I was an owner builder of my 3300 square foot custom house. The subcontractors ranged from excellent to poor. Lucky for me, the majority of them were good. RGS Energy was among the best of all the contractors I have ever worked with. They were timely, conscientious, friendly, and professional. They met every expectation. Amazing !!! I love my solar system, it has exceeded expectations!!!! Ken Z.

Because of the salesman who is no longer with realgoods it took months for them to start the installation When they finally did start the installation it only took one day to complete Overall i am satisfied with realgoods except for the salesman i dealt with

They came out to determine two different size systems, they figured out the financing, and the installation, and then they did the follow up inspection.  They are very thorough.
