____________________________________

This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus, dated August 9, 2024 (as amended or supplemented, the "prospectus"), which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-273820). This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the prospectus with the information contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 16, 2024 (the "Current Report"). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report to this prospectus supplement.

The prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the issuance by us of an aggregate of up to 21,874,907 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "common stock"), which consists of (i) up to 6,266,667 shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants (the "Private Warrants") originally issued in a private placement to Freedom Acquisition I, LLC (the "Sponsor") in connection with the initial public offering of Freedom Acquisition I Corp. ("FACT"), (ii) up to 8,625,000 shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants (the "Public Warrants") originally issued in the initial public offering of FACT, (iii) up to 716,668 shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued to certain selling securityholders in connection with conversion of working capital loans (the "Working Capital Warrants") and (iv) up to 6,266,572 shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued to certain equityholders of Legacy Complete Solaria (as defined herein) received as consideration in connection with the exchange of their capital stock held in Legacy Complete Solaria (the "Merger Warrants" and together with the Private Warrants, Public Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants, the "Warrants"). We will receive the proceeds from any exercise of any Warrants for cash.

The prospectus and this prospectus supplement also relate to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in the prospectus or their permitted transferees (the "selling securityholders") of (i) up to 33,894,518 shares of common stock consisting of (a) up to 7,518,488 shares of common stock issued in connection with private placements pursuant to subscription agreements entered into on or around July 13, 2023, consisting of (1) 1,630,000 shares of common stock issued pursuant to private investment in public equity subscription agreements, issued at $10.00 per share, (2) 270,000 shares of common stock transferred to the selling securityholders by the Sponsor for no consideration and (3) 5,618,488 shares of common stock issued pursuant to forward purchase agreements issued at approximately $10.00 per share (collectively, the "PIPE Shares"), (b) up to 8,625,000 shares of common stock originally issued in a private placement to the Sponsor in connection with the initial public offering of FACT at a price of $0.003 per share, (c) up to 6,266,667 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of common stock, (d) up to 4,501,123 shares of common stock pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, July 18, 2023, between us and the selling securityholders granting such holders registration rights with respect to such shares originally issued at a price of $0.48 per share, (e) up to 716,668 shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of the Working Capital Warrants at a price of $11.50 per share, and (f) up to 6,266,572 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Merger Warrants at a price of $11.50 per share, and (ii) up to 13,249,907 Warrants consisting of (a) up to 6,266,667 Private Warrants, (b) up to 716,668 Working Capital Warrants and (c) up to 6,266,572 Merger Warrants. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock or Warrants by the selling securityholders pursuant to the prospectus and this prospectus supplement.

The selling securityholders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of the securities hereby registered publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales of the shares of common stock or Warrants, except with respect to amounts received by us upon exercise of the Warrants. We believe the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their Warrants and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive is dependent upon the trading price of our common stock. If the trading price for our common stock is less than $11.50 per share, we believe holders of Warrants will be unlikely to exercise these warrants. In addition, to the extent the Warrants are exercised on a "cashless basis," the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the Warrants will decrease. The Private Warrants and Working Capital Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a "cashless basis." The Public Warrants and the Merger Warrants may only be exercised for cash provided there is then an effective registration statement registering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants. If there is not a then-effective registration statement, then such warrants may be exercised on a "cashless basis," pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of these securities, including with regard to compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws. The selling securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of shares of common stock or Warrants. See the section titled "Plan of Distribution."

Our common stock and Warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbols "CSLR" and "CSLRW," respectively. On September 13, 2024, the last reported sales price of our common stock was $2.09 per share and the last reported sales price of our Public Warrants was $0.1378 per warrant.

The number of shares of common stock being offered for resale in the prospectus and this prospectus supplement (the "Resale Securities") exceeds the number of shares of common stock constituting our public float. The Resale Securities represent approximately 408.7% of our public float and approximately 46.6% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of July 16, 2024 (after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants). The sale of the Resale Securities, or the perception that these sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock. Despite a decline in price, our selling securityholders may still experience a positive rate of return on the shares purchased by them due to the lower price per share at which such shares were purchased as referenced above. While these selling securityholders may, on average, experience a positive rate of return based on the current market price, public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the common stock they purchased if there is such a decline in price and due to differences in the purchase prices and the current market price. For example, based on the closing price of $1.48 per share on July 1, 2024, the Sponsor and other selling securityholders may receive potential profits ranging from $1.00 per share up to $1.48 per share.

This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto, which is to be delivered with this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement is qualified by reference to the prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto, except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement updates and supersedes the information contained therein.

This prospectus supplement is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto.

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements. The prospectus and this prospectus supplement comply with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of the prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to the prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Exhibit 99.1

Complete Solar is Winning Bidder

In SunPower Chapter 11 Proceedings

Lehi, Utah (September 16, 2024) - Complete Solar Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Complete Solar ("Complete Solar" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CSLR), a solar technology, services, and installation company, today announced that SunPower (OTC: SPWRQ) has determined Complete Solar to be the prevailing bidder for the assets of SunPower pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement previously filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, subject to the Bankruptcy Court's final approval of the sale at the hearing on September 23, 2024, Complete Solar will acquire the assets of SunPower.

T.J. Rodgers. Complete Solar CEO, said, "Just a week ago, Complete Solar announced it would offer interviews to join the 'New SunPower,' officially Complete Solar, the 'Ark' in the Noah's Ark reverse merger by which the 100-person Complete Solar will hire 1,000 people from the current SunPower family of companies into new jobs with fresh stock option grants. Complete Solar will also begin to manage three SunPower business units, while leaving the rest of the company to complete its bankruptcy process.

Rodgers continued, "When I wrote the invitation to interview to all SunPower family company members, I intentionally mentioned that the 1,000 we hired would have to do the work of 2,000 because we would have a Silicon Valley-style startup work ethic. My intent was to reduce the number of applications to ease our interviewing burden - three interviews for each of 1,000 people requires a team of 30 interviewers to perform 100 interviews each. To my surprise 1,925 employees signed up in just a few hours. With 1,000 hand-picked employee-shareholders, we're going to turn the recent shareholder complaints into at least respect and hopefully praise over the next year."
