We hit the Million-Dollar Milestone this week—and we did it because of you. In the past two weeks, we raised over $170,000, which puts us in the Most Momentum category. We are also one of the 15 Most Funded Companies on StartEngine. It has been a great run. Now, we are closing our campaign on Thursday, 19 December 2024, to shift our focus to delivering the PowerBloc® G3 to our customers.

Today, YouSolar hit and quickly passed the $900,000 funding milestone. Nice. Thank you, StartEngine investors. Way to go!

I went to Columbia Business School. I graduated at the top of my class. But I had no interest in success by getting a job in the finance industry, being a hedge fund manager, or getting one over on someone else. Instead, I wanted to make great products, employ people, pay for their health care–and, yes, pay taxes. 

We have talked about it and given you glimpses of the revolutionary PowerBloc® G3. We have shown you the proprietary 100 V battery and the new cabinets, and earlier this week, we revealed PowerBloc®’s 100 A FORCE™ inverter. Now, we are ready to pull the curtain back even further. 

Yesterday, America voted. We encouraged America to vote for climate protection. For those who cast their vote for Earth, know that the FORCE™ will be with you. YouSolar’s FORCE inverter will be there for those who keep fighting against climate change and understand the importance of resilience.

Please meet our Chief of Staff, Ms. Pradnya Leitner. Pradnya has been a business operations leader in the technology (IBM and Salesforce) and healthcare industry with proven excellence in operational efficiency, leading strategic initiatives and facilitating cross-functional collaboration, including executive communication.

We are excited to welcome Aastha Sharma as our new Embedded Firmware Engineer. Aastha will be a key team member working on all aspects of PowerBloc’s software and firmware.

Yesterday, the production version of our 100 V battery arrived. We developed this battery with our battery partner and built it from the cell up. But the 100 V is much more than a battery–it is packed with so many features that it is more like a “battery system.”

YouSolar’s beachhead market is high-end homes. But high-end homes are not our sandbox. YouSolar wants to play globally with a mass-market product that can go anywhere. That is where the Gen 4 PowerBloc with stackable modules comes in.

"[Three] billion people worldwide lack access to reliable electricity. As such, by 2030, the IEA estimates that more than 71 percent of new electricity connections will be via off-grid or mini-grid solutions." YouSolar is ready for it.
