NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held On Wednesday, June 15, 2022

To the Stockholders of Sunworks, Inc.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Sunworks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) will be held at 9:00 a.m. (Mountain Time) on Wednesday, June 15, 2022, or such later date or dates as such Annual Meeting may be adjourned, via a live webcast recorded from 1555 Freedom Boulevard, 200 W, Provo, UT 84604, which can be accessed on the Internet by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SUNW2022, for the purpose of considering and taking action on the following proposals:

	1.	To elect five (5) directors to serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified (“Proposal 1”);

	2.	To ratify the appointment of KMJ Corbin & Company LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 (“Proposal 2”); and

	3.	To transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments thereof.

These matters are more fully described in the proxy statement accompanying this notice.

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on April 18, 2022, as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. A list of stockholders eligible to vote at the meeting will be available for review during our regular business hours at our principal offices in Provo, Utah for the 10 days prior to the meeting for review for any purposes related to the meeting.

After careful consideration, the Board of Directors determined to hold the 2022 Annual Meeting virtually, via a live webcast. Our Board of Directors did not come to this decision lightly. We believe this format is important to protect the health and well-being of our shareholders, employees, directors and communities. While we will miss welcoming our shareholders in person, we have made arrangements to hold an electronic, webcast meeting that will afford shareholders the same rights and access as if the meeting were held in person, including the ability to vote shares and submit questions electronically during the meeting. Further, we will have proper precautions in place to address any technical or logistical issues related to accessing the virtual meeting platform To access the Annual Meeting, you will need a 12-digit control number. The control number is provided on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials you received in the mail, on your proxy card, or through your broker or other nominee if you hold your shares in “street name.” Participants cannot attend the Annual Meeting in person. To assure your representation at the meeting, you are urged to vote by proxy by following the instructions contained in the proxy statement. You may revoke your proxy in the manner described in the proxy statement at any time before it has been voted at the meeting. Any stockholder attending the meeting virtually may vote even if he or she has returned a proxy. Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we hope that you will vote as soon as possible.

We are pleased to utilize the Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow us to furnish these proxy materials (including an electronic proxy card for the meeting and our 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”) to stockholders via the internet. On or about April 29, 2022, we will mail to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement and 2021 10-K and how to vote. Utilizing these rules allows us to lower the cost of delivering annual meeting materials to our stockholders and reduce the environmental impact of printing and mailing these materials.

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR 2022 Annual Meeting OF STOCKHOLDERS

This proxy statement is furnished to stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sunworks, Inc. (“Sunworks”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) in connection with the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company to be held on Wednesday, June 15, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. (Mountain Time) via a live webcast recorded from 1555 Freedom Boulevard, 200 W, Provo, UT 84604, which can be accessed on the Internet by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SUNW2022 (the “Annual Meeting”). Participants cannot attend the Annual Meeting in person.

In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each stockholder of record, we are furnishing proxy materials, including the notice, this proxy statement, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”), including financial statements, and a proxy card for the meeting, by providing access to them on the internet to save printing costs and benefit the environment. These materials will first be available on the internet on or about April 29, 2022. We will mail a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) on or about April 29, 2022 to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of April 18, 2022, the record date for the meeting. This proxy statement and the Notice contain instructions for accessing and reviewing our proxy materials on the internet and for voting by proxy over the internet. If you prefer to receive printed copies of our proxy materials, the Notice contains instructions on how to request the materials by mail. You will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless you request them. If you elect to receive the materials by mail, you may also vote by proxy on the proxy card or voter instruction card that you will receive in response to your request.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT SOLICITATION VOTING AND ATTENDING

Who Can Vote

You are entitled to attend the meeting virtually and vote your common stock electronically if you held shares as of the close of business on April 18, 2022. As of April 18, 2022, there were 32,856,525 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Counting Votes

Consistent with state law and our bylaws, the presence, virtually or by proxy, of at least thirty-three and one third percent (33 ^1/3 %) of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting will constitute a quorum for purposes of voting on a particular matter at the meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at the meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and any adjournment thereof unless a new record date is set for the adjournment. Shares held of record by stockholders or their nominees who do not vote by proxy or attend the meeting virtually will not be considered present or represented and will not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum. Signed proxies that withhold authority or reflect abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. “Broker non-votes” are proxies received from brokerage firms or other nominees holding shares on behalf of their clients who have not been given specific voting instructions from their clients with respect to matters being voted on.

Pursuant to our bylaws, the vote of: (i) a plurality of the shares of common stock present virtually or by proxy and entitled to vote will be required to elect directors; and (ii) a majority of shares of common stock either present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote will be required to ratify the appointment of the independent auditors for 2022. With respect to these votes see “How many votes are needed to approve each Proposal?”

We strongly encourage you to provide instructions to your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee by voting your proxy. This action ensures that your shares will be voted in accordance with your wishes at the meeting.

Attending the virtual Annual Meeting

If you are a holder of record and plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, please visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SUNW2022. To access the Annual Meeting, you will need a 12-digit control number. The control number is provided on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials you received in the mail and on your proxy card. If you are a beneficial owner of common stock held by a bank or broker or other nominee, i.e., in “street name,” please follow the instructions provided to you by that nominee.

SOLICITATION AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

The enclosed proxy for the Annual Meeting is being solicited by the Board. Stockholders of record may vote by mail, telephone, or via the internet. The toll-free telephone number and internet web site are listed on the proxy. If you vote by telephone or via the internet, you do not need to return your proxy card. If you choose to vote by mail, please mark, date and sign the proxy card, and then return the proxy card in the enclosed envelope if you have requested a hard copy (no postage is necessary if mailed within the United States). Any person giving a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof by filing with our Secretary a written revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The proxy may also be revoked by a stockholder attending the Annual Meeting, withdrawing the proxy and voting electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting.

The expense of preparing, printing and mailing the form of proxy and the material used in the solicitation thereof will be borne by us. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by the directors, officers and our regular employees (who will receive no additional compensation therefor) by means of personal interview, telephone or by other means of communication. It is anticipated that banks, brokerage houses and other institutions, custodians, nominees, fiduciaries or other record holders will be requested to forward the soliciting material to persons for whom they hold shares and to seek authority for the execution of proxies; in such cases, we will reimburse such holders for their charges and expenses.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING

Why did I receive these proxy materials?

We are providing this Proxy Statement in connection with the solicitation by the Board of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting, or at any postponements or adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the virtual Annual Meeting to vote electronically on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may vote your shares using one of the other voting methods described in this Proxy Statement.

Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote your shares as soon as possible in order to ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials?

Instead of mailing printed copies to each of our stockholders, we have elected to provide access to the proxy materials over the internet under the SEC’s “notice and access” rules. These rules allow us to make our stockholders aware of the Annual Meeting and the availability of the proxy materials by sending the Notice, which provides instructions on how to access the full set of proxy materials through the internet or make a request to have printed proxy materials delivered by mail. Accordingly, on or about April 29, 2022 we will mail the Notice to each of our stockholders. The Notice contains instructions on how to access the proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and the 2021 10-K, each of which are available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SUNW2022. The Notice also provides instructions on how to vote your shares through the internet, by telephone, by mail or at the Annual Meeting.

What is the purpose of complying with the SEC’s “notice and access” rules?

We believe compliance with the SEC’s “notice and access” rules allows us to provide our stockholders with the materials they need to make informed decisions, while lowering the costs of printing and delivering those materials and reducing the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. However, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice. If you have previously elected to receive the proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive these materials electronically unless you elect otherwise.

Can I access these proxy materials on the internet?

Yes. The Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement, and 2021 10-K, are available for viewing, printing, and downloading at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SUNW2022. Our 2021 10-K is also available under the Company — Investor Relations — Annual Reports section of our website at ir.sunworksusa.com and through the SEC’s EDGAR system at http://www.sec.gov. All materials will remain posted on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SUNW2022 at least until the conclusion of the meeting.

Who can vote at the virtual Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 18, 2022, the record date for the Annual Meeting, will be entitled to vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting. On April 18, 2022, there were 32,856,525 shares of common stock (each entitled to one vote) outstanding.

Stockholder of Record – Shares Registered in Your Name

If on April 18, 2022, your shares of Sunworks, Inc. common stock were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner – Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If on April 18, 2022, your shares of Sunworks, Inc. common stock were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the virtual Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a signed letter or other valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

What proposals am I voting on?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote at the virtual Annual Meeting: (i) to elect five (5) directors to serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) or until their successors are duly elected and qualified; and (ii) to ratify the appointment of KMJ Corbin & Company LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.

The Board does not intend to bring any other matters before the meeting and is not aware of anyone else who will submit any other matters to be voted on. However, if any other matters properly come before the meeting, the people named on the proxy card, or their substitutes, will be authorized to vote on those matters in their own judgment.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of April 18, 2022.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if thirty-three and one third percent (33 ^1/3%) of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote are present at the meeting.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy, have voted via the internet, have voted via telephone or vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, a majority of the votes present at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date.

How do I vote?

The procedures for voting are set forth below:

Stockholder of Record – Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting, vote by proxy using the proxy card, vote via the internet or by telephone. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy, via the internet or by telephone to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the virtual Annual Meeting and vote electronically if you have already voted by proxy, via the internet or by telephone. You may vote as follows:

	●	To vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting, go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SUNW2022 to attend the Annual Meeting and follow the instructions provided on the website. Once you have joined the virtual meeting, you may, just as you would be able to do so in person, vote your shares or submit a question electronically during the meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website.

	●	To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, date and sign the proxy card and return the proxy card promptly in the envelope provided if you have requested a hard copy. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

	●	To vote through the internet, go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SUNW2022 and follow the instructions provided on the website. In order to cast your vote, you will be asked to provide the control number from the Notice or your proxy card. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 14, 2022. Our internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders by using individual control numbers, which are located on the Notice or proxy card.

	●	To vote by phone, call 1-800-690-6903, from any touch-tone telephone and follow the instructions. In order to cast your vote, you will be asked to provide the control number from the Notice or your proxy card. Telephonic voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 14, 2022. Our telephonic voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders by using individual control numbers, which are located on the Notice or proxy card.

Beneficial Owner – Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you hold your shares in “street name” and thus are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you must vote your shares in the manner prescribed by your broker or other nominee. Your broker or other nominee has enclosed or otherwise provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares. Check the voting form used by that organization to see if it offers internet or telephone voting. To vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.

How can I vote my shares?

You may either vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” authority to vote for each nominee for the Board. You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on any of the other Proposals.

If you submit your proxy, vote via the internet or by telephone but abstain from voting or withhold authority to vote on one or more matters, your shares will be counted as present at the meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum. Your shares also will be counted as present at the meeting for the purpose of calculating the vote on the particular matter with respect to which you abstained from voting or withheld authority to vote.

For Proposal 1, an abstention will have no effect on the election of directors. For Proposal 2, if you abstain from voting on a proposal, your abstention has the same effect as a vote against that proposal. See “How many votes are needed to approve each Proposal?”

If you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your brokerage firm, it may still be able to vote your shares with respect to certain “discretionary” (or routine) items, but it will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain “non-discretionary” items. In the case of non-discretionary items, for which no instructions are received, the shares will be treated as “broker non-votes”. Shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted as present at the meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum but will not be considered entitled to vote on the proposal in question. Your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote shares for the election of directors; however, it will have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal relating to the ratification of the appointment of KMJ Corbin & Company LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, if you do not vote your street name shares, your broker has the authority, subject to NYSE guidance, to vote on your behalf with respect to Proposal 2 (the ratification of the selection of the accounting firm).

What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

If you are a stockholder of record and you indicate when voting that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board, or if you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares as recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this proxy statement, and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the nominee that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, the nominee may generally vote in its discretion on “discretionary” matters. However, if the nominee that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a “non-discretionary” matter, it will be unable to vote your shares on that matter. When this occurs, it is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Proposal 1 (election of directors) is considered a “non-discretionary” matter. Proposal 2 (the ratification of the selection of the accounting firm) is considered a “discretionary” matter.

How many votes are needed to approve each Proposal?

Proposal 1: To elect five (5) directors to serve until the 2023 Annual Meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes represented by the shares of common stock present at the meeting virtually or by proxy. This means that the five (5) director nominees with the most affirmative votes will be elected. You may vote “FOR” all of the nominees, “WITHHOLD” your vote from all of the nominees or “WITHHOLD” your vote from any one of the nominees. Withheld votes, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote on this proposal. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote shareholders’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for the election of directors. As a result, any shares not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as a broker non-vote.

Proposal 2: To ratify the appointment of KMJ Corbin & Company LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.

To be approved, the ratification of the appointment of KMJ Corbin & Company LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our 2022 fiscal year must receive “FOR” votes from the holders of a majority of shares of common stock present virtually or by proxy and entitled to vote. If you “ABSTAIN” from voting, it will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote. This is considered a routine matter pursuant to applicable rules. A bank, broker or other nominee may generally vote without instructions on this matter, so we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy, voting via the internet or by telephone?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the virtual Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy in any one of four ways:

	●	You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date;

	●	You may vote again by internet or telephone at a later time (prior to the deadline for internet or telephone voting);

	●	You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to: Corporate Secretary, Sunworks, Inc., 1555 Freedom Boulevard, 200 W, Provo, UT 84604;

	●	You may attend the virtual Annual Meeting and vote electronically. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If you hold your shares in street name, contact your broker or other nominee regarding how to revoke your proxy and change your vote. Your most current internet proxy, telephone proxy or proxy card will be the one that is counted at the Annual Meeting. If you send a written notice of revocation, please make sure to do so with enough time for it to arrive by mail prior to the Annual Meeting.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in our Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, date, sign and return each proxy card, or vote your shares via the internet or by telephone for each proxy card you received to ensure that all your shares are voted.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay all of the costs of soliciting these proxies. In addition to mailed proxy materials, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. We will not pay our directors, officers and employees any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

When are stockholder proposals due for the 2023 Annual Meeting?

Any appropriate proposal submitted by a stockholder and intended to be presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting must be submitted in writing to our Corporate Secretary at 1555 Freedom Boulevard, 200 W, Provo, UT 84604, and received not later than December 30, 2022 to be includable in our proxy statement and related proxy for the 2023 Annual Meeting. However, if the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting is changed by more than 30 days from this year’s meeting then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials.

A stockholder proposal will need to comply with the SEC regulations under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Although the Board will consider stockholder proposals, we reserve the right to omit from our proxy statement stockholder proposals that we are not required to include under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14a-8.

If you are submitting a proposal for a meeting of stockholders other than a regularly scheduled annual meeting, the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials.

Corporate Governance and Related Matters

Board of Directors Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board is responsible for the selection of the Chairperson of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. While management is responsible for managing the day-to-day issues faced by the Company, our Board has an active role, directly and through its committees, in the oversight of the Company’s risk management efforts. The Board carries out this oversight role through several levels of review. The Board regularly reviews and discusses with members of management information regarding the management of risks inherent in the operation of the Company’s business and the implementation of the Company’s strategic plan, including the Company’s risk mitigation efforts.

Each of the Board’s committees also oversees the management of the Company’s risks that are under each committee’s areas of responsibility. For example, the Audit Committee oversees management of accounting, auditing, external reporting, internal controls, and cash investment risks. The Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee oversees the Company’s compliance policies, Code of Conduct and Ethics, conflicts of interests, director independence and corporate governance policies. The Compensation Committee oversees risks arising from compensation practices and policies. While each committee has specific responsibilities for oversight of risk, the Board is regularly informed by each committee about such risks. In this manner, the Board exercises its risk oversight role.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit, and tax fees, typically at the beginning of our fiscal year, all audit, audit related and non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, to be provided by an independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include, among others, audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services and such services are generally subject to a specific budget. During 2021, 97% of all accounting fees incurred were pre-approved by the audit committee. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the full Board of Directors regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. As part of the Board’s review, the Board will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor’s independence from management. At Audit Committee meetings throughout the year, the auditor and management may present subsequent services for approval. Typically, these would be services such as due diligence for an acquisition, that would not have been known at the beginning of the year.

The Audit Committee has considered the provision of non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm to be compatible with maintaining their independence. The audit committee will continue to approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Percentage of Services Approved by Audit Committee

All services were approved by the Audit Committee.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is needed to ratify the appointment of KMJ Corbin & Company LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD FOR PROPOSAL NO. 2:

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KMJ CORBIN & COMPANY LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2022.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sunworks, Inc. (the “Company”) has furnished this report concerning the independent audit of the Company’s financial statements. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the enhanced independence standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rulemaking of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Stock Market regulations. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website at ir.sunworksusa.com.

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board, but management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 with management, including a discussion of any significant changes in the selection or application of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements and the effect of any new accounting initiatives.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with KMJ Corbin & Company LLP, which was responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, its judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards, including Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communication with Audit Committees” of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with KMJ Corbin & Company LLP its independence from management and the Company, has received from KMJ Corbin & Company LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence,” and has considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.

The Audit Committee has met with KMJ Corbin & Company LLP to discuss the overall scope of its services, its evaluation of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. KMJ Corbin & Company LLP, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm during fiscal year 2021, also periodically updates the Audit Committee about new accounting developments and their potential impact on the Company’s reporting. The Audit Committee’s meetings with KMJ Corbin & Company LLP were held with and without management present. Members of the Audit Committee are not employed by the Company, nor does the Audit Committee provide any expert assurance or professional certification regarding the Company’s financial statements. We rely, without independent verification, on the accuracy and integrity of the information provided, and representations made, by management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

The foregoing report has been furnished by the Audit Committee.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND RELATED INFORMATION

The following Executive Compensation and Related Information describes the material elements of compensation for our the Named Executive Officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table, and executive officers that we may hire in the future. As more fully described above, the Compensation Committee is responsible for recommendations relating to compensation of our directors and executive officers.

Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards

Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining, and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance in the future, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our Stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, and each executive’s total compensation package. We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all executives with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and incentive compensation.

The primary purpose of the compensation and benefits described below is to attract, retain, and motivate highly talented individuals who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to succeed in our mission while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace. Different elements are designed to engender different behaviors, and the actual incentive amounts, which may be awarded to each Named Executive Officer, are subject to the annual review of our Board of Directors. The following is a brief description of the key elements of our planned executive compensation structure.

●	Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain employees over time.
●	Incentive compensation awards are designed to focus employees on the business objectives for a particular year.
●	Equity incentive awards, such as stock options and non-vested stock, focus executives’ efforts on the behaviors within the recipients’ control that they believe are designed to ensure our long-term success as reflected in increases to our stock prices over a period of several years, growth in our profitability and other elements.
●	Severance and change in control plans are designed to facilitate a company’s ability to attract and retain executives as we compete for talented employees in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered.

Use of Peer Group

The Compensation Committee uses a customized peer group for benchmarking purposes. The peer group has been revised and/or updated periodically, following recommendations from the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee considered the appropriate peer group in 2021 based on criteria that included industry classification, annual revenue, and market capitalization. Following this review, the Compensation Committee approved the following peer group for 2021 executive compensation benchmarking purposes:

American Superconductor Corporation		LSI Industries, Inc
Argan, Inc		Montauk Renewables, Inc
Bowman Consulting Group, Ltd		Orbital Energy Group, Inc
FuelCell Energy, Inc		Orion Energy Systems, Inc
iSun, Inc		Sunnova Energy International, Inc

The Elements of Sunworks’ Compensation Program

Base Salary

Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution. The Board reviews the base salaries of our executive officers considering factors such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. Additional factors reviewed by our Board of Directors in determining appropriate base salary levels and raises include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our Board of Directors approved all executive officer base salary decisions.

Our Board of Directors determines base salaries for the executive officers annually, and the Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee proposes new base salary amounts, if appropriate, based on its evaluation of individual performance and expected future contributions. We adopted a 401(k) Plan in 2016 and base salary is the only element of compensation that is used in determining the amount of contributions permitted under the 401(k) Plan.

Annual Incentive Compensation Awards

We have in prior years paid discretionary bonuses to our executive officers as approved by our Compensation Committee. Discretionary bonuses for 2021 were earned by Mr. Morris and Mr. Knapp, based on the officers performance and contribution during the fiscal year, notably given the successful integration of Solcius.

In 2021, the Compensation Committee developed a short-term incentive compensation through our annual cash bonus program, the Executive Short-Term Incentive Program (the “STIP”) for executive officers of the Company. The STIP is designed to reward our executive officers for achieving pre-established performance goals. The Compensation Committee administers the STIP, including setting annual incentive goals for performance against both financial targets and key business objectives, and then assessing actual performance against those targets at the end of the incentive period. Under the STIP, each executive officer has an annual target bonus opportunity equal to a fixed percentage of base salary, which takes into account peer group market data and the unique skills and contributions of each individual. The STIP target percentage ranges from a minimum of 30% of base salary for certain executive officers, up to 75% of base salary in the case of Mr. Morris. Actual STIP payouts may range from 0% to 200% of target depending on the level of performance achieved during the year. All payments under the STIP are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

We provide our executive officers with long-term incentive compensation through our Executive Long-Term Incentive Program (the “LTIP”), which is administered under the Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Plan. The LTIP is designed as a long-term incentive vehicle to retain key executive officers, promote higher levels of Company stock ownership by executive officers, and encourage long-term planning by the senior leadership team. The LTIP is intended to deliver market competitive long-term incentive opportunities that encourage the behaviors and long-term perspective necessary for creating stockholder value. The Compensation Committee administers the LTIP, including setting long-term incentive goals based upon corporate performance and determining the threshold, target and maximum payout levels for each plan year. Under the LTIP, each executive officer has a target bonus opportunity based on peer group market data and the unique skills and contributions of each individual.

2021 LTIP Awards

In 2021, Mr. Morris received an LTIP award that is structured 100% in performance based restricted stock units (RSUs) that are tied to the company generating positive EBITDA in 2024. The remaining executive officer LTIP awards were structured as a blend of time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs with a three-year performance period. The value of each individual award was tied to a targeted percentage of the executive’s base salary, with 50% of the total value denominated in time-based RSUs and 50% of the total value denominated in performance-based RSUs. The structure and targets for the performance-based portion of the LTIP awards were focused on the desire to grow revenue and improve cash flow. Consequently, the targets for the 2021 award were linked to revenue and cash flow improvement in the 2024 calendar year. The following table summarizes the awards granted in 2021 to the NEOs under the LTIP, as approved by the Compensation Committee at its December 2021 meeting:

Name	Time Based Shares		Performance Based Shares

Gaylon Morris		-		284,900

Jason Bonfigt		28,329		28,329

Jason Knapp		12,500		12,500

Benefits and Prerequisites

We have limited benefits and perquisites for our employees other than health insurance, 401(k) and vacation benefits that are generally comparable to those offered by other small private and public companies or as may be required by applicable state employment laws. We may confer other fringe benefits for our executive officers in the future if our business grows sufficiently to enable us to afford them.

Employment Agreements and Severance Agreements with Executive Officers

We are party to employment and severance agreements with our Chief Executive Officer, Gaylon Morris; Chief Financial Officer, Jason Bonfigt; and President of Solcius LLC, Jason Knapp. Each agreement provides for certain severance benefits from the Company to the executive in the event that such executive’s employment is terminated:

By us without “cause” (other than due to death or disability) in the absence of a “change in control” of the company (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement); or

By us without “cause” (other than due to death or disability) due to a “change in control.”

These benefits consist primarily of the continuation of the executive’s salary and employment benefits for a specified period of time following employment termination. These periods are as follows: Mr. Morris is entitled to a severance payment equal to his monthly base salary at the time of separation multiplied by twelve (12). Mr. Bonfigt is entitled to a severance payment equal to his monthly base salary at the time of separation multiplied by the number of months of employment, not to exceed six (6) months’ salary. Mr. Knapp is entitled to semi-monthly payments of his monthly base salary at the time of separation for the nine (9) month period following his separation.

The restricted stock awards that we grant to our executive officers provide for full acceleration of vesting upon a change in control of our Company.

The following table describes the value to the named executive officers pursuant to the acceleration of vesting provisions in his restricted stock awards, assuming that a change in control of our company occurred on December 31, 2021. The actual value of such acceleration to each executive listed below can only be determined definitively at the time of an executive’s actual termination.
