RGS Energy Offers Several Ways to Save on the Cost of Electricity
| Solar Energy vs Fossil Fuels | Advantage |
Fuel SourcingFossil fuels must be located, excavated and transported before they can be used. These processes are invasive and detrimental to the land through side effects such as erosion and ecological and geologic instability. Then the deposit or well is depleted. Energy from the sun is infinite and free. It can be harnessed and turned into power anywhere a solar panel can be mounted. |  |
Power GenerationFossil fuels must be burned to produce electricity. Burning them creates unwanted byproducts that can create air and water pollution and release huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. When in use, solar panels produce power without waste or emissions, and do so through a natural process called photovoltaics. | |
Cost of Consumer ElectricityWhether you buy a system and pay it back with electricity savings or you pay a low, fixed rate for your power through a solar PPA, you’ll hit the point where your solar panels have paid for themselves. After that, it’s real savings for your bottom line, and with utility rates climbing regularly, each year you’ll save more with solar than the year before. | |
The Human ElementFossil fuel deposits are scattered and finite. Their economic worth and uncertainty are enough to cause disagreements that can lead to labor strikes, price volatility, and even war. Solar energy is available nearly everywhere, and will be for another 5 billion years. | |
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.
1978 John Schaeffer invested $3,000 of his savings along with a $5,000 loan from his father to open the first Real Goods store where he sold the first solar panels in retail at over $100/Watt.
1982 First Solar Living Source Book is printed. The book was written as a one-stop information source for renewable energy and sustainable living.
1986 John Schaeffer invested $3,000 to launch the first Real Goods mail order catalog. The 16 page catalog reached new customers and rejuvenated the company as a mail order business selling solar and sustainable living products.
1996 Founded a nonprofit education institute called the Solar Living Institute with the mission of promoting sustainable living through inspirational environmental education.
2001 Real Goods, catalog and five brick and mortar stores merged with the sustainable lifestyle company Gaiam Inc. in a stock swap worth $8.7 million.
2003 Launched the residential division in California and Colorado.
2008 On May 8, 2008, Real Goods completed an initial public offering as Real Goods Solar and raised $55 million. Through holding 100 percent of Real Goods’ Class B shares, Gaiam maintained control of Real Goods Solar.
2007-2008 Acquired Marin Solar, Carlson Solar, IES, Regrid Power to expand the residential and commercial business and position Real Goods Solar as a major competitor in the growing solar business.
2011 Real Goods Solar Merged with Alteris Renewables– became a major national solar company (Alteris was created from the merger of Solar works and Solarwrights in 2008). The Merger severed the Gaiam control.
