The next step is mobility.
The GoSun EV Solar Charger is designed to help electric vehicle owners capture solar energy while parked. The system features an 1,100-watt solar array designed to mount above a vehicle and provide supplemental solar charging. After a long development process involving engineering, testing, supply chain coordination, and customer feedback, GoSun is now shipping EV Solar Chargers to early customers and preorder holders.
“For years, people have asked how solar can become more useful in daily life,” Sherwin said. “EV charging is one of the clearest answers. Cars sit parked most of the day. If we can help turn that parked time into solar charging time, we can give people one more way to reduce dependence on the grid, fuel, and centralized infrastructure.”
Solar Carport: A New Energy Hub
GoSun’s Solar Carport is another key part of the company’s Phase 4 strategy. Designed for driveways, parking areas, and homes, the Solar Carport is intended to turn ordinary parking and workspaces into useful power-generating assets.
More than a shade structure, the Solar Carport is being developed as an energy hub to support use cases such as EV charging, battery charging, equipment charging, backup power, outdoor utility, and integration with other GoSun products.
The company believes modular solar structures can help bridge the gap between traditional rooftop solar and everyday distributed energy needs. Not every customer can install a large rooftop system, and not every energy need happens at the house. Vehicles, tools, small equipment, outdoor work areas, farms, and microbusinesses often need power where people park, work, and move.
GoSun Gopher and Solar Utility Vehicles
GoSun is also developing the GoSun Gopher, a compact solar-assisted utility vehicle designed for errands, farms, campuses, events, small businesses, recreation, and neighborhood-scale work.
The Gopher reflects GoSun’s move into practical electric mobility. It is intended to serve the space between an e-bike, a utility cart, and a light-duty vehicle. With integrated solar, cargo capacity, and compact electric transportation, the Gopher is designed to help people move tools, supplies, produce, food, gear, and people with less fuel and less noise.
GoSun sees the Gopher as part of a broader family of Solar Utility Vehicles – products that combine mobility, utility, and solar charging in formats that support everyday work and resilience.
Moonrider 27 Electric Tractor
One of the most significant new products in GoSun’s Phase 4 roadmap is the Moonrider 27 Electric Tractor. Through a new strategic relationship, GoSun is preparing to introduce the Moonrider 27 to the North American market.
Compact tractors are essential tools for farms, campuses, municipalities, landowners, and businesses. Yet many of these users remain dependent on diesel equipment, fuel price volatility, engine maintenance, noise, and emissions. Electric tractors remain an emerging category, particularly for compact and utility-scale users.
The Moonrider 27 is expected to give GoSun a meaningful entry point into electric work equipment. The company believes the tractor can pair naturally with GoSun’s Solar Carport, batteries, and distributed energy systems, helping customers imagine a cleaner and quieter approach to everyday work.
“We believe electric work equipment is a major opportunity for the next decade,” Sherwin said. “People are looking for ways to reduce fuel costs, simplify maintenance, and make their properties more resilient. The Moonrider 27 represents a natural extension of GoSun’s mission: practical tools powered by cleaner energy.”
Community-Powered Growth
GoSun has used crowdfunding throughout its history to help validate new products, engage customers, and invite supporters to participate in the company’s growth. GoSun’s new StartEngine campaign continues that tradition in mid-September 2026.
For GoSun, equity crowdfunding is more than a financing mechanism. It is part of the company’s community-powered development model. Many GoSun investors are also customers, early adopters, product testers, and advocates who help the company refine products and share its mission.
The company is raising investment at a time when energy costs, grid reliability, and global energy instability remain major concerns for households and businesses. GoSun believes these conditions create a strong need for practical, distributed solar solutions that are easier to deploy and use.
“We can’t control oil prices, utility rates, or global instability,” Sherwin said. “But we can control what we build. GoSun is focused on products that give people more options, more resilience, and more direct access to clean energy.”
Phase 4: Distributed Power for Work and Resilience
GoSun describes its growth in phases. Phase 1 began with solar cooking, proving that clean energy could be simple, efficient, and useful in daily life. Phase 2 expanded into solar kitchens and off-grid living, including cooling, water purification, charging, and portable power. Phase 3 brought GoSun into solar mobility through the EV Solar Charger and related vehicle-based solar concepts.
Phase 4 is the company’s move into distributed power systems for homes, farms, vehicles, microbusinesses, and worksites – led by the Solar Carport, GoSun Gopher, Moonrider 27, and related solar charging solutions.
GoSun’s goal is not to replace every form of energy use overnight. Instead, the company is building products that help customers take practical steps toward lower fuel dependence, greater resilience, and more everyday access to solar power.
