the problem & Our solution

The Grid is Broken. GoSun Aims to Build a Better Way.


The world is shifting to electric vehicles, but the current infrastructure hasn’t caught up. Most EV chargers are tied to an aging, overloaded grid that is expensive to install, often unreliable, and vulnerable during power outages. Meanwhile, extreme weather and rising utility costs are making energy independence more urgent than ever.


GoSun’s solution is simple and sleek. We design portable, solar-powered solutions that bring energy independence to anyone, anywhere. From cooking, cooling, purifying water, and soon to charging electric vehicles, our products deliver off-grid resilience without sacrificing comfort or convenience. 


*Images are computer-generated demo versions. The product is not yet available in the market.


GoSun’s new compact rooftop carrier is lightweight, durable, and contains eleven hundred watts of solar power, which - based on internal modeling in sunny regions - is enough to make around 70% of a vehicle’s annual mileage. That means users can charge virtually anywhere to meet their daily commuting needs or go off-grid.

Are Electric Cars Truly Green?

A Solar Driven Mission

GoSun is on a mission to make clean technology accessible to all. We make innovative solar solutions that support recreation, resilience, and off-grid living anywhere under the sun. With extensive experience in solar and electric vehicles, GoSun's leadership team has fielded a lot of inquiry as we strive to answer difficult questions. 



Did you purchase an electric vehicle (EV) as a green investment? 

If so, you're not alone. Recent data shows that 69% of Democrats and left-leaning independents believe EVs are better for the environment than gas-powered cars—and this belief heavily influenced their decision to go electric. In contrast, only 24% of Republicans share that view.

So, who’s right?

⚡ The Efficiency Advantage

EV's are undeniably more energy efficient. While gas-powered cars waste 75–84% of their energy through heat and friction, EV's waste only around 31–35%. This efficiency translates to less overall energy demand—and less pollution—even when factoring in emissions from power plants.

But efficiency alone doesn’t make an EV "green."

🌍 The Grid Matters

The environmental impact of your EV largely depends on how your electricity is generated. In states where coal or natural gas dominates the grid—such as West Virginia—EVs can still generate as much as 9,146 pounds of CO₂ emissions per year.

The national average? 3,932 pounds of CO₂ per year. That’s better than a gas car—but it’s far from zero-emission.

☀️ For Truly Clean Driving, Charge with Solar

Home solar systems are one solution, but utilities are making it harder to benefit from rooftop solar, especially for renters and condo dwellers. That’s where GoSun’s EV Solar Charger comes in*—a portable, car-mounted solar charging solution that allows you to charge from the sun wherever you park.

It’s a simple, solar-powered way to make your EV truly clean and independent. 


🚗 Charging Infrastructure Still Lags

Even as EV adoption grows, many drivers still find charging to be a pain point. Complaints include:

  • Too few fast chargers available
  • Long wait times
  • Broken or unreliable stations

According to Pew Research, 56% of Americans don’t believe the U.S. will build sufficient EV charging infrastructure. And with recent moves to cut federal EV charger funding—including 8,000 chargers at federal buildings—those concerns are growing.

GoSun offers a solar solution that requires no infrastructure, plugs, or wait times*.

🔋 How Much Solar Energy Do You Need?

On average, EV owners drive about 7,165 miles per year—that’s under 20 miles per day. The GoSun EV Solar Charger can generate up to 20 miles of range per day, making it a perfect solution for everyday driving, especially if you have access to direct sunlight where you park.

And it’s better for your battery, too.

🧠 Slow Charging = Longer Battery Life

According to AAA, slower charging extends battery life. Fast charging (Level 3) may boost your battery to 80% in 30 minutes, but it also accelerates battery degradation. EV batteries thrive when charged slowly and kept above 25%—a perfect match for solar charging.

Additionally, fast charging is getting more expensive, now averaging $0.50/kWh—and some stations charge heavy idle fees if you leave your car plugged in.



🌞 A Green Investment Opportunity

Solar EV charging is expected to grow, and GoSun is among the companies developing solutions in this space. We're not just talking about the future—we’re building it.

If you also believe solar charging is the next leap for clean transportation, explore our current investment opportunity.

Congrats on your success to date. I'll definitely be a customer because I believe in sustainable energy. On the business side, I have a few questions: 1. Is this investment for GoSun the company or a singular product? 2. Why did sales decline year over year? 3. Do you have a reoccurring revenue model or is everything a one time buy? 4. Please detail what specifically your patents protect against copy cats? 5. For the EV Solar Charger, on a nice sunny day, about how long does it take to charge a typical mid-size car from empty to full?

Wow, Latoya, thanks for the great questions. We just held four webinars in May to answer longer format questions like this, since this comment section is limited. Please look to join future webinars if possible. I've attempted to answer below: 1. This is an investment in the entire company. Note that some of the Investment Reward levels earn specific products. 2. Rather than advertising, we placed more emphasis on R&D and future growth. 3. Generally one time purchases, but many customers are inclined to build out a GoSun Gear Chest. 4. Much of our IP protects our solar cooking innovations, unique designs, and preventing copycats in China. 5. Today I will get about 10% charge or approx. 25 miles of range on a Tesla Model Y. It would take more than a week to go from 0 to 100%. For example, I'll gain more charge than the car will use today.

Patrick: The EV charger looks pretty cool.....it's nice to see there's a lot of pre-sales for it.....but I hear a lot of people coming up with ways to criticize this idea, they often say things like, "it's more expensive to charge this way, it creates more aerodynamic drag on the car, and it only makes sense in limited cases like if you live in an apartment and have a secure parking lot" ---- are these criticisms valid? and how do you respond to such criticisms? and regarding the security issue --- I know it's locked onto the car so it can't be easily stolen --- but even if it's not easily stolen, can it still be easily damaged or vandalized?

Thanks for kudos and inquiries, Kyle. GoSun has built a lot of cutting edge tech that gets beat up by naysayers. We all have bias to justify our current way of doing things. It's flattering to see how important efficiency, economics, or theft is, but we refrain from arguing. GoSun's technology and track record speak for itself. Regarding the validity of these various arguments, I encourage you to join the next Webinar on the 28th - https://lu.ma/8i7ni3cy We have our facts and reasons, but we also know it won't be for everyone. Change is happening all the time. The important question is in what direction are we changing.

If I already invested the $348 min and paid the $100 deposit for the EV Charger, what happens if I decide to invest in the $5000 early bird? Do those get combined and returned (respectfully)? Also, under the $5000 investment amount, I'm assuming the EV Charger wouldn't be subject to the 30% tax credit since it would be a gift, is that correct?

Thanks Chris! We can add the $348 towards your $5K but not the $100 deposit - for the deposit, GoSun is giving you a $200 store credit instead. It is not clear on the tax credit, but you are probably correct, your investment (with receipt of the EV Solar Charger reward) is not the same as purchasing the product.

This might sound strange, but there may be at least couple huge segments of Internal Combustion Engine users who this roof top solar charger may appeal to that we have yet to expose the EV Charger to. I know it sounds crazy but hear me out: 1. Campers who take their e-Bikes/Mountain Bikes with them and want to go across parks or regions with a dearth of charging locations. 2. Off-road sport and stunt electric motorcycles and motorbikes (such as the Zero x -line and onyx motorbikes, perhaps there can be a collaborative shared sales agreement). YouTube “electric stunt bike” and you see it’s a huge emerging category of riders with disposable cash.

Definitely! No doubt the electronics onboard the EV Solar Charger is perfect for many other applications. Glad you are seeing those opportunities as well, Leo. Thanks!

As a person that was surprised how inefficient solar panels are when you move away from being perpendicular to the Sun, can you develop a simple adjustable frame that would keep the EV Charger panel as perpendicular as possible, as the sun moves across the sky.

Thanks for your inquiry, James. You're correct, flat is much better than vertical for soar gain. We have a couple solutions and will be showing them in the live Webinar later this week. Hope to see you there.

Thanks Patrick for the info ... so what r u n company going to do to reward those folks like me who invested in 2001 at 58M valuation. Least would have been to at least increase the number of stocks to match the new declined valuation (either by split or special allocation). Hope u all think about it... ( Yeah i know the risk of dilution but 4 years of trust should mean something) Best MN

FAQS

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, they are 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 cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation 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 be 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.

1) Regulation A offerings (JOBS Act Title IV; known as Regulation A+), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC (unless otherwise indicated). 2) Regulation D offerings (Rule 506(c)), which are offered only to accredited investors. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC. 3) Regulation Crowdfunding offerings (JOBS Act Title III), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. See additional general disclosures here.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, 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.

StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
