A lean start-up approach helps GoSun move quickly to meet major consumer needs and markets with today’s latest climate technology. Gaining traction initially with solar ovens, over the past few years, GoSun has expanded into portable fridges, lighting, charging, water purification, tiny houses and is now addressing power generators.
The Problem
GIF
Traditional energy sources cannot keep up with today’s needs because they are vulnerable, inconvenient, and harmful to our environment. Grid power cannot be trusted with its long, complicated, and often compromised supply chain (Source). Centralized utility power has stripped individuals of freedom and locked us into unnecessary, expensive, long-term debt (Source).
When headed outdoors, we are forced to compromise too many comforts of home unless we bring an expensive RV or boat. Again, we are left vulnerable, buying more supplies everyday and throwing single use items in the trash after use. Thriving while off-grid should not be difficult.
The Solution
Combining the latest in solar, energy storage and electronics, GoSun builds consumer products that meet essential needs and are better than today’s incumbent without compromising quality, performance or affordability. Not only do these portable devices make it easier to enjoy the outdoors, they are also capable of answering the call during times of need.
GoSun has developed a formula for launching clean tech innovations thanks to an experienced team, a robust online community, and an international presence. By listening to customers in a massive online community, GoSun has leveraged insights to become a hub of clean living on the Fuel-Free Frontier. These durable, portable power solutions fit into both outdoor recreation and emergency preparedness markets.
GIF
OUr Traction
Growth is the DNA of GoSun and now is time to scale. Consumers demand cleaner products and GoSun is fine tuned to rise to the opportunity. In a few years, GoSun has become the first consumer solar products manufacturer to break into mainstream markets. Centered around enjoying clean power, food and drink while outdoors, business more than doubled during COVID-19 pandemic. With more innovation on the way, GoSun anticipates these growth trends to continue.

The Market
*Date based on sources from DNV and Our World in Date.
Expanding beyond recreation, GoSun is meeting needs in Emergency Management. This is already a $117.2B industry and increasing with the effects of Climate Change. As the world moves away from burning fossil fuels, the Solar Energy Industry is predicted to grow 6,500% through 2050 (Source). Finally, in emerging markets overseas, about one billion people live without access to electricity and three billion people still burn wood and charcoal to cook everyday (Source).
What We Do
GoSun is quickly becoming the household name for portable, reliable solar products for recreation, emergency, and off-grid applications. Through community engagement GoSun is the center of a value hub that relies on customer feedback, technological opportunities and market trends. As a result, the new clean technologies, championed by GoSun, are affordable and capable of meeting our everyday needs.
GoSun products allow people to:
Thrive off-grid - Our products work during power outages
Avoid messes - No smoke, no melting ice, no waste, plus a portable sink

Help the climate - Solar power reduces environmental impact

Competitive Landscape
GoSun is a pioneer in creating, engineering, and building consumer solar products. By focusing on meeting customer’s essential needs, GoSun builds a more identifiable brand compared to other companies who are only providing solar power. When compared with existing product’s lifetime cost of ownership, GoSun is far more eco-friendly and affordable. Like Tesla’s electric vehicles, GoSun’s products are better than the incumbent without compromising convenience or performance.
HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT
GoSun Solar Ovens are a game changer when cooking outdoors. They produce the juiciest and tastiest food you'll ever make. With five patents and six trademarks, GoSun’s innovative approach to harnessing solar energy sets it apart from the other solar solutions on the market. Prior to GoSun, solar ovens were slow, bulky and impractical. GoSun solar ovens are fast, portable and convenient, plus they are safe to touch even while over 500°F (260°C). Our breakthrough solar cooking technology is:
- Fast & Safe. Meals in minutes, but always cool to touch.
- Versatile. Steams, bakes, roasts, and boils using only the Sun.
- All-Weather. Near perfect insulation so that no weather is too cold.
- Cook Day or Night. The world’s most efficient oven, solar and electric hybrid.
The GoSun Chill is more than a cooler, it's an off-grid refrigerator without the noisy generator. These Solar Coolers don't need ice, in fact, they can make ice. A portable 12V fridge designed to keep food cold or frozen, dry, and organized. Say goodbye to fishing for soggy sandwiches in a pool of hotdog juice, the solar alternative has arrived.
A cooler that runs on the Sun is better because:
- No Ice. More space, less weight and fresher food.
- Sustainable. Primary power: Sun | Back-up power: 12 Volt & AC.
- Lasts Longer. Keeps foods frozen for hours.
- Charges Devices. Includes integrated PowerBank (lithium ion battery).
GIF
*The above graphic contains images of our beta product which is currently in production.
GoSun knows today’s best solar and battery technology. A series of powerbank solutions unleash the freedom of portable power to keep you going while off-grid. From small to large, these devices are making gas generators obsolete. Capable of charging laptops, tablets, cameras, phones, lights, and other devices - just plug in anywhere, anytime.
A generator that runs on the Sun is better because:
- No noise, no fumes, no fuel. Silent and steady operation.
- Sustainable. Primary power: Sun | Back-up power: 12 Volt & AC.
- Lasts longer. No moving parts, very low maintenance.
- Charge multiple devices at once. AC, DC, USB
Water is key to life, so GoSun has built a purification and sanitation system that supplies your off-grid water needs. Joining a USB powered pump to a small solar power bank provides months of fresh drinking water. A kitchen sink that fits in your backpack, GoSun Flow sets up in seconds and can also turn into a shower.
A water system that runs on a micro pump is better because:
- No hand pumping, no waiting for chemicals to sterilize drinking water
- Versatile. Water purifier, kitchen sink or shower
- Conserves water during usage so you don’t break your back hauling
- Set up a sanitation station anywhere to wash hands and gear
Tiny Houses are sweeping the nation, for good reason. Downsizing makes like easier and more free. The GoSun Dream is an off-grid, solar, smart home that can be placed almost anywhere to become a: vacation home, rental, office, mobile home/RV. It brings its own power, water and waste management so you’re independent and autonomous.
A tiny house that runs on the Sun is better because:
Our Team
Experienced designers, engineers, and change-makers, GoSun’s team is intent on serving the world with unparalleled clean power solutions. Through collaborations and by living with their creations, GoSun’s tight knit team is able to make innovation happen quickly.
Fast, nimble, and well connected; when GoSun sees an opportunity, we go for it.
Why Invest
With a growing awareness of Climate Change and natural disasters, consumers are seeking more efficient, self-reliant products. GoSun is seeking investors who want to help us in creating and delivering real solutions. GoSun’s solar products are easy, fun to use and they actually work better than conventional products.
The concept sketch above depicts GoSun's capabilities; the lightweight camping trailer can be set up in just 30 minutes, providing: cooking, water purification, cold storage, wash station, prep area and solar + battery power supply. Users can have more fun in the Sun and rely on the trailer to be prepared for anything.
Mainstream consumers are demanding cleaner, healthier products and institutional investors are seeking environmental and social impact. GoSun allows the solar energy boom to meet everyday consumers. 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.
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 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.

First of all, you may be asking, is GoSun working on a boat innovation? YES!!! In fact, our first boat product will launch next week. With that news, you may then be asking...
Why Electric Boats?
1) Gas boats are major polluters. They contribute to climate change and are being targeted worldwide. Ships release about 1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, according to the IMO, roughly equal to Texas and California’s combined annual carbon output.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/06/06/shipping-carbon-emissions-biden-climate/
2) Lakes are banning gas boats due to noise and pollution. Typical boats are hard on the environment in a number of ways: Liquid fuel, exhaust sent directly into the water, toxic chemicals, et cetera. More waterways are limiting boat use and regulating horsepower to protect aquatic communities.
https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Bay-Area-riding-crest-of-tougher-restrictions-on-3072183.php
3) The market is ready to boom to $19 billion and no one is leading the way for affordable recreational boats. With a budget of less than $15,000, GoSun's solar-powered inflatable boat offers an affordable alternative to larger, more expensive boats. It is a great option for those who are looking to get into boating but don't want to make a significant investment.

Storms Cause Lights Out in 2023
It's been wild to witness a series of severe weather patterns push across the United States this year. There are currently around one million without power after a powerful blizzard and repairs are moving slowly. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/23/weather/winter-storm-us-thursday/index.html
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. https://time.com/6235156/extreme-weather-us-power-outages/
Are You Prepared?
That means, do you have a way to feed your family? ..to make drinking water? ..to power your communication devices? 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? If you plan to use your phone or radio, what good is it if the battery is dead?
GoSun is here to help you gain more resilience and have more fun outdoors. With GoSun you can keep your crew fed, hydrated, coffee up, and charged. Plus, you can do all this with the Sun, and the last time we checked, ...the Sun comes up everyday.
Nine Critical Needs Met by GoSun Appliances
02.22.23
Demand for campgrounds increases in 2023
Everyone is going camping these days, young and old. According to Campspot, there's been a 130% increase in reservation demand in January of this year compared to January 2022. Read more here: https://www.rvnews.com/
More and more people are seeking vacation and family time outdoors and we don't blame them. The way we see in at GoSun, people don't go to the woods to "rough it", we go there to smooth things out, we get it rough enough in the city.
Along with the growing popularity of camping, GoSun launched the world's most efficient, solar powered camper back in June 2022. We've since shipped 15 campers to happy customers all over the incredible North American continent. You may want to take a closer look at GoSun Camp365.
GoSun's new Solar Backpack gets rave reviews and great sales
Last week we launched a new solar powered backpack that fits many of GoSun's core products. The initial response was better than expected as we sold over a one hundred backpacks in the first few days.
At GoSun, we refuse to use fear based marketing as a sales tactic, instead we prefer to be optimistic about the future (which is full of solar power). That said, still many of our customers were motivated by the Backpack's "Bug-Out" capabilities in case things change for the worse. Designed by an Eagle Scout, we do like to "Always Be Prepared."

Meet GoSun's Solar Powered Backpack
It's always good to travel with energy and GoSun has designed a rugged bag to carry all of our core products. This versatile and compact backpack meets several critical needs:
Purpose-built to hold GoSun's products (Go, Flow, Brew, Power144), with this Backpack you can keep all of your off-grid items in one place. It's perfect for travel, picnics, or even as a survival bug-out bag, so you always have access to power and protection when you need it.
Incredible Discount Pricing Available This Week Only
The Solar Backpack will be discounted up to 50% off through this Saturday, Feb. 18th.

New Facility, New Beginnings
Earlier this month we finalized our move and began the process of creating our new company HQ. GoSun is raising the roof of this new space. Just five minutes from our previous warehouse, this new space has everything we need and then some. We have big plans for using this space to optimize the GoSun Innovation Machine.
With much more space than our old warehouse, we have plenty of room to grow and innovate with new products being launched this year. Also, for the first time we are housing all departments under one roof - optimizing communication and efficiency between all the working parts that make up GoSun. Watch this video below for your own tour:
Five Reasons Why GoSun's New Facility Is Perfect:
Concentration Is Critical
Over the years we've come to find that you should build your fire in more than one pit, or you shouldn't try digging for water in several wells. Bringing things under one roof and keeping them all organized is going to be key for our success. Get strong, then grow big. Once we are optimized in our new space we will be open for tours and live demos, so stay tuned for news this spring.
Thanks for your focus!

GoSun has signed up to join the StartEngine Secondary for trading in the future
You may be able to Buy and Sell GoSun someday in the future on the Secondary, StartEngine’s New Trading Platform
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. Keep in mind, GoSun cannot be actively raising capital and trading on the Secondary at the same time. Everyone following these messages will get equal access to information about when we will open for Secondary trading.
In addition to the Secondary trading platform, we are always building toward an exit. Furthermore, GoSun's leadership is both growing the company and packaging the brand for the eventuality of: 1) going public, 2) selling securities on an exchange (such as StartEngine Secondary), 3) or being acquired. Of course the specifics regarding any deal or timing are not available.
Disclaimer: 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 WHICH 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.
ADDITIONALLY, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT SECURITIES PURCHASED IN A CROWDFUNDING TRANSACTION GENERALLY CANNOT BE RESOLD FOR ONE YEAR. THIS MEANS THAT EVEN IF THE COMPANY SUCCESSFULLY LISTS ON STARTENGINE SECONDARY, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO QUOTE YOUR SECURITIES FOR SALE UNTIL A YEAR AFTER THE PURCHASE HAS OCCURRED.

Ohio Delivers
Some People have asked us, 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.
Go Underdogs, Go Bengals
Ohio, its businesses, institutions, people, and sports teams are often treated as underdogs in the national discourse. We don't mind. Some even thrive when being treated unfairly.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
