About Us

Since 1978, Real Goods has led the Sustainable Living market through sales, education and installation of solar and other renewable energy products. As the original and most experienced solar installer, they are ideally positioned to install solar on your home or business. In fact, there has never been a better time to go solar! Rebates and tax incentives in California have made solar power systems more affordable than ever. Real Goods has grown exponentially over the last year! Recent merges with top local solar installation companies make them one of the largest and best qualified companies, with seven offices in CA and CO.

The Real Goods family of local installers now includes:

The decision to go solar is the first step. Now you must choose an experienced, reliable partner to walk you through the process - from design to installation to rebate paperwork - they are with you every step of the way. They sold the very first solar panel in the US in 1978 and will be here in the decades to come. Real Goods has installed 5,000 homes (and counting) with unparalleled and caring customer service. You receive an instant rebate - no paperwork or waiting for reimbursement-along with their 25+ years of construction experience!
