Welcome to ABC Real Goods Solar

Thank you for considering ABC Real Goods Solar. We will help you to solarize your home or office using clean, safe, reliable and cost-effective power from the sun.

Let's begin with some great news: Most homes and offices in New York and New Jersey receive plenty of sunshine to effectively power today's solar systems. And, recent rebate programs enacted in New York and New Jersey make these two states among the most attractive in the US for installing a solar system. These programs provide for a rebate (which ABC Real Goods Solar collects on your behalf) of up to 65% of the cost of your system, including installation. If you finance (borrow from a qualified financial institution) your portion of the system costs, in most cases, your financing costs will be the same or lower than what you currently pay for electric power. If you choose not to finance, the energy savings alone will generally allow you to recover your investment in as little as 7-10 years. Learn more about the economic benefits of solar power.

ABC Real Goods Solar is the collaboration of Real Goods and ABC Carpet & Home. Real Goods, a subsidiary of Gaiam, is California's premier solar electric provider. Real Goods has installed over 60,000 solar systems in homes and businesses since 1978. In addition, Real Goods sells thousands of energy efficient products from its catalog (see www.realgoods.com). The Real Goods Solar Living Center in Hopland, California, promotes sustainable living through inspirational environmental education, including extensive workshops on renewable energy, green building, sustainable living, ecological design, permaculture education, and alternative construction methods. Your solar system will be shipped by Real Goods to ABC Solar's warehouse in New Jersey, pending installation at your home or office.

ABC Carpet & Home is a legendary New York City prestige retailer, located in Manhattan and in four other locations in New York and New Jersey.

In a few months, we hope to be able to support the solar aspirations of our Connecticut customers.

We will guide you through every aspect of installation - from selecting the right system for your electric needs to arranging for and overseeing the installation and activation of your new solar system. We collect the rebate directly from your state program, so you only need to pay ABC Real Goods Solar for your portion of the cost. Our thorough process ensures your complete satisfaction while helping you reduce your electric bill and promote a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable energy future for generations to come.
