Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 27, 2026, NeoVolta,
Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Lake Street Capital
Markets, LLC (“Lake Street”), as representative of the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the
“Underwriters”), pursuant to which, on May 29, 2026, we issued and sold in an underwritten public offering of 12,195,122 shares
(the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a
public offering price of $2.05 per share (the “Offering”). The Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase
up to an additional 1,829,268 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares,” and together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”)
at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions.
The net proceeds to the Company
from the Offering were approximately $23.5 million (excluding any exercise of the overallotment option), after deducting estimated offering
expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering and from any sale of the Option Shares, if the option is exercised,
to fund its joint venture obligations and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The offer of the Shares was
made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-280400), which was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 21, 2024 and subsequently declared effective on June 28, 2024 (the “Registration
Statement”), and the base prospectus contained therein, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on May 28,
2026.
Under the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement, the Underwriters will receive an underwriting discount equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the sale of the Shares
(or $0.123 per Share). In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Underwriters for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses, including the fees and expenses of outside legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed $100,000. Pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement, the Company also agreed not to, subject to certain exceptions, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock
or securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock, including but not limited to any shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to any
“at-the-market” offering agreement, for a period of sixty days after May 27, 2026. In addition, the Company’s executive
officers and directors entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of
Common Stock and securities convertible or exercisable for shares of Common Stock for a period beginning May 27, 2026 and ending sixty
days after the closing of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions.
The representations, warranties
and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto and may be subject to limitations
agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Underwriting Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors
with information regarding the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding
the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other
filings with the SEC.
The foregoing description
of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement,
a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

all references to the Underwriters shall be deemed to refer only to such sole Underwriter, and all corresponding changes in this Agreement

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company.
(i)
Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as disclosed in or contemplated
by the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, the Company represents and warrants to the several Underwriters,
as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date (as defined below), and agrees with the several Underwriters, that:

and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”). The Registration Statement
and any post-effective amendment thereto, each in the form heretofore delivered to you, and, excluding exhibits thereto, to you for each

of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations. The proposed offering of the Securities may be made pursuant to General Instruction
I.B.1 of Form S-3. Other than (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) a registration statement, if any, increasing the size of the offering

Act”), and incorporated by reference in such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be. Any reference to

Statement shall be deemed to refer to and include the date such Registration Statement became effective and, if later, the date such Form
10-K was so filed. Any reference to any amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to refer to and include any annual report
of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement.

markets; (b) general conditions in the industry or any industry sector in which the Company operates or participates; (c) any natural
disaster or any national or international political or social conditions or any act of terrorism, sabotage, military action or war or

of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except: (i) as such enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; (ii) as enforceability
of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws; and (iii) that the remedy
of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion
of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; and, except as described or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure
Package, the issuance of the Securities is not subject to any preemptive or similar rights that have not been waived or satisfied. The
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Optional Pre-Funded Warrant Shares have been duly and validly authorized and, when issued in accordance
with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Optional Pre-Funded Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will

Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrants and Optional Pre-Funded Warrants.
(l)
Capitalization. The Company has an authorized capitalization as described or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, and all of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company, including the
Firm Stock and Optional Stock, have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, have been issued in
material compliance with federal and state securities laws, and conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained
or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. All of the Company’s options, warrants and other
rights to purchase or exchange any securities for shares of the Company’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued
and were issued in material compliance with federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were issued
in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the
Company that have not been waived or satisfied. As of the date set forth in the General Disclosure Package, there were no authorized or

to the exercise of warrants or upon the exercise of stock options or other awards outstanding under the Company’s stock option plans,
options or other securities granted or issued pursuant to the Company’s existing equity compensation plans or other plans, and the

other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights granted thereunder, as described or incorporated by reference in the
General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, accurately and fairly present the information required to be shown with respect to such
plans, arrangements, options and rights.
(m)
Capitalization of Subsidiaries. All the outstanding shares of capital stock (if any) of each Subsidiary of the Company have
been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and, except to the extent set forth in the General Disclosure
Package or the Prospectus, are owned by the Company directly or indirectly through one or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries, free and clear

that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business.
(hh)

permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is

no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (B) no change in
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company and its subsidiaries in reports that
they file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s
management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures. The Company and its subsidiaries have conducted evaluations of the effectiveness

with any person (other than this Agreement) that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the

or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus.

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Securities.
On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth,
the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the
respective numbers of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule A hereto.
The purchase price per share
to be paid by the Underwriters to the Company for the Firm Stock and Optional Stock will be $1.927 per share (the “Share Purchase
Price”). The purchase price per Firm Pre-Funded Warrant and Optional Pre-Funded Warrant to be paid by the Underwriters to
the Company will be $1.926 (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Purchase Price”).
The Company will deliver the
Firm Stock to the Representative for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, through the facilities of The Depository Trust
Company, issued in such names and in such denominations as the Representative may direct by notice in writing to the Company given at
or prior to 12:00 Noon, New York time, on the first (1st) full business day preceding the Closing Date, against payment of
the aggregate Share Purchase Price therefor by wire transfer in federal (same day) funds to an account at a bank specified by the Company
payable to the order of the Company. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified pursuant to this Agreement
is a further condition of the obligations of each Underwriter hereunder. The delivery and closing shall occur on or about 12:00 P.M.,
New York time, on May 29, 2026, in accordance with Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act. The time and date of such payment and delivery are
herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Closing Date and the location of delivery of, and the form of
payment for, the Firm Securities may be varied by agreement between the Company and the Representative.
The Underwriters may purchase
all or less than all of the Optional Securities. The price per share of Optional Stock and Optional Pre-Funded Warrant to be paid for
the Optional Stock and/or Optional Pre-Funded Warrant shall be the Share Purchase Price and/or the Pre-Funded Warrant Purchase Price,
as applicable. The Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the number of Optional Securities specified in the written notice delivered
by the Representative to the Company described below and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase such Optional
Securities. Such Optional Securities shall be purchased from the Company for the account of each Underwriter in the same proportion as
the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name on Schedule A bears to the total number of Firm
Securities (subject to adjustment by the Representative to eliminate fractions). The option granted hereby may be exercised as to all
or any part of the Optional Securities at any time, and from time to time; provided, however, that notice of such exercise
must be delivered not more than thirty (30) days subsequent to the date of this Agreement. No Optional Securities shall be sold and delivered
unless the Firm Securities previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The right to purchase the Optional Securities
or any portion thereof may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by the Representative to the Company.
The option granted hereby
shall be exercised by written notice being given to the Company by the Representative setting forth the number of Optional Securities
to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date and time for delivery of and payment for the Optional Securities. Each date and time
for delivery of and payment for the Optional Securities (which may be the Closing Date, but not earlier) is herein called the “Option
Closing Date” and shall in no event be earlier than one (1) business day nor later than five (5) business days after written
notice is given. The Option Closing Date and the Closing Date are herein called the “Closing Dates.”
The Company will deliver the
Optional Stock to the Representative for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters through the facilities of The Depository
Trust Company, issued in such names and in such denominations as the Representative may direct by notice in writing to the Company given
at or prior to 12:00 Noon, New York time, on the first (1st) full business day preceding the Option Closing Date, against payment
of the aggregate Share Purchase Price therefor by wire transfer in federal (same day) funds to an account at a bank acceptable to the
Representative payable to the order of the Company. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified pursuant
to this Agreement is a further condition of the obligations of each Underwriter hereunder. The Option Closing Date and the location of
delivery of, and the form of payment for, the Optional Securities may be varied by agreement between the Company and the Representative.

4. Further Agreements of the Company.
(i)
The Company agrees with the several Underwriters:
(a)
Required Filings; Amendments or Supplements; Notice to the Representative. During
the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the Option Closing Date or such date, as in the opinion of counsel
for the Underwriters, the Prospectus is no longer required by law to be delivered (assuming the absence of Rule 172 under the Securities
Act), in connection with sales by an Underwriter or a dealer (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), prior
to amending or supplementing the Registration Statement (including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement), the General Disclosure Package
or the Prospectus, the Company shall furnish to the Underwriters for review a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement, and
the Company shall not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Underwriters or counsel to the Underwriters reasonably
object. Subject to this Section 4(i)(a), immediately following execution of this Agreement, the Company will prepare the Prospectus
containing the Rule 430B Information and other selling terms of the Securities, the plan of distribution thereof and such other information
as may be required by the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations or as the Underwriters and the Company may deem appropriate, and
if requested by the Underwriters, an issuer free writing prospectus containing the selling terms of the Securities and such other information
as the Company and the Underwriters may deem appropriate, and will file or transmit for filing with the Commission, in accordance with
Rule 424(b) or Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations, as the case may be, copies of the Prospectus and each issuer free writing prospectus.
13
(b)
Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representative,
and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representative, it has not
made and will not make (other than a filing pursuant to Section 4(i)(a) hereof) any offer relating to the Securities that
would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations unless the prior written
consent of the Representative has been received (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided
that the prior written consent of the Representative hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses
included in Schedule B hereto. The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the Rules and Regulations applicable
to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including the requirements relating to timely filing with the Commission, legending and record
keeping and will not take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that such Underwriter
otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.
(c)
Ongoing Compliance.
(A) During
the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as now and hereafter
amended, and by the Rules and Regulations, as from time to time in force, and by the Exchange Act so far as necessary to permit the continuance
of sales of or dealings in the Securities as contemplated by the provisions hereof, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus (or if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers,
the General Disclosure Package) would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary or appropriate
in the opinion of the Company or its counsel or the Underwriters or counsel to the Underwriters to amend the Registration Statement or
supplement the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the General Disclosure Package) to comply
with the Securities Act or to file under the Exchange Act any document which would be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus
(or if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the General Disclosure Package) in order to comply with the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act, the Company promptly will (x) notify you of such untrue statement or omission, (y) amend the Registration
Statement or supplement the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the General Disclosure Package)
or file such document (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, and (z) notify
you when any amendment to the Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective or when any supplement to the Prospectus (or, if the
Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the General Disclosure Package) is filed.
(B) During the Prospectus
Delivery Period, if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development
as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration
Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or included or would include, when taken together with the General Disclosure
Package, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company (x) has promptly notified
or promptly will notify the Underwriters of such conflict, untrue statement or omission, (y) has promptly amended or will promptly
amend or supplement, at its own expense, such issuer free writing prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or
omission, and (z) has notified or promptly will notify you when such amendment or supplement was or is filed with the Commission
where so required to be filed.

shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available under this Agreement, at law or in equity to any Underwriter Indemnified
Party.
(b)
Indemnification of Company by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Company and its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the “Company Indemnified Parties”
and each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability whatsoever (or
any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Company Indemnified Party may become subject,
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding arises
out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus,
any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the
Rules and Regulations, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated
by reference therein, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus,
any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations, the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein, a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representative by or on behalf
of that Underwriter specifically for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Underwriters’ Information,
and shall reimburse the Company Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred. This indemnity agreement is not exclusive
and will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies which
may otherwise be available under this Agreement, at law or in equity to the Company Indemnified Parties.
20
(c)
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify such indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying
party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially
prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve
it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such action shall be
brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense
of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which counsel shall not, except with the written consent
of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party). After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of
its election to assume the defense of such action, except as provided herein, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified
party under Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
of such action other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense of such action but the fees and expenses
of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 7(a)
or the Representative in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 7(b), (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available
to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of the action or the indemnifying
party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying
party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not
have the right to assume the defense of (or, in the case of a failure to diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense,
to continue to defend) such action on behalf of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall be responsible for legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action; provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions
in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses
of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties (in addition to any local counsel), which firm
shall be designated in writing by the Representative if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Underwriter
Indemnified Party or by the Company if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Company Indemnified Parties.
Subject to this Section 7(c), the amount payable by an indemnifying party under Section 7 shall include, but not be limited
to, (x) reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to
defend or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any action,
investigation, proceeding or claim, and (y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing. No indemnifying party shall, without
the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or compromise
or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification
or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto),
unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as
to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Subject to the provisions of the
following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that
is effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its written
consent, if its consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such matter, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. In addition, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature
contemplated by Section 7(a) or 7(b) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than
forty-five (45) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have
received notice of the terms of such settlement at least thirty (30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
21
(d)
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
under Section 7(a) or 7(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute
to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability
(or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities, or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 7(d) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) of this Section 7(d) but also the relative fault
of the Company, on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which
resulted in such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof) as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities
purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriters with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on
the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent
of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission,
act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company through the
Representative by or on behalf of the Underwriters for use in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein, consists solely of the Underwriters’ Information.
(e)
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to Section 7(d)
above were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to Section 7(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim,
damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to in Section 7(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating,
preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with,
any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter
has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged
act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations and not joint.
8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by
the Representative by notice to the Company (a) at any time prior to the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date (if different from the
Closing Date and then only as to the Optional Securities) if, prior to the applicable date, any of the events described in Section
6(i), 6(j) or 6(k) shall have occurred, or (b) as provided in Section 10 of this Agreement.
22
9. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8 or 10,
(b) the Company shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason not permitted under this Agreement,
(c) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement or (d) the sale of the Securities
is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth herein is not satisfied or because of the refusal,
inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply with the provisions
hereof, then in addition to the payment of amounts in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for
the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Underwriters’ counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have
been actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon
demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representative; provided that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant
to Section 10 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting
Underwriter on account of expenses to the extent incurred by such defaulting Underwriter, provided further that the foregoing shall
not limit any reimbursement obligation of the Company to any non-defaulting Underwriter under this Section 9.
10. Substitution of Underwriters. If any Underwriter
or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder on any Closing Date and the aggregate number
of shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total
number of shares to be purchased by all Underwriters on such Closing Date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion
to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed
to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall so default and the aggregate number of shares with respect
to which such default or defaults occur is more than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares to be purchased by all Underwriters
on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Company for the purchase of such shares by other persons
are not made within forty-eight (48) hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate.
If the remaining Underwriters
or substituted Underwriters are required hereby or agree to take up all or part of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
on such Closing Date as provided in this Section 10, (i) the Company shall have the right to postpone such Closing Date for
a period of not more than five (5) full business days in order that the Company may effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary
in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees promptly to file any
amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary, and (ii) the respective
numbers of Securities to be purchased by the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall be taken as the basis of their underwriting
obligation for all purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability to the
Company or the other Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except that the representations,
warranties, covenants, indemnities, agreements and other statements set forth in Section 2, the obligations with respect to expenses
to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Sections 5 and 9 and the provisions of Section 7 and Sections 11 through
22, inclusive, shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect.
11. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that:
(a) each
Underwriter’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature, the Representative and the Underwriters have been retained
solely to act as underwriters in connection with the sale of the Securities and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between
the Company and the Representative have been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective
of whether the Representative has advised or is advising the Company on other matters;
(b) the
price of the Securities set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations
with the Representative, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
23
(c) it
has been advised that the Representative and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that
differ from those of the Company and that the Representative has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company
by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and
(d) it
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Representative for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged
breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Representative shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect
of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders,
employees or creditors of the Company.
12. Successors; Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the several Underwriters, the Company, and their respective successors
and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons
mentioned in the preceding sentence, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions
herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit
of such persons and for the benefit of no other person; except that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities
of the Company, contained in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties, and the indemnities
of the several Underwriters shall be for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties. It is understood that each Underwriter’s
responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature and the Underwriters do not owe the Company, or any other party, any fiduciary
duty as a result of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor or assign
by reason merely of such purchase.
13. Survival of Indemnities, Representations, Warranties, etc.
The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, and the several
Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any person controlling any of them and
shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, including without limitation
any termination pursuant to Section 8 or Section 10, the indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties
and other statements forth in Sections 2, 5, 7 and 9 and Sections 11 through 22, inclusive,
of this Agreement shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect at all times.
14. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
(a)
In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,
the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to
the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and
obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)
In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted
to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Board of Directors
NeoVolta, Inc.
12195 Dearborn Place
Poway, CA 92064
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to NeoVolta,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) of
the Company’s prospectus supplement, dated May 28, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), forming part of the registration
statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-280400 (the “Registration Statement”), initially filed by the Company with
the Commission on June 21, 2024, and declared effective on June 28, 2024. The Prospectus Supplement relates to the proposed sale of (i)
up to 12,195,122 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), and (ii) up
to an additional 1,829,268 Shares for which the underwriters have been granted an over-allotment option. The Shares are being sold
to the several underwriters named in, and pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated May 27, 2026, among the Company and such underwriters
(the “Underwriting Agreement”).
In connection with our opinion,
we have examined the Registration Statement, including the exhibits thereto, the Prospectus Supplement and the prospectus included in
the Registration Statement, the Underwriting Agreement, and such other documents, corporate records and instruments, and have examined
such laws and regulations, as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion. In making our examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all
documents submitted to us as copies and the legal capacity of all natural persons. As to matters of fact material to our opinions in this
letter, we have relied on certificates and statements from officers and other employees of the Company, public officials and other appropriate
persons.
Based on the foregoing and subject
to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
1.
The Shares, when issued by the Company against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, will have been duly authorized for issuance by all necessary corporate action by the Company, and will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The foregoing opinions are limited
