More than 35 years ago, RGS Energy - a Real Goods Solar Company - sold some of the very first solar panels to the public out of a small general store in Northern California. Since then, we've installed over 25,000 solar energy systems for homes, businesses, schools, government facilities, and utilities across the country, totaling more than 260 megawatts of clean energy.

Your solar experience is our top priority. We bring a local focus backed by decades of knowledge and experience, and we pride ourselves on acting as a community-minded solar service provider. Our customers are saving thousands on their electricity costs and include Aetna Insurance, Stop & Shop, Timex, St. Louis Housing Authority, Yale University, and homeowners everywhere.

RGS Energy provides small commercial solar energy solutions that allow organizations of all sizes and functions easy access to reduced, fixed energy costs with little or no upfront investment.

Residential

Report

RGS Energy helps homeowners lower their electricity bills with solar power. Going solar locks in a fixed electric rate and reduces the cost of the electricity you buy each month. Most RGS Energy customers pay about 25% less than they were paying their old electric company for traditional power.

We compared several solar companies, but RGS Energy answered all of our questions and concerns and delivered the quote that made the most financial sense for us.

I had bills in the range of $500-$600 just on electrical alone. Now I'm experiencing bills of $90-$100 per month.

RGS Energy made the process completely comfortable by being accommodating and by using a no-pressure approach. We decided on the power purchase agreement and are very excited about the tens of thousands of dollars that we'll be saving over the years to come.

I've noticed our energy bills rising over the the last decade. Since my husband retired, we thought we'd do the smart thing and get solar panels.

We installed a fence around a solar farm in Montpelier, Vermont over 120 days ago and have not been paid for the work. They have been paid by the customer and owe all of the subcontractors on the job a great deal of money.

I had Real Goods Solar (RGS) install a 5kw system on my house in CA 8 years ago. Several months ago I had a problem with one of my panels. I contacted RGS in Louisville CO. to get some help with my problem.

I have had nothing but great service and friendly people at my house putting the Solar Panels on my roof and the Sales people have been very nice and helpful. I have had my Fire Inspection and my County Inspection now I just need to be placed on the grid by PG&E.
