WHAT IT PoWERS:

whY ration passion? BY Mike liBeCki, EXPLORAtiOn AddiCt

My passion for exploring has driven me to all seven continents in search of first ascents, interactions with different cultures, and the chance to embrace the untouched earth. I want to share the magic, power and beauty of the wild planet that few will rarely see, and inspire them to get out and live their dreams. not only do Goal Zero products help make my expeditions possible and successful, they make them easier. I don’t have to worry about my power needs, which means I can focus on the immaculate mayhem in front of me, and capture the magic, power, beauty, and mystery of these expeditions so I can share them with friends, family and the world.

Solar PoWer

BeCause it works BY norM KranTZ, vP Of innOvAtiOnS

Solar isn’t a new thing, it’s been around for years, on rooftops and garden lights to name a few. Goal Zero didn’t invent solar, we found a new way, a simpler way, to apply it to your everyday life. But why did we pick solar?

never by a river? What if you’re camping in the desert? Wind is great, but you never know if it’ll be windy or not. There are very few people who would set up an entire windmill just to charge their phone.

When I think of solar, I have this picture in my head… there’s all this power pouring down from the sun every day, like rain drops of solar power just hitting the ground and sliding off, never to be collected. over 44 quadrillion watts of power rain down from the sun every year – oVeR the question is how to utilize it. enter Goal Zero’s solar panels.

That’s not to say we aren’t exploring the other alternatives, because we are. We just haven’t found the perfect way to make them work for everyone... yet.

44 QUaDrILLIOn waTTS OF POwer RaIN DowN FRoM the SUN eVeRy yeaR — the QUeStIoN IS hOw TO UTILIZe IT.

We use solar because it’s everywhere – the sun has been coming up for millions of years and there’s a good chance it’ll be coming up tomorrow. even when it’s cloudy outside, you can still use our panels to collect power.

We’re constantly exploring and testing new technologies, and more importantly learning how we can give users the best experience possible.

Keep in mind, solar isn’t the only means to alternative energy, it’s just the least complicated when it comes to portable power. Water is cool, but what if you’re

Because in the end, it’s not what technology you’re using, it’s that you’re using the best technology to get where you’re going. and we’re here to help you out.

eMpowering... BY Joe atkin, Ceo

goal zero’s mission is to empower people because we believe in human potential. the potential to go farther and do more than you ever thought possible; the potential to provide a sustainable future for you and your family; the potential to make a difference in the lives of people everywhere. one of the outputs of that mission, and our vision, is to put power in the hands of every human being. we start with giving to programs like tifie and share the sun, where we set up projects to light villages and create sustainable power systems across the world. our customers purchase products to power their lives, and can donate a portion of the sale to one of the projects. it comes full circle when we empower our employees and partners to get involved to complete the projects. so why empower people? Because we believe in improving lives and our products do just that. 14 EMPOWERing PEOPLE

eMpowering...

goal zero has enabled me to fulfill my love of travel and passion for humanitarianism. By representing a brand and product that i not only believe in but empowers people; i too, am empowered. –lauren

i’m proud to be a member of a tremendous group that gets what life on this third planet from the sun is all about. i love living the solar life! –tonY

...eMploYees having the chance to be a part of our Share the Sun, navajo nation project fulfilled one of my life long dreams of participating in humanitarian aid work. I look forward to many more opportunities to give back and share solar freedom with the planet. –Cari

goal zero provided me with an incredible opportunity to set my personal ideals into action when i went to nYC during the hurricane sandy relief efforts. seeing the outpouring of generosity and concern was the best part of it all and strengthened my hope in humanity. –JareMY

working at goal zero has became my passion, my challenge, and my catalyst for personal reformation. the growth, learning and attitudes toward innovation and social consciousness are not faked or cooked up in order to make revenue. they are genuine and action is taken every day with the end goal of changing the world for the better. –staCie

finding freedoM SurfInG Iceland

BY Chris Burkard, AdvEntuRE LifEStyLE PhOtOgRAPhER

There’s a lot of exploring to be done here. We were searching for surf spots, but I found myself taking less and less glances at the ocean and taking in all the beauty that Iceland had to offer. each time we surfed it felt like we were discovering new spots never before surfed or seen. There are so many nooks and variations in the coastline that you can spend days just searching for perfect spots. and we did. We would drive for hours and hours and hours, hitting every red dot on our map. Sometimes it felt like we were on a wild goose chase, searching for the best spot based on the constantly shifting weather patterns. But when we’d finally find that spot with not another soul in sight, it made it all worth it. It’s amazing to experience how Goal Zero products have really allowed me to not only discover more isolated places, but also have the ability to wait out storms and swells to score great moments and waves amidst the ever-changing landscape. no longer do I have to drive hours back into the nearest village to charge my equipment for the next day, while chances to shoot pass me by. I can be completely mobile, allowing me to be constantly searching. and in that constant search are the moments when I capture my best photos. 18 POWER PACKS

lighting the trail BY traVis Burke, ACtiOn/AdvEntuRE PhOtOgRAPhER

My goal is to live life to its fullest. I want to witness, experience and capture things others dream of by seeing all of what the planet has to offer. I use photography to capture and preserve the essence of my experiences, so I can share them with the world. While most people are asleep in the comforts of their home, I spend countless hours exploring the landscape at night. The world is dark and desolate and some of my favorite experiences have come from these adventures through the darkness. I want to light the trail and ignite their passions; I want to inspire everyone to get out and live peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dreams. Goal Zero empowers me to go farther and do more than I ever thought possible. essentially Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to get out and live the things dreams are made of. traVis Burke in Yellowstone with the goal zero switCh 8 and Bolt tip.

the MoMent of light BY daVId a. roSner, R&d tEChniCiAn

A LIGHT CAN BE THE SPARK THAT CHANGES A LIFE.

TIFIE and Share the Sun allow us to accomplish our vision – putting power in the hands of every human on the planet. There is a moment of brilliance our teams have witnessed, over and over again, that touches everyone to the core. It is the moment when someone flips a power switch for the first time.

theRe IS a MoMeNt aFteR aN INStaLL that IS INCReDIBLe to wItNeSS.

This moment is when a child finds limitless potential, when families feel safer in their homes. This moment infects the deepest darkest corners of the world with hope and has the potential to improve a life, save a community, and even change the world.

aND IN thIS MoMeNt, theRe IS a LooK.

The look is the same, young or old, man or woman, no matter the culture. The eyes, as the pupils adjust to the light and focus, seem to then unfocus and stare through the light itself, into a universe of potential and hope.

if not You, who? if not now, when?

My experience in life has taught me that whenever we try to do something significant, there will always be opposition. The beginnings of Goal Zero started by simply trying to do good, our vision was to help people out of poverty by teaching them how to build businesses – we wanted to empower them to lift themselves out of poverty. We ran into so many obstacles that one day I turned my eyes heavenward and said, “I give up. I can’t do this anymore.” almost immediately a thought came to me, “If not you, who? If not now, when?” That was profound, and it gave our team the courage to work through our problems. our vision remained true, but we found that our methods had to adjust from what we thought would work, to what actually worked. We discovered that by creating basic tools that everyone needed and wanted, they could use those tools to create income opportunities within their community. at Goal Zero, our products are designed to lift the poorest of poor, and are still extremely relevant to the richest of rich. Think about that for a moment. If we have products that will really do that, those products are a great equalizer in lifting us all to a higher place. after all, we are all here on this earth together, having a human experience. We can put reliable power into every human hand on this earth, without overwhelming our resources. There is enough for all – so, if not you, who? If not now, when?
