For the most part, the kits are designed for those with relatively limited power requirements.<\/p>\n<p>For example, out of their four grid-tied + backup solar power kits, the largest only offers 12kWh worth of storage capacity. While this can be really useful for residential power systems that are primarily designed for emergency backup, it is not quite enough power to convert an entire home over to solar power.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-346498b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"346498b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Product Quality and Pricing:<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12048c51 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12048c51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For the most part, the components within Real Goods Solar\u2019s kits are of a reasonable standard. They carry products from some of the higher-end brands, like Sol-Ark, as well as some of the lower-end brands.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of pricing, the kits are reasonably affordable, but they do not offer the best value on the market. This is down to the fact that most of their kits do not plainly state that they do not include some of the components you are almost required to add. Instead, they list certain items, like mounts and batteries, as optional upgrades, rather than necessary components within a complete solar power system.<\/p>\n<p>If you are just looking at individual components, rather than solar kits, it is possible to find some reasonable deals through Real Goods Solar, however, they are fairly limited when it comes to options. Like you often find with the solar kits they carry, their individual components are limited in terms of their power capabilities. For example, their lithium solar batteries mostly sit under 3.8kWh, so they are not really useful for whole-home backup applications.<\/p>\n<p>With all of that being said, almost everything they sell comes with free shipping, which is a really nice feature. Given that solar equipment can be very heavy and bulky, not having to pay hundreds of dollars in shipping fees for each component can really add up to some hefty savings!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c3d6641 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1c3d6641\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Who Are Real Goods Solar\u2019s Products For?<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20d72b0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"20d72b0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Given that their solar kits are relatively small by the standards of most residential solar power systems, it is fair to say that Real Goods Solar has remained focussed on those that are looking for limited off-grid power in remote areas.

For starters, the fact that they have been in continuous operation since 1978 is incredibly impressive. They have undoubtedly contributed an incredible amount to the solar movement, especially when you consider their advocacy for off-grid living. Their many publications are informative and raise many compelling arguments for the advantages of using solar power systems to live a more independent and sustainable lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of their products and prices, Real Goods Solar stocks high-quality components at prices that we find to be very reasonable. With that being said, they do not offer some of the higher-end equipment that you can find through some of the larger retailers.<\/p>\n<p>They tend to gear their products towards those that are looking for small-scale solar power systems, rather than those with greater power needs. Given that they place such a clear focus on this smaller off-grid and grid-tied systems, we also find it very surprising that they do not carry any solar generators or solar generator kits.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a solar water pump, Real Goods Solar carries plenty of options. Those living off-grid that rely on a well for their water will find these offerings very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, we would certainly recommend browsing the Real Goods Solar online store if you are looking for a small-scale solar kit for your tiny home or cabin, but if you are someone that is looking for a more powerful option for a full-sized home, you may want to look elsewhere. We also recommend taking a look at solar generators from some of the other retailers out there if you are someone that values portability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

This includes everything from mounts and brackets, to solar cables and connectors. Where Real Goods Solar and other retailers often make you add items at an additional cost, when you purchase a solar kit from ShopSolarKits, you know that you will have everything you need to start storing and using solar power.<\/p>\n<p>With that being said, they also sell individual components, so you have the option to upgrade or replace any piece of equipment in your current solar setup.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46ea494 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"46ea494\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why ShopSolarKits?<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ab96c19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2ab96c19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another thing we really like about ShopSolarKits is the fact that they offer true lifetime customer support.
