EXPLANATORY NOTE

 On March 13, 2024 (the " Closing
Date "), the registrant consummated its previously announced business combination (the
" Closing "), pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement,
dated as of April 19, 2023 (as amended on January 24, 2024, the " Business Combination Agreement "),
by and among Zeo Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a ESGEN Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company), ESGEN
OpCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (" OpCo "), Sunergy
Renewables, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (" Sunergy "),

 CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 This Report contains, and our officers
and representatives may from time to time make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions
of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "anticipate,"
"intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "believe," "project," "estimate,"
"expect," "strategy," "future," "likely," "may," "should," "will"
and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding:

 the

circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may
differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking
statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in
the forward-looking statements include, among others, those factors described under the heading "Risk Factors." Should one
or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material
respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities
laws. You should not take any statement regarding past trends or activities as representation that the trends or activities will continue
in the future. Accordingly, you should not put undue reliance on these statements.

 iii

 SUMMARY RISK FACTORS

 The following is a summary of the
principal risks described below in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in this Report. We believe that the risks described in the
"Risk Factors" section are material to investors, but other factors not presently known to us or that we currently believe
are immaterial may also adversely affect us. The following summary should not be considered an exhaustive summary of the material risks
facing us, and it should be read in conjunction with the "Risk Factors" section and the other information contained in this
Report.

 Risks Related to Zeo's Business

 The solar energy industry is an emerging market which is constantly evolving and additional demand for solar energy systems may not develop to the size or at the rate expected;

 A material reduction in the retail price of electricity charged by electric utilities or other retail electricity providers would harm Zeo's business, financial condition and results of operations;

 Sales and installation of solar energy systems depends heavily on suitable meteorological and environmental conditions such that, if meteorological or environmental conditions are unexpectedly unfavorable, the electricity production from Zeo's solar service offerings may be below its expectations, and Zeo's ability to timely deploy new systems may be adversely impacted;

 Zeo's business has benefited from the declining cost of solar energy system and energy storage system components and may be harmed to the extent the cost of such components stabilize or increase in the future;

 Zeo's growth depends in part on the success of its relationships with third parties, including its equipment suppliers, contractors and dealers, including dealers who market to customers and bring the resulting solar contracts to it for fulfillment;

 Zeo depends on a limited number of suppliers of solar energy system components and technologies to adequately meet demand for its solar energy systems and, due to the limited number of suppliers in Zeo's industry, the acquisition of any of these suppliers by a competitor or any shortage, delay, price change, imposition of tariffs or duties or other limitation in Zeo's ability to obtain components or technologies Zeo uses could result in sales and installation delays, cancelations and loss of customers;

 If Zeo fails to manage its recent and future growth effectively, it may be unable to execute its business plan, maintain high levels of customer service, or adequately address competitive challenges;

 Warranties provided by the manufacturers of equipment Zeo sells or services may be limited by the ability of a supplier and manufacturer to satisfy its warranty or performance obligations or by the expiration of applicable time or liability limits, which could reduce or void the warranty protections and increase Zeo's costs to customers for the systems Zeo offers;

 Technical and regulatory limitations regarding the interconnection of solar energy systems to the electrical grid may significantly delay interconnections and customer in-service dates, harming Zeo's growth rate and customer satisfaction;

 Zeo's business is concentrated in certain markets, putting us at risk of region-specific disruptions, including hurricanes or other extreme weather events;

 iv

 Zeo's expansion into new sales channels could be costly and time-consuming, and as Zeo enters new channels, it could be at a disadvantage relative to other companies who have more history in these spaces;

 Zeo may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future investments, strategic transactions, or acquisitions, and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt its business and management;

 Zeo's rebranding involved substantial costs and may not produce the intended benefits if it is not favorably received by Zeo's customers, contractors and dealers;

 Zeo has previously been, and may in the future be, subject to regulatory inquiries and litigation, all of which are costly, distracting to its core business and could result in an unfavorable outcome, or a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or the trading price of our securities;

 Zeo's business currently depends on the availability of utility rebates, tax credits and other benefits, tax exemptions and exclusions, and other financial incentives on the federal, state, and/or local levels that may be adversely affected by changes in, and application of these laws or other incentives to Zeo, and the expiration, elimination or reduction of these benefits could adversely impact Zeo's business;

 Zeo relies on certain utility rate structures, such as net metering, to offer competitive pricing to customers, and changes to those policies may significantly reduce demand for Zeo's solar energy systems; and

 Electric utility policies, statutes, and regulations and changes to such statutes or regulations may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of Zeo's solar energy offerings that may significantly reduce demand for such offerings.

 Risks Related to Zeo and Ownership of Zeo Securities

 Our management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance obligations may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our businesses.

 We will incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company.

 We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, if management identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or if we otherwise fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial position or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and stock price or cause our access to the capital markets to be impaired;

 Nasdaq may delist Zeo's securities from trading on its exchange;

 A significant portion of the total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are restricted from immediate resale following the Closing of the Business Combination but may be sold into the market shortly thereafter. This could cause the market price of Class A Common Stock to drop significantly, even if Zeo's business is doing well;

 An active, liquid market for Zeo's securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Zeo's securities;

 The Zeo Warrants are exercisable for Zeo Common Stock, and if exercised, would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to the stockholders of Zeo; and

 In certain cases, payments under the tax receivable agreement ESGEN entered into with the Sellers in connection with the Closing (the " Tax Receivable Agreement ") may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits that Zeo realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

 v

 ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 Our Company

 We were originally incorporated under the name "ESGEN Acquisition
Corp." as a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger,
share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which
we refer to throughout this Report as our initial business combination. As discussed in this Item 1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K
(this "Report"), we completed our initial business combination with Sunergy Renewables, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company,
on March 13, 2024, and changed our name to "Zeo Energy Corp."

 Mission

 Our company and personnel are passionate about delivering cost savings
and increased independence and reliability to energy consumers. Our mission is to expedite the country's transition to renewable
energy by offering our customers an affordable and sustainable means of achieving energy independence.

 Business Overview

 Zeo is a vertically integrated provider of residential solar energy
systems, other energy efficient equipment and related services currently serving customers in Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri.

 Sunergy was created through the contribution of Sunergy Solar and Sun
First Energy to Zeo (the " Contribution ") on October 1, 2021. Sunergy Solar, formed in 2005, and initially focused
on providing heating, ventilation and air conditioning products and services in Florida, later expanded into installing residential solar
energy systems sold directly by the company and third-party sales dealerships. Sun First Energy was established in 2019, and, from its
formation to the date of the Contribution, it sold residential solar energy systems in Florida that were installed by other companies.
Prior to the Contribution, Sunergy Solar and Sun First Energy had collaborated on residential solar energy system installations and shared
a commitment to quality, integrity and customer satisfaction. The Contribution established a vertically integrated company offering solutions
that included sale, provision, installation, operation and maintenance of residential solar energy systems and other energy efficient
equipment of services. Many of our solar energy system customers also purchase other energy efficiency-related equipment or services or
roofing services from us.

 Since the Contribution, Zeo has expanded operations by increasing the
number of installations, sales, and administration personnel from approximately 180 as of the Contribution to approximately 288
as of December 31, 2023. In January 2022, we began selling and installing residential solar energy systems and other energy efficiency-related
equipment in Texas, in January 2023, we expanded into Arkansas, and, in September 2023, we entered Missouri.

 Products and Services

 Residential Solar Energy Systems

 Zeo's primary business activity is selling and installing residential
solar energy systems that homeowners use to supplement the amount of usable electricity required to power their homes. We currently operate
in Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri, and have experienced rapid growth in our business since 2020.

 Other Energy Efficient Equipment and Services

 In 2023, approximately 23% of our customers purchased one or more insulation
services, such as adding insulation to a home's attic or walls. In 2023, in approximately 53% of our sales our customers purchased
adders that consisted of equipment designed to increase energy efficiency, including items such as hybrid electric water heaters or swimming
pool pumps. During 2023, 1% of our customers purchased battery-based energy storage systems. These battery-based energy storage systems
store energy generated from their residential solar energy systems to be used when the system generates less usable electricity
than the home requires (such as at night or on cloudy days).

 Roofing Services

 We install roofs in Florida, where our subsidiary, Sunergy Roofing
& Construction, Inc., is a licensed roofing contractor. In Texas and Arkansas, for some solar energy system customers that need roofing
services, we contract with roofing companies for the services. We plan to continue growing our roofing operations, as we believe our roofing
services complement our residential solar energy systems and for some customers helps to expedite solar system installations.

 Subcontractors

 We use subcontractors to install some of our residential solar energy
systems at times when we do not have a sufficient number of our own installation teams to timely complete the project. We also use subcontractors
to provide all of our insulation services and to install some of the roofing services and energy efficient equipment such as hybrid electric
water heaters and pool pumps which we sell. Our subcontractor fees for residential solar energy system installations are typically based
on total wattage installed, and our arrangements with installation subcontractors allow either party to terminate the agreement for convenience.

 Marketing and Sales

 We market our products and services to potential customers directly
through in-home visits carried out by our internal sales agents and indirectly through external sales dealers. In the case of
leases, a customer is approached by and communicates with the same sales personnel as if the customer were purchasing a system directly
from Zeo. We also engage in digital marketing efforts on our own or through third-party marketing specialists, including search engine
optimization and social media communications to strengthen our online marketing presence. Our code of conduct applies to our employees,
independent contractors and dealers, and it requires adherence to high ethical standards when carrying out business activities.

 Internal Direct Sales Force

 We have established an internal team of sales agents that markets and
sells directly to customers through door-to-door sales approaches. As of December 31, 2023 this team included approximately 270 sales
agents, reflecting an approximately 100% agent increase from December 31, 2022. Our sales agents are engaged through full-time contracts
lasting from April through August, which is our primary selling season. Sales made through our internal sales team have lower customer
acquisition costs than sales sourced through our external dealers. In 2023, approximately 50% of the total systems we installed were sold
through our internal sales team.

 Sales Through External Dealers

 We also install systems sold by external sales dealers that act as
our sales representatives with potential customers. The number of dealers that have entered into a current arrangement to sell our solar
panel systems was approximately 30 as of December 31, 2023 compared to approximately 20 as of December 31, 2022. The percentage of sales
that originate with our external dealers increases during the fall and winter months when our internal sales efforts are diminished. We
provide field support and training to these dealers on our sales offerings, sales processes and other business processes, including our
software sales platform.

 Upon our selection of and engagement with a dealer, the dealer executes
our dealer agreement. The majority of our dealer agreements require the dealers to exclusively represent our business with respect to
the particular products or services we sell. Dealers have the option of choosing to execute a contract that does not require this exclusivity,
and some select this option. Our dealer contracts are terminable for convenience by either party. For each residential solar energy system
that we install for a customer that was sold by a dealer, after we receive payment, we compensate the dealer with a commission based on
the number of watts of solar panels installed.

 We recruit and select dealers based on their experience in the market,
ability to produce sales and general reputation for ethical behavior within the industry. As part of our dealer contract, we require our
dealers to agree in writing to comply with our code of conduct when carrying out their marketing and other activities.

 Customer and Leasing Agreements

 A homeowner becomes our customer typically by signing a contract with
us to purchase and receive installation of a solar energy system. We have also began to install solar energy systems that are leased by
the customer under an agreement between the customer and a third-party leasing company under which the leasing company will own and lease
to a customer a solar energy system. A customer that chooses our products and services typically signs the contract after meeting with
one of our sales agents or dealers in the customer's home and receiving a preliminary system design for their home and pricing for
the system. Whether the customer determines to purchase or lease the solar energy system, the sales agent or dealer determines the pricing
to be offered to the customer based on product and services price information stored in our sales software for the system components included
in a customer's proposed system. After the customer signs the contract, we schedule and conduct a site survey. If during the site
survey we discover property code compliance or other complications with the planned design and installation, we may issue a change order;
if required changes represent additional costs to us or the customer, the party that would be responsible for those costs may choose to
cancel the contract. After the site survey, we prepare formal design and engineering documents and apply for applicable permits from local
government authorities. After required permits are obtained, we schedule and install the solar energy system and any other equipment purchased
on the customer's home.

 Purchase Contract Warranties. As the owner of the residential
solar energy system under the purchase and installation agreement, customers receive a manufacturer's limited warranty for system
components. For the principal components of solar panels, inverter, and racking, the manufacturer's limited warranty typically lasts
25 years. Manufacturers control whether the warranty periods they offer will change for equipment purchased in the future. Though we are
not responsible for a manufacturer's compliance with warranty obligations, we assist customers in contacting the manufacturer if
a warranty issue arises. We provide customers at least a ten-year limited warranty for our installation work and at least a
five-year limited warranty against roof penetrations. In most of our purchase and installation agreements that we used prior to 2023,
we provided a 25-year limited warranty for installation work and against roof penetrations.

 Purchase Contracts and Financed Sales. For the period from January
1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, the large majority of our customers (at least 90%) who purchased residential solar energy systems from
us entered into a loan arrangement with a third party to finance the purchase over an extended period of time. The loan agreement between
the customer and the third-party lender typically has a repayment term of between 7 and 25 years and requires the customer to pay either
a minimal or no down payment. The lender pays us our portion of the purchase payment after completion of system installation.

 Purchase Contracts and Cash Sales. For the period from January
1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, a small minority of our customers (less than 3%) have paid us in cash for the purchase of residential
solar energy systems. For those sales, our purchase contract requires the customer to pay 25% of the purchase price upon execution of
the purchase agreement, 50% when we begin installation, and the final 25% on the last day of installation. Installation is usually commenced
and completed either in a single day or within several days.

 System Leases. In December 2022, we launched a program
offering customers the option of leasing our solar energy systems from a third-party leasing company. The customer agrees to pay the leasing
company a predetermined monthly fee for the electricity produced by the residential solar energy system. Though we have plans to increase
the number of leased systems we install, as of December 31, 2023, 8% of the systems we have installed in 2023 are leased by the customer,
though we expect that percentage to increase in 2024. The lease term between the leasing company and the customer is 25 years. The customer
agrees to pay the leasing company a predetermined monthly fee for the electricity produced by the solar energy system. The monthly fee
generally increases annually over the lease term at a predetermined rate, and the customer has the option to renew the lease for five
to ten years. The potential advantage to the customer of a lease agreement is that a third-party owner of the residential solar energy
system may take more advantage of available government tax incentives for solar energy production, which may allow them to lease the system
to the customer at monthly rates that are lower for the customer than if the customer were financing its own purchase of the system. We
installed the first leased solar energy system in April 2023 and, as of December 31, 2023, we have installed approximately 460 leased
solar energy systems. In the lease model offered to our customers, the third-party leasing company contracts with the homeowner customer
to install a solar energy system owned by the leasing company and leased to the customer. The leasing company contracts with Zeo to purchase
system equipment and install the solar energy system and to maintain and service the system on the leasing company's behalf during
the life of the lease.

 As of the date of this filing, Zeo's customers have solely entered
into leasing agreements with third-party leasing companies established and managed by White Horse Energy, LC (" White Horse
Energy "), a holding company of which Mr. Bridgewater, Zeo's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer is the owner and manager. Subject to investor and customer demand, White Horse Energy intends to attract more investors to form
third-party leasing companies. No assurance can be given that White Horse Energy will be able to do so or that arrangements can be made
with other funds to act as lessors of Zeo's solar energy systems in the future. Zeo is exploring leasing arrangements with other
third parties with an objective of offering customers a choice of purchase or lease options.

 Supply

 The main components of our residential solar energy systems are solar
panels, inverters and racking systems. Common related components or systems that we may additionally supply are battery-based energy storage
systems, insulation, hybrid electric water heaters, swimming pool pumps and roofing. All of the products that we install are manufactured
by third parties. We select products and system components, suppliers and distributors based on cost, reliability, warranty coverage,
performance characteristics and ease of installation, among other factors.

 While we procure products and components from multiple suppliers and
distributors to reduce the likelihood that we experience an inability to procure those products and components, the primary supplier from
which we purchase the equipment that we install is Greentech. Greentech also provides us inventory management services by holding equipment
in its inventory until it delivers directly to the customer site for installation. We purchase from Greentech through a credit agreement
under which Greentech extends us credit for purchases, and we are obligated to make payments by the 15th day of the month following each
purchase. A purchase discount is available for early cash payment, and a service charge of 1.5% per month can be assessed for payments
made more than 30 days after the invoice date. Our agreement with Greentech does not require either party to continue to conduct new business
with the other party. During 2023, we purchased approximately 98% of the equipment that we installed through Greentech. We believe our
relationship with Greentech, and the volume of business we do through them, has established us as a preferred customer and enables us
to procure components at attractive terms. If our relationship with Greentech were to be terminated, there are other distributors of the
same or similar equipment, and we believe we could readily obtain supplies from those other distributors, though they may take some time
to develop the efficient logistics system Greentech employs now on our behalf delivering products to the customer installation sites.

 Heightened inflation in the costs of labor and components beginning
in 2020 and continuing today has contributed to fluctuating prices for solar energy equipment. At times, we have had to pay increased
prices to obtain equipment. This has not yet prevented us from obtaining the products we need to install systems purchased by our customers,
but there can be no assurance that this will continue. We do not have information that allows us to quantify the specific amount of cost
increases attributable to inflationary pressures.

 We have previously experienced price increases and temporary supply
delays resulting from multiple market phenomena, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of the solar panels and other
equipment that we install are manufactured outside of the U.S., and most are manufactured in China. The general supply chain issues resulting
from the COVID-19 pandemic have had specific impacts on our sources of supply for solar energy equipment. These issues have
included increased price pressures on solar panel components such as polysilicon, pandemic-related port closures, port congestion and
ship diversions, and increases in shipping rates from trans-Pacific ocean carriers due to factors that include limited availability of
shipping capacity, shortages of shipping containers, shortages of dock workers and truck drivers and increases in fuel prices. These factors
have contributed to price increases and price fluctuations in solar energy equipment, and at times have caused delays in supply. Government
tariffs on solar energy equipment, including tariffs placed on solar equipment manufactured in China, have also contributed to higher
prices on solar equipment. Additionally, Russia's war against Ukraine caused price and supply pressure on solar energy equipment,
as the war has impacted fuel prices and has led to increased demand in European markets for solar energy equipment as consumers and governments
in Europe have sought to establish greater energy independence. In 2020, 2021, and 2022, we experienced periods of temporary delay in
obtaining supplies. We believe these delays reduced the number of installations in comparison to what we would have been able to install
without the delays. In 2023, we did not experience any appreciable delays in supply.

 For more information on risks related to our supply chain, see " Risk
Factors — Risks Related to Zeo's Operations — Due to the limited number of suppliers in our industry, the acquisition
of any of these suppliers by a competitor or any shortage, delay, price change, imposition of tariffs or duties or other limitation in
our ability to obtain components or technologies we use could result in sales and installation delays, cancellations and loss of customers "
and " Risk Factors — Risks Related to Zeo's Operations — Increases in the cost or reduction in supply of solar
energy system and energy storage system components due to tariffs or trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. government could have an adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. "

 Seasonality

 Historically, our sales volume and installation activity has been highest
during late spring and summer. During this time, consumers in many locations see greater energy needs due to operating air conditioning
systems and warm-weather appliances such as swimming pool pumps. Our door-to-door sales efforts are also aided during these
months by daylight savings time providing increased daylight hours into the evening, and we have more sales personnel, many of whom are
college students, working during these months, as described above. We typically have largely or entirely scaled down our internal sales
efforts during the fall, winter, and early spring. Snow, cold weather or other inclement weather can also delay our installation of products
and services.

 Strategy

 We plan to increase our market impact and grow our revenue and profits
by pursuing the following strategic objectives:

 Expand our operations into additional geographic markets. We
plan to continue to expand in new geographic markets, both organically and through strategic M&A, where favorable net metering policies
exist, where the percentage of the addressable residential market that already has residential solar energy systems is generally below
7%, and where we do not believe the market is already oversaturated with competitors. We are actively considering additional markets to
enter beyond Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri, as we identify markets which we believe may have large addressable markets and significant
customer demand for solar energy.

 Increase capacity for efficient growth by investing in people and
systems. We have increased the number of solar energy systems we sell and install by growing and training our internal seasonal
sales force, and we plan to continue to do so, as well as increasing our number of external dealers. We have also grown and plan to continue
growing our installation capacity in markets we serve by hiring and training more skilled technicians and investing in technology. Where
we do not yet have installation teams in place, we plan to continue to collaborate with subcontractors to fulfill our installation needs.

 Continue to grow our external dealer sales channel. We
plan to increase the number of external dealers working to bring us customers. We believe we will continue to have success in attracting
dealers to our business because of our scalable business platform that allows dealers to participate in the residential solar energy sales
and installation life cycle with limited investments in personnel and capital.

 Expand customer options for buying affordable solar energy. We
plan to expand our roofing business in all markets we enter in the future. Roofing facilitates a faster processing time for our solar
installations in cases where the residential customer is in need of a roof replacement prior to installing solar systems. We believe offering
customers the option to lease a residential solar energy system installed on their home will increase the number of systems we can sell
and install due to the potential savings for some customers that cannot otherwise take full advantage of certain tax incentives. As described
above, in December 2022, we launched a program offering customers the option of leasing residential solar energy systems from third parties
that we install on the customer's home.

 Strengths

 We are profitable. We have a profitable business model, and
over the last four years, we have increased revenue and earned profit.

 In adopting the systems and costs of operating as a publicly traded
company, we expect to face challenges to our ability to maintain or increase our profitability. However, we believe our strengths position
us for accelerating our growth in an efficient manner that will produce profitable results.

 Our Sales Model. Our sales methodology produces a high volume
of sales. We believe our internal sales process drives a high volume of sales per sales representative and results in low customer acquisition
costs. The success of our sales processes starts with quality, hands-on training for each sales representative. Our self-produced
digital learning platform presents our sales representatives with sample customer scenarios and guides them in learning effective communication
techniques, as well as how to efficiently carry out administrative steps required for completing sales. Each sales representative's
responses to sample customer scenarios are reviewed and critiqued by managers of our internal sales team.

 In our sales model, a majority of personnel knock on doors of potential
customers and explain the benefits of solar energy and our offerings with the objective of scheduling a subsequent sales meeting. In the
scheduled meetings, a more experienced sales representative or sales manager provides a homeowner additional information about system
design, energy savings and other benefits, pricing, incentives and financing options.

 We believe that the key elements to our successful business model include
(i) effective training and time spent with senior sales managers, (ii) our use of our customer relationship management software platform
which concurrently tracks key performance indicators across the sales cycle, and (iii) our multi-step setter-closer sales model, which
enables senior sales personnel to focus on greater sales success in presentations, while setters focus on developing and filtering quality,
qualified leads, all of which then contributes to maximizing the percentage of leads converted into sales and sales into installations
because of satisfied customers throughout the process.

 During the Company's peak sales period in late Spring and Summer of 2023. See " - Seasonality " above.

 Our vertical integration leads to customer satisfaction and personnel
retention. We believe our vertically integrated business model, in which we market, design, sell, procure, install and service
systems, has a major benefit of enhancing the speed of project completion after an initial sale is made. It also allows us to price projects
strategically with information from both the sales and installation sides of the process. Our greater control over the total process and
our resulting success rates in navigating the local municipal permit process is intended to increase customer satisfaction and reduce
potential sales force frustration from losing many jobs due to delays in the installation process. Our ratio of sales converted to completed
installations is higher for sales that come from our internal agents than that that come from our dealer sales. We believe this higher
rate helps increase the job satisfaction and retention rate for our personnel, as it enhances commissions that are paid out to sales personnel
and managers, and provides work for installation teams.

 Our scalable business platform allows us to grow efficiently. We
believe that we have established a scalable business platform for efficiently completing the life-cycle of tasks involved in offering
and fulfilling customers' residential solar power needs. This platform is principally: (a) software we use in designing, selling,
installing and servicing systems, and in tracking key performance indicators across the sales cycle; and (b) the business processes of
our employees that perform field work, system design, permitting, installation and back-office support tasks. This platform is intended
to allow us to undergo rapid sales and installation growth by efficiently adding new personnel and collaborating effectively with external
dealers who bring us additional customers. We have carefully designed these processes and our pre- and post-installation operations
to be effective systems which can be easily explained to new employees and replicated in the new cities and regions in which we operate
and expand.

 Competition

 The solar energy and renewable energy industries are both highly competitive
and continually evolving as participants strive to distinguish themselves within their markets and compete with large electric utilities.

 We consider our primary competitors to be electric utilities that supply
electricity to our potential customers. We compete with these electric utilities primarily based on price (cents per kWh), predictability
of future prices and the ease by which customers can switch to electricity generated by our residential solar energy systems. We may also
compete with them based on other value-added benefits. These include reliability and carbon-friendly power, benefits which consumers have
historically paid a premium to secure, but which customers can obtain by purchasing a solar energy system for monthly costs that are sometimes
equal to or less than a traditional monthly power bill from the utility.

 We also compete with retail electric providers and independent power
producers that are not regulated like electric utilities but which have access to the utilities' electricity transmission and distribution
infrastructure pursuant to state, territorial and local pro-competition and consumer choice policies. These retail electric
providers and independent power producers can offer customers electricity solutions that are competitive with our residential solar energy
system options on both price and usage of renewable energy technology while avoiding the physical installations that our current business
model requires.

 We compete with community solar products offered by solar companies
or sponsored by local governments and municipal power companies, as well as utility companies that provide renewable power purchase programs.
Some customers might choose to subscribe to a community solar project or renewable subscriber program instead of having a residential
solar energy system installed on their home, which could affect our sales. Additionally, some utility companies (and some utility-like
entities, such as community choice aggregators) have power generation portfolios that are increasingly renewable in nature. As utility
companies offer increasingly renewable portfolios to retail customers, those customers might be less inclined to have a residential solar
energy system installed on their home or business, which could adversely affect our growth.

 We also compete with solar energy companies with vertically integrated
business models like our own, many of which are larger than we are. For example, some of our competitors offer their own consumer financing
products to customers and/or produce one or more components of the residential solar energy system or energy storage system. In addition
to financing and manufacturing, some other business models also include sales, engineering, installation, maintenance and monitoring services.
Some of our competitors also have an established complementary construction, electrical contracting or roofing services.

 Some competitors also offer customers the option of leasing a
residential solar energy system installed on the customer's residence. In such a scenario, the provider or a third party owns
the residential solar energy system, and the customer typically pays a predetermined fee for the electricity produced by the
residential solar energy system. The fee generally increases annually at a predetermined rate over the lease term, which is
typically 20 to 25 years, with a renewal option. Such a lease program can take fuller advantage of some of the available tax
incentives and, therefore, can reduce the customer's monthly costs in comparison to owning the residential solar energy
system.

 We compete against companies that are not vertically integrated, such
as companies that offer only installation services, or provide only equipment to be installed, or dealers that sell systems for which
another entity or entities will provide and install equipment. Some of these entities finance products directly to consumers, inclusive
of programs like Property-Assessed Clean Energy financing programs established by local governments. For example, we face competition
from solar installation businesses that seek financing from external parties or utilize competitive loan products or state and local programs.

 We expect the competition to evolve as the market continues to grow,
evolve and attract new market entrants. We believe that with our business model and sales strategy, we can compete effectively and favorably
within the industry.

 For more information on risks relating to increased competition in
our industry, see " Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Solar Industry — We face competition from electric utilities,
retail electric providers, independent power producers, renewable energy companies and other market participants. "

 Intellectual Property

 We protect our intellectual property rights by relying on common law
protections and through contractual arrangements. We typically require our personnel, consultants and third parties such as our suppliers
with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements. Our principal trade secrets and copyrighted materials
consist of our sales methodologies and data regarding our personnel, customers and suppliers.

 We also license third-party software and services that we use in operating
our business. These third-party solutions include, among others, software that we use in selling and designing our products services,
a customer relationship management system to actively track key performance indicators across the sales cycle and software to augment
our sales and marketing efforts.

 Insurance

 We maintain the types and amounts of insurance coverage and on terms
deemed adequate by management based on our actual claims experience and expectations for future claims. However, future claims could exceed
our applicable insurance coverage. Our insurance policies cover employee-and contractor-related accidents and injuries, property damage,
business interruption, storm damage, inventory, vehicles, fixed assets, facilities, and crime and general liability deriving from our
activities. We have also obtained insurance policies covering directors, officers, employment practices, auto liability, and commercial
general liability. We may also be covered in some circumstances for certain liabilities by insurance policies owned by third parties,
including, but not limited to, our dealers and vendors.

 Government Regulation

 U.S. tariffs, duties and other trade regulations impact the prices
of components in the residential solar energy systems and energy storage systems we sell, in addition to the pricing pressures caused
by supply chain factors as discussed above. These U.S. government-based pricing influences currently include tariffs placed on crystalline
silicon PV cells and solar panels imported into the U.S. Also, China is a major producer of solar modules, inverters and other components
that we use in the systems that we install, and the U.S. currently assesses various tariffs and antidumping and countervailing duties
on equipment produced in China, including solar modules and inverters. The U.S. has also placed certain geographic, company-specific and
other trade restrictions on Chinese sources of supply based on foreign policy and national security interests. The scope and timing of
these regulatory efforts change over time, and the government may introduce new regulations as world events occur and public policy evolves.
In response to the market uncertainty and price fluctuations caused by these government actions and other supply chain pressures, we carefully
and periodically evaluate our suppliers of system components and make purchasing decisions based on our judgments of product quality,
warranties, pricing and availability.

 For more information on risks relating to government tariffs, duties
or trade restrictions, see " Risk Factors — Risks Related to Zeo's Operations — Increases in the cost or reduction
in supply of residential solar energy system and energy storage system components due to tariffs or trade restrictions imposed by the
U.S. government could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. "

 Our operations are subject to various national, state and local laws
and regulations. These include regulations regarding license requirements for electricians or other professionals involved in the installation
of residential solar energy systems and energy storage systems. Many states and/or local governments and utilities have regulated procedures
for interconnecting residential solar energy systems and related energy storage systems to the utility's local distribution system.
There are also local building codes or other local regulations for installing the products we sell on a customer's property. We
employ or contract with licensed professionals as needed to comply with regulatory requirements, and as part of our process of installing
residential solar energy systems and related equipment, we assist our customers in obtaining interconnection permission from the applicable
local electric distribution utility, and applicable permits from other local offices.

 Our operations, as well as those of our suppliers and subcontractors,
are subject to stringent and complex U.S. federal, state, territorial and local laws, including regulations governing
the occupational health and safety of employees, wage regulations and environmental protection. For example, we and our suppliers and
subcontractors are subject to the regulations OSHA, the U.S. Department of Transportation (" DOT "), the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (" EPA ") and comparable state entities that protect and regulate employee health
and safety and the protection of the environment. Various environmental, health and safety laws can result in the imposition of costs
and liability in connection with system and equipment installation, the repair or replacement of parts, and disposal of hazardous substances
(such as the disposal and recycling of batteries).

 We and the dealers that supply us with sales opportunities or completed
sales are also subject to laws and regulations related to interactions with consumers, including those applicable to sales and trade practices,
privacy and data security, equal protection, consumer financial and credit transactions, consumer collections, mortgages and re-financings, home
or business improvements, trade and professional licensing, warranties, and various means of customer solicitation, as well as specific
regulations pertaining to solar installations.

 Government Incentives

 There are U.S. federal, state and local governmental bodies that provide
incentives to owners, distributors, installers and manufacturers of residential solar energy systems to promote solar energy. These incentives
include an investment tax credit and income tax credit offered by the federal government, as well as other tax credits, rebates and Solar
Renewable Energy Credits associated with solar energy generation. The U.S. federal Energy Policy Act of 2005, as amended, established
what came to be known as the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit, an incentive that provides homeowners a 30% tax credit for
the cost of purchasing and installing qualified residential alternative energy equipment, including solar electricity equipment. The IRA
renamed this credit as the Residential Clean Energy Credit and extended the 30% credit through 2032. The credit rate falls to 26% in 2033,
22% for 2034 and expires at the end of 2034. The IRA also provides other incentives for homeowners to adopt energy-efficient systems and
appliances that include: (a) a 30% tax credit with an annual limit for certain upgrades such as installing energy-efficient hybrid water
heaters, doors and windows, insulation, and upgrading electrical breaker boxes; and (b) up to $14,000 in point-of-sale rebates
for low- and moderate-income households for certain electric appliances and home upgrades.

 Our business model also relies on multiple tax exemptions offered at
the state and local levels. For example, some states have property tax exemptions that exempt the value of residential solar energy systems
in determining values for calculation of local and state real and personal property taxes, and there are some state and local tax exemptions
that apply to the sale of equipment. State and local tax exemptions can have sunset dates or triggers for loss of the exemption, and the
exemptions can be changed by state legislatures and other regulators.

 A majority of states have adopted net metering policies, including
our sales areas of Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri. Net metering policies allow homeowners to serve their own energy load using on-site generation
while avoiding the full retail volumetric charge for electricity. Electricity that is generated by a residential solar energy system and
consumed on-site avoids a retail energy purchase from the applicable utility, and excess electricity that is exported back to
the electric grid generates a retail credit within a homeowner's monthly billing period. At the end of the monthly billing period,
if the homeowner has generated excess electricity within that month, the homeowner typically carries forward a credit for any excess electricity
to be offset against future utility energy purchases. At the end of an annual billing period or calendar year, utilities either continue
to carry forward a credit or reconcile the homeowner's final annual or calendar year bill using different rates (including zero
credit) for the exported electricity.

 Utilities, their trade associations, and other entities are currently
challenging net metering policies in various locations by seeking to eliminate them, cap them, reduce the value of the credit provided
to homeowners for excess generation or impose charges on homeowners that have net metering. States where we sell now or in the future
may change, eliminate or reduce net metering benefits. On April 26, 2022, the Florida governor vetoed legislation that would have established
a date for reducing and ending net metering in Florida.

 We rely on a mix of the incentives mentioned above to reduce the net
price our customers that are eligible for incentives would otherwise pay for our solar offerings or per kilowatt hour used.

 Employees and Human Capital Management

 As of December 31, 2023, we have approximately 190 full-time employees
that work year-round processing orders, installing and servicing systems and fulfilling administrative tasks. We also engage sales agents
as independent contractors as described in "— Internal Direct Sales Force " above. None of our employees
are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and we have not experienced any work stoppages due to labor disputes.

 Facilities

 Our corporate headquarters are located in Florida under a lease that
expires at the end of October 2026. We maintain offices for operations in Texas and Arkansas, and we have sales, marketing and executive
offices in Utah and throughout Florida. We currently lease the office and warehouse spaces that we use in our operations, and we do not
own any real property. We believe that our facility space adequately meets our needs and that we will be able to obtain any additional
operating space that may be required on commercially reasonable terms.

 Litigation

 We are not currently a party to any material litigation or governmental
or other proceeding. However, from time to time, we have been, are and will likely continue to be involved in legal proceedings, administrative
proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business with customers, subcontractors, suppliers, regulatory bodies or others.
In general, litigation claims or regulatory proceedings can be expensive and time consuming to bring or defend against, which may result
in the diversion of management's attention and resources from our business and business goals and could result in settlement or
damages that could significantly affect financial results and the conduct of our business.

 Item 1A. Risk Factors

 Risks Related to the Solar Industry

 The solar energy industry is an emerging market which is constantly
evolving and additional demand for solar energy systems may not develop to the size or at the rate we expect.

 The solar energy industry is an emerging and constantly evolving market
opportunity. We believe the solar energy industry is still developing and maturing, and we cannot be certain that additional demand for
solar energy systems will grow to the size or at the rate we expect. Any future growth of the solar energy market and the success of our
solar service offerings depend on many factors beyond our control, including recognition and acceptance of the solar service market by
consumers, the pricing of alternative sources of energy, a favorable regulatory environment, the continuation of expected tax benefits
and other incentives, and our ability to provide our solar service offerings cost effectively. If additional demand for solar energy systems
does not develop to the size or at the rate we expect, our business may be adversely affected.

 Solar energy has yet to achieve broad market acceptance and depends
in part on continued support in the form of rebates, tax credits, and other incentives from federal, state and local governments or utilities.
If support diminishes materially for solar policy related to rebates, tax credits and other incentives, demand for our products and services
may decrease and our ability to obtain external financing on acceptable terms, or at all, could be materially adversely affected. These
types of funding limitations could lead to inadequate financing support for the anticipated growth in our business. Furthermore, growth
in residential solar energy depends in part on macroeconomic conditions, retail prices of electricity and customer preferences, each of
which can change quickly. Declining macroeconomic conditions, including in the job markets and residential real estate markets, could
contribute to instability and uncertainty among customers and impact their financial wherewithal, credit scores or interest in entering
into long-term contracts, even if such contracts would generate immediate and/or long-term savings.

 Furthermore, market prices of retail electricity generated by utilities
or other energy sources could decline for a variety of reasons, as discussed further below. Any such declines in macroeconomic conditions,
changes in retail prices of electricity or changes in customer preferences would adversely impact our business.

 At the international level, the United Nations-sponsored Paris Agreement
requires member states, including the United States, to submit non -binding, individually-determined greenhouse gas reduction
goals known as "Nationally Determined Contributions" every five years after 2020. President Biden has committed the United
States to a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030, a target consistent with the Paris
Agreement's goal of "net-zero" greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. "Net zero" means that the amount
of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere are balanced by an equal amount of greenhouse gases being removed from the atmosphere.
Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 will require an unprecedented transformation of American energy systems and the adoption of a wide
variety of clean energy, storage, and home electrification solutions. Our successful deployment of such products will depend on several
factors outside our control, including shifting market conditions and policy frameworks. Our failure to adapt to changing market conditions,
to compete successfully with existing or new competitors, and to adopt new or enhanced offerings could limit our growth and have a material
adverse effect on our business and prospects. Further, additional international agreements or any legislation, regulation, or executive
action within the U.S. addressing climate change, including any climate-related disclosure requirements and legislation or regulation
intended to support the goals of the Paris Agreement, may in the future result in increases in our compliance costs and other operating
costs. Finally, if the United States were to exit the Paris Agreement, support from the U.S. government and, as a result, consumer demand,
may decrease.

 We face competition from electric utilities, retail electric
providers, independent power producers, renewable energy companies and other market participants.

 The solar energy and renewable energy industries are both highly competitive
and continually evolving as participants strive to distinguish themselves within their markets and compete with large electric utilities.
We believe our primary competitors are the electric utilities that supply electricity to our potential customers. We compete with these
electric utilities primarily based on price (cents per kWh), predictability of future prices (by providing pre-determined annual
price escalations) and the ease by which customers can switch to electricity generated by our solar energy systems. We may also compete
based on other value-added benefits, such as reliability and carbon-friendly power. If we cannot offer compelling value to our customers
based on these factors, our business may not grow.

 Electric utilities generally have substantially greater financial,
technical, operational and other resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may be able to devote more resources to the research,
development, promotion and sale of their products or services or respond more quickly to evolving industry standards and changes in market
conditions than we can. Electric utilities could also offer other value-added products or services that could help them to compete with
us even if the cost of electricity they offer is higher than ours. In addition, a majority of utilities' sources of electricity
is non-solar, which may allow utilities to sell electricity more cheaply than electricity generated by our solar energy systems.
Electric utilities could also offer customers the option of purchasing electricity obtained from renewable energy resources, including
solar, which would compete with our offerings. Moreover, regulated utilities are increasingly seeking approval to "rate-base"
their own solar energy system and energy storage system businesses. Rate-basing means that utilities would receive guaranteed rates of
return for their solar energy system and energy storage system businesses. This is already commonplace for utility-scale solar projects
and commercial solar projects. While few utilities to date have received regulatory permission to rate-base residential solar energy systems
or energy storage systems, our competitiveness would be significantly harmed should more utilities receive such permission because we
do not receive guaranteed profits for our solar service offerings.

 We also compete with retail electric providers and independent power
producers not regulated like electric utilities but which have access to the utilities' electricity transmission and distribution
infrastructure pursuant to state, territorial and local pro-competition and consumer choice policies. These retail electric
providers and independent power producers are able to offer customers electricity supply-only solutions that are competitive with our
solar energy system options on both price and usage of renewable energy technology while avoiding the physical installations our current
business model requires. This may limit our ability to acquire new customers, particularly those who have an aesthetic or other objection
to putting solar panels on their roofs.

 We also compete with solar companies with vertically integrated business
models like our own. For example, some of our competitors offer their own consumer financing products to customers and/or produce one
or more components of the solar energy system or energy storage system. In addition to financing and manufacturing, some other business
models also include sales, engineering, installation, maintenance and monitoring services. Many of our vertically integrated competitors
are larger than we are and offer certain vertical services that we do not. As a result, these competitors may be able to devote more resources
to the research, development, promotion and sale of their products or services or respond more quickly to evolving industry standards
and changes in market conditions than we can. Solar companies with vertically integrated business models could also offer other value-added
products or services that could help them to compete with us. Larger competitors may also be able to access financing at a lower cost
of capital than we are able to obtain.

 In addition, we compete with other residential solar companies who
sell or finance products directly to consumers, inclusive of programs like Property-Assessed Clean Energy financing programs established
by local governments. For example, we face competition from solar installation businesses that seek financing from external parties or
utilize competitive loan products or state and local programs.

 We also compete with solar companies that are marketed to potential
customers by dealers, and we may also face competition from new entrants into the market as a result of the passage of the Inflation Reduction
Act of 2022 (the " IRA ") and its anticipated impacts and benefits to the solar industry. Some of these competitors
specialize in the distributed solar energy market and some may provide energy at lower costs than we do. Some of our competitors offer
or may offer similar services and products as we do, such as direct outright sales of solar energy systems. Many of our competitors also
have significant brand name recognition, lower barriers to entry into the solar market, greater capital resources than we have and extensive
knowledge of our target markets. In addition, some of our competitors have an established business of providing construction, electrical
contracting, or roofing services.

 We also compete with community solar products offered by solar companies
or sponsored by local governments and municipal power companies, as well as utility companies that provide renewable power purchase programs.
Some customers might choose to subscribe to a community solar project or renewable subscriber programs instead of having a solar energy
system installed on their home or business, which could affect our sales. Additionally, some utility companies (and some utility-like
entities, such as community choice aggregators) have generation portfolios that are increasingly renewable in nature. As utility companies
offer increasingly renewable portfolios to retail customers, those customers might be less inclined to have a solar energy system installed
on their home or business, which could adversely affect our growth.

 We have historically provided our services only to residential customers,
but we may expand to other markets, including commercial and industrial customers. There is intense competition in the solar energy sector
in the markets in which we operate and the markets into which we may expand. As new entrants continue to enter into these markets, and
as we enter into new markets, we may be unable to grow or maintain our operations and we may be unable to compete with companies that
have already established themselves in both the residential market and non-residential market.

 As the solar industry grows and evolves, we will also face new competitors
and technologies who are not currently in the market (including those resulting from the consolidation of existing competitors). Our industry
is characterized by low technological barriers to entry, and well-capitalized companies, including utilities and integrated energy companies,
could choose to enter the market and compete with us. Our failure to adapt to changing market conditions and to compete successfully with
existing or new competitors will limit our growth and will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

 A material reduction in the retail price of electricity charged
by electric utilities or other retail electricity providers would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Decreases in the retail price of electricity from electric utilities
or from other retail electric providers, including other renewable energy sources such as larger-scale solar energy systems, could make
our offerings less economically attractive. The price of electricity from utilities could decrease as a result of:

 the construction of a significant number of new power generation plants, whether generated by natural gas, nuclear power, coal or renewable energy;

 the construction of additional electric transmission and distribution lines;

 a reduction in the price of natural gas or other natural resources as a result of increased supply due to new drilling techniques or other technological developments, a relaxation of associated regulatory standards or broader economic or policy developments;

 less demand for electricity due to energy conservation technologies and public initiatives to reduce electricity consumption or to recessionary economic conditions; and

 development of competing energy technologies that provide less expensive energy.

 A reduction in electric utilities' rates or changes to peak hour
pricing policies or rate design (such as the adoption of a fixed or flat rate) could also make our offerings less competitive with the
price of electricity from the electrical grid. If the cost of energy available from electric utilities or other providers were to decrease
relative to solar energy generated from solar energy systems or if similar events impacting the economics of our offerings were to occur,
we may have difficulty attracting new customers. For example, large utilities in some states have started transitioning customers to time-of-use rates
and also have adopted a shift in the peak period for time-of-use rates to later in the day. Unless grandfathered under a different
rate, customers with solar energy systems may be required to take service under time-of-use rates with the later peak period.
Moving utility customers to time-of-use rates or the shift in the timing of peak rates for utility-generated electricity to
include times of day when solar energy generation is less efficient or non-operable could also make our offerings less competitive. Time-of-use rates
could also result in higher costs for our customers whose electricity requirements are not fully met by our offerings during peak periods.

 Sales and installation of solar energy systems depend heavily
on suitable meteorological and environmental conditions. If meteorological or environmental conditions are unexpectedly unfavorable, the
electricity production from our solar service offerings may be below our expectations, and our ability to timely deploy new systems may
be adversely impacted.

 The energy produced and revenue and cash flows generated by a solar
energy system depend on suitable solar and weather conditions, both of which are beyond our control. Furthermore, components of our systems,
such as panels and inverters, could be damaged by severe weather or natural catastrophes, such as hailstorms, tornadoes, fires, or earthquakes.
Homeowner insurance or homeowners generally bear the expense of repairing weather-related damage to solar energy systems. However, in
these circumstances, we make our install teams available to remove, repair and reinstall the systems. Sustained unfavorable weather or
environmental conditions also could unexpectedly delay the installation of our solar energy systems, leading to increased expenses and
decreased revenue and cash flows in the relevant periods. Extreme weather conditions, including those associated with climate change,
as well as the natural catastrophes that could result from such conditions, can severely impact our operations by delaying the installation
of our systems, lowering sales, and causing a decrease in the output from our systems due to smoke or haze. Weather patterns could change,
making it harder to predict the average annual amount of sunlight striking each location where our solar energy systems are installed.
This could make our solar service offerings less economical overall or make individual systems less economical. Our economic model and
projected returns on our solar energy systems require achievement of certain production results from our systems and, in some cases, we
guarantee these results to our consumers. If the solar energy systems underperform for any reason, our business could suffer. Any of these
events or conditions could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Climate change may have long-term impacts on our business, our
industry, and the global economy.

 Climate change poses a systemic threat to the global economy, and we
believe it will continue to do so until our society transitions to renewable energy and decarbonizes. While our core business model seeks
to accelerate this transition to renewable energy, there are inherent climate-related risks to our business operations. Warming temperatures
throughout the United States, including Florida, our biggest market, have contributed to extreme weather, intense drought, and increased
wildfire risks. These events have the potential to disrupt our business, the operations of our third-party suppliers, and our customers,
and may cause us to incur additional operational costs. For instance, natural disasters and extreme weather events associated with climate
change can impact our operations by delaying the installation of our systems, leading to increased expenses and decreased revenue and
cash flows. They can also cause a decrease in the output from our systems due to smoke or haze. Additionally, if weather patterns significantly
shift due to climate change, it may be harder to predict the average annual amount of sunlight striking each location where our solar
energy systems are installed and energy output from our systems could be reduced in the short-term or long-term in certain areas. This
could make our solar service offerings less economical overall, make individual systems less economical, or reduce demand for our products,
as well as damage our reputation to the extent energy generation from our products does not meet customer expectations. For more information
regarding risks posed by meteorological conditions, see "— Sales and installation of solar energy systems depend heavily
on suitable meteorological and environmental conditions. If meteorological or environmental conditions are unexpectedly unfavorable, the
electricity production from our solar service offerings may be below our expectations, and our ability to timely deploy new systems may
be adversely impacted. "

 Our business has benefited from the declining cost of solar energy
system and energy storage system components and may be harmed to the extent the cost of such components stabilizes or increases in the
future.

 Our business has benefited from the declining cost of solar energy
system and energy storage system components, and to the extent such costs stabilize, decline at a slower rate or increase, our future
growth rate may be negatively impacted. The declining cost of solar energy system and energy storage system components and the raw materials
necessary to manufacture them has been a key driver in the price of solar energy systems and energy storage systems and customer adoption
of solar energy. While historically solar energy system and energy storage system components and raw material prices have declined, the
cost of these components and raw materials have recently increased and may continue to increase in the future, and such products'
availability could decrease, due to a variety of factors, including growth in the solar energy system and energy storage system industries
and the resulting increase in demand for solar energy system and energy storage system components and the raw materials necessary to manufacture
them, supply chain disruptions, tariff penalties, duties, and trade barriers, export regulations, regulatory or contractual limitations,
industry market requirements and industry standards, changes in technology, the loss of or changes in economic governmental incentives,
inflation or other factors. An increase in the prices of solar energy system components and raw materials could slow our growth and cause
our business and results of operations to suffer. See " — Increases in the cost or reduction in supply of solar energy system
and energy storage system components due to tariffs or trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. government could have an adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations. "

 Risks Related to Operations

 We may be unable to sustain our level of profitability in the
future.

 We may incur net losses as we increase our spending to finance the
expansion of our operations, expand our installation, engineering, administrative, sales and marketing staffs, increase spending on our
brand awareness and other sales and marketing initiatives, make significant investments to drive future growth in our business and implement
internal systems and infrastructure to support our growth and operate as a publicly traded company. We do not know whether our revenue
will grow rapidly enough to absorb these costs and our limited operating history makes it difficult to assess the extent of these expenses
or their impact on our results of operations. Our ability to sustain profitability depends on a number of factors, including but not limited
to:

 growing our customer base;

 reducing our operating costs by lowering our customer acquisition costs and optimizing our design and installation processes and supply chain logistics;

 maintaining or further lowering our cost of capital;

 reducing the cost of components for our solar service offerings;

 growing and maintaining our sales network;

 maintaining high levels of product quality, performance, and customer satisfaction; and

 growing our direct-to-consumer business to scale.

 Even if we do sustain profitability, we may be unable to achieve positive
cash flows from operations in the future.

 Our growth depends in part on the success of our relationships
with third parties such as our equipment suppliers, subcontractors and dealers, including dealers who market to customers and bring the
resulting solar contracts to us for fulfillment.

 A key component of our growth strategy is to develop or expand our
relationships with third parties, such as our equipment suppliers, subcontractors and dealers. A significant portion of our business depends
on attracting and retaining new and existing sales dealers who market to customers and bring the resulting contracts to us for fulfillment.
Negotiating relationships with subcontractors, dealers and other third parties, training such third parties, and monitoring them for compliance
with our standards require significant time and resources and may present greater risks and challenges than expanding our direct sales
and installation team. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these third parties, our ability to
grow our business and address our market opportunity could be impaired. Even if we are able to establish and maintain these relationships,
we may not be able to execute our goal of leveraging these relationships to meaningfully expand our business, brand recognition and customer
base. This would limit our growth potential and our opportunities to generate significant additional revenue or cash flows.

 Due to the limited number of suppliers in our industry, the acquisition
of any of these suppliers by a competitor or any shortage, delay, price change, imposition of tariffs or duties or other limitation in
our ability to obtain components or technologies we use could result in sales and installation delays, cancellations and loss of customers.

 We purchase solar panels, inverters, energy storage systems and other
system components and instruments from a limited number of suppliers, qualified and approved by our engineering and design teams, making
us susceptible to quality issues, shortages and price changes that may occur in the supply chain. There are a limited number of suppliers
of solar energy system components, instruments and technologies, and our ability to obtain components or technologies we use could be
affected by circumstances beyond our control, including:

 Industry-wide shortages of key components and instruments, including batteries and inverters, in times of rapid industry growth. The manufacturing infrastructure for some of these components has a long lead-time, requires significant capital investment and relies on the continued availability of key commodity materials, potentially resulting in an inability to meet demand for these components. The solar industry is currently experiencing rapid growth and, as a result, shortages of key components or instruments, including solar panels, may be more likely to occur, which in turn may result in price increases for such components. Even if industry-wide shortages do not occur, suppliers may decide to allocate key components or instruments with high demand or insufficient production capacity to more profitable customers, customers with long-term supply agreements or customers other than us. As a result, our ability to originate solar energy systems and energy storage systems may be reduced.

 Natural disasters and other events beyond our control (such as earthquakes, wildfires, flooding, hurricanes, freezes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, droughts, tornadoes, power outages or other natural disasters, the effects of climate change and related extreme weather, public health issues and pandemics, war, terrorism, government restrictions or limitations on trade, impediments to international shipping and geopolitical unrest and uncertainties).

 Human rights and forced labor issues in foreign countries and the U.S. government's response to them. In particular, the withhold release order issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in June 2021 applicable to certain silica-based products manufactured in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (" XUAR ") of China, and any other allegations regarding forced labor in China and U.S. trade regulations to prohibit the importation of any goods derived from forced labor, could affect our operations. Further, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (" UFLPA ") that President Biden signed into law on December 23, 2021, which took effect on June 21, 2022, has affected and may continue to affect our supply chain and operations. Intensive examinations, withhold release orders, and related governmental procedures have resulted in supply chain and operational delays throughout the industry. These and other similar trade restrictions that may be imposed in the future could cause delivery and installation delays and restrict the global supply of polysilicon and solar products. While we believe the items described above have contributed to price increases for components that we purchase, we believe that these increases to the cost of our components were also due to a combination of other factors, including general supply chain issues resulting from COVID-19, other supply chain constraints, increased demand for solar systems in the U.S. and Europe, rising inflation, and higher labor, material, and shipping costs. We do not have information that allows us to quantify the specific amount of price increases attributable to the tariffs and trade regulations described. For more information regarding UFLPA and risks related thereto, see "— Increases in the cost or reduction in supply of solar energy system and energy storage system components due to tariffs or trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. government could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. "

 Russia's war on Ukraine. We do not materially rely directly or indirectly on goods or services sourced in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, or have any material business relationships, connections to, or assets in, Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine. While we believe Russia's war on Ukraine has contributed to price increases for components that we purchase, we believe that the increases to the cost of our components were also due to a combination of other factors, including general supply chain issues resulting from COVID-19, other supply chain constraints, tariffs and trade regulations, increased demand for solar systems in the U.S. and Europe, U.S. tariffs, rising inflation, and higher labor, material, and shipping costs. We do not have information that allows us to quantify the specific amount of price increases attributable to Russia's war on Ukraine.

 Disruptions to global shipping. Historically, we have
 relied on foreign suppliers and manufacturers for a number of solar energy system components, instruments and technologies that we
 purchase. Our success in the future may be dependent on our ability to import or transport such products from overseas vendors in a
 timely and cost-effective manner. We may rely heavily on third parties, including ocean carriers and truckers, both of which are
 experiencing disruptions, shortages and rate increases, in that process. The global shipping industry has experienced and may
 continue to experience ocean shipping disruptions, trucking shortages, increased ocean shipping rates and increased trucking and
 fuel costs. There has been and may in the future be a shortage of shipping capacity from China and other parts of Asia, among other
 regions, and as a result, our receipt of imported products may be disrupted or delayed. The shipping industry has also experienced
 issues with port congestion and pandemic-related port closures and ship diversions. The global shipping industry also experienced
 unprecedented increases in shipping rates from the trans-Pacific and other ocean carriers due to various factors, including limited
 availability of shipping capacity. In 2020, 2021, and 2022, we experienced periods of temporary delay in obtaining supplies. We
 believe these delays reduced the number of installations in comparison to what we would have been able to install without the
 delays. In 2023, we did not experience any appreciable delays in supply. We may find it necessary to rely on an increasingly expensive spot market and other alternative sources to make up any shortfall in shipping needs.

 The COVID-19 pandemic. For more information, see "— The COVID-19 pandemic, including its variants, has had, and it, along with other future pandemics, could continue to have an adverse impact on our business, operations, and the markets and communities in which we operate."

 If we cannot obtain substitute materials or components on a timely
basis or on acceptable terms, we could be prevented from installing our solar energy systems within the time frames required in our customer
contracts. Any such delays could increase our overall costs, reduce our profit, delay the timing for solar energy systems to be placed
in service and ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 We depend on a limited number of suppliers of solar energy system
components and technologies to adequately meet demand for our solar energy systems. If we needed to identify alternative suppliers or
to qualify alternative products on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to satisfy demand may be adversely affected.

 Our primary supplier is Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc (d/b/a
Greentech Renewables) (" Greentech "), from which we purchased approximately 98% of the equipment that we installed
in 2023. If Greentech or one or more of our other suppliers we rely upon to meet anticipated demand (i) ceases or reduces production due
to its financial condition, acquisition by a competitor or otherwise, (ii) is unable to increase production as industry demand increases,
(iii) raises their prices to an extent that cannot be passed on to our customers without affecting demand or (iv) is otherwise unable
to allocate sufficient production to us, it may be difficult to quickly identify alternative suppliers or to qualify alternative products
on commercially reasonable terms. As a result, our ability to satisfy demand may be adversely affected.

 Although we buy the majority of our equipment through Greentech, we
believe that if our relationship with Greentech were terminated, we could readily obtain supplies from other distributors of the same
or similar equipment, though in some locations replacement distributors may take some time to develop efficient logistics with respect
to shipping equipment directly to job sites. This could result in additional costs and delays in acquiring and deploying our solar energy
systems or energy storage systems.

 Increased scrutiny of environmental, social, and governance ("ESG")
matters could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and damage our reputation.

 In recent years, companies across all industries are facing increasing
scrutiny from a variety of stakeholders, including investor advocacy groups, proxy advisory firms, certain institutional investors and
lenders, investment funds and other influential investors and rating agencies, related to their ESG and sustainability practices. If we
do not adapt to or comply with investor or other stakeholder expectations and standards on ESG matters as they continue to evolve, or
if we are perceived to have not responded appropriately or quickly enough to growing concern for ESG and sustainability issues, regardless
of whether there is a regulatory or legal requirement to do so, we may suffer from reputational damage and our business, financial condition
and/or stock price could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate
governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. Such ratings
are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings could lead to increased negative investor
sentiment toward us and our industry and to the diversion of investment to other industries, which could have a negative impact on our
stock price and our access to and costs of capital.

 We and our suppliers and subcontractors are subject to risks
associated with construction, cost overruns, delays, customer cancellations, regulatory compliance, and other contingencies, any of which
could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 We are a licensed contractor in certain communities that we service,
and we are ultimately responsible as the contracting party for every solar energy system installation we provide. We may be liable, either
directly or through our subcontractors, to customers for any damage we cause to them, their home, belongings or property during the installation
of our systems. For example, we, either directly or through our subcontractors, frequently penetrate customers' roofs during the
installation process and may incur liability for the failure to adequately weatherproof such penetrations following the completion of
construction. In addition, because the solar energy systems we or our subcontractors deploy are high voltage energy systems, we may incur
liability for any failure to comply with electrical standards and manufacturer recommendations. Legal proceedings that are not resolved
in our favor could potentially result in fines, public reprimand, probation, or the suspension or revocation of certain of our licenses.

 Completing the sale and installation of a solar energy system requires
many different steps including a site audit, completion of designs, permitting, installation, electrical sign-off and interconnection.
Customers may cancel their customer agreement for a limited period, subject to certain conditions, and we have experienced increased customer
cancellations in certain geographic markets during certain periods in our operating history. We or our dealers or subcontractors may face
customer cancellations, delays or cost overruns, which may adversely affect our or our dealers' or contactors' ability to
ramp up the volume of sales or installations in accordance with our plans. These cancellations, delays or overruns may be the result of
a variety of factors, such as labor shortages or other labor issues, defects in materials and workmanship, adverse weather conditions,
transportation constraints, construction change orders, site changes or roof conditions, geographic factors and other unforeseen difficulties,
any of which could lead to increased cancellation rates, reputational harm and other adverse effects. For example, some customer orders
are cancelled after a site visit if we determine that a customer needs to make repairs to or install a new roof, or that there is excessive
shading on their property. If we continue to experience increased customer cancellations, our financial results may be materially and
adversely affected.

 In addition, the installation of solar energy systems and other energy-related
products requiring building modifications are subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with national, state and local laws and
ordinances relating to building, fire and electrical codes, safety, environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering, and
related matters. We also rely on certain of our and our subcontractors' employees to maintain professional licenses in many of the
jurisdictions in which we operate, and our failure to employ properly licensed personnel could adversely affect our licensing status in
those jurisdictions. It is difficult and costly to track the requirements of every individual authority having jurisdiction over our installations
and to design solar energy systems to comply with these varying standards. Any new government regulations or utility policies pertaining
to our systems may result in significant additional expenses to us and our customers and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction
in demand for our solar service offerings.

 As the demand for solar plus storage offerings grows, we anticipate
facing additional operational challenges associated with the complexity of deploying storage solutions. For example, solar plus storage
offerings tend to have longer cycle times due to factors such as lengthened permitting and inspection times and potential need of a main
panel upgrade.

 We have a variety of quality standards that we apply in the selection,
supervision, and oversight of our third-party suppliers and subcontractors. However, because our suppliers and subcontractors are third
parties, ultimately, we cannot guarantee that they will follow applicable laws and regulations, any standards we impose, or ethical business
practices, such as fair wage practices and compliance with environmental, safety and other local laws, despite our efforts to hold them
accountable to our standards. A lack of demonstrated compliance with contractual obligations, applicable laws and regulations or our standards
could lead us to seek alternative suppliers or subcontractors, which could increase our costs and result in delayed delivery or installation
of our products, product shortages or other disruptions of our operations. Violation of labor or other laws by our suppliers and subcontractors
or the divergence of a supplier's or subcontractor's labor or other practices from those generally accepted as ethical in
the United States or other markets in which we do business could also attract negative publicity for us and harm our business, brand and
reputation in the market.

 We use subcontractors to perform certain services, which makes
us vulnerable to the extent we rely on them.

 We rely on subcontractors to install some of the solar energy systems
we sell, as well as install energy efficiency equipment such as hybrid electric water heaters and pool pumps and provide roofing and insulation
services. We currently do not have long term agreements with our subcontractors. In addition, either the subcontractor or Zeo can terminate
the relationship for convenience. If a subcontractor terminates their relationship with us or refuses to continue working with us on reasonable
terms, and we cannot find a suitable replacement subcontractor on a timely basis, our business may be adversely affected.

 Compliance with occupational safety and health requirements and
best practices can be costly, and noncompliance with such requirements may result in potentially significant penalties, operational delays
and adverse publicity.

 The installation and ongoing operations and maintenance of solar energy
systems and energy storage systems requires our employees or those of third-party contractors to work with complicated and potentially
dangerous electrical systems and/or at potentially dangerous heights. The evaluation and modification of buildings as part of the installation
process requires these individuals to work in locations that may contain potentially dangerous levels of asbestos, lead, mold or other
materials known or believed to be hazardous to human health. We also maintain large fleets of vehicles that these employees use in the
course of their work. There is substantial risk of serious illness, injury, or death if proper safety procedures are not followed. Our
operations are subject to regulation under the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act (" OSHA "), Department
of Transportation regulations, and equivalent state laws. Changes to such regulatory requirements, or stricter interpretation or enforcement
of existing laws or regulations, could result in increased costs. If we fail to comply with applicable workplace safety and health regulations,
even if no work-related serious illness, injury, or death occurs, we may be subject to civil or criminal enforcement and be required to
pay substantial penalties, incur significant capital expenditures, or suspend or limit operations. Any accidents, citations, violations,
illnesses, injuries or failure to comply with industry best practices may subject us to adverse publicity, damage our reputation and competitive
position and adversely affect our business. Because individuals hired by us or on our behalf to perform installation and ongoing operations
and maintenance of our solar energy systems and energy storage systems, including our third-party contractors, are compensated on a per
project basis, they are incentivized to work more quickly than installers compensated on an hourly basis. While we have not experienced
a high level of injuries to date, this incentive structure may result in higher injury rates than others in the industry and could accordingly
expose us to increased liability.

 If we fail to manage our recent and future growth effectively,
we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of customer service, or adequately address competitive challenges.

 We have experienced significant growth in recent periods and we intend
to continue to expand our business within existing markets and in a number of new locations in the future. This growth has placed, and
any future growth may continue to place, a significant strain on our management, operational and financial infrastructure. In particular,
we have been in the past, and may in the future, be required to expand, train and manage our growing employee base and subcontractors.
Our management will also be required to maintain and expand our relationships with customers, suppliers, and other third parties and attract
new customers and suppliers, as well as to manage multiple geographic locations.

 In addition, if customer growth results in a backlog of installation
projects, our installation capacity may be outpaced by the growth of such backlog. An increase in backlog creates higher costs incurred
in the period relative to completed installations. If we fail to appropriately manage our backlog in relation to the rate at which we
install, it could adversely affect our financial performance and hinder our ability to compete effectively.

 Our current and planned operations, personnel, systems and procedures
might also be inadequate to support our future growth and may require us to make additional unanticipated investment in our infrastructure,
including additional costs for the expansion of our employee base and our subcontractors as well as marketing and branding costs. Our
success and ability to further scale our business will depend, in part, on our ability to manage these changes in a cost-effective and
efficient manner. If we cannot manage our growth, we may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities, execute our business strategies
or respond to competitive pressures. This could also result in declines in quality or customer satisfaction, increased costs, difficulties
in introducing new solar service offerings or other operational difficulties. Any failure to effectively manage growth could adversely
impact our business, operating results, financial condition and reputation.

 The execution of our growth strategy is dependent upon the continued
availability of third-party financing arrangements for our customers' purchases and is affected by general economic conditions and
other factors.

 Our growth strategy depends on third-party financing arrangements for
our customers' purchases. Most purchasers of our systems have entered into such third-party arrangements to finance their systems
over an extended period of time.

 Credit markets are unpredictable, and if they become more challenging,
customers may be unable or unwilling to finance the cost of our products or the parties that have historically provided this financing
may cease to do so, or only do so on terms that are substantially less favorable for our customers, either of which could materially and
adversely affect our revenue and growth. In addition, a rise in interest rates would likely increase our customers' cost of financing
our products and could reduce their profits and expected returns on investment in our products. The general reduction in available credit
to would-be borrowers or lessees, worldwide economic uncertainty, and the condition of worldwide housing markets could delay
or reduce our sales of products to new homebuilders and authorized resellers.

 The COVID-19 pandemic, including its variants, has
had, and it, along with other future pandemics, could continue to have an adverse impact on our business, operations, and the markets
and communities in which we operate.

 Our business and financial condition have been, and could continue
to be, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including its variants. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact
on the U.S. economy and has impacted our business. The effects of COVID-19, such as the widespread growth in infections, travel
restrictions, quarantines, return-to-work restrictions, government regulations, supply chain disruptions, workforce shortages,
and site closures have impacted and may continue to impact our ability to staff sales and operations centers and install and maintain
solar energy systems in the field, as well as direct-to-home sales activities. The rise and resurgence of increasingly infectious
variants, despite efforts to combat the virus with vaccinations, has presented additional challenges and unpredictability that have, and
may continue to have, resulted in workforce constraints, delays, and additional costs, particularly in regions experiencing significant
outbreaks.

 The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to significant volatility
in global financial markets, which could negatively affect our cost of and access to capital and could have an adverse impact on customer
demand and the financial health and credit risk associated with our customers. Future disruptions or instability in capital markets could
also negatively impact our ability to raise capital from third parties, such as tax equity partners, to grow our business. In addition,
significant inflation, a recession or a market correction resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has and could
continue to adversely affect our business. The full economic impact of the pandemic is still not known.

 COVID-19 has caused disruptions to the supply chain across the
global economy, including within the solar industry. Certain suppliers have experienced, and may continue to experience, delays related
to a variety of factors, including logistical delays and component shortages from upstream vendors. In 2020, 2021, and 2022, we experienced
periods of temporary delay in obtaining supplies. We believe these delays reduced the number of installations in comparison to what we
would have been able to install without the delays. In 2023, we did not experience any appreciable delays in supply. We continue to monitor
the situation and are working closely with our subcontractors and suppliers to develop contingency plans for potential operations and
supply chain interruptions.

 Additionally, if the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic worsen, or another
pandemic were to spread, the supply and pricing of our inverters and other goods and therefore our ability to sell new solar energy systems
could be adversely affected. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or another pandemic on our business and operations will
depend on, among other factors, the duration and severity of the outbreak, travel restrictions and business closures imposed in China
or other countries and their ability to recover from such restrictions when they are lifted, the ability of our suppliers to increase
their production of goods in jurisdictions other than China, our ability to contract for supply from other sources on acceptable terms
and the willingness of our lenders to permit us to switch suppliers. While we believe that COVID-19 has contributed to price increases
for components that we purchase, we believe that the increases to the cost of our components were also due to a combination of other factors,
including supply chain constraints, Russia's war on Ukraine, increased demand for solar systems in the U.S. and Europe, tariffs
and trade regulations, rising inflation, and higher labor, material, and shipping costs. We do not have information that allows us to
quantify the specific amount of price increases attributable to COVID-19.

 The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or other future
pandemics is highly uncertain, beyond our control, dependent on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted, and subject to
change. We will continue to monitor developments affecting our workforce, our customers, and our business operations generally and will
take additional actions that we determine are necessary in order to mitigate the impacts; however, any steps we take may be inadequate
and, as a result, our business may be harmed.

 The cost of maintenance or repair of solar energy systems or
energy storage systems throughout the period for which we have offered warranties may be higher than projected today and adversely affect
our financial performance and valuation.

 Prior to 2023, we generally provided a 25-year workmanship
warranty and 25-year roof penetration warranty to customers. Beginning in 2023, we generally provide a 10-year workmanship
warranty and a roof penetration warranty of at least five and up to twenty-five years. For the first two years of the workmanship warranty,
we cover all costs to repair failures covered by the warranty. After two years, the customer is responsible for certain "truck roll"
or service fees, but we otherwise cover the costs of repair. For leases, we provide a twenty five-year limited workmanship warranty and
cover all costs for repairs performed under such warranty.

 If a solar system or energy storage system fails or malfunctions during
the period for which we have offered our workmanship warranty and the failure is covered by such warranty, or if roof damage is covered
by the roof penetration warranty, we will incur expenses for maintenance or repair. While our subcontractors provide warranties as to
their workmanship, in the event such warranty providers file for bankruptcy, cease operations or otherwise become unable or unwilling
to fulfill their warranty obligations, we may not be adequately protected by such warranty obligations. Even if such warranty providers
fulfill their obligations, the warranty obligations may not be sufficient to protect us against all of our losses.

 Furthermore, it is difficult to predict how future environmental regulations
may affect the costs associated with the repair, removal, disposal or recycling of our solar energy systems. This could materially impair
our future operating results.

 Problems with product quality or performance may lower the residual
value of our solar energy systems and may damage our market reputation and cause our financial results to decline.

 Because of our limited operating history and the length of the term
of our warranties, we have been required to make assumptions and apply judgments regarding a number of factors, including our anticipated
rate of warranty claims and the durability, performance and reliability of our solar energy systems. Any widespread product failures or
operating deficiencies may damage our market reputation and adversely impact our financial results.

 Warranties provided by the manufacturers of equipment we sell
or service may be limited by the ability of a supplier and manufacturer to satisfy its warranty or performance obligations or by the expiration
of applicable time or liability limits, which could reduce or void the warranty protections of our customers and increase costs to customers
for the systems we offer.

 Manufacturers of the equipment we sell currently provide a manufacturer's
warranty for 25 years. If there is a covered failure of equipment, the manufacturer will pay for replacement or repair. These warranties
are subject to liability and other limits. If a customer seeks warranty protection and a warranty provider is unable or unwilling to perform
its warranty obligations, whether as a result of its financial condition or otherwise, or if the term of the warranty obligation has expired
or a liability limit has been reached, there may be a reduction or loss of protection for the affected assets and an increase in costs
to the customer. Any widespread product failures or operating deficiencies may damage our market reputation and adversely impact our financial
results.

 Product liability claims against us or accidents could result
in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages.

 It is possible the solar energy systems, energy storage systems or
other current or anticipated products or systems we sell could injure our customers or other third parties or those systems or products
could cause property damage as a result of product malfunctions, defects, improper installation, fire or other causes. We rely on third-party
manufacturing warranties and our general liability insurance to cover product liability claims and have not obtained separate product
liability insurance. Our solar energy systems, energy storage systems and other products or their components could be subject to recalls
either due to production defects or malfunctions. Any product liability claim we face could be expensive to defend and may divert management's
attention. The successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages, potential
increases in insurance expenses, penalties or fines, subject us to adverse publicity, damage our reputation and competitive position and
adversely affect sales of solar energy systems or energy storage systems. In addition, product liability claims, injuries, defects or
other problems experienced by other companies in the solar industry could lead to unfavorable market conditions to the industry as a whole
and may have an adverse effect on our ability to expand our portfolio of solar energy systems and energy storage systems, thus affecting
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Technical and regulatory limitations regarding the interconnection
of solar energy systems to the electrical grid may significantly delay interconnections and customer in-service dates, harming
our growth rate and customer satisfaction.

 Technical and regulatory limitations regarding the interconnection
of solar energy systems to the electrical grid may curb or slow our growth in key markets. Utilitie s throughout the country
follow different rules and regulations regarding interconnection and regulators or utilities have or could cap or limit the amount of
solar energy that can be interconnected to the grid. Our solar energy systems generally do not provide power to a customer's site
until they are interconnected to the grid.

 With regard to interconnection limits, the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (" FERC "), in promulgating the first form of small generator interconnection procedures, recommended
limiting customer-sited intermittent generation resources, such as our solar energy systems, to a certain percentage of peak load on a
given electrical feeder circuit. Similar limits have been adopted by many states as a de facto standard and could constrain our ability
to market to customers in certain geographic areas where the concentration of solar installations exceeds this limit.

 Furthermore, in certain areas, we benefit from policies that allow
for expedited or simplified procedures related to connecting solar energy systems and energy storage systems to the electrical grid. We
also are required to obtain interconnection permission for each solar energy system from the local utility. In many states and territories,
by statute, regulations or administrative order, there are standardized procedures for interconnecting distributed solar energy systems
and related energy storage systems to the electric utility's local distribution system. However, approval from the local utility
could be delayed as a result of a backlog of requests for interconnection or the local utility could seek to limit the number of customer
interconnections or the amount of solar energy on the grid. If expedited or simplified interconnection procedures are changed or cease
to be available, if interconnection approvals from the local utility are delayed or if the local utility seeks to limit interconnections,
this could decrease the attractiveness of new solar energy systems and energy storage systems to distributed solar power companies, including
us, and the attractiveness of solar energy systems and energy storage systems to customers. Delays in interconnections could also harm
our growth rate and customer satisfaction scores. Such limitations or delays could also adversely impact our access to capital and reduce
our willingness to pursue solar energy systems and energy storage systems due to higher operating costs. Such limitations would negatively
impact our business, results of operations, future growth and cash flows.

 As adoption of solar distributed generation rises, along with the increased
operation of utility-scale solar generation, the amount of solar energy being contributed to the electrical grid may surpass the capacity
anticipated to be needed to meet aggregate demand. If solar generation resources reach a level capable of producing an over-generation
situation, some existing solar generation resources may have to be curtailed to maintain operation of the electrical grid. In the event
such an over-generation situation were to occur, this could also result in a prohibition on the installation of new solar generation resources.
The adverse effects of such a curtailment or prohibition without compensation could adversely impact our business, results of operations,
future growth and cash flows.

 Our headquarters and other facilities, the facilities of certain
subcontractors and suppliers, and our customers are concentrated in certain regions, putting us at risk of region-specific disruptions,
including hurricanes or other extreme weather events.

 For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, approximately 92% of
our sales were made in Florida. This concentration of our customer base and operational infrastructure could lead to our business and
results of operations being particularly susceptible to adverse economic, regulatory, political, weather and other conditions in this
market and in other markets that may become similarly concentrated.

 Our headquarters are also located in Florida, and we have offices and
operations in Texas and Arkansas, operations in Missouri, and sales, marketing and executive offices in Utah. Any significant epidemic,
hurricane, earthquake, flood, fire, or other natural disaster in these areas or in countries where our suppliers or the manufacturers
of the products we sell are located could materially disrupt our operations, result in damage or destruction of all or a portion of our
facilities or result in our experiencing a significant delay in delivery, or substantial shortage, of our products and services.

 We may not have adequate insurance, including business interruption
insurance, to compensate us for losses that may occur from any such significant events. A significant natural disaster such as a hurricane,
a public health crisis such as a pandemic, or civil unrest could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations
and financial condition. In addition, acts of terrorism or malicious computer viruses could cause disruptions in our or our subcontractors'
and suppliers' businesses or the economy as a whole. To the extent that these disruptions result in delays or cancellations of installations
or the deployment of our solar service offerings, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

 Expansion into new sales channels could be costly and time-consuming.
As we enter new channels, we could be at a disadvantage relative to other companies who have more history in these spaces.

 If we expand into new sales channels, such as direct-to-home, homebuilder,
retail, and e-commerce channels, or adapt to a remote selling model, we may incur significant costs. In addition, we may not
initially or ever be successful in utilizing these new channels. Furthermore, we may not be able to compete successfully with companies
with a historical presence in such channels, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of entering such channels, including efficiently
increasing our customer base and ultimately reducing costs. Entering new channels also poses the risk of conflicts between sales channels.
If we are unable to successfully compete in new channels, our operating results and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

 Obtaining a sales contract with a potential customer does not
guarantee that the potential customer will not decide to cancel or that we will not need to cancel due to a failed inspection, which could
cause us to generate no revenue despite incurring costs and adversely affect our results of operations.

 Even after we secure a sales contract with a potential customer, we
(either directly or through our subcontractors) must perform an inspection to ensure the home, including the rooftop, meets our standards
and specifications. If the inspection finds repairs to the rooftop are required in order to satisfy our standards and specifications to
install the solar energy system, and a potential customer does not want to make such required repairs, we would lose that anticipated
sale. In addition, per the terms of our customer agreements, a customer maintains the ability to cancel for a limited time after execution
of the agreement, and in some other circumstances subject to specified conditions. An accumulation of delays or cancellations of anticipated
sales could materially and adversely affect our financial results, as we may have incurred sales-related, design-related, and other expenses
and generated no revenue.

 We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future
investments, strategic transactions, or acquisitions, and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business and management.

 We have in the past and may in the future acquire one or more companies,
project pipelines, projects, solar renewable energy credits (" SRECs "), products, or technologies or enter into
joint ventures or other strategic transactions. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future investments, strategic transactions,
or acquisitions, and these transactions involve numerous risks that are not within our control. These risks include the following, among
others:

 failure to satisfy the required conditions and otherwise complete a planned acquisition, joint venture or other strategic transaction on a timely basis or at all;

 legal or regulatory proceedings, if any, relating to a planned acquisition, joint venture or other strategic transaction and the outcome of such legal proceedings;

 difficulty in assimilating the operations, systems, and personnel of the acquired company;

 difficulty in effectively integrating the acquired technologies or products with our current products and technologies;

 difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration;

 disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of our management and employees from other opportunities and challenges due to integration issues;

 difficulty integrating the acquired company's accounting, management information and other administrative systems;

 inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel of the acquired business;

 inability to retain key customers, vendors and other business partners of the acquired business;

 inability to achieve the financial and strategic goals for the acquired and combined businesses;

 incurring acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets that could impact our results of operations;

 significant post-acquisition investments that may lower the actual benefits realized through the acquisition;

 potential failure of the due diligence processes to identify significant issues with product quality, legal, and financial liabilities, among other things;

 moderating and anticipating the impacts of inherent or emerging seasonality in acquired customer agreements;

 potential inability to assert that internal controls over financial reporting are effective; and

 potential inability to obtain, or obtain in a timely manner, approvals from governmental authorities, which could delay or prevent such acquisitions.

 Our failure to address these risks, or other problems encountered in
connection with our past or future investments, strategic transactions, or acquisitions, could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated
benefits of these acquisitions or investments, cause us to incur unanticipated liabilities, and harm our business generally. Future acquisitions
could also result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses,
incremental expenses or the write-off of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition or results of operations.

 Mergers and acquisitions are inherently risky, may not produce the
anticipated benefits and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 Disruptions to solar production metering and energy storage solutions
could negatively impact customer experiences, which could damage our market reputation and adversely impact our financial results.

 Our customers' ability to monitor solar energy production for
various purposes depends on the operation of the metering solution. For example, some meters and/or inverters operate on either the 3G
or 4G cellular data networks, which are expected to sunset in the near future, and newer technologies we use today may also become obsolete.
Disruptions to solar production metering and energy storage solutions could negatively impact customer experiences, which could damage
our market reputation and adversely impact our financial results.

 Our business may be harmed if we fail to properly protect our
intellectual property, or if we are required to defend against claims or indemnify others against claims that we infringe on the intellectual
property rights of third parties.

 We believe that the success of our business depends in part on our
proprietary information, processes and know-how. We rely on copyright and trade secret protections to secure our intellectual
property. We also typically require employees, consultants, and third parties, such as our vendors and customers, with access to our proprietary
information to execute confidentiality agreements. Although we may incur substantial costs in protecting our intellectual property, we
cannot be certain that we have adequately protected or will be able to adequately protect it because, among other reasons:

 others may not be deterred from misappropriating our intellectual property despite the existence of laws or contracts prohibiting such misappropriation and information security measures designed to deter or prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property;

 we have not obtained intellectual property assignment agreements from our founders or from a contract developer of certain software that we intend to use;

 foreign intellectual property laws and associated foreign legal enforcement regimes may not adequately protect our intellectual property rights; and

 policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property may be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, the remedy obtained may be inadequate to restore protection of our intellectual property, and moreover, we may be unable to determine the extent of any unauthorized use.

 In addition, we cannot be certain that our intellectual property provides
us with a competitive advantage. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to develop similar intellectual property
independently or obtain and use our intellectual property without our consent. Reverse engineering, unauthorized copying, or other misappropriation
of our intellectual property could enable third parties to benefit from our intellectual property without compensating us for doing so.
Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, any other inability to adequately protect our proprietary rights, and
the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights may adversely affect our business.

 In the future, we may also be required to defend against claims that
we have infringed on the intellectual property of third parties, and we cannot be certain that we will prevail in any intellectual property
dispute. Any future litigation required to enforce our intellectual property, to protect our trade secrets or know-how or to
defend us or indemnify others against claimed infringement of the rights of third parties could harm our business, financial condition,
and results of operations.

 We use "open source" software components in our solutions
as well as other licensed software, which may require that we release the source code of certain software subject to open source licenses
or subject us to possible litigation or other actions that could adversely affect our business.

 We utilize software that is licensed under so-called "open
source," "free" or other similar licenses, or that contain components that are licensed in such manner. Our use of open
source software may entail different or greater risks than use of third-party commercial software. Open source licensors sometimes do
not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code, and open source software
is sometimes made available to the general public on an "as-is" basis under the terms of a non-negotiable license.
In addition, if we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain open source
licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public. We do not believe we have combined any of
our proprietary software with open source software in such a manner, but if that were to occur this would allow our competitors to create
similar offerings with lower development effort and time.

 We may also face claims alleging noncompliance with open source license
terms or other license terms, or infringement or misappropriation of proprietary software. These claims could result in litigation, require
us to purchase a costly license or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our software, any of which
would have a negative effect on our business and results of operations. Few courts have interpreted open source licenses and these licenses
could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to use our proprietary software.
We cannot guarantee that we have incorporated or will incorporate open source or other software in our software in a manner that will
not subject us to liability or require us to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public.

 Any security breach, unauthorized access or disclosure, or theft
of data, including personal information, we, our third party service providers, and suppliers gather, store, transmit, and use, or other
hacking, cyber-attack, phishing attack, and unauthorized intrusions into or through our systems or those of our third party service providers,
could harm our reputation, subject us to claims, litigation, financial harm, and have an adverse impact on our business.

 In the ordinary course of business, we, our third party providers upon
which we rely and our suppliers receive, store, transmit and use data, including the personal information of customers, such as names,
addresses, email addresses, credit information and other housing and energy use information, as well as the personal information of our
employees. Unauthorized disclosure of such personal information, whether through a breach of our or our third party service providers'
and suppliers' systems by an unauthorized party, including, but not limited to hackers, threat actors, sophisticated nation-states,
nation-state-supported actors, personnel theft or misuse of information or otherwise, could harm our business. In addition, we, our third
party service providers upon which we rely and our suppliers may be subject to a variety of evolving threats, such as computer malware
(including as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), ransomware, malicious code (such as viruses or worms), social engineering
(including spear phishing and smishing attacks), telecommunications failures, natural disasters and extreme weather events, general hacking
and other similar threats. Cybersecurity incidents have become more prevalent. As of the date of this Report, we have not experienced
a material cybersecurity incident. However, cybersecurity incidents could occur on our systems and those of our third parties in the future.
Our team members who work remotely pose increased risks to our information technology systems and data, because many of them utilize less
secure network connections outside our premises.

 Inadvertent disclosure of confidential data, such as personal information,
or unauthorized access to this type of data in our possession by a third party, could result in future claims or litigation arising from
damages suffered by those affected, government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits and inspections),
additional reporting requirements and/or oversight, indemnification obligations, reputational harm, interruptions in our operations, financial
loss and other similar harms. In addition, we could incur significant costs in complying with the multitude of federal, state and local
laws, and applicable independent security control frameworks, regarding the unauthorized disclosure of personal information. Although
to our knowledge we have not experienced a material information security breach, we cannot assure you that the systems and processes we
have to prevent or detect security breaches and protect the confidential information we receive, store, transmit and use, will provide
absolute security. Finally, any perceived or actual unauthorized disclosure of such information, unauthorized intrusion or other cyberthreat
could harm our reputation, substantially impair our ability to attract and retain customers, interrupt our operations and have an adverse
impact on our business.

 Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where
they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages
or claims related to our data privacy and security obligations.

 Terrorist attacks or cyberattacks against centralized utilities
could adversely affect our business.

 Assets owned by utilities such as substations and related infrastructure
have been physically attacked in the past and will likely be attacked in the future. These facilities are often protected by limited security
measures, such as perimeter fencing. Any such attacks may result in interruption to electricity flowing on the grid and consequently interrupt
service to our solar energy systems not combined with an energy storage system, which could adversely affect our operations. Furthermore,
cyberattacks, whether by individuals or nation states, against utility companies could severely disrupt their business operations and
result in loss of service to customers, which would adversely affect our operations.

 We may be subject to information technology system failures or
network disruptions that could damage our business operations, financial conditions or reputation.

 We may be subject to information technology system failures and network
disruptions. These may be caused by natural disasters, accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of terrorism or
war, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar events or disruptions. System redundancy may be ineffective
or inadequate, and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities. Such failures or disruptions could result
in delayed or cancelled orders. System failures and disruptions could also impede the manufacturing and shipping of products, delivery
of online services, transactions processing and financial reporting. Such system failures or network disruptions could damage our business
operations, financial conditions or reputation.

 Damage to our brand and reputation or failure to expand our brand would harm our business and results of operations.

 We depend significantly on our brand and reputation for high-quality
solar service offerings, engineering and customer service to attract customers, contractors and dealers, and grow our business. If we
fail to continue to deliver our solar service offerings within the planned timelines, if our solar service offerings do not perform as
anticipated or if we damage any customers' properties or cancel projects, our brand and reputation could be significantly impaired.
We also depend greatly on referrals from customers for our growth. Therefore, our inability to meet or exceed customers' expectations
would harm our reputation and growth through referrals. We have at times focused particular attention on expeditiously growing our direct
sales force and our contractors, leading us in some instances to hire personnel or contractors who we may later determine do not fit our
company culture and standards.

 Given the sheer volume of interactions our sales force, dealers and
contractors have with customers and potential customers, it is also unavoidable that some interactions will be perceived by customers
and potential customers as less than satisfactory and result in complaints. If we cannot manage our hiring and training processes to limit
potential issues and maintain appropriate customer service levels, our brand and reputation may be harmed and our ability to grow our
business would suffer. In addition, if we were unable to achieve a similar level of brand recognition as our competitors, some of which
may have a broader brand footprint, more resources and longer operational history, we could lose recognition in the marketplace among
prospective customers, suppliers and subcontractors, which could affect our growth and financial performance. Our growth strategy involves
marketing and branding initiatives that will involve incurring significant expenses in advance of corresponding revenue. We cannot assure
you that such marketing and branding expenses will result in the successful expansion of our brand recognition or increase our revenue.
We are also subject to marketing and advertising regulations in various jurisdictions, and overly restrictive conditions on our marketing
and advertising activities may inhibit the sales of the affected products.

 The loss of one or more members of our senior management or key
personnel may adversely affect our operations.

 We depend on our experienced management team, and the loss of one or
more key executives could have a negative impact on our business. With any change in leadership, there is a risk to organizational effectiveness
and employee retention as well as the potential for disruption to our business. We may be unable to replace key members of our management
team and key personnel in the event we lose their services. Integrating new personnel into our management team could prove disruptive
to our operations, require substantial resources and management attention and ultimately prove unsuccessful. An inability to attract and
retain sufficient managerial personnel who have critical industry experience and relationships could limit or delay our strategic efforts,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 A failure to hire and retain a sufficient number of employees
and service providers in key functions would constrain our growth and our ability to timely complete customers' projects and successfully
manage customer accounts.

 To support our growth, we need to hire, train, deploy, manage and retain
a substantial number of skilled employees, engineers, design techs, installers, electricians, operations and sales managers and sales
personnel.

 Competition for qualified personnel in our industry is increasing,
particularly for skilled personnel involved in the installation of solar energy systems. We have in the past been, and may in the future
be, unable to attract or retain qualified and skilled installation personnel or installation companies to be our subcontractors, which
would have an adverse effect on our business. We and our subcontractors also compete with the homebuilding and construction industries
for skilled labor. As these industries grow and seek to hire additional workers, our cost of labor may increase. The unionization of the
industry's labor force could also increase our labor costs. Shortages of skilled labor could significantly delay a project or otherwise
increase our costs. Because our profit on a particular installation is based in part on assumptions as to the cost of such project, cost
overruns, delays or other execution issues may cause us to not achieve our expected margins or cover our costs for that project. Further,
we need to continue to expand upon the training of our customer service team to provide high-end account management and service
to customers before, during and following the point of installation of our solar energy systems. Identifying and recruiting qualified
personnel and training them requires significant time, expense and attention. It can take several months before a new customer service
team member is fully trained and productive at the standards that we have established. If we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented
technical and customer service personnel, we may not be able to realize the expected benefits of this investment or grow our business.

 In addition, to support the growth and success of our direct-to-consumer channel,
we need to recruit, retain and motivate a large number of sales personnel on a continuing basis. We compete with many other companies
for qualified sales personnel, and it could take many months before a new salesperson is fully trained on our solar service offerings.
If we are unable to hire, develop and retain qualified sales personnel or if they are unable to achieve desired productivity levels, we
may not be able to compete effectively.

 If we or our subcontractors cannot meet our hiring, retention and efficiency
goals, we may be unable to complete customers' projects on time or manage customer accounts in an acceptable manner or at all. Any
significant failures in this regard would materially impair our growth, reputation, business and financial results. If we are required
to pay higher compensation than we anticipate, these greater expenses may also adversely impact our financial results and the growth of
our business.

 Regulators may limit the type of electricians qualified to install
and service our solar and battery systems, or introduce other requirements on our installation staff, which may result in workforce shortages,
operational delays, and increased costs.

 Regulators may limit the type of electricians qualified to install
and service our solar and battery systems, such as requiring that electricians installing such systems have a certain license, or introduce
other requirements that would apply to our installation staff. While our workforce includes workers licensed to install and service our
solar and battery systems, if we are unable to hire, develop and retain sufficient certified electricians, we may face operational delays
and increased costs. In addition, our growth may be significantly constrained, which would negatively impact our operating results.

 We have previously been subject to, and we may in the future
be subject to, regulatory inquiries and litigation, all of which are costly, distracting to our core business and could result in an unfavorable
outcome, or a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or the trading price of our securities.

 We have previously been subject to regulatory inquiries and litigation,
and in the future, we may be involved in legal proceedings and receive inquiries from government and regulatory agencies from time to
time. In the event that we are involved in significant disputes or are the subject of a formal action by a regulatory agency, we could
be exposed to costly and time-consuming legal proceedings that could result in any number of outcomes. Although outcomes of such actions
vary, any current or future claims or regulatory actions initiated by or against us, whether successful or not, could result in significant
costs, costly damage awards or settlement amounts, injunctive relief, increased costs of business, fines or orders to change certain business
practices, significant dedication of management time or diversion of significant operational resources, or otherwise harm our business.

 If we are not successful in any legal proceedings and litigation, we
may be required to pay significant monetary damages, which could hurt our results of operations. Lawsuits are time-consuming and expensive
to resolve and divert management's time and attention. Although we carry general liability insurance, our insurance may not cover
potential claims or may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed. We cannot predict how the courts will rule
in any potential lawsuit against us. Decisions in favor of parties that bring lawsuits against us could subject us to significant liability
for damages, adversely affect our results of operations and harm our reputation.

 If we are unsuccessful in selling new services and products,
our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 In the future, we may offer new products or services. There is a risk
that such products or services may not work as intended, or that the marketing of the products or services may not be as successful as
anticipated. The sale of new products and services generally requires substantial investment. We intend to continue to make substantial
investments in new products and services, and it is possible that we may not acquire new products or product enhancements that compete
effectively within our target markets or differentiate our products based on functionality, performance or cost, and thus our new products
may not result in meaningful revenue. In addition, any delays in releasing new or enhanced products or services could cause us to lose
revenue opportunities and potential customers. Any technical flaws in product releases could diminish the innovative impact of our products
and have a negative effect on customer adoption and our reputation. If we fail to introduce new products or services that meet the demands
of our customers or target markets or do not achieve market acceptance, or if we fail to penetrate new markets, our business, financial
conditions and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 Our operating results and our ability to grow may fluctuate on
a seasonal basis and from quarter to quarter and year to year, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could
cause our operating results for a particular period to fall below expectations.

 Our quarterly and annual operating results and our ability to grow
are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly in the future. Historically, our sales volume has been highest during late spring,
summer, and early fall. During this time, consumers in many locations see greater energy needs due to operating air conditioning systems
and warm-weather appliances such as swimming pool pumps. Our door-to-door sales efforts are also aided during these months by
increased daylight hours, and we have more sales personnel working during these months. We typically have largely or entirely scaled down
our sales efforts during the late fall, winter and early spring. Snow, cold weather or other inclement weather can delay our installation
of products and services.

 We have experienced seasonal and quarterly fluctuations in the past
and expect to experience such fluctuations in the future. In addition to the other risks described in this " Risk Factors "
section, the following factors could cause our operating results to fluctuate:

 expiration or initiation of
any governmental rebates or incentives;

 significant fluctuations in
customer demand for our solar energy services, solar energy systems and energy storage systems;

 our subcontractors' ability
to complete installations in a timely manner;

 our and our subcontractors'
ability to gain interconnection permission for an installed solar energy system from the relevant utility;

 the availability, terms and
costs of suitable financing;

 our ability to continue to
expand our operations and the amount and timing of expenditures related to this expansion;

 announcements by us or our
competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital-raising activities or commitments;

 changes in our pricing policies
or terms or those of our competitors, including electric utilities;

 actual or anticipated developments
in our competitors' businesses, technology or the competitive landscape; and

 natural disasters or other
weather or meteorological conditions.

 For these or other reasons, the results of any prior quarterly or annual
periods should not be relied upon as indications of our future performance.

 We may be unable to generate sufficient cash flows or obtain
access to external financing necessary to fund our operations and make adequate capital investments as planned due to the general economic
environment, cost inflation, and/or the market pressure driving down the average selling prices of our products and services, among other
factors.

 To acquire new products, support future growth, achieve operating efficiencies
and maintain product quality, we may need to make significant capital investments in product and process technology as well as enhancing
our digital capabilities. The delayed disposition of such projects, or the inability to realize the full anticipated value of such projects
on disposition, could have a negative impact on our liquidity.

 Certain municipalities where we install systems also require performance
bonds in cash, issued by an insurance company or bonding agency, or bank guarantees or letters of credit issued by financial institutions,
which are returned to us upon satisfaction of contractual requirements.

 We manage our working capital requirements and fund our committed capital
expenditures with our current cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations. If our capital resources are insufficient
to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity investments or debt securities or obtain debt financing.
Market conditions, however, could limit our ability to raise capital by issuing new equity or debt securities on acceptable terms, or
at all, and lenders may be unwilling to lend funds on acceptable terms, or at all. The sale of additional equity investments may result
in additional dilution to our equity holders. Debt financing would result in increased expenses and could impose new restrictive covenants.
Financing arrangements may not be available to us or may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If financing is not
available, we may be forced to seek to sell assets or reduce or delay capital investments, any of which could adversely affect our business,
results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

 If we cannot generate sufficient cash flows, find other sources of
capital to fund our operations and projects, make adequate capital investments to remain technologically and price competitive, or provide
bonding or letters of credit required by our projects, we may need to sell additional equity investments or debt securities, or obtain
debt financings. If adequate funds from these or other sources are not available on acceptable terms or at all, our ability to fund our
operations, including making digital investments, develop and expand our distribution network, maintain our research and development efforts,
meet any debt service obligations we take on in the future or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly impaired.
Our inability to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.

 Inflation could result in decreased value from future contractual
payments and higher expenses for labor and equipment, which, in turn, could adversely impact our reputation, business, financial condition,
cash flows and results of operations.

 Any future increase in inflation may adversely affect our costs, including
our subcontractors' cost of labor and equipment, and may result in a decrease in value in our future contractual payments. These
factors could adversely impact our reputation, business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

 While we believe that inflationary pressures have contributed to increased
costs of labor and components that we purchase, we believe that the increased cost of these items were also due to a combination of other
factors, including general supply chain issues resulting from COVID-19, other supply chain constraints, increased demand for solar systems
in the U.S. and Europe and tariffs and trade regulations. We do not have information that allows us to quantify the specific amount of
cost increases attributable to inflationary pressures.

 Fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our business
and financial results.

 We are exposed to interest rate risk because many of our customers
depend on debt financing to purchase our solar power systems. An increase in interest rates could make it difficult for our customers
to obtain the financing necessary to purchase our solar power systems on favorable terms, or at all, and thus lower demand for our solar
power products, reduce revenue and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow. An increase in interest rates could lower
a customer's return on investment in a system or make alternative investments more attractive relative to solar power systems, which,
in each case, could cause our customers to seek alternative investments that promise higher returns or demand higher returns from our
solar power systems, which could reduce our revenue and gross margin and adversely affect our financial results. While we believe that
increases in interest rates have led to higher financing costs for our customers, lower demand for our products and lower revenue than
we would have otherwise experienced, we do not have information that allows us to quantify the adverse affects attributable to increased
interest rates.

 We may incur debt in the future, which could introduce debt servicing
costs and risks to our business.

 We and our subsidiaries may incur debt in the future, and such debt
arrangements may restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. These restrictions could inhibit
our ability to pursue our business strategies. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into debt instruments
on acceptable terms or at all. If we were unable to satisfy financial covenants and other terms under new instruments, or obtain waivers
or forbearance from our lenders, or if we were unable to obtain refinancing or new financings for our working capital, equipment, and
other needs on acceptable terms if and when needed, our business would be adversely affected.

 So long as the convertible
preferred units (the " Convertible OpCo Preferred Units") of OpCo remain outstanding, the Sponsor holds certain consent
rights over OpCo's ability to incur indebtedness, which could adversely affect the future business and operations of OpCo and Zeo,
including by decreasing its business flexibility.

 The terms of the amended and restated limited liability company agreement
of OpCo (the " OpCo A&R LLC Agreement ") grant Sponsor certain consent rights with respect to certain
actions, including OpCo's incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money, subject to certain enumerated exceptions, so long as the
Convertible OpCo Preferred Units remain outstanding. As a result, OpCo needs to obtain the prior written consent of Sponsor before incurring
any additional indebtedness (subject to the terms of OpCo A&R LLC Agreement). Because Sponsor has interests that are different than,
or in addition to and which may conflict with, the interests of OpCo and Zeo, there is no assurance that Sponsor will consent to any proposed
future incurrence of debt. Therefore, Sponsor has the ability to influence the outcome of certain matters affecting OpCo and Zeo, and
OpCo may be unable to raise additional debt financing to operate during general economic or business downturns, take advantage of new
business opportunities, and/or pursue its business strategies.

 We have suppliers that are based or manufacture the products
we sell outside the United States, which may subject us to additional business risks, including logistical complexity and political instability.

 A portion of our supply agreements are with manufacturers and equipment
vendors located outside of the United States. Risks we face in conducting business internationally include:

 multiple, conflicting and changing
laws and regulations relating to employment, safety, environmental protection, international trade, and other government approvals, permits,
and licenses and regulatory requirements;

 financial risks, such as longer
sales and payment cycles, greater difficulty enforcing rights and remedies and capital controls or other restrictions on the transfer
of funds;

 currency fluctuations, government-fixed
foreign exchange rates, the effects of currency hedging activity and the potential inability to hedge currency fluctuations;

 the effects of Russia's
war against Ukraine and other political and economic instability, including wars, acts of terrorism, political unrest, boycotts, curtailments
of trade, nationalization of assets, and other business restrictions;

 trade barriers such as import
and export requirements or restrictions, licensing requirements, tariffs, taxes and other restrictions and expenses for which we may
have responsibility, which could increase the prices of our products; and

 liabilities associated with
compliance with laws (for example, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (" FCPA ") in the United States and similar
laws outside of the United States).

 the effects of Russia's
war on Ukraine, which, while we believe Russia's war on Ukraine has contributed to price increases for components that we purchase,
we believe that the increases to the cost of our components were also due to a combination of other factors, including general supply
chain issues resulting from COVID-19, other supply chain constraints, increased demand for solar systems in the U.S. and Europe, tariffs
and trade regulations, rising inflation, and higher labor, material, and shipping costs. We do not have information that allows us to
quantify the specific amount of price increases attributable to Russia's war on Ukraine and do not materially rely directly or
indirectly on goods or services sources in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus or have any material business relationships, connections to, or
assets in, Russia, Belarus or Ukraine.

 We must work with our suppliers to effectively manage the flow of products
in light of these risks. If we fail to do so, our available inventory may not correspond with product demand. If we are unable to successfully
manage any such risks, any one or more could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.

 We are currently dependent on third-party leasing companies to
offer customers the option of leasing our solar energy systems.

 As of the date of this Report, our customers who have entered into
leasing agreements have done so solely with third-party leasing companies established and managed by White Horse Energy. Thus far, such
companies have had sufficient assets to finance the purchase of systems for each of our customers who have signed agreements for leased
solar energy systems to be installed on their home and for whom the installation processes have been completed. However, no assurance
can be given that this will continue. Additionally, if such companies decide not to continue to provide financing for leases due to general
market conditions, changes in tax benefits associated with our solar systems, concerns about our business or prospects, or any other reason,
or if they materially change the terms under which they are willing to pay us to install and service leased solar energy systems, we will
need to identify new leasing partners and negotiate new terms.

 We intend to seek out additional third-party investors to provide
financing for customers wishing to lease their solar energy systems. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully
do so.

 System leases represented 8% of our installations in 2023, though we
expect that percentage to increase in 2024. If (i) Solar terminates their relationship with us, (ii) Solar does not have sufficient assets
in the future to provide financing for customers wishing to lease their solar energy systems, or (iii) we cannot enter into new arrangements
with other third-party investors to provide financing for customers wishing to lease their solar energy systems, we may be unable to continue
to increase the size of our residential lease program, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
cash flows, and financial condition in the future.

 We typically bear the cost of maintenance and repair on solar
energy systems we install that are owned and leased by third-party leasing companies.

 We are obligated through a maintenance services agreement to provide
maintenance and repair services for solar energy systems we install that are leased by third-party leasing companies to homeowners. In
the maintenance services agreement, we have agreed to maintain the leased systems for a fixed fee that is calculated to cover our future
expected maintenance costs. If our solar energy systems require an above-average amount of repairs or if the cost of repairing systems
were higher than our estimate, we may need to perform such services without additional compensation.

 Members of our management team have interests in or are employed
by other business ventures that may divert their attention from our business.

 Members of our management team presently have, and may in the future
have additional, ownership interests in, employment by and/or fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities with which they are
affiliated with (such as Solar). Such other ventures and entities could divert the attention of our management from our business or create
conflicts of interests.

 Risks Related to Regulation and Policy

 Our business currently depends on the availability of utility
rebates, tax credits and other benefits, tax exemptions and exclusions, and other financial incentives on the federal, state, and/or local
levels. We may be adversely affected by changes in, and application of these laws or other incentives to us, and the expiration, elimination
or reduction of these benefits could adversely impact our business.

 Our business depends on government policies that promote and support
solar energy and enhance the economic viability of owning solar energy systems. U.S. federal, state and local governmental bodies provide
incentives to owners, distributors, installers and manufacturers of solar energy systems to promote solar energy. These incentives include
an investment tax credit (" Commercial ITC ") and income tax credit offered by the federal government, as well
as other tax credits, rebates and SRECs associated with solar energy generation. We rely on these incentives to lower our cost of capital
and to attract investors, all of which enable us to lower the price we charge customers for our solar service offerings. These incentives
have had a significant impact on the development of solar energy but they could change at any time, as further described below. These
incentives may also expire on a particular date, end when the allocated funding is exhausted, or be reduced, terminated or repealed without
notice. The financial value of certain incentives may also decrease over time.

 In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Job Acts of 2017 (the " Tax
Act ") was enacted. As part of the Tax Act, the corporate income tax rate was reduced, and there were other changes, including
limiting or eliminating various other deductions, credits and tax preferences. The IRA implemented a corporate alternative minimum tax
of 15% of financial statement income (subject to certain adjustments) for companies that report over $1 billion in profits to shareholders;
similar to existing law, business credits (including Commercial ITCs) are limited to 75% of income in excess of $25,000 (with no limit
against the first $25,000). We cannot predict whether and to what extent the U.S. corporate income tax rate will change under the Biden
administration. The U.S. Congress is constantly considering changes to the tax code. Further limitations on, or elimination of, the tax
benefits that support the financing of solar energy under current U.S. law could significantly and adversely impact our business.

 Our business model also relies on multiple tax exemptions offered at
the state and local levels. For example, some states have property tax exemptions that exempt the value of solar energy systems in determining
values for calculation of local and state real and personal property taxes. State and local tax exemptions can have sunset dates, triggers
for loss of the exemption, and can be changed by state legislatures and other regulators, and if solar energy systems were not exempt
from such taxes, the property taxes payable by customers would be higher, which could offset any potential savings our solar service offerings
could offer. Similarly, if state or local legislatures or tax administrators impose property taxes on third-party owners of solar energy
systems, solar companies like us would be subject to higher costs.

 In general, we rely on certain state and local tax exemptions that
apply to the sale of equipment, sale of power, or both. These state and local tax exemptions can expire, can be changed by state legislatures,
or their application to us can be challenged by regulators, tax administrators, or court rulings. Any changes to, or efforts to overturn,
federal and state laws, regulations or policies that are supportive of solar energy generation or that remove costs or other limitations
on other types of energy generation that compete with solar energy projects could materially and adversely affect our business.

 We rely on certain utility rate structures, such as net metering,
to offer competitive pricing to customers, and changes to those policies may significantly reduce demand for electricity from our solar
energy systems.

 As of December 31, 2023, a substantial majority of states have adopted
net metering policies, including Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri. Net metering policies allow homeowners to serve their own energy
load using on-site generation while avoiding the full retail volumetric charge for electricity. Electricity that is generated
by a solar energy system and consumed on-site avoids a retail energy purchase from the applicable utility, and excess electricity
that is exported back to the electric grid generates a retail credit within a homeowner's monthly billing period. At the end of
the monthly billing period, if the homeowner has generated excess electricity within that month, the homeowner typically carries forward
a credit for any excess electricity to be offset against future utility energy purchases. At the end of an annual billing period or calendar
year, utilities either continue to carry forward a credit, or reconcile the homeowner's final annual or calendar year bill using
different rates (including zero credit) for the exported electricity.

 Utilities, their trade associations, and fossil fuel interests in the
country are currently challenging net metering policies, and seeking to eliminate them, cap them, reduce the value of the credit provided
to homeowners for excess generation, or impose charges on homeowners that have net metering.

 A few states have moved away from traditional full retail net metering
and instead values excess generation by customers' solar systems in various ways. For example, in 2017, Nevada enacted legislation
to restore net metering at a reduced credit and guarantee new customers the net metering rate in effect at the time they applied for interconnection
for 20 years. In 2016, the Arizona Corporation Commission replaced retail net metering with a net-feed in tariff (a fixed export
rate). Some states set limits on the total percentage of a utility's customers that can adopt net metering or set a timeline to
evaluate net metering successor tariffs. For example, South Carolina passed legislation in 2019 that required review of net metering after
two years. In 2021, the South Carolina Public Service Commission approved a portion of Duke Energy's proposal that maintains the
net metering framework with time-of-use rates and rejected a proposal from Dominion Energy to eliminate net metering altogether.
In 2021 legislation, Illinois changed its net metering threshold from a percentage of customers to full retail net metering offered to
a date certain (December 31, 2024) with a directed successor tariff that includes values that distributed resources provide to the distribution
grid. New Jersey currently has no net metering cap; however, it has a threshold that triggers commission review of its net metering policy.
States we serve now or in the future may adopt similar policies or net metering caps. If the net metering caps in these jurisdictions
are reached without an extension of net metering policies, homeowners in those jurisdictions will not have access to the economic value
proposition net metering provides. Our ability to sell our solar service offerings may be adversely impacted by the failure to extend
existing limits to net metering or the elimination of currently existing net metering policies. The failure to adopt a net metering policy
where it currently is not in place would pose a barrier to entry in those states. On April 26, 2022, Florida Governor DeSantis vetoed
legislation that would have established a threshold date and percentage trigger when retail net metering would have faced declines in
the immediate export rate.

 Additionally, the imposition of charges that only or disproportionately
impact homeowners that have solar energy systems, or the introduction of rate designs mentioned above, would adversely impact our business.
Because fixed charges cannot easily be avoided with the installation of an on-site battery, which can mitigate or eliminate
the negative impacts of net metering changes, these fixed charges have the potential to cause a more significant adverse impact. In June
of 2021, two of four commissioners of FERC, including its chairperson, issued a letter stating there was a "strong case" such
fixed charges in Alabama "may be violating the Commission's PURPA regulations, undermining the statute's purpose of
encouraging Qualifying Facilities," which is the Commission's term for on-site generation. Litigation regarding
the legality of these charges is ongoing in federal court. Most recently, on April 26, 2022, Florida Governor DeSantis vetoed legislation
that would have allowed investor-owned utilities to petition the Public Service Commission for the ability to add fixed charges on solar
customers. As part of the California Public Utilities Commission (" CPUC ") final decision on December 15, 2022,
the CPUC rejected a solar specific fixed charge on solar customers.

 Electric utility policies, statutes, and regulations and changes
to such statutes or regulations may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of our solar energy offerings
that may significantly reduce demand for such offerings.

 Federal, state and local government policies, statutes and regulations
concerning electricity heavily influence the market for our solar energy offerings and are constantly evolving. These statutes, regulations,
and administrative rulings relate to electricity pricing, net metering, consumer protection, incentives, taxation, competition with utilities
and the interconnection of homeowner-owned and third party-owned solar energy systems to the electrical grid. These policies, statutes
and regulations are constantly evolving. Governments, often acting through state utility or public service commissions, change and adopt
different rates for residential customers on a regular basis and these changes can have a negative impact on our ability to deliver savings,
or energy bill management, to customers.

 In addition, many utilities, their trade associations, and fossil fuel
interests in the country, which have significantly greater economic, technical, operational, and political resources than the residential
solar industry, are currently challenging solar-related policies to reduce the competitiveness of residential solar energy. Any adverse
changes in solar-related policies could have a negative impact on our business and prospects.

 We are not currently regulated as a utility under applicable
laws, but we may be subject to regulation as a utility in the future or become subject to new federal and state regulations for any additional
solar service offerings we may introduce in the future.

 Most federal, state, and municipal laws do not currently regulate us
as a utility. As a result, we are not subject to the various regulatory requirements applicable to U.S. utilities. However, any federal,
state, local or other applicable regulations could place significant restrictions on our ability to operate our business and execute our
business plan by prohibiting or otherwise restricting our sale of electricity. These regulatory requirements could include restricting
our sale of electricity, as well as regulating the price of our solar service offerings. If we become subject to the same regulatory authorities
as utilities or if new regulatory bodies are established to oversee our business, our operating costs could materially increase.

 Changes to the applicable laws and regulations governing direct-to-home sales
and marketing may limit or restrict our ability to effectively compete.

 We utilize a direct-to-home sales model as a primary sales
channel and are vulnerable to changes in laws and regulations related to direct sales and marketing that could impose additional limitations
on unsolicited residential sales calls and may impose additional restrictions such as adjustments to our marketing materials and direct-selling
processes, and new training for personnel. If additional laws and regulations affecting direct sales and marketing are passed in the markets
in which we operate, it would take time to train our sales professionals to comply with such laws, and we may be exposed to fines or other
penalties for violations of such laws. If we fail to compete effectively through our direct-selling efforts, our financial condition,
results of operations and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

 Increases in the cost or reduction in supply of solar energy
system and energy storage system components due to tariffs or trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. government could have an adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 China is a major producer of solar cells and other solar products.
Certain solar cells, modules, laminates and panels from China are subject to various U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty rates, depending
on the exporter supplying the product, imposed by the U.S. government as a result of determinations that the U.S. was materially injured
as a result of such imports being sold at less than fair value and subsidized by the Chinese government. Historically, we and our subcontractors
regularly surveyed the market to identify multiple alternative locations for product manufacturers. Nonetheless, many of the solar products
we purchase are from manufacturers in China or from manufacturers in other jurisdictions who rely, in part, on products sourced in China.
If alternative sources are not available on competitive terms in the future, we and our subcontractors may be required to purchase these
products from manufacturers in China. In addition, tariffs on solar cells, modules and inverters in China may put upward pressure on prices
of these products in other jurisdictions from which we or our subcontractors currently purchase equipment, which could reduce our ability
to offer competitive pricing to potential customers.

 The antidumping and countervailing duties discussed above are subject
to annual review and may be increased or decreased. Furthermore, under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, the Office of the United
States Trade Representative (" USTR ") imposed tariffs on $200 billion worth of imports from China, including
inverters and certain AC modules and non-lithium-ion batteries, effective September 24, 2018. In May 2019, the tariffs were
increased from 10% to 25% and may be raised by the USTR in the future. Since these tariffs impact the purchase price of the solar products,
these tariffs raise the cost associated with purchasing these solar products from China and reduce the competitive pressure on providers
of solar cells not subject to these tariffs.

 In August 2021, an anonymous trade group filed a petition with the
U.S. Department of Commerce (the " Department of Commerce ") requesting an investigation into whether solar panels
and cells imported from Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam are circumventing anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed on solar products
manufactured in China. The group also requested the imposition of tariffs on such imports ranging from 50%—250%. In November 2021,
the Department of Commerce rejected the petition, citing the petitioners' ongoing anonymity as one of the reasons for its decision.
In March 2022, the Department of Commerce announced it is initiating country-wide circumvention inquiries to determine whether imports
of solar cell and modules produced in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam that use components from China are circumventing anti-dumping
and countervailing duty orders on solar cells and modules from China. The Department of Commerce's inquiries were initiated pursuant
to a petition filed by Auxin Solar, Inc. on February 8, 2022.

 While the investigation remains ongoing, in December 2022, the Department
of Commerce announced its preliminary determination in the investigation. In its determination, the Department of Commerce found that
certain Chinese solar manufacturers circumvented U.S. import duties by routing some of their operations through Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand
and Vietnam. Given the Department of Commerce preliminarily found that circumvention was occurring through each of the four Southeast
Asian countries, the Department of Commerce made a "country-wide" circumvention finding, which designates each country as
one through which solar cells and modules are being circumvented from China. However, companies in these countries will be permitted to
certify they are not circumventing the U.S. import duties, in which case the circumvention findings may not apply. The Department of Commerce
will take a number of additional steps before issuing a final determination. In particular, the Department of Commerce will conduct in-person audits
to verify the information that was the basis of its preliminary determination. Furthermore, the Department of Commerce will gather public
comments on the preliminary determination to consider before issuing its final determination.

 Notably, however, on June 6, 2022, the President of the United States
issued an emergency declaration establishing a tariff exemption of two years for solar panels and cells imported from Cambodia, Malaysia,
Thailand and Vietnam, delaying the possibility of the imposition of dumping duties until the end of such two-year period. In
September 2022, the Department of Commerce issued its final rule effectuating the two-year exemption period, and new dumping
duties will not be imposed on solar panels and cells imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam until the earlier of two years
after the date of the emergency declaration or when the emergency is terminated. Tariffs may be reinstated following the exemption period,
but imports of solar cells and modules will not be subject to retroactive tariffs during the exemption period. The addition of new dumping
duties would significantly disrupt the supply of solar cells and modules to customers in the U.S., as a large percentage of solar cells
and modules used in the U.S. are imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. If imposed, these or similar tariffs could put
upward pressure on prices of these solar products, which could reduce our ability to offer competitive pricing to potential customers.

 In addition, in December 2021, the U.S. International Trade Commission
recommended the President extend tariffs initially imposed in 2018 on imported crystalline silicon PV cells and modules for another four
years, until 2026. Under Presidential Proclamation 10339, published in February 2022, President Biden extended the tariff beyond the scheduled
expiration date of February 6, 2022, with an initial tariff of 14.75%, which will gradually be reduced to 14% by the eighth year of the
measure. Since such actions increase the cost of imported solar products, to the extent we or our subcontractors use imported solar products
or domestic producers are able to raise their prices for their solar products, the overall cost of the solar energy systems will increase,
which could inhibit our ability to offer competitive pricing in certain markets.

 Additionally, the U.S. government has imposed various trade restrictions
on Chinese entities determined to be acting contrary to U.S. foreign policy and national security interests. For example, the Department
of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security has added a number of Chinese entities to its entity list for enabling human rights
abuses in the XUAR or for procuring U.S. technology to advance China's military modernization efforts, thereby imposing severe trade
restrictions against these designated entities. Moreover, in June 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a Withhold Release Order
pursuant to Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 excluding the entry into U.S. commerce of silica-based products (such as polysilicon)
manufactured by Hoshine Silicon Industry Co. Ltd. (" Hoshine ") and related companies, as well as goods made using
those products, based on allegations related to Hoshine labor practices in the XUAR to manufacture such products. Additionally, in December
2021, Congress passed the UFLPA, which, with limited exception, prohibits the importation of all goods or articles mined or produced in
whole or in part in the XUAR, or goods or articles mined or produced by entities working with the XUAR government to recruit, transport
or receive forced labor from the XUAR. To date, intensive examinations, withhold release orders, and related governmental procedures have
resulted in supply chain and operational delays throughout the industry. Although we maintain policies and procedures designed to maintain
compliance with applicable governmental laws and regulations, these and other similar trade restrictions that may be imposed in the future
may cause us to incur substantially higher compliance and due diligence costs in connection with procurement and have the effect of restricting
the global supply of, and raising prices for, polysilicon and solar products, which could increase the overall cost of solar energy systems,
reduce our ability to offer competitive pricing in certain markets and adversely impact our business and results of operations. Further,
any operational delays or other supply chain disruption resulting from the human rights concerns or any of the supply chain risks articulated
above, associated governmental responses, or a desire to source products, components, or materials from other manufacturers or regions
could result in shipping, sales and installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments, or loss of revenue and market share, or may
cause our key suppliers to seek to re-negotiate terms and pricing with us, any of which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

 While we believe the tariffs and trade regulations described above
have contributed to price increases for components that we purchase, we believe that these price increases were due largely to a combination
of other factors, including supply chain constraints, increased demand for solar systems in the U.S. and Europe, rising inflation, and
higher labor, material, and shipping costs. We do not have information that allows us to quantify the specific amount of price increases
attributable to the tariffs and trade regulations described. We cannot predict what additional actions the U.S. may adopt with respect
to tariffs or other trade regulations or what actions may be taken by other countries in retaliation for such measures. The tariffs described
above, the adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs,
trade agreements or related policies have the potential to adversely impact our supply chain and access to equipment, our costs and ability
to economically serve certain markets. If additional measures are imposed or other negotiated outcomes occur, our ability or the ability
of our subcontractors to purchase these products on competitive terms or to access specialized technologies from other countries could
be further limited, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Any failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to interactions
by us or third parties (such as our dealers and subcontractors) with customers or with licensing requirements applicable to our business
could result in negative publicity, claims, investigations and litigation, and may adversely affect our financial performance.

 Our business involves transactions with customers. We and our subcontractors
and dealers must comply with numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern matters relating to our interactions with
customers, including those pertaining to privacy and data security, home improvement contracts, warranties and direct-to-home solicitation,
along with certain rules and regulations specific to the marketing and sale of residential solar products and services. These laws and
regulations are dynamic and subject to potentially differing interpretations, and various federal, state and local legislative and regulatory
bodies may expand current laws or regulations, or enact new laws and regulations, regarding these matters. Changes in these laws or regulations
or their interpretation could dramatically affect how we do business, acquire customers, and manage and use information we collect from
and about current and prospective customers and the costs associated therewith. We strive to comply with all applicable laws and regulations
relating to our interactions with customers. It is possible, however, that these requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner
that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. Noncompliance with any such
laws or regulations, or the perception that we or our subcontractors or dealers have violated such laws or regulations or engaged in deceptive
practices that could result in a violation, could also expose us to claims, proceedings, litigation and investigations by private parties
and regulatory authorities, as well as substantial fines and negative publicity, each of which may materially and adversely affect our
business. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses to comply with such laws and regulations, and increased regulation
of matters relating to our interactions with customers could require us to modify our operations and incur significant additional expenses,
which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Any investigations, actions, adoption or amendment of regulations relating
to the marketing of our products could divert management's attention from our business, require us to modify our operations and
incur significant additional expenses, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations
or could reduce the number of our potential customers.

 We cannot ensure that our sales professionals and other personnel will
always comply with our standard practices and policies, as well as applicable laws and regulations. In any of the numerous interactions
between our sales professionals or other personnel and our customers or potential customers, our sales professionals or other personnel
may, without our knowledge and despite our efforts to effectively train them and enforce compliance, engage in conduct that is or may
be prohibited under our standard practices and policies and applicable laws and regulations. Any such non-compliance, or the
perception of non-compliance, may expose us to claims, proceedings, litigation, investigations or enforcement actions by private
parties or regulatory authorities, as well as substantial fines and negative publicity, each of which may materially and adversely affect
our business and reputation. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses to comply with the laws, regulations and
industry standards that apply to us.

 In addition, our affiliations with third-party dealers and subcontractors
may subject us to alleged liability in connection with actual or alleged violations of law by such third parties, whether or not actually
attributable to us, which may expose us to significant damages and penalties, and we may incur substantial expenses in defending against
legal actions related to third parties, whether or not we are ultimately found liable.

 Compliance with environmental laws and regulations can be expensive,
and noncompliance with these laws and regulations may result in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages and fines.

 We are required to comply with all applicable foreign, U.S. federal,
state, and local laws and regulations regarding pollution control and protection of safety and the environment. These law and regulations
may include obligations relating to the release, emissions or discharge of materials into the air, water and ground, the generation, storage,
handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes and the health and safety of our employees and other persons.
Under some statutes and regulations, a government agency, or other parties, may seek recovery and response costs from owners or operators
of property where releases of hazardous substances have occurred or are ongoing, even if the owner or operator was not responsible for
such release or otherwise at fault. We use solar energy system and energy storage components that may contain toxic, volatile and otherwise
hazardous substances in our operations. Any failure by us to control the use of, transport of, or to restrict adequately the discharge
of, hazardous substances could subject us to, among other matters, potentially significant monetary damages and fines or liabilities or
suspensions of our business operations. In addition, if more stringent laws and regulations are adopted in the future, the costs of compliance
with these new laws and regulations could be substantial. If we fail to comply with present or future environmental laws and regulations,
we may be required to pay substantial fines, suspend production or cease operations, or be subjected to other sanctions. Private parties
may also have the right to pursue legal actions to enforce compliance as well as to seek damages for non-compliance with environmental
laws and regulations or for personal injury or property damage.

 In addition, U.S. legislation includes disclosure requirements regarding
the use of "conflict" minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries and procedures regarding
a manufacturer's efforts to prevent the sourcing of such "conflict" minerals. We have incurred and will incur additional
costs to comply with the disclosure requirements, including costs related to determining the source of any of the relevant minerals and
metals used in our products. The implementation of these requirements could affect the sourcing and availability of minerals used in the
manufacture of solar products. As a result, there may only be a limited pool of suppliers who provide conflict-free minerals, and we cannot
be certain that we will be able to obtain products in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Since our supply chain is complex,
we have not been able to sufficiently verify, and in the future, we may not be able to sufficiently verify, the origins for these conflict
minerals used in our products. As a result, we may face reputational challenges with our customers and other stakeholders if we are unable
to sufficiently verify the origins for all conflict minerals used in our products.

 Compliance with health and safety laws and regulations can be
complex, and noncompliance with these laws and regulations may result in potentially significant monetary damages and fines.

 We are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations,
including the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (" OSHA ") and comparable state statues, establishing
requirements to protect the health and safety of workers. The OSHA hazard communication standard, the US EPA community right-to-know regulations
under Title III of the federal Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act, and comparable state statutes, require maintenance of information
about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and provision of this information to employees, state and local government authorities,
and citizens. Other OSHA standards regulate specific worker safety aspects of our operations. Substantial fines and penalties can be imposed,
and orders or injunctions limiting or prohibiting certain operations may be issued, in connection with any failure to comply with these
laws and regulations.

 Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and international
privacy and data protection laws, rules, policies and other obligations. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and
uncertain interpretation and could result in claims, increased cost of operations or otherwise harm our business.

 Consumer personal privacy and data security have become significant
issues and the subject of rapidly evolving regulation. Furthermore, federal, state and local government bodies or agencies have in the
past adopted, and may in the future adopt, more laws and regulations affecting data privacy. For example, new California legislation and
regulations afford California consumers an array of new rights, including the right to be informed about what kinds of personal information
companies have collected and the purpose for the collection. Complying with such laws or regulations, including in connection with any
future expansion into new states (e.g., California), may significantly impact our business activities and require substantial compliance
costs that adversely affect our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. To date, we have not experienced substantial
compliance costs in connection with fulfilling the requirements with any such laws or regulations. However, we cannot be certain that
compliance costs will not increase in the future with respect to such laws or regulations. Furthermore, if we expand to foreign markets
we will be subject to additional privacy and data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union.

 We operate a call center that uses personal information to conduct follow-up marketing
calls to prospective customers of our solar energy systems. The out-going marketing calls we make are subject to the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act (" TCPA ") and any failure to comply with the TCPA could result in significant fines and
potential litigation from consumers.

 Any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns,
even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws, regulations and policies, could result in additional cost
and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with,
and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations and policies that are applicable to our business may limit the use and adoption of,
and reduce the overall demand for, our solutions. If we are not able to adjust to changing laws, regulations and standards related to
privacy or security, our business may be harmed.

 A change in our effective tax rate could have a significant adverse
impact on our business, and an adverse outcome resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our
results.

 A number of factors may adversely affect our future effective tax rates,
such as the jurisdictions in which our profits are determined to be earned and taxed; changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets
and liabilities; adjustments to estimated taxes upon finalization of various tax returns; adjustments to our interpretation of transfer
pricing standards; changes in available tax credits, grants and other incentives; changes in stock-based compensation expense; the availability
of loss or credit carryforwards to offset taxable income; changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws (for example federal
and state taxes); and changes in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (" GAAP "). A change in our effective
tax rate due to any of these factors may adversely affect our future results from operations.

 Significant judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement
attributes prescribed in the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes
applies to all income tax positions, including the potential recovery of previously paid taxes, which if settled unfavorably could adversely
affect our provision for income taxes. In addition, we are subject to examination of our income tax returns by various tax authorities.
We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from any examination to determine the adequacy of our provision for income
taxes. An adverse determination of an examination could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 Additionally, U.S. tax reform may lead to further changes in (or departure
from) these norms. As these and other tax laws and related regulations change, our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition
could be materially impacted. Given the unpredictability of these possible changes and their potential interdependency, it is very difficult
to assess whether the overall effect of such potential tax changes would be cumulatively positive or negative for our earnings and cash
flow.

 Risks Related to Ownership of Zeo Securities

 Our management team has limited experience managing a public
company, and regulatory compliance obligations may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our businesses.

 Most of the individuals who now constitute our management team have
limited to no experience managing a publicly-traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly
complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to being a
public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws and the continuous
scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from our senior
management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our businesses, which could adversely affect
our businesses. It is probable that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations
as a public company, which would increase our operating costs in future periods.

 We will incur significant costs as a result of operating as a
public company.

 We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act,
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, Nasdaq listing requirements
and other applicable securities laws and regulations. The expenses incurred by public companies generally for reporting and corporate
governance purposes are greater than those for private companies. For example, the Exchange Act requires, among other things,
that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Compliance
with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, and increase demand on our systems, particularly
after we are no longer an emerging growth company. In addition, as a public company, we may be subject to stockholder activism, which
can lead to additional substantial costs, distract management, and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot
currently anticipate. As a result of disclosure of information in this Report and in filings required of a public company, our business
and financial condition will become more visible, which may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors. We expect
these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more difficult, time-consuming,
and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty.

 We also expect that being a public company and being subject to new
rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain directors and officers liability insurance, and we may be required
to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more
difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the Board, committees of the Board or as our executive officers.
Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of Class A Common Stock,
fines, sanctions, and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation. These factors may therefore strain our resources, divert
management's attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members and executive officers.

 A significant portion of the total outstanding shares of Class
A Common Stock is restricted from immediate resale following the Closing of the Business Combination, but may be sold into the market
shortly thereafter. This could cause the market price of Class A Common Stock to drop significantly, even if Zeo's business is doing
well.

 Although the Sponsor and each other shareholder party to the Amendment
to the Letter Agreement and each Lock-Up Seller party to the Lock-Up Agreement is prohibited from transferring any
securities of Zeo until the earlier of (i) six months after the Closing and (ii) subsequent to the Closing, (a) satisfaction of the Early
Lock-Up Termination or (b) the date on which Zeo completes a PubCo Sale (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement), these shares
of Class A Common Stock may be sold after the expiration or early termination or release of the respective applicable lock-up under
the Amendment to the Letter Agreement or Lock-Up Agreement, as applicable. Additionally, the Initial Shareholders have agreed
not to transfer an aggregate 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock until two years after the Closing (with such shares being forfeited
upon the occurrence of a Convertible OpCo Preferred Unit Optional Conversion within two years after Closing). We expect to file one or
more registration statements to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time. As restrictions on resale end and the registration
statements are available for use, the market price of Class A Common Stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares
sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a
large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of Class A Common Stock.

 As a public reporting company, we are subject to rules and regulations
established from time to time by the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding our internal control over financial reporting.
If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may
not be able to accurately report our financial results or report them in a timely manner, which could adversely affect our business.

 We are a public reporting company subject to the rules and regulations
established from time to time by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These rules and regulations require, among
other things, that we establish and periodically evaluate procedures with respect to our internal control over financial reporting. Reporting
obligations as a public company are likely to place a considerable strain on our financial and management systems, processes, and controls,
as well as on our personnel.

 As a public company, we are required to document and test our internal
control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting by the time our second annual report is filed with the SEC and thereafter, which requires
us to document and make significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting. As a public company, we are subject to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act of 2010, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules
and regulations, which impose various requirements on public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure
and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial
amount of time to these public company requirements. Moreover, we expect these rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal
and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We may need to hire additional legal, accounting
and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and maintain an internal audit function.

 Likewise, as a public company, we may lose our status as an "emerging
growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and become subject to the SEC's internal control over financial reporting
management and auditor attestation requirements in the year in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which would occur
once we are subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for 12 months, have filed at least one SEC annual report and the
market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year's
second fiscal quarter. If we become subject to the SEC's internal control reporting and attestation requirements, we might not be
able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. In addition, our current controls and any new
controls that we develop may become inadequate because of poor design and changes in our business, including increased complexity resulting
from any international expansion. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could adversely
affect the results of assessments by our independent registered public accounting firm and their attestation reports.

 We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and
other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the
SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required
to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers.
We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting, which includes hiring additional accounting and financial
personnel to implement such processes and controls. We expect to incur costs related to implementing an internal audit and compliance
function in the upcoming years to further improve our internal control environment.

 We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls
over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, if management identifies additional material weaknesses
in the future or if we otherwise fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately
or timely report our financial position or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and stock price or cause our
access to the capital markets to be impaired.

 We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over
financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. These material weaknesses are listed below:

 Ineffective controls over period
end financial disclosure and reporting processes, including not timely performing certain reconciliations and the completeness and accuracy
of those reconciliations, and lack of effectiveness of controls over accurate accounting and financial reporting and reviewing the underlying
financial statement elements that led to, for example, inappropriate revenue recognition, preparing consolidating financial statements
that did not contain the required eliminating journal entries for intercompany transactions, and recording incorrect journal entries
that also did not have the sufficient review and approval.

 Insufficient controls around
the review of certain technical accounting matters and related entries due to lack of sufficient staffing of adequate accounting resources.

 Inadequate segregation of duties
in various key processes, including user access within the information technology control environment.

 Lack of documentation of policies
and procedures including cybersecurity, user access reviews, and sufficient change management around the information technology control
environment.

 Incomplete mapping of our risk
assessment to our accounting processes and control objectives and a lack of formality in our internal control activities, especially
related to management review-type controls.

 These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement in our accounts
or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly,
we determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

 We are in the early stages of designing and implementing a plan to
remediate the material weaknesses identified.

 Our plan includes the below:

 Designing and implementing
a risk assessment process supporting the identification of risks.

 Implementing systems and controls
to enhance our review of significant accounting transactions and other new technical accounting and financial reporting issues and preparing
and reviewing accounting memoranda addressing these issues.

 Improving our internal control
policies and procedures to specifically address controls around segregation of duties, cybersecurity, user access reviews, and changes
in management.

 Implementing specific user
access, segregation of duties and change management controls within our financial reporting IT systems.

 Hiring additional experienced
accounting, financial reporting and internal control personnel and changing roles and responsibilities of our personnel as we transition
to being a public company and are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (" Section 404 ").
We are in the process of hiring additional resources and we are engaging with a third-party consulting firm to assist us with our formal
internal control plan and to provide accounting services related to complex accounting transactions.

 Implementing controls to enable
an effective and timely review of period-end close procedures.

 Implementing controls to enable
an accurate and timely review of accounting records that support our accounting processes and maintain documents for internal accounting
reviews.

 We cannot assure you that these measures will significantly improve
or remediate the material weaknesses described above. The implementation of these remediation measures is in the early stages and will
require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over a sustained period of financial
reporting cycles and, as a result, the timing of when we will be able to fully remediate the material weaknesses is uncertain. If the
steps we take do not remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, there could be a reasonable possibility that these control
deficiencies or others may result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. This, in turn, could jeopardize our ability to comply with our reporting obligations, limit our ability
to access the capital markets and adversely impact our stock price.

 We and our independent registered public accounting firm were not required
to perform an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 in accordance with the provisions of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we have identified all, or that we will not in the future have additional,
material weaknesses. Material weaknesses may still exist when we report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as required by reporting requirements under Section 404.

 Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may distract
our officers and employees, entail substantial costs to modify our existing processes and take significant time to complete. These changes
may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or consequent
inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and harm our business. In addition,
investors' perceptions that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements
on a timely basis may harm our stock price and make it more difficult for us to effectively market and sell our products and services
to new and existing customers.

 However, if we identify future deficiencies in our internal control
over financial reporting or if we are unable to comply with the demands that are placed upon us as a public company, including the requirements
of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in a timely or effective manner, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results,
or report them within the timeframes required by the SEC. We also could become subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other
regulatory authorities. In addition, if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if
our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting when required, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, we may face
restricted access to the capital markets and our stock price may be adversely affected.

 Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may also
become inadequate because of poor design or changes in our business, including increased complexity resulting from any international expansion,
and weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to
develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could cause us to fail to
meet our reporting obligations, result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods, undermine investor confidence in
us and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we
may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq.

 Changing laws and regulations could create uncertainty for Zeo
regarding compliance matters and result in higher costs.

 Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance
and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some
activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations and may evolve over time
as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters
and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with
evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion
of management's time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. We cannot predict or estimate the
amount or timing of additional costs it may incur to respond to these requirements. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations
and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and
practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business may be adversely affected.

 The rules and regulations applicable to public companies make
it more expensive for Zeo to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, which could adversely affect its ability to
attract and retain qualified officers and directors.

 The rules and regulations applicable to public companies make it more
expensive for Zeo to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, and Zeo may be required to accept reduced coverage
or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may
incur to respond to these requirements. The potential for increased personal liability could also make it more difficult for Zeo to attract
and retain qualified members of the Board, particularly to serve on its audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive
officers.

 An active, liquid market for Zeo's securities may not develop,
which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Zeo's securities.

 The price of Zeo's securities may vary significantly
due to factors specific to Zeo as well as to general market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active, liquid trading
market for Zeo's securities may never develop, or, if developed, it may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell
your securities without depressing the market price for the securities or at all unless an active, liquid market can be established and
sustained. An inactive trading market may also impair Zeo's ability to attract and motivate employees through equity
incentive awards and to acquire other companies, products or technologies by using shares of capital stock as consideration.

 The market price of the shares of Class A Common Stock may decline.

 The market price of the shares of Class A Common Stock may decline
for a number of reasons, including if:

 investors react negatively
to the prospects of Zeo's business;

 Zeo's business
and prospects is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts; or

 Zeo does not achieve the perceived
benefits of the Business Combination as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts.

 The price of Class A Common Stock may change significantly, even
if Zeo's business is doing well, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

 The trading price of shares of Class A Common Stock is likely to be
volatile. The stock market recently has experienced extreme volatility. This volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to
the operating performance of particular companies. You may not be able to resell your shares of Class A Common Stock at an attractive
price due to a number of factors such as the following:

 results of operations that
vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;

 results of operations that
vary from those of Zeo's competitors;

 changes in expectations as
to Zeo's future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and
investors;

 declines in the market prices
of stocks generally;

 strategic actions by Zeo or
its competitors;

 announcements by Zeo or its
competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or capital commitments;

 any significant change in Zeo's
management;

 changes in general economic
or market conditions (including changes in interest rates or inflation) or trends in Zeo's industry or markets;

 changes in business or regulatory
conditions, including new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to Zeo's business;

 future sales of Class A Common
Stock or other securities;

 dilution as a result of future
exercises of Zeo Warrants or conversion of the Convertible OpCo Preferred Units;

 investor perceptions of the
investment opportunity associated with Class A Common Stock relative to other investment alternatives;

 the public's response
to press releases or other public announcements by Zeo or third parties, including Zeo's filings with the SEC;

 litigation involving Zeo, Zeo's
industry, or both, or investigations by regulators into the Board, Zeo's operations or those of Zeo's competitors;

 guidance, if any, that Zeo
provides to the public, any changes in this guidance or Zeo's failure to meet this guidance;

 the development and sustainability
of an active trading market for Class A Common Stock;

 actions by institutional or
activist stockholders;

 changes in accounting standards,
policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles; and

 other events or factors, including
those resulting from pandemics, natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.

 These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the
market price of Class A Common Stock, regardless of Zeo's actual operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater
if the public float and trading volume of Class A Common Stock is low.

 In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have
instituted securities class action litigation. If Zeo were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert
resources and the attention of executive management from Zeo's business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

 Redeemable warrants issued
in ESGEN's initial public offering, entitling the holder thereof to purchase Class A Common Stock (the " Zeo
Warrants ") will become exercisable for Zeo Common Stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future
resale in the public market and result in dilution to the stockholders of Zeo.

 Outstanding Zeo Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 13,799,989 shares
of Zeo Common Stock are exercisable in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement governing those securities. These Zeo Warrants
will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The exercise price of these Zeo Warrants is $11.50 per
share. To the extent such Zeo Warrants are exercised, additional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution
to the then existing holders of Class A Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.

 Zeo stockholders may experience significant dilution as a result
of a Convertible OpCo Preferred Unit Conversion.

 Subject to the conditions described in the OpCo A&R LLC Agreement,
holders of the Convertible OpCo Preferred Units may, or OpCo may require the holders of such Convertible OpCo Preferred Units to, convert
all of such holder's Convertible OpCo Preferred Units into such number of Exchangeable OpCo Units as determined by the conversion
ratio applicable to the respective Convertible OpCo Preferred Unit Conversion. Upon the occurrence of a conversion of Convertible OpCo
Preferred Units into Exchangeable OpCo Units, all Exchangeable OpCo Units received as a result of such conversion shall be immediately
exchanged (together with an equal number of shares of Zeo Class V Common Stock) into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock.
Accordingly, if the Convertible OpCo Preferred Units are converted into Exchangeable OpCo Units and immediately thereafter exchanged for
shares of Class A Common Stock, holders of Class A Common Stock could experience significant dilution. Further, if the holders of the
shares of Class A Common Stock issued as a result of a Convertible OpCo Preferred Unit Conversion dispose of a substantial portion of
such shares of Class A Common Stock in the public market, whether in a single transaction or series of transactions, it could adversely
affect the market price for Zeo's Class A Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, could make it
more difficult for Zeo or its stockholders to sell shares of Class A Common Stock in the future.

 Zeo may be subject to securities class action litigation, which may harm its business and operating results.

 Certain companies that have experienced volatility in the market price
of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. Zeo may be the target of this type of litigation in the future.
Securities litigation against Zeo could result in substantial costs and damages and divert Zeo's management's attention from
other business concerns, which could seriously harm Zeo's business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 Zeo may also be called on to defend itself against lawsuits relating
to its business operations. Some of these claims may seek significant damages amounts. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation,
the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings cannot be accurately predicted. A future unfavorable outcome in a legal proceeding could
have an adverse impact on Zeo's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, current and future litigation,
regardless of its merits, could result in substantial legal fees, settlements or judgment costs and a diversion of Zeo's management's
attention and resources that are needed to successfully run Zeo's business.

 Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on shares
of Class A Common Stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your shares of Class
A Common Stock at a price greater than what you paid for them.

 Zeo intends to retain future earnings, if any, for future operations,
expansion (which may include potential acquisitions) and debt repayment, and there are no current plans to pay any cash dividends for
the foreseeable future. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of Class A Common Stock will be at the sole
discretion of the Board. The Board may take into account general and economic conditions, Zeo's financial condition and results
of operations, Zeo's available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory
restrictions, implications of the payment of dividends by Zeo's to its stockholders or by its subsidiaries to it and such other
factors as the Board may deem relevant. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in the shares of Class A Common Stock
unless you sell such shares for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

 Zeo may issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock or other
equity securities without seeking approval of its stockholders, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market
price of Class A Common Stock.

 Zeo has Zeo Warrants outstanding to purchase up to an aggregate of
13,799,989 shares of Class A Common Stock. Additionally, Zeo will issue shares of Class A Common Stock to the holders of Convertible OpCo
Preferred Units upon the occurrence of a Convertible OpCo Preferred Unit Conversion. Further, Zeo may choose to seek third-party financing
to provide additional working capital for Zeo's business, in which event Zeo may issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock
or other equity securities. Zeo may also issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock or other equity securities of equal or senior
rank in the future for any reason or in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions, the redemption of outstanding Zeo Warrants
or repayment of outstanding indebtedness, without stockholder approval, in a number of circumstances.

 The issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock or other
equity securities of equal or senior rank would have the following effects:

 Zeo's existing shareholders'
proportionate ownership interest in Zeo will decrease;

 the amount of cash available
per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;

 the relative voting strength
of each previously outstanding share of Class A Common Stock may be diminished; and

 the market price of the shares
of Class A Common Stock may decline.

 Zeo intends to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form
S-8 that will automatically become effective upon filing. Our issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock or convertible
securities could make it difficult for another company to acquire us, may dilute your ownership of us and could adversely affect the price
of Class A Common Stock.

 Zeo intends to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-8 providing
for the registration of shares of Class A Common Stock issued or reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan. Subject to the expiration
of any applicable lock-ups, shares registered under the registration statement on Form S-8 will automatically become
effective upon filing and be available for resale immediately in the public market without restriction. The initial registration statement
on Form S-8 is expected to cover approximately 3,220,400 shares of Class A Common Stock.

 In addition, the shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for future
issuance under the 2024 Plan will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating
to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale by affiliates
under Rule 144, as applicable.

 If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or
reports about Zeo's business, if they change their recommendations regarding the shares of Class A Common Stock or if Zeo's
operating results do not meet their expectations, the price and trading volume of shares of Class A Common Stock could decline.

 The trading market for shares of Class A Common Stock will depend in
part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about Zeo or its businesses. If no securities or industry
analysts commence coverage of Zeo, the trading price for shares of Class A Common Stock could be negatively impacted. In the event securities
or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover Zeo downgrade its securities or publish unfavorable research
about its businesses, or if Zeo's operating results do not meet analyst expectations, the trading price of shares of Class A Common
Stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of Zeo or fail to publish reports on Zeo regularly, demand
for shares of Class A Common Stock could decrease, which might cause the share price and trading volume to decline. Accordingly, holders
of Class A Common Stock may experience a loss as a result of a decline in the market price of Class A Common Stock. In addition, a decline
in the market price of Class A Common Stock could adversely affect Zeo's ability to issue additional securities and to obtain additional
financing in the future.

 The ability of Zeo's management to require holders of Zeo
Warrants to exercise such Zeo Warrants on a cashless basis will cause holders to receive fewer shares of Class A Common Stock upon their
exercise of such Zeo Warrants than they would have received had they been able to exercise such Zeo Warrants for cash.

 If Zeo calls the Zeo Warrants for redemption after the redemption criteria
described elsewhere in this Report have been satisfied, Zeo's management will have the option to require any holder that wishes
to exercise Zeo Warrants (including any Zeo Warrants held by the Initial Shareholders or their permitted transferees) to do so on a "cashless
basis." If Zeo's management chooses to require holders to exercise their Zeo Warrants on a cashless basis, the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock received by a holder upon exercise will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised his, her or
its Zeo Warrants for cash. This will have the effect of reducing the potential "upside" of the holder's investment in
Zeo.

 Zeo may redeem unexpired Zeo Warrants prior to their exercise
at a time that is disadvantageous for holders of Zeo Warrants.

 Zeo will have the ability to redeem outstanding Zeo Warrants at any
time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Zeo Warrant; provided, that the last reported
sales price of shares of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period
ending on the third business day prior to the date Zeo sends the notice of redemption to the holders of Zeo Warrants. If and when the
Zeo Warrants become redeemable by Zeo, Zeo may exercise its redemption right if there is a current registration statement in effect with
respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such Zeo Warrants. Redemption of the outstanding Zeo Warrants could force you
to: (i) exercise your Zeo Warrants and pay the related exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so; (ii)
sell your Zeo Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Zeo Warrants; or (iii) accept the nominal
redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Zeo Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the
market value of your Zeo Warrants.

 In the event Zeo determines to redeem any Zeo Warrants, holders of
such Zeo Warrants would be notified of such redemption as described in the warrant agreement governing the Zeo Warrants. Specifically,
in the event that Zeo elects to redeem all of the redeemable Zeo Warrants as described above, Zeo will fix a Zeo Warrant redemption date.
Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by Zeo not less than 30 days prior to such date to the registered
holders of the redeemable Zeo Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed
in the manner provided in the warrant agreement governing the Zeo Warrants will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether
or not the registered holder received such notice. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable Zeo Warrants will be notified of such
redemption via Zeo's posting of the redemption notice to DTC.

 If Zeo's performance does not meet market expectations,
the price of its securities may decline.

 If Zeo's performance does not meet market expectations, the price
of Zeo Common Stock may decline. Fluctuations in the price of Zeo Common Stock could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment.
If an active market for Zeo Common Stock develops and continues, the trading price of Zeo Common Stock could be volatile and subject to
wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond its control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material
adverse effect on your investment in Zeo Common Stock and it may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them.

 Factors affecting the trading price of Zeo Common Stock may include:

 actual or anticipated fluctuations
in Zeo's quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it;

 changes in the market's
expectations about its operating results;

 success of competitors;

 its operating results failing
to meet market expectations in a particular period;

 changes in financial estimates
and recommendations by securities analysts concerning Zeo or the solar energy industry and market in general;

 operating and stock price performance
of other companies that investors deem comparable to Zeo;

 its ability to market new and
enhanced products on a timely basis;

 changes in laws and regulations
affecting its business;

 commencement of, or involvement
in, litigation involving Zeo;

 changes in its capital structure,
such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

 the volume of shares of its
common stock available for public sale;

 any significant change in its
board or management;

 sales of substantial amounts
of common stock by its directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

 general economic and political
conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

 Broad market and industry factors may depress the market price of Zeo
Common Stock irrespective of its operating performance. The stock market in general and the Nasdaq have experienced price and volume fluctuations
that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected.

 The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of Zeo's
securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for solar energy or the stocks of other companies which
investors perceive to be similar to Zeo could depress its stock price regardless of its business, prospects, financial conditions or results
of operations. A decline in the market price of Zeo Common Stock also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities
and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

 Delaware law and our governing documents contain certain provisions,
including anti-takeover provisions, that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover
attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

 Our governing documents and the DGCL contain provisions that could
have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the Board and therefore depress
the trading price of Class A Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including
electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of the Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes
in the management of Zeo. Among other things, our governing documents include provisions regarding:

 the ability of the Board to
issue shares of preferred stock, including "blank check" preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those
shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership
of a hostile acquirer;

 the limitation of the liability
of, and the indemnification of, Zeo's directors and officers;

 the exclusive right of the
Board to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director,
which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on the Board;

 the requirement that, subject
to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock, special meetings of the stockholders may be called only
(i) by or at the direction of the Board, the Chairperson of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, in each case, in accordance with
our bylaws or (ii) for so long as the holders of shares of Zeo Class V Common Stock beneficially own, directly or indirectly, a majority
of the total voting power of stock entitled to vote generally in election of directors, by or at the request of stockholders collectively
holding shares of capital stock of Zeo representing a majority of the total voting power of stock entitled to vote generally in election
of directors, which could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal
of directors;

 controlling the procedures
for the conduct and scheduling of the Board and stockholder meetings;

 the requirement for the affirmative
vote of holders of at least 2/3 of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single
class, to amend, alter, change or repeal certain provisions of the Proposed Charter, which could preclude stockholders from bringing
matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders, delay changes in Zeo and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to effect such
amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;

 the ability of the Board to
amend our bylaws, which may allow the Board to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of
an acquirer to amend our bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

 advance notice procedures with
which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to the Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders' meeting,
which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders, delay changes in the Board
and discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors
or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Zeo.

 These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile
takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Board or management.

 Any provision of our governing documents or Delaware law that has the
effect of delaying or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares
of Class A Common Stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for shares of Class A Common Stock.

 We are a holding company. Our only material asset is our equity
interest in OpCo, and we are accordingly be dependent upon distributions from OpCo to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable
Agreement and cover our corporate and other overhead expenses.

 We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our
equity interest in OpCo. We have no independent means of generating revenue. To the extent OpCo has available cash, we intend to cause
OpCo to make generally pro rata distributions to the holders of OpCo Units, including us, in an amount sufficient to cause each OpCo unitholder
to receive a distribution at least equal to (i) such OpCo unitholder's allocable share of net taxable income as calculated with
certain assumptions, multiplied by an assumed tax rate, and (ii) with respect to us, any payments required to be made by us under the
Tax Receivable Agreement. The assumed tax rate for this purpose will be the combined maximum U.S. federal, state, and local rate of tax
applicable to an individual resident in New York City, New York for the applicable taxable year. We intend to cause OpCo to make non-pro rata
payments to us to reimburse us for our corporate and other overhead expenses. To the extent that we need funds and OpCo or its subsidiaries
are restricted from making such distributions or payments under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of any current or future
financing arrangements, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, our liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely
affected.

 Moreover, because we have no independent means of generating revenue,
our ability to make tax payments and payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be dependent on the ability of OpCo to make distributions
to us in an amount sufficient to cover our tax obligations and obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. This ability, in turn,
may depend on the ability of OpCo's subsidiaries to make distributions to OpCo. We intend that such distributions from OpCo and
its subsidiaries be funded with cash from operations or from future borrowings. The ability of OpCo, its subsidiaries and other entities
in which it directly or indirectly hold an equity interest to make such distributions will be subject to, among other things, (i) the
applicable provisions of Delaware law (or other applicable jurisdiction) that may limit the amount of funds available for distribution
and (ii) restrictions in relevant debt instruments issued by OpCo or its subsidiaries and other entities in which it directly or indirectly
holds an equity interest. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments
will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid, and such failure to make payments may result in a breach under the Tax Receivable
Agreement in certain cases. Because distributions of OpCo will be used to fund Tax Receivable Agreement payments by us, OpCo's liquidity
will be affected negatively by the Tax Receivable Agreement in a material respect.

 We will be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable
Agreement for certain tax benefits that we may claim, and the amounts of such payments could be significant.

 In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into the Tax
Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders. This agreement generally provides for the payment by us to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net
cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax (computed using simplifying assumptions to address
the impact of state and local taxes) that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the
Business Combination as a result of certain increases in tax basis available to us pursuant to the exercise of the OpCo Exchange Rights
or a Mandatory Exchange and certain benefits attributable to imputed interest. We will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of any
actual net cash tax savings that we realize.

 The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all tax
benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement have been utilized or expired, unless we experience a change of control (as
defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement, which includes certain mergers, asset sales, or other forms of business combinations) or the
Tax Receivable Agreement otherwise terminates early (at our election or as a result of our breach or the commencement of bankruptcy or
similar proceedings by or against us), and we make the termination payments specified in the Tax Receivable Agreement in connection with
such change of control or other early termination.

 The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are our
obligations and not obligations of OpCo, and we expect that the payments required to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be
substantial. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will reduce the amount of cash provided by the tax savings that would otherwise
have been available to us for other uses. Estimating the amount and timing of payments that may become due under the Tax Receivable Agreement
is by its nature imprecise. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, net cash tax savings generally are calculated by comparing our
actual tax liability (determined by using the actual applicable U.S. federal income tax rate and an assumed combined state and local income
and franchise tax rate) to the amount we would have been required to pay had we not been able to utilize any of the tax benefits subject
to the Tax Receivable Agreement. The actual increases in tax basis covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement, as well as the amount and
timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending on a number of factors, including the timing of any redemption
of Exchangeable OpCo Units, the price of Class A Common Stock at the time of each redemption, the extent to which such redemptions are
taxable transactions, the amount of the redeeming OpCo unitholder's tax basis in its Exchangeable OpCo Units at the time of the
relevant redemption, the depreciation and amortization periods that apply to the increase in tax basis, the amount and timing of taxable
income we generate in the future, the U.S. federal income tax rates then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable
Agreement that constitute imputed interest or give rise to depreciable or amortizable tax basis. Any distributions made by OpCo to us
in order to enable us to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, as well as any corresponding pro rata distributions made to
the OpCo unitholders, could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity.

 The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement following the exercise
of the OpCo Exchange Rights or a Mandatory Exchange will not be conditioned upon a TRA Holder having a continued ownership interest in
us or OpCo.

 In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement
may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, Zeo realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the
Tax Receivable Agreement.

 If we experience a change of control (as defined under the Tax Receivable
Agreement, which includes certain mergers, asset sales and other forms of business combinations) or the Tax Receivable Agreement otherwise
terminates early (at our election or as a result of our breach or the commencement of bankruptcy or similar proceedings by or against
us), our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement would accelerate and we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to
the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and it is expected that such
payment would be substantial. The calculation of anticipated future payments would be based upon certain assumptions and deemed events
set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including (i) that we have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits covered
by the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (ii) that any OpCo Units (other than those held by us) outstanding on the termination date are deemed
to be redeemed on the termination date. If we were to experience a change of control or the Tax Receivable Agreement was otherwise terminated
as of the Closing Date, we estimate that the early termination payment, calculated on the basis of the above assumptions and assuming
a share price of $10.00 per share, would be approximately $66.4 million (calculated using a discount rate equal to (i) the greater of
(a) 0.25% and (b) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (" SOFR "), plus (ii) 150 basis points). The foregoing
amount is merely an estimate and the actual payment could differ materially. The aggregate amount of payments that are actually made under
the Tax Receivable Agreement could substantially exceed the estimated termination payment described above.

 Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance
of, and may materially exceed, the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the termination payment relates. Moreover,
the obligation to make an early termination payment upon a change of control could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity
and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, or other forms of business combinations or
changes of control.

 There can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy our obligations
under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

 In the event that payment obligations under the Tax Receivable
Agreement are accelerated in connection with a change of control, the consideration payable to holders of Class A Common Stock in connection
with such change of control could be substantially reduced.

 If we experience a change of control (as defined under the Tax Receivable
Agreement, which includes certain mergers, asset sales and other forms of business combinations), we would be obligated to make a substantial
immediate payment, and such payment may be significantly in advance of, and may materially exceed, the actual realization, if any, of
the future tax benefits to which the payment relates. As a result of this payment obligation, holders of Class A Common Stock could receive
substantially less consideration in connection with a change of control transaction than they would receive in the absence of such obligation.
Further, any payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not be conditioned upon the TRA Holders having a continued interest
in us or OpCo. Accordingly, the TRA Holders' interests may conflict with those of the holders of Class A Common Stock.

 We will not be reimbursed for any payments made under the Tax
Receivable Agreement in the event that any tax benefits are subsequently disallowed.

 Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax
reporting positions that we will determine. The IRS or another taxing authority may challenge all or part of the tax basis increases covered
by the Tax Receivable Agreement, as well as other related tax positions we take, and a court could sustain such challenge. The TRA Holders
will not be required to reimburse us for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if any tax benefits that have
given rise to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are subsequently disallowed, except that excess payments made to any TRA Holder
will be netted against future payments that would otherwise be made to such TRA Holder, if any, after our determination of such excess
(which determination may be made a number of years following the initial payment and after future payments have been made). As a result,
in such circumstances, we could make payments that are greater than our actual net cash tax savings, if any, and we may not be able to
recoup those payments, which could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity.

 If OpCo were to become a publicly traded partnership taxable
as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we and OpCo might be subject to potentially significant tax inefficiencies, and
we would not be able to recover payments previously made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement even if the corresponding tax benefits
were subsequently determined to have been unavailable due to such status.

 We intend to operate such that OpCo does not become a publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A "publicly traded partnership" is a partnership
the interests of which are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial
equivalent thereof. Under certain circumstances, transfers of OpCo Units could cause OpCo to be treated as a publicly traded partnership.
Applicable U.S. Treasury regulations provide for certain safe harbors from treatment as a publicly traded partnership, and we intend to
operate such that redemptions or other transfers of OpCo Units qualify for one or more of such safe harbors. For example, we intend to
limit the number of holders of OpCo Units, and the OpCo A&R LLC Agreement provides for certain limitations on the ability of holders
of OpCo Units to transfer their OpCo Units and provides us, as the manager of OpCo, with the right to prohibit the exercise of an OpCo
Exchange Right if we determine (based on the advice of counsel) there is a material risk that OpCo would be a publicly traded partnership
as a result of such exercise.

 If OpCo were to become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, significant tax inefficiencies might result for us and for OpCo, including as a result of our inability
to file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with OpCo. In addition, we might not be able to realize tax benefits covered under
the Tax Receivable Agreement, and we would not be able to recover any payments previously made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement,
even if the corresponding tax benefits (including any claimed increase in the tax basis of OpCo's assets) were subsequently determined
to have been unavailable.

 In certain circumstances, OpCo will be required to make tax distributions
to the OpCo unitholders, including us, and the tax distributions that OpCo will be required to make may be substantial. The OpCo tax distribution
requirement may complicate our ability to maintain our intended capital structure.

 To the extent OpCo has available cash, we intend to cause OpCo to make
generally pro rata distributions to the holders of OpCo Units, including us, in an amount sufficient to cause each OpCo unitholder to
receive a distribution at least equal to (i) such OpCo unitholder's allocable share of net taxable income as calculated with certain
assumptions, multiplied by an assumed tax rate, and (ii) with respect to us, any payments required to be made by us under the Tax Receivable
Agreement. The assumed tax rate for this purpose will be the combined maximum U.S. federal, state, and local rate of tax applicable to
an individual resident in New York City, New York for the applicable taxable year. The amount of tax distributions to such unitholder
for any year may be reduced by prior operating distributions made to that unitholder for such year. As a result of certain assumptions
in calculating the tax distribution payments, including the assumed tax rate, we may receive tax distributions from OpCo that exceed our
actual tax liability and our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement by a material amount.

 The receipt of such excess distributions would complicate our ability
to maintain certain aspects of our capital structure. Such cash, if retained, could cause the value of an OpCo Manager Unit to deviate
from the value of a share of Class A Common Stock. If we retain such cash balances, the holders of Exchangeable OpCo Units would benefit
from any value attributable to such accumulated cash balances as a result of their exercise of the OpCo Exchange Rights. We intend to
take steps to eliminate any material cash balances. Such steps could include distributing such cash balances as dividends on the Class
A Common Stock or reinvesting such cash balances in OpCo for additional OpCo Manager Units (with an accompanying stock dividend with respect
to Class A Common Stock).

 The tax distributions to the OpCo unitholders may be substantial and
may, in the aggregate, exceed the amount of taxes that OpCo would have paid if it were a similarly situated corporate taxpayer. Funds
used by OpCo to satisfy its tax distribution obligations will generally not be available for reinvestment in its business.

 ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

 None.

 ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY.

 Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

 We have developed and implemented, and continue
to implement, cybersecurity risk management processes intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical
systems and information. Primary cybersecurity oversight responsibility is shared by our board of directors, our audit and compliance
committee ("Audit Committee"), and senior management.

 Our cybersecurity risk management program includes physical, technological,
and administrative controls intended to support our cybersecurity and data governance framework, including protections designed to protect
the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our key information systems and customer, employee, partner, and other third-party
information stored on those systems. These measures include access controls, encryption, data handling requirements, and internal policies
that govern our cybersecurity risk management and data protection practices. Our program also includes cybersecurity risk assessment processes
designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems and information.

 Over the past fiscal year, we have not identified risks from known
cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business
strategy, operating results, or financial condition.

 We will continue to monitor and assess our
cybersecurity risk management program as well as seek to improve such systems and processes as appropriate. If we were to experience a
material cybersecurity incident in the future, such incident may have a material effect, including on our operations, business strategy,
operating results, or financial condition. For more information regarding cybersecurity risks that we face and potential impacts on our
business related thereto, see the section titled " Risk Factors " in Part I, Item 1A of this Report.

 Cybersecurity Governance

 With oversight from our board of directors,
the Audit Committee is primarily responsible for assisting the board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to risk assessment
and management, including cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Audit Committee oversees management's implementation
of our cybersecurity risk management program, including processes and policies for determining risk tolerance, and reviews management's
strategies for adequately mitigating and managing identified risks relating to cybersecurity threats.

 The Audit Committee will receive updates from
members of management on our cybersecurity risks at its quarterly meetings, and reviews metrics about cyber threat response preparedness,
program maturity, risk mitigation status, and the current and emerging threat landscape. In addition, management will provide updates
to the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity threats or incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser
impact potential.

 The Audit Committee reports to our board of
directors regarding its activities, including those related to key cybersecurity risks, mitigation strategies, and ongoing developments,
on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as needed. The board of directors also receives updates from management on our cyber risk management
program and other matters relating to our data privacy and cybersecurity approach, including risk mitigations to bolster and enhance our
data protection and data governance framework.

 Our management team is responsible for assessing
and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats and for our overall cybersecurity risk management program on a day-to-day basis.
Our management team supervises our efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various
means, including through briefings from internal IT personnel, which may include threat intelligence and other information obtained from
governmental, public or private sources, and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our IT environment.

 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

 Our corporate
headquarters are located in Florida under a lease that expires at the end of October 2026. We maintain offices for operations in Texas
and Arkansas, and we have sales, marketing and executive offices in Utah and throughout Florida. We currently lease the office and warehouse
spaces that we use in our operations, and we do not own any real property. We believe that our facility space adequately meets our needs
and that we will be able to obtain any additional operating space that may be required on commercially reasonable terms..

 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 To the knowledge of our management,
there is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management
team in their capacity as such.

 ITEM 6. [RESERVED]

 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 As discussed elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and below, Zeo became a publicly held entity in March 2024 upon the
completion of the Business Combination with ESGEN.

 The following discussion and analysis is exclusively
attributable to the operations of ESGEN for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, as well as certain activities up to
and including the effective date of the Business Combination, or March 13, 2024. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the related notes thereto, which have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

 Overview

 We were incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April
19, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business
combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "Business Combination"). We will not be limited to a particular industry
or geographic region in our identification and acquisition of a target company.

 Our sponsor is ESGEN LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Sponsor").

 The registration statement for our initial public offering ("initial
public offering", "IPO" or "Public Offering") was declared effective on October 19, 2021. On October 22,
2021, we consummated our initial public offering of 27,600,000 units (the "Units" and, with respect to the ordinary shares
included in the Units being offered, the "public shares") at $10.00 per Unit (which included the full exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option), and the sale of 14,040,000 warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants") each exercisable to purchase
one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor
that closed simultaneously with the initial public offering.

 Following the closing of our initial public offering on October 22,
2021, $281,520,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds sold in our initial public offering, including proceeds of the sale of the
Private Placement Warrants, was deposited in a trust account ("Trust Account") and, until October 16, 2023, was only invested
in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity
of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which
invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. To mitigate the risk of being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered
investment company under the Investment Company Act, on October 16, 2023, we instructed the Trustee with respect to the Trust Account,
to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust
Account in demand deposits (i.e., in one or more bank accounts) until the earliest of ESGEN's completion of an initial business
combination or July 22, 2024 (assuming the Sponsor deposits the required amount into the Trust Account for each New Additional Extension
Date and unless the Company's shareholders approve one or more further Additional Extensions), as applicable.

 Prior to shareholder approval of the First Extension Charter Amendment
(as defined below), we had 15 months from the closing of our initial public offering to consummate the initial Business Combination. If
we have not consummated the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the
purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares,
at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on
the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest or
dividends to pay winding up and dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions,
if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders
and board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands
law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 On January 18, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting
of shareholders to consider and vote upon, among other things, a proposal to amend the Company's amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association (the "First Extension Charter Amendment") to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate
its initial Business Combination (the "Termination Date") from January 22, 2023 to April 22, 2023 and (ii) in the event that
the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by April 22, 2023, to allow the Company, by resolution of the Company's
board of directors (the "Board") and, without any approval of the Company's shareholders, upon five days' advance
notice prior to each Additional Extension, to extend the Termination Date up to six times (with each such extension being upon five days'
advance notice), each by one additional month (for a total of up to six additional months to complete a business combination) (each, an
"Additional Extension" and such date, an "Additional Extension Date"), provided that the Sponsor or the Sponsor's
affiliates or permitted designees will deposit into the Trust Account for each Additional Extension Date the lesser of (a) $140,000 or
(b) $0.04 for each public share that is then-outstanding, in exchange for one or more non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes
issued by the Company to the Sponsor or the Sponsor's affiliates or permitted designees (the "Lenders" and each a "Lender").
In connection with the vote to approve the First Extension Charter Amendment, the holders of 24,703,445 Class A ordinary shares properly
exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.35 per share, for an aggregate redemption
amount of $255,875,758. The Company currently has until July 22, 2024 (assuming the Sponsor deposits the required amount into the Trust
Account for each New Additional Extension Date and unless the Company's shareholders approve one or more further Additional Extensions)
to complete an initial Business Combination.

 On October 20, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting
(the "Meeting") and approved (i) (a) the extension (such proposal, the "Extension Proposal") of the time period
the Company has to complete an initial Business Combination from October 22, 2023 to January 22, 2024 (the "Charter Amendment")
and (b) in the event that the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by January 22, 2024, to allow the Company, by
resolution of the Board and, without any approval of the Company's shareholders, upon five days' advance notice prior to each
Additional Extension, to complete six Additional Extensions, provided that the Sponsor or the Sponsor's affiliates or permitted
designees will deposit into the Trust Account for each Additional Extension Date the lesser of (x) $35,000 or (y) $0.0175 for each public
share that is then-outstanding, in exchange for one or more non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes issued by a Lender, and (ii)
the amendment of the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to change certain provisions which restrict
the Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, of the Company (the "Class B ordinary shares") from converting to Class A
ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the "Class A ordinary shares") prior to the consummation of an initial Business Combination
(such proposal, the "Conversion Proposal"). As of the date of filing this report, the Company has deposited the requisite
amounts into the Trust Account for each Additional Extension Date until March 22, 2024.

 In connection with the vote to approve the above proposals, the holders
of 1,488,000 Class A ordinary shares of ESGEN properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of
approximately $11.21 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $16,679,055.

 In connection with the approval of the Extension Proposal at the Meeting
and the adoption of the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor contributed into the Trust Account $0.0525 per share for each Class A ordinary
share that was not redeemed at the Meeting, for an aggregate contribution of $73,949.

 In connection with the approval of the Conversion Proposal at the Meeting
and the adoption of the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor converted all of its 5,619,077 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares
(the "Sponsor Share Conversion"). As a result of the Sponsor Share Conversion and redemptions made in connection with the
Extension Proposal and Conversion Proposal, 7,027,632 Class A ordinary shares remain outstanding. Notwithstanding the Sponsor Share Conversion,
the Sponsor will be not entitled to receive any funds held in the Trust Account with respect to any Class A ordinary shares issued to
the Sponsor as a result of the Sponsor Share Conversion and no additional amounts will be deposited into the Trust Account in respect
of shares of Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor in connection with the extension of the Termination Date to the Extended Date
or any Additional Extension Dates.

 On March 13, 2024 (the "Closing Date"),
the registrant consummated its previously announced business combination (the "Closing"), pursuant to that certain Business
Combination Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2023 (as amended on January 24, 2024, the "Business Combination Agreement"),
by and among Zeo Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a ESGEN Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company), ESGEN
OpCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company("OpCo"), Sunergy Renewables, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Sunergy"),
the Sunergy equityholders set forth on the signature pages thereto or joined thereto (collectively, "Sellers" and each, a
"Seller", and collectively with Sunergy, the "Sunergy Parties"), for limited purposes, ESGEN LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Sponsor"), and for limited purposes, Timothy Bridgewater, an individual, in his capacity as the Sellers
Representative (collectively, the "Business Combination"). Prior to the Closing, (i) except as otherwise specified in the
Business Combination Agreement, each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of ESGEN was converted into one Class A ordinary share
of ESGEN (the "ESGEN Class A Ordinary Shares" and such conversion, the "ESGEN Share Conversion"); and (ii) ESGEN
was domesticated into the State of Delaware so as to become a Delaware corporation (the "Domestication"). In connection with
the Closing, the registrant changed its name from "ESGEN Acquisition Corporation" to "Zeo Energy Corp."

 Following, each then-outstanding ESGEN Class
A Ordinary Share was converted into one share of Class A common stock of the registrant, par value $0.0001 per share ("Zeo Class
A Common Stock"), and each then-outstanding ESGEN Public Warrant converted automatically into a warrant of the registrant, exercisable
for one share of Zeo Class A Common Stock. Additionally, each outstanding unit of ESGEN was cancelled and separated into one share of
Zeo Class A Common Stock and one-half of one warrant of the registrant.

 In accordance with the terms of the Business
Combination Agreement, Sunergy caused all holders of any options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase any equity interests
of Sunergy or its subsidiaries or securities (including debt securities) convertible into or exchangeable for, or that otherwise confer
on the holder any right to acquire, any equity interests of Sunergy or any subsidiary thereof (collectively, the "Sunergy Convertible
Interests") existing immediately prior to the Closing to either exchange or convert all such holder's Sunergy Convertible
Interests into limited liability interests of Sunergy (the "Sunergy Company Interests") in accordance with the governing
documents of Sunergy or the Sunergy Convertible Interests.

 At the Closing, ESGEN contributed to OpCo (1)
all of its assets (excluding its interests in OpCo, but including the amount of cash in ESGEN's Trust Account (the "Trust
Account") as of immediately prior to the Closing (after giving effect to the exercise of redemption rights by ESGEN shareholders)),
and (2) a number of newly issued shares (the "Seller Class V Shares") of Class V common stock of the registrant, par value
$0.0001 per share("Zeo Class V Common Stock"), which are non-economic, voting shares of Zeo, equal to the number of Seller
OpCo Units (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)and in exchange, OpCo issued to ESGEN (i) a number of Class A common units
of OpCo (the "Manager OpCo Units") which equaled the total number of shares of the Zeo Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately after the Closing and (ii) a number of warrants to purchase Manager OpCo Units which equaled the number of SPAC Warrants
(as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing (the transactions described above
in this paragraph, the "ESGEN Contribution"). Immediately following the ESGEN Contribution, (x) the Sellers contributed to
OpCo the Sunergy Company Interests and (y) in exchange therefor, OpCo transferred to the Sellers the Seller OpCo Units and the Seller
Class V Shares.

 Prior to the Closing, Sellers transferred 24.167%
of their Sunergy Company Interests (which were thereafter exchanged for Seller OpCo Units and Seller Class V Shares at the Closing, as
described above) pro rata to Sun Managers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Sun Managers"), in exchange for Class
A Units (as defined in the Sun Managers limited liability company agreement (the "SM LLCA") in Sun Managers. In connection
with such transfer, Sun Managers executed a joinder to, and became a "Seller" for purposes of, the Business Combination Agreement.
Sun Managers intends to grant Class B Units (as defined in the SM LLCA) in Sun Managers through the Sun Managers, LLC Management Incentive
Plan (the "Management Incentive Plan") adopted by Sun Managers to certain eligible employees or service providers of OpCo,
Sunergy or their subsidiaries, in the discretion of Timothy Bridgewater, as manager of Sun Managers. Such Class B Units may be subject
to a vesting schedule, and once such Class B Units become vested, there may be an exchange opportunity through which the grantees may
request (subject to the terms of the Management Incentive Plan and the OpCo A&R LLC Agreement (as defined below)) the exchange of
their Class B Units into Seller OpCo Units (together with an equal number of Seller Class V Shares), which may then be converted into
Zeo Class A Common Stock (subject to the terms of the Management Incentive Plan and the OpCo A&R LLC Agreement). Grants under the
Management Incentive Plan will be made after Closing.

 As of the Closing Date, upon consummation of the
Business Combination, the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the registrant were shares of Zeo Class A Common Stock and Zeo Class
V Common Stock.

 In connection with entering into the Business
Combination Agreement, ESGEN and the Sponsor entered into a subscription agreement, dated April 19, 2023, which ESGEN, the Sponsor and
OpCo subsequently amended and restated on January 24, 2024 (the "Sponsor Subscription Agreement"), pursuant to which, among
other things, the Sponsor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 preferred units of OpCo("Convertible OpCo Preferred Unitrs")
convertible into Exchangeable OpCo Unites (as defined below) (and be issued an equal number of shares of Zeo Class V Common Stock) concurrently
with the Closing at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per unit and up to an additional 500,000 Convertible OpCo Preferred Units (together
with the concurrent issuance of an equal number of shares of Zeo Class V Common Stock) during the six months after Closing if called
for by Zeo. Prior to the Closing, ESGEN informed the Sponsor that it wished to call for the additional 500,000 Convertible OpCo Preferred
Units at the Closing and, as a result, a total of 1,500,000 Convertible OpCo Preferred Units and an equal number of shares of Zeo Class
V Common Stock were issued to Sponsor pursuant to the Sponsor Subscription Agreement for aggregate consideration of $15,000,000.

 On April 5, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note (the "Note") in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company
from time to time prior to the consummation of the Sunergy Business Combination. The Note does not bear interest, matures on the date
of consummation of the Sunergy Business Combination and is subject to customary events of default. As of December 31, 2023, there was
$1,238,449 outstanding under the Note.

 On October 17, 2023, ESGEN issued an amended and restated promissory
note (the "October 2023 Promissory Note") in the principal amount of up to $2,500,000 to the Sponsor. The October 2023 Promissory
Note amends, restates, replaces and supersedes the Note dated April 5, 2023. The October 2023 Promissory Note could be drawn down by ESGEN
from time to time prior to the consummation of ESGEN's initial Business Combination. The October 2023 Promissory Note did not bear
interest, matured on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and was subject to customary events of default. The October
2023 Promissory Note, as well as the promissory note issued on April 17, 2021 to the Sponsor ("April 2021 Promissory Note"),
was not repaid and was cancelled at the closing of the Business Combination.

 On January 24, 2024, ESGEN issued a new promissory note ("January
2024 Promissory Note") in the principal amount of up to $750,000 to the Sponsor. The January 2024 Promissory Note could be drawn
down by ESGEN from time to time prior to the consummation of ESGEN's initial Business Combination for specific uses as designated
therein. The January 2024 Promissory Note did not bear interest, matured on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and was
subject to customary events of default. The principal amount under the January 2024 Promissory Note was paid at the closing of the Business
Combination from the funds that ESGEN had available to it outside of its Trust Account.

 On March 6, 2024, the Company and, following consummation of the Business
Combination, New PubCo held its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") and adopted the following proposals.

 1. To approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement.

 2. To approve an amendment to the Company's
existing organizational documents to eliminate the requirement that the Company retain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets

in amounts that would cause ESGEN's net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

 3. To approve the domestication of the Company.

 4. To approve and adopt the proposed charter and proposed
bylaws of New PubCo.

 5. To approve the following material differences between
the Existing Organizational Documents and the Proposed Charter upon the Domestication.

 On March 11, 2024, the Company entered into a non-redemption agreement
(the "Non-Redemption Agreement") with The K2 Principal Fund L.P. ("K2"), pursuant to which K2 agreed (i) to purchase
at least 174,826 of the Company's Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A ordinary shares"),
in the open market from investors who had elected to redeem such shares in connection with the Company's March 6, 2024 extraordinary
general meeting of shareholders and (ii) not to redeem and to validly rescind any redemption requests on such purchased Class A ordinary
shares.

 In exchange for the foregoing commitments to purchase and not redeem
such Class A ordinary shares, the Company agreed to issue, for no consideration an aggregate of 225,174 shares of Class A common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share, of Zeo Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation and the successor to ESGEN following the transactions contemplated
by the Business Combination Agreement, at the consummation of the Business Combination.

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 All of our activity from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December
31, 2023, was in preparation for our initial public offering, and since our initial public offering, including the effectuation of the
Charter Amendment and the negotiation and entry into the Business Combination Agreement. We will not generate any operating revenues until
the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

 For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $3,001,194,
which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $317,376 and operating costs of $5,059,125, partially offset by interest
and investment income on marketable securities and cash held in Trust Account of $1,950,267 and recovery of deferred offering costs allocated
to warrants of $425,040.

 For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net income of $14,334,250,
which consisted of a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $13,179,936, interest and investment income on marketable securities
and cash held in Trust Account of $3,984,431, partially offset by a loss from operations of $2,830,117.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 As of December 31, 2023, we had cash of $60,518 and owe $5,669,349
in accounts payable and accrued expenses and an additional $2,122,937 payable to related parties. Prior to the completion of our initial
public offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000 and a loan to us of
up to $300,000 by our Sponsor under an unsecured promissory note, which had an outstanding balance of $171,346 at December 31, 2023 and
2022. The Sponsor has agreed to defer repayment of the loan until the close of the Business Combination. On April 5, 2023, we issued the
Note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to our Sponsor, which may be drawn down by us from time to time prior to the consummation
of the initial Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023, there was $1,612,398 outstanding under the Note.

 In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with
a business combination, our Sponsor, an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to,
provide us Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

 The Company anticipates that its cash will not be sufficient to allow
the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. The Company has incurred and expects
to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans and the closing of the business combination described in Note
10. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 The Company will seek additional capital through other financing alternatives.
There can be no assurance that new financings or other transactions will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms,
or at all. Should the Company fail to raise additional cash from outside sources, this would have a material adverse impact on its operations.

 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the
normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification
of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going
concern.

 Contractual Obligations

 Other than the below, we do not have any long-term debt obligations,
capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long- term liabilities.

 Underwriting Agreement

 The IPO underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriters fee of
3.5% of the gross proceeds of our IPO upon the completion of our initial Business Combination. In April 2023, the IPO underwriters waived
any right to receive such deferred underwriters fee and will therefore receive no additional underwriters fee in connection with the Closing.

 Office Space, Secretarial and Administrative Services

 Through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination
or the liquidation, the Company incurs $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services
provided by the Sponsor. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $120,000, pursuant to this agreement. No
amounts have been paid for these services. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has accrued and reported on the balance sheets
$264,193 and $144,193, respectively, pursuant to this agreement, and included in "Due to related party".

 Registration Rights

 The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any
warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the
Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights
pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed at the closing of our initial public offering (the "IPO Registration
Rights Agreement"). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that
we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to our completion of the initial Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement
provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares,
and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement. Warrants and the respective Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private
Placement Warrants, 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection
with the filing of any such registration statements. The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that
may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Working Capital
Loans and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a
registration and expected shareholder rights agreement signed at the closing of our initial public offering. The holders of these securities
are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the company register such securities.

 In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration
rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of its initial Business Combination. However, the registration
and shareholder rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become
effective until termination of the applicable lockup period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, as described in the following
paragraph, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants,
30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of
any such registration statements.

 Except as described herein, the Sponsor and its directors and executive
officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion
of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary
shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination,
or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the public
shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees would
be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor and its directors and executive officers with respect to any founder
shares. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor with respect to any Founder
Shares.

 In addition, pursuant to the registration and shareholder rights agreement,
the Sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial Business Combination, will be entitled to nominate three individuals for election
to the board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement.

 A&R Registration Rights Agreement

 The Amended Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, at the
Closing, Sunergy, Sunergy's underlying equityholders and the Initial Shareholders (as defined below) (collectively, the "New
PubCo Holders") and New PubCo will enter into an amended and restated IPO Registration Rights Agreement (the "A&R Registration
Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, New PubCo and the Initial Shareholders will agree to amend and restate
the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2021, entered into by them in connection with ESGEN's
initial public offering. Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, New PubCo will agree that, within 30 days following the
consummation of the Sunergy Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale shelf registration
statement on behalf of Sunergy, Sunergy's underlying equityholders and the Initial Shareholders registering (i) New PubCo's
private placement warrants, (ii) any outstanding shares of New PubCo Class A Common Stock held by the New PubCo Holders, (iii) any shares
of New PubCo Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon exchange of an equivalent number of Class B units of OpCo and Class V common
stock of New PubCo, par value $0.0001 per share, issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Amended Business Combination Agreement, (iv) any
shares of New PubCo Class A Common Stock issued or to be issued to any of the New PubCo Holders in connection with the Sunergy Business
Combination and (v) any other equity security of New PubCo issued or issuable with respect to any of the foregoing by way of a stock dividend
or stock split or in connection of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (collectively, the "Registrable
Securities"); provided, however, that as to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities shall cease to be Registrable
Securities when (A) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities becomes effective under the Securities
Act and such Registrable Securities shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with such registration statement,
(B) such Registrable Securities shall have been otherwise transferred and such transferee is not entitled to the registration rights provided
in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, (C) such Registrable Securities shall have ceased to be outstanding, or (D) such Registrable
Securities may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 145, as applicable, promulgated under the Securities Act (or
any successor rule promulgated thereto) (but with no volume or other restrictions or limitations).

 Additionally, the A&R Registration Rights Agreement will also provide,
subject to certain underwriter cutbacks and suspension periods, (i) certain demand rights entitling the New PubCo Holders the right to
require New PubCo to effect an underwritten offering and (ii) certain piggyback rights entitling the New PubCo Holders the right to include
such New PubCo Holder's Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering that New PubCo proposes to consummate for its own account
or for the account of its stockholders.

 Concurrently with the execution of the Amended Business Combination
Agreement, the Sponsor, the independent directors of the board of directors of ESGEN and one or more client accounts of Westwood Group
Holdings, Inc. (successor to Salient Capital Advisors, LLC) (collectively, the "Initial Shareholders") entered into an amendment
(as amended, the "Amendment to the Letter Agreement") to that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2021, by and
between the Initial Shareholders, pursuant to which, among other things, each of the Initial Shareholders agreed (i) not to transfer his,
her or its ESGEN Class B ordinary shares (or the ESGEN Class A Common Stock issuable in exchange for such ESGEN Class B ordinary shares
pursuant to the Amended Business Combination Agreement) prior to the earlier of (A) six months after the Closing or (B) subsequent to
the Closing (x) if the last sale price of the ESGEN Class A Common Stock quoted on Nasdaq is greater than or equal to $12 per share (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-consecutive
trading day period commencing at least 90 days after Closing, or (y) the date on which ESGEN completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange
or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company's shareholders having the right to exchange their ESGEN Class A
ordinary shares (including any shares of ESGEN Class A Common Stock issuable in exchange for such ESGEN Class A ordinary shares) for cash,
securities or other property and (ii) each Initial Shareholder agreed to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the
governing documents of ESGEN with respect to the ESGEN Class B ordinary shares prior to the earlier of the ESGEN Share Conversion or the
Closing.

 Critical Accounting Estimates

 The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 Refer to Note 2 ("Significant Accounting Policies") in
the financial statements for the recent accounting pronouncements.

 Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

 As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and are not required to provide the information otherwise
required under this item.

 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

 This information appears following Item 15 of this Report
and is incorporated herein by reference.

 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 None.

 ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed
with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report,
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls
are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management
evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting described below. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure
that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures
will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design
of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design
of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial
Reporting

 Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f))
for us. Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, our management assessed
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 based on criteria specified in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, our management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over
financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023. We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting, specifically, we did not design and maintain an effective control environment to prevent or detect material misstatements to
the financial statements. Specifically, we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of internal controls
and accounting knowledge, training and experience commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, management did
not design and maintain effective controls over the calculation of earnings per share and classification of the reinvestment of interest
and dividend income in the Trust Account in the statement of cash flows.

 A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Further, the design
of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design
of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

is qualified to serve both as a member of our management team and the Board because of his visionary leadership of Zeo from inception
to date, his experience in energy development, and his over 30 years of commercial and international banking, international finance and
business development experience working in the U.S., Asia and Latin America.

he managed a sales office for Atlantic Key Energy, LLC from March 2019 to October 2019. Mr. Larsen holds an associate degree from Weber

he founded that provided marketing and sales for solar energy installation companies. Mr. Guy holds a construction financial officer license
in the state of Florida. We believe that Mr. Guy is qualified to serve as a member of our management team and the Board because of his
pivotal role in driving Zeo's business expansion through his expertise in sales, finance, construction, and strategic leadership.

 Family Relationships

 Timothy Bridgewater is the father of Brandon Bridgewater.
There are no other family relationships among our directors and executive officers.

 Corporate Governance

 Composition of the Board of Directors

 Zeo's business affairs are managed under the direction
of its board of directors, which consists of six members. Under our bylaws, each director will hold office until the expiration of the
term of the class, if any, for which elected and until such director's successor is elected and qualified or until such director's
earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal. Pursuant to our charter, the number of directors on the Board will be fixed
exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the board. Any vacancies on the Board and any newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the number of directors will also be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors
then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

 Director Independence

 As a result of Zeo's common stock being listed on Nasdaq,
Zeo is required to comply with the applicable rules of such exchange in determining whether a director is independent. The Board has undertaken
a review of the independence of the individuals named above and have determined that each of Dr. Abigail M. Allen, Neil Bush, James P.
Benson and Mark M. Jacobs qualifies as "independent" as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules.

 Committees of the Board of Directors

 The Board directs the management of its business and affairs,
as provided by Delaware law, and conducts its business through meetings of the board of directors and standing committees. Zeo has a standing
audit committee and compensation committee, each of which operates under a written charter.

 In addition, from time to time, special committees may be
established under the direction of the Board when it deems it necessary or advisable to address specific issues. Current copies of Zeo's
committee charters are posted on its website (investors.zeoenergy.com), as required by applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. The information
on or available through any of such website is not deemed incorporated in this Report and does not form part of this Report.

 Audit Committee

 Zeo has an audit committee consisting of Dr. Abigail M. Allen,
James P. Benson and Mark M. Jacobs, and Dr. Allen serves as the chair of the audit committee. The Board has determined that each of these
individuals meets the independence requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and
the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. Each member of Zeo's audit committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial
statements in accordance with Nasdaq audit committee requirements. In arriving at this determination, the board examined each proposed
audit committee member's scope of experience and the nature of their prior and/or current employment.

 The Board has determined that Dr. Abigail M. Allen qualifies
as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and meets the financial sophistication requirements of the
Nasdaq rules. In making this determination, the Board considered formal education and previous and current experience in financial and
accounting roles. Both Zeo's independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically meet privately with Zeo's
audit committee.

 The audit committee's responsibilities include, among
other things:

 appointing, compensating, retaining,
evaluating, terminating and overseeing Zeo's independent registered public accounting firm;

 discussing with Zeo's
independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management;

 reviewing with Zeo's
independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;

 pre-approving all audit
and permissible non-audit services to be performed by Zeo's independent registered public accounting firm;

 overseeing the financial reporting
process and discussing with management and Zeo's independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial
statements that Zeo files with the SEC;

 reviewing and monitoring Zeo's
accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
and

 establishing procedures for
the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.

 Compensation Committee

 Zeo has a compensation committee consisting of Neil Bush,
James P. Benson and Mark M. Jacobs, and Mr. Bush serves as the chair of the compensation committee. All members are non-employee directors, as
defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Board has determined that each proposed member is "independent"
as defined under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards, including the standards specific to members of a compensation committee. The
compensation committee's responsibilities include, among other things:

 reviewing and setting or making
recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of Zeo's executive officers;

 making recommendations to the
Board regarding the compensation of Zeo's directors;

 reviewing and approving or
making recommendations to the Board regarding Zeo's incentive compensation and equity-based plans and arrangements; and

 appointing and overseeing any
compensation consultants.

 We believe that the composition and functioning of Zeo's
compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards.

 Director Nominations

 Zeo does not have a nominating committee. However, Zeo will
form a nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of Nasdaq rules,
a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the Board. The ESGEN Board believes that the
Zeo independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without
the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees
are Dr. Abigail M. Allen, James P. Benson, Neil Bush and Mark M. Jacobs. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of Nasdaq rules, all such
directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

 The Board will also consider director candidates recommended
for nomination by its stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting
of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Zeo's stockholders that wish to nominate a director for
election should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

 Zeo has not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications
that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director,
the Board will consider educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional
reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of its stockholders.

 Code of Ethics

 Zeo has a code of ethics that applies to all of its executive
officers, directors and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer
or controller or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics is available on Zeo's website (investors.zeoenergy.com).

 Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 None of Zeo's executive officers currently serves,
or has served during the last year, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more
executive officers serving as a member of the Board.

 ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

 ESGEN

 On April 27, 2021, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for
certain expenses on behalf of ESGEN in exchange for issuance of 5,750,000 ESGEN Class B ordinary shares. In September 2021, certain
shareholders surrendered, for no consideration, an aggregate of 1,437,500 ESGEN Class B ordinary shares, leaving 5,750,000 founder
shares outstanding. On September 10, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 115,000 founder shares to each of Larry L. Helm, Mark M. Jacobs
and Sanjay Bishnoi, ESGEN's independent directors. In October 2021, a share dividend was issued which resulted in 6,900,000 founder
shares outstanding. In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for
any out-of-pocketexpenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and
performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made
by us to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination
will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not
have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.
Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder's and consulting fees, were paid by
the ESGEN to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business
combination.

 We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and
directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

 Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control

in connection with a termination of employment, change in job responsibility or change in control.

 The compensation of the Company's directors after the
consummation of the Business Combination will be determined by the Compensation Committee.

 Equity-Based Awards

 Sunergy did not have any equity-based plans or awards in
2023.

 Sunergy Compensation of Directors

 Sunergy had four managers that made up its Board of Managers
(Anton Hruby, Gianluca Guy, Kalen Larsen, and Brandon Bridgewater). None of the directors received any separate payments that solely relate
to their roles as directors of Sunergy for the year that ended December 31, 2023. Any amounts they received consisted solely of distributions

 ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS.

 The following table sets forth
information known to the Company regarding beneficial ownership of shares of the Company's common stock as of March 22, 2024 by:

 each person known by the Company
to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock;

 each of the Company's
named executive officers and directors; and

 all executive officers and
directors as a group.

 Beneficial ownership is determined
according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses
sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options, warrants and certain other derivative securities that
are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days.

 The percentage of beneficial
ownership is based on 5,026,964 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and 35,230,000 shares of Zeo Class V Common Stock
issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date.

 In accordance with SEC rules,
shares of our common stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become
exercisable within 60 days of the date of the Closing are deemed beneficially owned by the holders of such options and warrants and are
deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the
purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of any other person.

 Unless otherwise indicated,
the business address of each of the entities, directors and executives in this table is 7625 Little Rd, Suite 200A, New Port Richey, FL
34654. Unless otherwise indicated and subject to community property laws and similar laws, except as otherwise indicated below, the Company
believes that all parties named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially
owned by them.

 ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS,

 On April 27, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately
$0.004 per share, to cover certain of our offering and formation costs in consideration of 7,187,500 ESGEN Class B ordinary shares,
par value $0.0001. The Sponsor transferred 138,000 ESGEN Class B ordinary shares to each of our independent directors and 866,923
ESGEN Class B ordinary shares to the Westwood Client Accounts.

 ESGEN Private Placement Warrants

 The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,240,000 ESGEN Private Placement
Warrants for a purchase price of $1.00 per whole warrant, or $11,240,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement that occurred simultaneously
with the closing of our IPO. Each ESGEN Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50
per share, subject to adjustment. The ESGEN Private Placement Warrants (including the ESGEN Class A ordinary shares issuable upon
exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until 30 days after the
completion of our initial business combination.

 Pursuant to the Amended Letter Agreement entered into on January 24,
2024, the Sponsor and the other Initial Shareholders agreed to forfeit, for no consideration, all ESGEN Private Placement Warrants held
by them in connection with Closing.

 Promissory Notes

 No compensation of any kind, including finder's and consulting
fees, were paid to the Sponsor, its officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection
with the completion of our initial business combination. However, these individuals were reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable
business combinations. Our audit committee reviewed on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to the Sponsor, and our officers,
directors or their affiliates and determined which expenses and the amount of expenses were reimbursed. There was no cap or ceiling on
the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.

 The Sponsor advanced $262,268 to cover expenses related to our IPO
under the April 2021 Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2023, $171,346 of such covered expenses remains outstanding and is due to
the Sponsor.

 On April 5, 2023, ESGEN issued the April 2023 Promissory Note
in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor, which was amended and restated by the October 2023 Promissory Note, which
could be drawn down by ESGEN from time to time prior to the consummation of our initial business combination. The October 2023 Promissory
Note, as well as the April 2021 Promissory Note was not be repaid and was cancelled at Closing. As of January 31, 2024, ESGEN had
drawn $1,787,047.65 and $171,346 under the October 2023 Promissory Note and April 2021 Promissory Note, respectively.

 On January 24, 2024, ESGEN issued the January 2024 Promissory
Note in the principal amount of up to $750,000 to the Sponsor. The January 2024 Promissory Note could be drawn down by ESGEN from time
to time prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination for specific uses as designated therein. The January 2024 Promissory
Note does not bear interest, matured on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and is subject to customary events of default.
The principal amount under the January 2024 Promissory Note was paid at Closing from funds that ESGEN had available to it outside of its
Trust Account.

 Office Space, Secretarial and Administrative Services

 Until Closing, ESGEN incurred $10,000 per month for office space, utilities,
secretarial support and administrative services provided by the Sponsor. No amounts were paid for these services. As of each of December
31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported on the balance sheets $120,000 pursuant to this agreement, in "Due to related

90 days after Closing, or (B) the date on which New PubCo completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction
that results in all of New PubCo's stockholders having the right to exchange their New PubCo Class A Common Stock for cash,
securities or other property, (ii) to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of ESGEN
with respect to the ESGEN Class B ordinary shares prior to the earlier of the ESGEN Share Conversion or the Closing, (iii) the Sponsor

days commencing at least 90 days after the Closing Date or (b) the date on which New PubCo completes a PubCo Sale (as defined in
the Lock-Up Agreement).

of Convertible OpCo Preferred Units if called for by New PubCo within six months of Closing.

 Sunergy

 Zeo's customers who have entered into leasing agreements have
done so solely with third-party leasing companies established and managed by White Horse Energy, a holding company of which Timothy Bridgewater,
Zeo's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is the owner and manager. Mr. Bridgewater, through White Horse,
holds 1% or less of the membership interests of the third-party leasing companies that own the installed solar energy systems leased by
Zeo Customers, with the remainder of the membership interests being held by third parties. As of December 31, 2023, the third-party leasing
companies had purchased approximately $19.0 million in solar energy systems from Zeo for their leasing customers. As of that date, the
third-party leasing companies had entered into leasing agreements with customers for approximately $6.0 million in leased systems to be
installed by Zeo, if the development and installation of all of those systems continued to completion. Subject to investor and customer
demand, White Horse Energy intends to attract additional investors to form third-party leasing companies that will be able to fund additional
installations of solar systems by Zeo.

 Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

 The Board has adopted a policy with respect to the review, approval
and ratification of related party transactions. Under the policy, Zeo's audit committee is responsible for reviewing and approving
related person transactions. In the course of its review and approval of related party transactions, Zeo's audit committee will
consider the relevant facts and circumstances to decide whether to approve such transactions. In particular, Zeo's policy requires
Zeo's audit committee to consider, among other factors it deems appropriate:

 the related person's
relationship to Zeo and interest in the transaction;

 the material facts of the proposed
transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of the transaction;

 the impact on a director's
or a director nominee's independence in the event the related person is a director or director nominee or an immediate family member
of the director or director nominee;

 the benefits to Zeo of the
proposed transaction;

 if applicable, the availability
of other sources of comparable products or services; and

 an assessment of whether the
proposed transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees generally.

 Zeo's audit committee will only approve those transactions that
are in, or are not inconsistent with, Zeo's best interests and those of Zeo's stockholders, as Zeo's audit committee
determines in good faith. In addition, under Zeo's code of business conduct and ethics, its employees, directors and director nominees
have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict
of interest.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM

 Shareholders and Board of Directors

 ESGEN Acquisition Corporation

 Dallas, Texas

 Opinion on the Financial Statements

 We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of ESGEN Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the related statements of operations,
changes in redeemable ordinary shares and shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related
notes (referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position at December 31, 2023 and 2022 of the Company, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 Going Concern Uncertainty

 The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company does
not have sufficient cash and working capital to sustain its operations. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters
are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 Basis for Opinion

 These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB")
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 Emphasis of Matter – Business Combination

 As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company consummated the business
combination discussed in Note 6 on March 13, 2024.

 /s/ BDO USA, P.C.

 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2021.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 Note 1 — Organization and Business Operation

 ESGEN Acquisition Corporation
(the "Company" or "ESGEN") was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 19, 2021. The Company
was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business
combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "Business Combination"). The Company will not be limited to a particular
industry or geographic region in its identification and acquisition of a target company. The Company consummated the Business Combination on March 13,
2024 (see Note 10 – Subsequent Events).

 As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activity for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2023, relates to the Company's
formation and the initial public offering ("Public Offering" or "IPO") described below and since the closing of
the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the
completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest
or dividend income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering (as defined below).

 The Company's sponsor is ESGEN LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Sponsor").

 The registration statement for the Company's IPO was
declared effective on October 19, 2021. On October 22, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 27,600,000 units (the "Units"
and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the "public shares") at $ 10.00 per Unit and
the sale of 14,040,000 warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants") each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share
at $ 11.50 per share, at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor that closed simultaneously
with the Public Offering.

 The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations
having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred
underwriters fee and taxes payable on the interest or dividends earned on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement
in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will complete the initial Business Combination only if the post-Business
Combination company in which its public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of
the target or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act (the "Investment Company
Act"). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

 Following
the closing of the IPO on October 22, 2021, $ 281,520,000 ($ 10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds sold in the IPO, including proceeds
of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was deposited in a trust account ("Trust Account") and, until October 16,
2023, was only invested in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the
Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7
promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. To mitigate the risk
of being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, on October 16, 2023,
the Company instructed the Trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market
funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in demand deposits (i.e., in one or more bank
accounts) until the earliest of ESGEN's completion of an initial business combination or July 22, 2024 (assuming the Sponsor
deposits the required amount into the Trust Account for each New Additional Extension Date and unless the Company's
shareholders approve one or more further Additional Extensions).

 F- 7

 Except
with respect to interest or other income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay
its income taxes, if any, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as discussed below and subject to the
requirements of law and regulation, will provide that the proceeds from the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement
Warrants held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to the Company, until the completion of the
initial Business Combination, or (2) to the public shareholders, until the earliest of (a) the completion of the initial Business
Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem,
subject to the limitations described herein, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a
shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of
the Company's obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in
connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the public shares if the Company did not complete its initial
Business Combination within 15 months (which was extended pursuant to shareholder approval of the Charter Amendment (as defined
below)) from the closing of this offering (the "Combination Period") or (B) with respect to any other provision relating
to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not
consummated the Business Combination within Combination Period, subject to applicable law. Public shareholders who redeem their
Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (b) in the preceding sentence shall not be
entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if the
Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within Combination Period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares
so redeemed.

 The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity
to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with
a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company
will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its
discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would
require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement.

 The
Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon
the completion of its initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on
deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination,
including interest or dividends earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its
income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The
amount in the Trust Account is initially $ 10.20 per public share. The per share amount the Company will distribute to investors who
properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriters fee the Company will pay to the underwriters.

 The
ordinary shares subject to redemption were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of
the Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." In such case, the Company will
proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 upon such consummation of a
Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted
in favor of the Business Combination.

 The
Company has until July 22, 2024 (assuming the Sponsor deposits the required amount into the Trust Account for each New Additional
Extension Date and unless the Company's shareholders approve one or more further Additional Extensions), to consummate the
initial Business Combination. If the Company has not consummated the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the
Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more
than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest or dividends earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not
previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any (less up to $ 100,000 of interest or dividends to pay winding up
and dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish
public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and
(iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining
shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the
Company's obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable
law.

 F- 8

 On January
18, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to consider and vote upon, among other things, a proposal
to amend the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "First Extension Charter Amendment")
to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination (the "Termination Date") from
January 22, 2023 to April 22, 2023 and (ii) in the event that the Company has not consummated an initial business combination by April
22, 2023, to allow the Company, by resolution of the Company's board of directors (the "Board") and, without any approval
of the Company's shareholders, upon five days' advance notice prior to each Additional Extension, to extend the Termination
Date up to six times (with each such extension being upon five days' advance notice), each by one additional month (for a total
of up to six additional months to complete a business combination) (each, an "Additional Extension" and such date, the "Additional
Extension Date"), provided that the Sponsor or the Sponsor's affiliates or permitted designees will deposit into the Trust
Account for each Additional Extension Date the lesser of (a) $ 140,000 or (b) $ 0.04 for each public share that is then-outstanding, in
exchange for one or more non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor or the Sponsor's
affiliates or permitted designees (the "Lenders" and each a "Lender"). In connection with the vote to approve
the First Extension Charter Amendment, the holders of 24,703,445 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their
shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $ 10.35 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $ 255,875,758.

 The
Sponsor and each member of the management team have entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed
to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their
Founder Shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company's amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to
provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business
Combination or to redeem 100 % of the public shares if the Company did not complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months
from the closing of the Public Offering (which was extended pursuant to shareholder approval of the Charter Amendment) or (B) with
respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Company's Class A ordinary shares and (iii) waive
their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails
to consummate an initial Business Combination within Combination Period.

 The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company
if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company (other than the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm), or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a
transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual
amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $ 10.00 per public
share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account, in each case net of the interest or dividends that may be withdrawn to pay
the Company's income tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective
target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under
the Company's indemnity of the underwriters of the Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable
against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. However, the Company
has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor
has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believe that the Sponsor's only assets are securities
of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company's
officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective
target businesses.

 On
October 20, 2023, at the Company's extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders approved, among other proposals, (i) (a)
the extension (such proposal, the "Extension Proposal") of the time period the Company has to complete an initial
Business Combination from October 22, 2023 to January 22, 2024 (the "Charter Amendment") and (b) in the event that the
Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by January 22, 2024, to allow the Company, by resolution of the Board
and, without any approval of the Company's shareholders, upon five days' advance notice prior to each Additional
Extension, to complete six Additional Extensions, provided that the Sponsor or the Sponsor's affiliates or permitted designees
will deposit into the Trust Account for each Additional Extension Date the lesser of (x) $ 35,000 or (y) $ 0.0175 for each public
share that is then-outstanding, in exchange for one or more non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes issued by a Lender, and
(ii) the amendment of the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to change certain provisions
which restrict the Class B ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001, of the Company (the "Class B ordinary shares") from
converting to Class A ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 (the "Class A ordinary shares") prior to the consummation of an
initial Business Combination (such proposal, the "Conversion Proposal"). As of the date of filing this report, the
Company has deposited the requisite amounts into the Trust Account for each Additional Extension Date until March 22, 2024.

 F- 9

 Additionally, the shareholders approved a proposal to amend,
by special resolution, the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to change certain provisions which
restrict the Class B ordinary shares from converting to Class A ordinary shares prior to the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

 In connection with the vote to approve the above proposals,
the holders of 1,488,000 Class A ordinary shares of ESGEN exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price
of approximately $ 11.21 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $ 16,679,055.

 In
connection with the approval of the Extension Proposal at the Meeting and the adoption of the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor
contributed into the Trust Account $ 0.0525 per share for each Class A ordinary share that was not redeemed at the Meeting, for an
aggregate contribution of $ 73,949.

 In
connection with the approval of the Conversion Proposal at the Meeting and the adoption of the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor
converted all of its 5,619,077 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares. As a result of the Sponsor Share Conversion and
redemptions made in connection with the Extension Proposal and Conversion Proposal, 7,027,632 Class A ordinary shares remain
outstanding. Notwithstanding the Sponsor Share Conversion, the Sponsor will be not entitled to receive any funds held in the Trust
Account with respect to any Class A ordinary shares issued to the Sponsor as a result of the Sponsor Share Conversion and no
additional amounts will be deposited into the Trust Account in respect of shares of Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor in
connection with the extension of the Termination Date to the Extended Date or any Additional Extension Dates.

 On October 16, 2023 (the "Compliance Date"), the
Company was notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Nasdaq") that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum
number of round lot holders required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the "Round Lot Requirement"). The
Company has until April 15, 2024 to comply with the Round Lot Requirement. If ESGEN does not regain compliance with the Round Lot Requirement
by the Compliance Date, ESGEN will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting, at which time ESGEN may
appeal the Nasdaq's delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel"). There can be no
assurance that ESGEN will be able to regain compliance with the Round Lot Requirement or that any appeal of the Nasdaq's delisting
determination to the Panel would be successful.

 Founder Shares

 Founder Shares refers to the Class B ordinary shares (the "Founder
Shares") acquired by the initial shareholders prior to the Company's IPO.

 The
initial shareholders and each member of the management team have entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they
have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with the
completion of the Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in
connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A)
that would modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the
right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Company's public
shares if it does not complete the Business Combination by the Termination Date or (B) with respect to any other provision relating
to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust
Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate an Business Combination by the Termination
Date (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold
if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the prescribed time frame). If the Company seeks shareholder
approval, it will complete the Business Combination only if it is approved by an ordinary resolution or such higher approval
threshold as may be required by Cayman Islands law and pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
In such case, the initial shareholders and each member of the management team have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and public
shares in favor of the Business Combination.

 In
connection with the approval of the Conversion Proposal at the Meeting and the adoption of the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor
converted all of its 5,619,077 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares (the "Sponsor Share Conversion"). As
a result of the Sponsor Share Conversion and redemptions made in connection with the Extension Proposal and Conversion Proposal,
 7,027,632 Class A ordinary shares remain outstanding. Notwithstanding the Sponsor Share Conversion, the Sponsor will be not entitled
to receive any funds held in the Trust Account with respect to any Class A ordinary shares issued to the Sponsor as a result of the
Sponsor Share Conversion and no additional amounts will be deposited into the Trust Account in respect of shares of Class A ordinary
shares held by the Sponsor in connection with the extension of the Termination Date to the Extended Date or any Additional Extension
Dates.

 Risks and Uncertainties

 The credit and financial markets have experienced
extreme volatility and disruptions due to the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The conflict is expected to have further global
economic consequences, including but not limited to the possibility of severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines
in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in inflation rates and uncertainty about economic and political stability.
In addition, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions on Russia which increases the risk that Russia, as a retaliatory
action, may launch cyberattacks against the United States, its government, infrastructure and businesses. Any of the foregoing consequences,
including those we cannot yet predict, may cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and the price of our ordinary
shares to be adversely affected.

 Additionally, recent military conflicts, including
the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, and increased military tensions, may have a material adverse effect on financial
and business conditions. These circumstances could reduce the number of attractive targets for an initial Business Combination, increase
the cost of consummating an initial Business Combination and delay or prevent the Company from completing an initial Business Combination.

 Going Concern

 As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 60,518 in cash held outside
of the Trust Account and owes $ 5,669,349 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $ 2,122,937 to related parties. The Company anticipates
that its cash will not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months from the
issuance of the financial statements. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition
plans and the closing of the business combination described in Note 10. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.

 The Company will seek additional capital through other financing alternatives.
There can be no assurance that new financings or other transactions will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms,
or at all. Should the Company fail to raise additional cash from outside sources, this would have a material adverse impact on its operations.

 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the
normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification
of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going
concern.

 Note 2
— Significant Accounting Policies

 Basis of Presentation

 The accompanying audited financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The
summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements.
Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company's management, who is responsible for their
integrity and objectivity.

 F- 11

 Emerging Growth Company Status

 The Company is an "emerging growth company,"
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"),
and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that
are not emerging growth companies.

 Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts
emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that
is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but
any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison
of the Company's financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
standards used.

 Use of Estimates

 The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible
that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements,
which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly,
the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

 The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents
as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 Marketable Securities and Cash Held in Trust Account

 As of December 31, 2023, investments held in the
Trust Account consisted of interest bearing demand deposits. As of December 31, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust
Account were held in U.S. Money Market Funds. Such investments are presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end
of the reporting period. Interest, dividends, gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these investments are included
in income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of
investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

 Fair Value Measurement

 The fair value of the Company's assets and
liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement," approximates the carrying
amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.

 Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives
the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The Company's financial instruments are classified as either Level
1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:

 Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 F- 12

 Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 Derivative Financial Instruments

 The Company evaluates its financial instruments
to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic
815, "Derivatives and Hedging". The Company's derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet
with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative liabilities are classified on the balance sheets as
current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument is reasonably expected to require the
use of existing resources properly classifiable as current assets, or the creation of other current liabilities.

 Warrant Liabilities

 The Company accounts for the Public and Private
Placement warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815-40 and ASC
Topic 480. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must
be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company will classify each warrant as a liability at its fair value. These liabilities are
subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liabilities will be adjusted to fair
value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company's statements of operations.

 Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share

 The Company has two classes of shares, which are
referred to as redeemable Class A ordinary shares and non-redeemable Class A and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared
pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net (loss) income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income by the
weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. With respect to the accretion of Class A ordinary shares subject
to possible redemption, the Company treated accretion in the same manner as a dividend, paid to the shareholder in the calculation of
the net (loss) income per ordinary share.

 The earnings per share presented in the statement of operations is
based on the following:

 Net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing
net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the
effect of the 27,840,000 ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in the calculation
of diluted (loss) income per share, since the exercise of such warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion
of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

 Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary
shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption
(if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including
shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of
uncertain events not solely within the Company's control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares
are classified as shareholders' equity. The Company's Class A ordinary shares sold in the IPO feature certain redemption rights
that are considered to be outside of the Company's control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.

 The Company has made a policy election in accordance
with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in additional paid-in capital (or accumulated deficit in the absence
of additional paid-in capital) immediately as they occur. The Company recorded accretion of $ 3,066,977 and $ 3,986,568, respectively, in
accumulated deficit for year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. For the period ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded redemption
of $ 272,554,813 and $ 1,116,710 was deposited in the Trust Account for extension funding. For the year ended December 31, 2022 there were
no redemptions or deposits in the Trust Account for extension funding.

 Income Taxes

 ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes", requires
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and
tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards.
ASC Topic 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred
tax assets will not be realized.

 ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold
and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in
a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing
authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 The Company's management determined that
the Cayman Islands is the Company's only major tax jurisdiction. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government
of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income
taxes are not reflected in the Company's financial statements.

 F- 14

 The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits
and no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that
could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 Management does not believe that any other recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.

 Note 3 — Related Party Transactions

 Promissory Notes — Related Party

 On April 27, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan
the Company up to $ 300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Public Offering. The Company borrowed a total of $ 262,268.
This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the closing of the Public Offering. The loan
was to be repaid upon the closing of the Public Offering out of the offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account. In connection with
the closing of the Public Offering, the Company paid down $ 90,922 of the outstanding balance. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company
had $ 171,346 outstanding under the promissory note and as is included on the balance sheet as promissory note—related party. The
Sponsor has agreed to defer repayment of the loan until the close of the Business Combination.

 On April 5, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note (the "Note") in the principal amount of up to $ 1,500,000 to the Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company
from time to time prior to the consummation of the Company's Business Combination. The Note does no t bear interest, matures on the
date of consummation of the Business Combination and is subject to customary events of default.

 On October 17, 2023, ESGEN issued an amended and
restated promissory note (the "October 2023 Promissory Note") in the principal amount of up to $ 2,500,000 to the Sponsor.
The October 2023 Promissory Note amends, restates, replaces and supersedes the Note dated April 5, 2023. The October 2023 Promissory Note
may be drawn down by ESGEN from time to time prior to the consummation of ESGEN's initial Business Combination. The October 2023
Promissory Note does no t bear interest, matures on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and is subject to customary events
of default. The October 2023 Promissory Note, as well as the promissory note issued on April 17, 2021 to the Sponsor ("April 2021
Promissory Note"), will not be repaid and will be cancelled at the closing of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023,
the Company had $ 1,612,398 outstanding under the October 2023 Promissory Note and is included on the balance sheet as promissory note—related
party.

 On January 24, 2024, ESGEN issued a new promissory
note ("January 2024 Promissory Note") in the principal amount of up to $ 750,000 to the Sponsor. The January 2024 Promissory
Note may be drawn down by ESGEN from time to time prior to the consummation of ESGEN's initial Business Combination for specific
uses as designated therein. The January 2024 Promissory Note does no t bear interest, matures on the date of consummation of the Business
Combination and is subject to customary events of default. The principal amount under the January 2024 Promissory Note will be paid at
the closing of the Business Combination from the funds that ESGEN has available to it outside of its Trust Account (See Note 10).

 F- 15

 Due to Related Party

 In the ordinary course of business, the Sponsor
or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors may pay for certain expenses on behalf of the
Company. These amounts paid for on behalf of the Company are due upon demand and are non-interest bearing. At December 31, 2023 and 2022,
$ 75,000 and $ 0, respectively, is included in due to related party on the balance sheet for expenses the Sponsor paid for on behalf of
the company. Including the amounts paid for by the Sponsor and the office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services
(discussed below), the aggregate amount for due to related party on the balance sheet was $ 339,193 and $ 144,193 at December 31, 2023 and
2022, respectively.

 Working Capital Loans

 In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors
may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). If the Company completes
the initial Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to
the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the
initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay
the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of
such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant at
the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company
had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

 Office Space, Secretarial and Administrative Services

 Through the earlier of consummation of the initial
Business Combination and the liquidation, the Company incurs $ 10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative
services provided by the Sponsor. For each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $ 120,000. No amounts have
been paid for these services. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has accrued and reported on the balance sheets $ 264,193 and
$ 144,193, respectively, pursuant to this agreement, and included in "Due to related party".

 Registration and Shareholder Rights

 The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement
Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled
to registration rights pursuant to a registration and expected shareholder rights agreement signed at the closing of our Public Offering.
The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such
securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements
filed subsequent to the Company's completion of its initial Business Combination. However, the registration and expected shareholder
rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective
until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, and (ii) in the case of the private
placement warrants and the respective Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants, 30 days after
the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such
registration statements. The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion
of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Working Capital Loans and warrants that may
be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and expected shareholder
rights agreement signed at the closing of our Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands,
excluding short form demands, that the Company's register such securities.

 In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back"
registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of its initial Business Combination. However,
the registration and expected shareholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed
under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder
Shares, as described in the following paragraph, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A ordinary
shares underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses
incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 Except as described herein, the Sponsor and its
directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earliest of (A) one
year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing
price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 -trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial
Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction
that results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Any permitted transferees would be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor and its directors and executive
officers with respect to any founder shares. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of
the Sponsor with respect to any Founder Shares. The Company refers to such transfer restrictions throughout the Public Offering as the
lock- up.

 F- 17

 In addition, pursuant to the registration and
expected shareholder rights agreement, the Sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial Business Combination, will be entitled
to nominate three individuals for election to the board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration
and expected shareholder rights agreement.

 Underwriting Agreement

 The underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriters
fee of 3.5 % of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering upon the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination. In April
2023, the underwriters waived any right to receive the deferred underwriters fee and will therefore receive no additional underwriters
fee in connection with the Closing. As a result, the Company recognized $ 425,040 of other income on the statement of operations and $ 9,234,960
was recorded to accumulated deficit on the statements of changes in redeemable ordinary shares and shareholders' deficit in relation
to the reduction of the deferred underwriters fee. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the deferred underwriters fee is $ 0 and $ 9,660,000,
respectively.

 To account for the waiver of the deferred underwriters
fee, the Company analogized to the SEC staff's guidance on accounting for reducing a liability for "trailing fees".
Upon the waiver of the deferred underwriters fee, the Company reduced the deferred underwriters fee to $ 0 and reversed the previously
recorded cost of issuing the instruments in the IPO, which included recognizing a contra-expense of $ 425,040, which is the amount previously
allocated to liability classified warrants and expensed upon the IPO, and reduced the accumulated deficit and increased income available
to Class B ordinary shares by $ 9,234,960, which was previously allocated to the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption and accretion
recognized at the IPO date. Additionally, as the amount is a component of accretion of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption,
the Company treated it in the same manner as a dividend paid to the shareholder in the calculation of the net (loss) income per ordinary
share.

 Business Combination

 On April 19, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement, by and among the Company, ESGEN OpCo,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of ESGEN ("OpCo"), Sunergy Renewables, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company ("Sunergy"), the Sunergy equity holders set forth on the signature pages thereto (collectively,
"Sellers" and each, a "Seller", and collectively with Sunergy, the "Sunergy Parties"), for limited
purposes, the Sponsor, and for limited purposes, Timothy Bridgewater, an individual, in his capacity as the Sellers Representative (the
"Business Combination Agreement"). The Company consummated the Business Combination on March 13, 2024 (see Note 10 –
Subsequent Events)

 Note 7 — Warrant Liabilities

 The Company accounts for the 27,840,000 warrants
issued in connection with the IPO ( 13,800,000 Public Warrants and 14,040,000 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance
contained in ASC Topic 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder,
each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This
liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date.

 With each such remeasurement, the warrant liabilities
will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company's statements of operations.

 F- 18

 Public Warrants

 Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company
issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the
initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ 9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or
effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company's board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to
the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior
to such issuance) (the "Newly Issued Price"), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60 %
of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation
of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares
during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination
(such price, the "Market Value") is below $ 9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest
cent) to be equal to 115 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger price
described adjacent to "Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $ 18.00 " will be
adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $ 10.00 per share
redemption trigger price described adjacent to the caption "Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals
or exceeds $ 10.00 " will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

 The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after
the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Company's
initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 The
Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business
Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part or a new registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary
shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become
effective within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration
statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in
the warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national
securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities
Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a "cashless basis"
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain
in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under
applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The "fair market value" as used in this paragraph shall
mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date
on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders
may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain
an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act or another exemption, but it will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue
sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants
for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number
of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the "fair market value" (defined below) less
the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361. The "fair market value" as used in this paragraph
shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to
the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

 Redemption of warrants when the price per Class
A ordinary share equals or exceeds $ 18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem not less than all of the outstanding
warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

 in whole and not in part;

 at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant;

 upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

 F- 19

 if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading "Description of Securities— Warrants—Public Shareholders' Warrants—Anti-dilution Adjustments") for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 Redemption of warrants when the price per Class
A ordinary share equals or exceeds $ 10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem not less than all of the outstanding
warrants:

 in whole and not in part;

 at $ 0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption; and

 if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 10.00 per public share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading "Description of Securities— Warrants—Public Shareholders' Warrants—Anti-dilution Adjustments") for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders;

 Private Warrants

 If the Private Placement Warrants are held by
holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption
scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the Public Offering. Any amendment
to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the Private Placement Warrants
will require a vote of holders of at least 50 % of the number of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants.

 The accounting treatment of derivative financial
instruments requires that the Company record a derivative liability upon the closing of the IPO. Accordingly, the Company has classified
each warrant as a liability at its fair value and the warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units
equal to its fair value. These liabilities are subject tore-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the
warrant liabilities will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company's statement of operations.
The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the
period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

 Note 8 — Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, marketable securities
and cash held in Trust Account are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

 The Company's Public Warrants are traded
on the Nasdaq. As such, the Public Warrant valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the Company has the ability to access. The fair value of the Public Warrant liabilities is classified within Level 1 of the fair
value hierarchy.

 At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company considers
the Private Warrants to be economically equivalent to the Public Warrants. As such, the valuation of the Public Warrants was used to value
the Private Warrants. The fair value of the Private Warrant liabilities is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 The following tables presents fair value information
as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring
basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

 Note 9 — Shareholders' Deficit

 Preference shares— The Company is authorized
to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 and with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as
may be determined from time to time by the Company's board of directors. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no preference
shares issued or outstanding.

 Class A ordinary shares— The Company is
authorized to issue 250,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there
were 5,619,077 and 0 Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding other than the 1,408,555 and 27,600,000 Class A ordinary shares subject
to possible redemption that are accounted for outside of the shareholders' deficit section of the balance sheets, respectively.

 In connection with the approval of the Conversion
Proposal at the October 20, 2023 shareholder meeting and the adoption of the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor converted all of its 5,619,077
Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares. As a result of the Sponsor Share Conversion and redemptions made in connection with
the Extension Proposal and Conversion Proposal, 1,408,555 and 5,619,077 redeemable Class A ordinary shares and non-redeemable Class A
ordinary shares, respectively, remain outstanding. Notwithstanding the Sponsor Share Conversion, the Sponsor will be not entitled to receive
any funds held in the Trust Account with respect to any Class A ordinary shares issued to the Sponsor as a result of the Sponsor Share
Conversion and no additional amounts will be deposited into the Trust Account in respect of shares of Class A ordinary shares held by
the Sponsor in connection with the extension of the Termination Date to the Extended Date or any Additional Extension Dates.

 Class B ordinary shares— The Company is
authorized to issue 25,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders are entitled to one vote for each
share of Class B ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 1,280,923 and 6,900,000 Class B ordinary shares issued
and outstanding, respectively.

 Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders
of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders
except as required by law. Unless specified in the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or as
required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's
ordinary shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by its shareholders.

 The Class B ordinary shares will automatically
convert into Class A ordinary shares (which such Class A ordinary shares delivered upon conversion will not have any redemption rights
or be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to consummate an initial Business Combination)
at the time of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class
A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20 % of the sum
of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Public Offering, plus (ii) the total number of
Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued
or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding
any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued,
or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, any of its
affiliates or any members of the Company's management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans. In no event will the Class
B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one.

 This is different than some other similarly structured
blank check companies in which the initial shareholders will only be issued an aggregate of 20 % of the total number of shares to be outstanding
prior to the initial Business Combination.

 F- 21

 Note 10 — Subsequent Events

 On each of January 18, 2024 and February 16, 2024,
the Company deposited $ 24,650 into the Trust Account in connection with Additional Extensions.

Sponsor pursuant to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement (as defined below);

 (iv) forfeiture of an aggregate
of 2.9 million founder shares and an additional 500,000 founder shares if, within two years of closing of the Business Combination (the

years after the Closing);

 (v) forfeiture of all private
warrants to purchase one ESGEN Class A ordinary share, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of ESGEN ("ESGEN Private Placement Warrants");

 (vi) Sponsor will contribute
those certain promissory notes, dated as of April 27, 2021 and October 17, 2023 (which promissory note amended and restated that certain
promissory note dated as of April 5, 2023), by and between Sponsor and ESGEN, to ESGEN as a contribution to the capital of ESGEN and all
amounts due thereunder will be cancelled; and

 (vii) the outside date for
the Business Combination to be extended to April 22, 2024.

 Non-redemption Agreement

 On March 11, 2024, ESGEN,
entered into a non-redemption agreement (the "Non-Redemption Agreement") with The K2 Principal Fund L.P.
("K2"), pursuant to which K2 agreed (i) to purchase at least 174,826 of ESGEN's Class A ordinary shares, par
value $ 0.0001 per share (the "Class A ordinary shares"), in the open market from investors who had elected to redeem
such shares in connection with the Company's extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held to approve the proposed Business
Combination Agreement.

 In exchange for the foregoing
commitments to purchase and not redeem such Class A ordinary shares, ESGEN agreed to issue, for no consideration an aggregate of
 225,174 shares of Class A common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of Zeo Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation and the successor
to ESGEN following the close of the Business Combination Agreement.

 F- 22

 Business Combination

 On March 13, 2024 (the "Closing Date"),
the registrant consummated its previously announced business combination (the "Closing"), pursuant to that certain Business
Combination Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2023 (as amended on January 24, 2024, the "Business Combination Agreement"),
by and among Zeo Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a ESGEN Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company), ESGEN
OpCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company("OpCo"), Sunergy Renewables, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Sunergy"),
the Sunergy equityholders set forth on the signature pages thereto or joined thereto (collectively, "Sellers" and each, a
"Seller", and collectively with Sunergy, the "Sunergy Parties"), for limited purposes, ESGEN LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Sponsor"), and for limited purposes, Timothy Bridgewater, an individual, in his capacity as the Sellers
Representative (collectively, the "Business Combination"). Prior to the Closing, (i) except as otherwise specified in the
Business Combination Agreement, each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of ESGEN was converted into one Class A ordinary share
of ESGEN (the "ESGEN Class A Ordinary Shares" and such conversion, the "ESGEN Share Conversion"); and (ii) ESGEN
was domesticated into the State of Delaware so as to become a Delaware corporation (the "Domestication"). In connection with
the Closing, the registrant changed its name from "ESGEN Acquisition Corporation" to "Zeo Energy Corp."

 In connection with entering into the Business
Combination Agreement, ESGEN and the Sponsor entered into a subscription agreement, dated April 19, 2023, which ESGEN, the Sponsor and
OpCo subsequently amended and restated on January 24, 2024 (the "Sponsor Subscription Agreement"), pursuant to which, among
other things, the Sponsor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 preferred units of OpCo ("Convertible OpCo Preferred Units")
convertible into Exchangeable OpCo Unites (as defined below) (and be issued an equal number of shares of Zeo Class V Common Stock) concurrently
with the Closing at a cash purchase price of $ 10.00 per unit and up to an additional 500,000 Convertible OpCo Preferred Units (together
with the concurrent issuance of an equal number of shares of Zeo Class V Common Stock) during the six months after Closing if called
for by Zeo. Prior to the Closing, ESGEN informed the Sponsor that it wished to call for the additional 500,000 Convertible OpCo Preferred
Units at the Closing and, as a result, a total of 1,500,00 Convertible OpCo Preferred Units and an equal number of shares of Zeo Class
V Common Stock were issued to Sponsor pursuant to the Sponsor Subscription Agreement for aggregate consideration of $ 15,000,000.
