"My wife and I truly enjoy and appreciate the luxury of our PV's as well as helping our Environment. It was a true pleasure working with Ron and Real Goods putting together our Solar needs. Putting solar on our home was a dream come true for us, not only because it saves us money, it helps our carbon footprints. I have been teaching for many years about solar and solar technology. Anyone who wants to put solar on their home is definitely two thumbs up in my book. I am sure your solar technician will share with you the numbers and prove to you what a great investment it will be for you and your family as he did with us."

“We live along the foggy coast of the Pacific. Tom Robinson designed our system to recapture 75-80% of our electricity costs. At last review the system is capturing +85% of costs. Some unanticipated problems arose during installation; Real Goods handled them in a most professional manner. We couldn’t be happier with our solar and highly recommend Real Goods”

~ Tom & Sandra Beyerle, Pacifica, CA

"The $40k I spent on the solar power was a better investment than keeping my money in the stock market."

~ Eric Gold, Mill Valley, CA

"Real Goods and their team did not only a good job but an exceptional one. I am most happy with the job. Thank you!"

~ Robert Navone, Napa, CA

"It's a pleasure watching the meter run backwards!"

~ Peter Sullivan, Larkspur, CA

"If more people know how affordable it really is to but solar panels…more would do it! With New Resource Bank of San Francisco, they will match your loan to the disappearing monthly electric bill. Plus, the state rebate and federal tax deduction lowered the cost."

~ William & Gayle Wilson, Placerville, CA

"Prompt response to questions during and after the installation was much appreciated."

~ Richard Cunningham, Napa, CA

"The sales and installation staff worked overtime to help design a system that would work for us. After we ran into building codes issues with the original location, they quickly revamped the plan to fit relocating it to the main house. It's great to see that meter running backwards! We highly recommend Real Goods Solar."

~ Paul & Diane Thomson, Novato, CA

"Thanks for your prompt attention to replacing our inverter! I returned from Philadelphia last night and noticed this morning it had indeed been replaced (as fast as I hoped- faster than I expected). We very much appreciate your attention to customer needs years after the original sale has been made, Outstanding!!!!!!"

~ Jim & Peggy Phelps

“The entire process of buying a solar system, having it installed and obtaining rebates and permits was effortless. We have not paid for electricity for almost two whole years now! The system is flawless and completely trouble free.”

~ Hans Bos, San Francisco

"Solar makes more sense now than ever. The rebate and tax credit paid for half of our system. We decided to go solar in order to 'walk the EcoTalk'. Real Goods showed us how to do it an economically sensible way. Our garage is now a 3 kilowatt power plant that spins the PG&E meter backwards and will eliminate over 100 tons of greenhouse gas emissions over its life time. Our electric bill has been reduced by more than a typical loan payment for a system this size. We’re saving money and doing something we feel great about. And as electricity rates go up, we’ll save even more. Real Goods provided great service and took care of every detail."

~ Betsy Rosenberg, Host of "EcoTalk" on KCBS Radio, Mill Valley, CA

“Real Goods makes it really simple. You just supply the roof.”

~ Bill & Laurie Wilson, Mill Valley, CA

“I am delighted with my Solar System. Rob Ashmore, who oversaw, arranged and masterminded the project, was amazing. He understood every aspect of finance and installation. He completed the job with efficiency and perfection. My electric bill has been cut by 56% - and it will get better in the spring!”

~ Sally Taylor, Mill Valley, CA

"As a 40 year general building contractor, I could have been the best to work with or the worst. It was all "THE BEST" from sales to the construction crew. The finished job is exactly what I had anticipated. Thanks for a great job!"
