Return Policy

Regularly stocked, non-special-ordered, and non-custom-built items may be returned to Real Goods within 30 days from the date of purchase. Returned items must be in original condition, in original packaging, and accompanied by all original paperwork and/or instructions. Refunds will be issued in the form of Real Goods Store or RealGoods.com merchandise credit. Returns of solar panels, inverters, and other large ticket items will incur a re-stocking fee of up to 20%.

Special-order items and items returned after 30 days will be accepted at Real Goods' discretion and assessed a 15% - 30% restocking fee if they are accepted. Please call 800-919-2400 before attempting to return these items.

Please use FedEx, UPS, or USPS, with tracking, for returns.

Custom-built items (such as Real Goods Solar PV Kits) are non-returnable.

All freight and shipping charges are non-refundable.

Damaged Shipments

Damage claims not noted on the shipping delivery receipt cannot be made with Real Goods. It is your responsibility to check your shipment. Your signature on a shipping receipt is a legal release of claim for damage unless noted at the time of receipt.

Pricing & Promotions

If you find one of our items for less from a competitor (pre-tax), submit it in writing (shipping quote included) to us by sending a screen shot or scanned copy of the quote to [email protected]. As long as it's above our landed cost, we'll beat it for you.
