GoSun's full line of super efficient appliances that cook, cool, purify, and brew.

Meet Power 550 & 1100

Our largest powerbanks to date, with 550 and 1,100 watt hours of lithium ion energy, equip you with reliable, silent power to meet essential needs while off-grid - camping, events, mobile office, BBQ, etc. We won't bore you with the juicy details on this innovation and all the ways it is useful, but you may want to watch this video:

Portable Power to the People

Portable power is the very DNA of GoSun. From day one, we've strived to bring incredible, super efficient appliances to people seeking more independence and resilience. More than just powering your cellphone or camera gear, GoSun is different because we focus on your essential needs like refrigeration, sanitation, cooking, water purification, brewing coffee, lighting, showering, and so on.

Combining these power solutions with the Sun, you can have your very own power plant. With GoSun's Gear you'll never have to buy these items again:

Ice - takes up 50% of the volume in your cooler, it crushes your food, then melts, making everything soggy and contaminated
Propane - dirty, and dangerous, its convenience is often out-weighed by the destructive environmental and health implications
Charcoal - smoky, cumbersome, and time-consuming, it makes you do all the work of preparation, coordination, and clean up
Alkaline Batteries - toxic, and one-time use, these are never to be relied upon and won't let you recharge
Bottled Water - wasteful and contaminated with plastic, these make it easy to throw away money and stifle ocean life
Bad Coffee - no thanks, life is not long enough to dilute our true pleasures with half assed attempts at the real thing

Pre-Sales on GoSun Power 550 and Power 1100 started on Tuesday this week and the best deals will end next Tuesday, Sept. 21st. With delivery slated for November, now is the best time to prepare for the unexpected while investing in something that can charge your everyday.

Powerbank Industry on the Rise

The powerbank industry is already large ($17.4B in 2019), and based on the rate of advancement, it is going to be HUGE. GoSun has introduced a number of smaller powerbanks over the past four years, and now we are GOING BIG as well. Once again, the fossil fuel status quo is shaking in their boots. Liquid fuels are quickly becoming inferior and loosing investment when compared to lightweight, compact, and high capacity energy storage.

What Others are Saying

GoSun is a market leader, so we often get recognition for seeding waves of innovation.

Fruits of Our Labor

about 1 year ago

Hello StartEngine Investors,

If this past weekend holds true, the future is bright for GoSun. We just had a record breaking Labor Day sale including record traffic, revenue and conversion rate. It appears that GoSun is catching a wave and riding in the right direction.

the image above is a screenshot from the backend of gosun.co the number depicted are not verified

* the image above is a screenshot from the backend of gosun.co, the numbers depicted are not verified nor meant to provide financial substance

GoSun has grown strong over the past few years, now we are ready to get big. The market waves are pushing us into the mainstream attention, setting the stage for GoSun to become a household name. Leadership and public opinion are beginning to push for climate action as our planet's weather is undeniably changing.

From 4% to 45%: Energy Department Lays Out Ambitious Blueprint for Solar Power
Call to Double the Efficiency of Appliances by 2030

Launching Soon

Your grandpa’s generator spent its life in the garage. Due to its monstrous size, the horrible noise, and all the emissions, it was only helpful IF he felt like dealing with it. Fossil fueled generators are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Next week we will be launching a line of new Solar Generators. Packed with energy, they are completely silent, compact and lightweight; always ready to join your adventures.

Designed to be our most versatile powerbank, it’s built to run your essential devices like Cameras, Power Tools, Laptops, and CPAP machines so you don't have to worry about power outages. Plus, these products are optimized to power GoSun’s full line of super efficient appliances that cook, cool, purify, and brew.

What Others Are Saying

Breakthrough innovations get attention. Here's a short list of GoSun's latest news and press links.

This article in PV Magazine focused into the concept of glamping, but GoSun cannot be reduced to such a narrow market. GoSun simply makes better appliances. You name it: glamp, camp, beach, boat, emergency prep, backyard, road trip... just better, because we can do so much better.

https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2021/09/06/startup-round-up-gosun-using-equity-crowdfunding-to-solarize-glamping/

Necessity is the Mother of All.....

about 1 year ago

Hello StartEngine Investors,

It has been another dynamic week, with things moving faster than ever - heartbreaking devastation of Hurricane Ida in Louisiana (over one million people without power), massive fires out west, geopolitical turmoil in Afghanistan, flooding and tornados in the Northeast, etc.

At GoSun, we create solutions to avoid these problems.

Most of us in North America, Europe and FarEast Asia live a very comfortable life and take so much for granted. However, as we are painfully seeing now in Louisiana, brownouts in California, and many of proud Texans lived through back in February, our electricity grid and the quality of life it provides us is such a privilege.

What others are saying about GoSun

Host Arlene Bynon sits down and speaks with CEO of GoSun, Patrick Sherwin. They discuss the growing water crisis in California, and how with droughts spreading throughout the world, new technology will be needed to help sustain our growing demand for water. Patrick tells Arlene about a new technology that will literally pull the water out of thin air, and how it's already helping a small community in California.

Supply and Demand Update

The impact on supply chains in 2020-2021 has been a critical business reality, with shocks in supply and demand rippling into all aspects of production and shipping. Jammed warehouses, crowded railyards, equipment and labor shortages, and congested ports are all a frequent occurrence in today's environment.

GoSun has increased the number of ocean carriers we work with, utilized more ports to expedite deliveries, and we are sourcing more products earlier. In addition to this, we are consistently evaluating the most cost effective shipping method with consistent service level. We have implemented contingency shipping strategies for more accessibility to container scheduling as well as air freight and parcel.

We are anticipating strong demand for our product lineup throughout the remainder of the year, along with supply chain congestion continuing through Q2 of 2022. Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure we are able to continue delivering outstanding products in the most efficient way possible. If GoSun is on your holiday gift list, now's the time to buy!

Labor Day Sale

At GoSun, we honor and respect hard work. That’s why we build our products in a way that allows you to work with them, improve them and keep them running for the long haul. Right now, we’re running a sale to celebrate this Labor Day, where you can get over 30% OFF products on today’s deal page.

Out of a great need we are all holding hands and climbing.

Not loving is a letting go.

Listen, the terrain around here Is far too dangerous for that.

Hot and Getting Hotter

about 1 year ago

Hello StartEngine Investors,

We have hit yet another milestone: $800K in funding through our StartEngine campaign!

Thank you to all our investors! This is another step forward as we work to provide portable power for people who want to live more independent, healthy and resilient lives. With your support, we are creating real solutions to make solar power a part of our everyday lives.

For those of you still considering investing in GoSun, check out our StartEngine page for all of the perks that come with joining our investor community. With only a few months left in our campaign, we want to make sure you invest while you still can!

What's Hot? (or maybe it's better to ask what's not hot?)

GoSun is hot, and we are getting stronger every minute - Q1 & Q2 Net Revenue is up 83% to $2,673,000
Solar is hot and likely to emerge as our dominant source of energy on the planet
Start-up investing is hot and StartEngine is leading with a Secondary Trading Platform that provides liquidity to investors
Green Tech is the most popular category in crowdfunded products -
Climate Change is getting more attention as the UN just issued a Code Red for humanity
Planting Trees is a big way to combat Climate Change - GoSun has planted over 100,000
Water Scarcity and severe drought is widespread in the American West, so we....

Announcing GoSun's Air to Water Solution

Severe drought, likely driven by Climate Change, has dried up the water supply in much of northern California. Mendocino, the picturesque, tourist-favorite village with over 150 years of history, is suffering from the worst water crisis ever and it’s caught the world’s attention.

GoSun is focused on helping people thrive by creating resilience to meet essential needs like cooking, cooling and charging. In 2020, during the peak of the COVID pandemic, GoSun launched a water purification and sanitation system, the GoSun Flow, to help address increased personal hygiene and off-grid needs. Now, GoSun has partnered with Tsunami Products creating an Air to Water system to hydrate and sanitize those in need.

Other water solutions being considered take copious time and major funds to bring to life. So, the energy experts at GoSun, and atmospheric water extractors, Tsunami, have an ingenious water-generating technology that can be part of the answer, immediately. By extracting moisture found in the air, each modular Tsunami 500 Machine, can produce up to 200 gallons of fresh water per day.

Last Wednesday, GoSun installed the first unit in Mendocino, at the hardware and grocery in the center of town, to enable tourists the chance to refill water bottles and wash hands while extra water goes to the grocery. We are making drinking water from coastal fog, right where and when it is needed.

This marks our first demonstration of this innovative atmospheric water generation (AWG) technology. As the water crisis intensifies, it is good to have tools like this in the quiver. Stay tuned for more updates.

Once again, to our investors – THANK YOU!

Your financial stake is allowing us to expand our product line and bring resilience to an increasingly insecure world.

For a brighter future,

Patrick and the GoSun Team

Welcome to the Roaring 20's

a time of more solar, major infrastructure improvements, economic growth, more explosive start-ups, and disruptive innovations

Whether you believe in global warming or not, we have all seen the impact of manmade pollution and destruction. We can all agree that it would be nice to protect more of the planet's limited resources. We love nature and we love our family. We may also all agree that outdated, centralized utility infrastructure is a threat to our families security - access to power, clean water, etc.

People who don't own a GoSun often do not understand a core tenet of our product development and design process. We aren't just going solar because it is better for the planet, we make solar appliances because they are better than traditional outdoor products. Similar to how Tesla has changed our roadways, we aim to free our customers from old drudgery by making products that perform better while being easier to use.

Where's Your Investor Perk / Bonus / Reward ?

Since GoSun aligns with new market surges in outdoor recreation and resilience, we have struggled to keep products on the shelf. Add to this a general backup in global supply and freight networks and it has become a recipe for delays. Thanks for your patience, your Perk will ship by the end of summer (Sept. 21).

Here's the breakdown of when we will ship your Perk based on Tiers: (please allow about one week for delivery)

$1,000 | GoSun Go : July 30th

Heat Waves Incite Solar Freezers

about 1 year ago

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

Declaring Energy Independence

over 1 year ago

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:

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

Passing Gas

over 1 year ago

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

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)
Gas is unhealthy - emissions from burning gas are toxic and many don't have adequate ventilation to maintain safe air quality inside their homes
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:

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."
Are Americans Willing To Drop Gas Cooking To Cut Back On Carbon Emissions?
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?

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)
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)
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

Go With GoSun

Consumers are demanding cleaner, healthier products as we become more aware. Governments and institutional investors are seeking more environmentally friendly and socially conscious solutions. GoSun allows the solar energy boom to meet everyday consumers with highly effective, portable appliances. The company and team have grown strong over the past few years, now they are ready to scale. GoSun stands in the intersection where sustainability and profitability meet.

New Product Launch Goes Supernova

over 1 year ago

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.

The Solar Era Has Arrived

over 1 year ago

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
