 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;8.01. Other Events. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;15, 2013, Real Goods Solar, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into an underwriting agreement (the &#147;Underwriting
Agreement&#148;) with Cowen and Company (the &#147;Underwriter&#148;), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriter an aggregate of 5,900,000 units (the &#147;Units&#148;), consisting of (i)&nbsp;one share of the Company&#146;s
Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;), and (ii)&nbsp;one warrant to purchase 0.85 share of Common Stock (the &#147;Warrants&#148;). The Units will be offered to the public at a public offering price of
$3.40 per Unit, the closing market price of the Common Stock on November&nbsp;14, 2013, in an underwritten public offering (the &#147;Offering&#148;). The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issued as part of the Units (the &#147;Common
Shares&#148;) are being issued pursuant to the effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No.&nbsp;333-190050). The shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Underwriter will purchase the Units at a 6% discount to the public offering price for the Units, for an aggregate discount of
approximately $1.2 million. The Company expects that the net proceeds of the Offering will be approximately $18.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company associated with
the Offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $3.41 at any time on or after the one year anniversary of their
original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five and one-half years after the date of their original issuance. If all Warrants are exercised for cash, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $17.0 million.
The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting Common Stock and also upon any distributions of
assets, including cash, stock or other property to the Company&#146; shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has agreed to file a registration
statement covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective prior to the time the Warrants become exercisable and to remain effective through the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the expiration date of
the Warrants and (ii)&nbsp;the date on which all of the Warrants shall have been exercised in full. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a registration statement
registering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, if
the holder, in its sole discretion, elects to exercise a Warrant, the holder shall do so through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the &#147;net number&#148; of shares of Common Stock determined according
to the formula set forth in the Warrant. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Warrants will be issued in physical form separately from the Common Stock included in the
Units and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. The Warrants will not be listed on any national securities exchange or other trading market, and no trading market for the Warrants is expected to develop. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This description of the Offering is a summary only, is not intended to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Underwriting Agreement and the form of Warrant, which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Offering is expected
to close on or about November&nbsp;20, 2013, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;15, 2013, the
Company issued a press release announcing the pricing and terms of the Offering. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, counsel to the Company,
has issued an opinion to the Company, dated November&nbsp;15, 2013, regarding the Shares and Warrants to be sold in the Offering. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. </P>

Agreement") with Cowen and Company (the "Underwriter"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriter an aggregate of 5,900,000 units (the "Units"), consisting of (i) one share of the Company's
Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) one warrant to purchase 0.85 share of Common Stock (the "Warrants"). The Units will be offered to the public at a public offering price of
$3.40 per Unit, the closing market price of the Common Stock on November 14, 2013, in an underwritten public offering (the "Offering"). The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issued as part of the Units (the "Common
Shares") are being issued pursuant to the effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-190050). The shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Underwriter will purchase the Units at a 6% discount to the public offering price for the Units, for an aggregate discount of
approximately $1.2 million. The Company expects that the net proceeds of the Offering will be approximately $18.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company associated with
the Offering.
The Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $3.41 at any time on or after the one year anniversary of their
original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five and one-half years after the date of their original issuance. If all Warrants are exercised for cash, the Company would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $17.0 million.
The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting Common Stock and also upon any distributions of
assets, including cash, stock or other property to the Company' shareholders.
The Company has agreed to file a registration
statement covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective prior to the time the Warrants become exercisable and to remain effective through the earlier of (i) the expiration date of
the Warrants and (ii) the date on which all of the Warrants shall have been exercised in full.
If a registration statement
registering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, if
the holder, in its sole discretion, elects to exercise a Warrant, the holder shall do so through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the "net number" of shares of Common Stock determined according
to the formula set forth in the Warrant.
The Warrants will be issued in physical form separately from the Common Stock included in the
Units and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. The Warrants will not be listed on any national securities exchange or other trading market, and no trading market for the Warrants is expected to develop.
This description of the Offering is a summary only, is not intended to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Underwriting Agreement and the form of Warrant, which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Offering is expected
to close on or about November 20, 2013, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
On November 15, 2013, the
Company issued a press release announcing the pricing and terms of the Offering. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, counsel to the Company,
