Goal Zero was founded by Robert Workman after spending time in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. Robert quickly fell in love with the people and culture there. He wanted to help make the Democratic Republic of Congo a better place by helping to provide the people with reliable, portable energy. Thus, Robert made his first Goal Zero prototype, and the business grew from there.

Goal Zero seeks to equip people seeking to improve their outdoor adventures with the most innovative portable power products available. With items like solar kits, solar panels, solar generators, solar charges, and more, Goal Zero makes great solar powered products that are both easily portable and great for the environment.

Goal Zero is passionate about helping others all around the world. A portion of all Goal Zero purchases go to a non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping the Democratic Republic of Congo. The goal is to grow their economy by helping establish businesses and creating jobs. Giving back is always a cool thing to do, and is probably why Goal Zero and Moosejaw get along so well.
