What Eversun does

Eversun Energy Inc., founded circa 2015 and headquartered in Escondido, California, designs and sells portable solar- and battery-powered LED light towers under its Apollo platform (Apollo S, L, XL models) and a defense product line (PowerTower, eRIT, eRAT). The company's underlying technology is a nano-grid platform protected by 20 patent claims, anchored by a patented folding solar array architecture (5mm thin-film panels that store flat and auto-extend on deployment) and a 60-second single-person deployment system using a carbon fiber telescoping mast (4' to 20'), IP55-rated enclosures, and modular LED heads delivering 50,000-100,000 lumens. Apollo S integrates a 758Wh swappable lithium battery for off-grid runtime, while Apollo L and XL are AC-powered for cost-effective or maximum-coverage scenarios.

The business model is predominantly transactional hardware sales through a direct e-commerce storefront (eversun.io) priced from $1,300 to $3,495 per tower plus accessories (batteries, chargers, cases), augmented by professional services in the form of free lighting assessments and custom project proposals. Go-to-market is multi-channel: product-led growth via interactive configurators and an OPEX calculator, direct-to-consumer e-commerce, inside sales for fleet and volume orders, and a dealer/distributor program with territory protection, with international shipping enabled. Customer segmentation spans sports organizations (volleyball, tennis, soccer, pickleball), construction and industrial, defense and government (including ISR and counter-UAS applications), and events/entertainment.

Strategically, Eversun is in active scale-up mode: it is raising a $10 million seed round (the largest disclosed capital event versus prior $300K and $285K rounds), holds a strategic pilot with a Fortune 500 global tool manufacturer, and is extending the platform into defense via PowerTower (TRL 6), eRIT (TRL 5), and eRAT (TRL 4, AI-enabled autonomous tower). The company positions its value proposition around a 50-80% five-year TCO reduction versus diesel light towers, silent zero-emission operation, and dramatic reductions in weight (65-82 lbs vs 2,000+ lbs) and setup time (60 seconds vs 15-30 minutes), aligning with California CARB zero-emission mandates taking effect by 2028-2035.

Core offering

Eversun Energy designs and manufactures the Apollo Series of portable, rapidly deployable LED light towers (Apollo S battery-powered, Apollo L and Apollo XL AC-powered) delivering 50,000 to 100,000 lumens for sports facilities, construction sites, events, and defense operations. The products are built on a patented nano-grid platform with folding solar array technology enabling 60-second single-person deployment, zero emissions, and silent operation. Defense-grade variants (PowerTower, eRIT, eRAT) extend the platform into tactical power, ISR, and counter-UAS applications for military and government buyers.

Product overview

Eversun offers the Apollo Series portable LED light tower platform with three models: Apollo S (battery-powered, 50,000 lumens), Apollo L (AC-powered, 50,000 lumens), and Apollo XL (AC-powered, 100,000 lumens). All models feature 4'-20' adjustable mast height, 60-second setup time, IP55 weather resistance, and 5700K daylight color temperature. The commercial Apollo lineup is complemented by defense-specific products including the PowerTower (TRL 6), eRIT tactical power mast (TRL 5), and eRAT autonomous tower (TRL 4). Accessories include wheeled soft cases, ATA road cases, replacement batteries (758Wh), and multi-stage battery chargers. The eTower platform is protected by 20 granted patent claims covering folding solar tower architecture.
