Selected Installer

Real Goods was founded in 1978 by John Schaeffer based on the desire to provide a comprehensive product suite for the independent, off-the-grid market, sold at fair prices. 1978 was also the year that Real Goods Solar sold the first solar panel in the US. As a collective entity, Real Goods has installed over 4500 system installations in the residential and small commercial space (projects <100kW).
