| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following to be critical accounting policies whose application have a material impact on our reported results of operations, and which involve a higher degree of complexity, as they require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

| Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash and Cash Equivalents There are only cash accounts included in our cash equivalents in these statements. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term securities with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no short-term cash equivalents reported in these financial statements.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fixed Assets Property and equipment are to be stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis according to IRS guidelines over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

| Revenue [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue from sales of solar products, LED lighting, installation services and leasing fees. During the last two fiscal years, the company had product sales as follows:
The Company recognizes product revenue, net of sales discounts, returns and allowances. These statements establish that revenue can be recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, and all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is considered probable.
Our revenue recognition is recorded on the percentage of completion method for sales and installation revenue and on the accrual basis for fees and interest income. We recognize and record income when the customer has a legal obligation to pay. All our revenue streams are acknowledged by written contracts for any of the revenue we record. There are no differences between major classes of customers or customized orders. We record discounts, product returns, rebates and other related accounting issues in the normal business manner and experience very small number of adjustments to our written contractual sales. There are no post-delivery obligations because warranties are maintained by our suppliers. Our lease fees are earned by providing services to contractors for financing of solar systems. Normally we will acquire the promissory note (lease) on a leased system that will provide cash flow for up to 20 years. Interest is recorded on the books when earned on amortized leases.

| Receivable [Policy Text Block] | Accounts Receivable and work-in-progress The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of product to customers and does not make bill-and-hold sales. Contracts spanning reporting periods are recorded on the percentage of completion method, based on the ratio of total costs to total estimated costs by project, for recognition of revenue and expenses. Accounts receivable includes fully completed and partially completed projects and partially billed statements for completed work and product delivery. The Company records a reserve for bad debts in the amount of 2% of earned accounts receivable. When the Company determines that an account is uncollectible, the account is written off against the reserve and the balance to expense. If the reserve is deemed to be inadequate after annual reviews, the reserve will be increased to an adequate level.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Inventory The Company records inventory of construction supplies at cost using the first in first out method. After review of the inventory on an annual basis, the Company discounts all obsolete items to fair market value and has established a valuation reserve of 10% of the inventory at total cost to account for obsolescence. As of December 31, 2019, all inventory was written off resulting in balances on December 31, 2021, of $0 and on December 31, 2020, of $0 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes The Company has net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2021, totaling approximately $5,055,269 net of accrued derivative liabilities and stock-based compensation, which are assumed to be non-tax events. A deferred 21% tax benefit of approximately $1,061,606 has been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount as its realization is not assured. The full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carry-forward depends predominately upon the Company’s ability to generate taxable income during future periods, which is not assured.
The Company files in the US only and is not subject to taxation in any foreign country. There are three open years for which the Internal Revenue Service can examine our tax returns so 2018, 2019 and 2020 are still open years and 2021 will replace 2017 when the tax return is filed.

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Values of Financial Instruments ASC 825 requires the Corporation to disclose estimated fair value for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth as follows for the Corporation’s financial instruments. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, other current assets, payables, accrued expenses and notes payable are reported at cost but approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale date of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the current nature of these instruments. Debt approximates fair value based on interest rates available for similar financial arrangements. Derivative liabilities which have been bifurcated from host convertible debt agreements are presented at fair value. See note 11 for complete derivative and convertible debt disclosure.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Derivative Financial Instruments Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as convertible features in convertible debts or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the binomial option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments, such as warrants, are also valued using the binomial option-pricing model.

| New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Effects of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company has reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and have determined the following have an effect on our financial statements:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block] | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 505 and ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. For employees, the Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant and the probable attainment of a specified performance condition or over a service period.

| Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Per Share Computations Basic net earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding which was 135,505,337 on December 31, 2021 and 8,293,933 on December 31, 2020. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. All shares were considered anti-dilutive on December 31, 2021, and 2020. Potentially dilutive share issues are: 1) all unissued common shares sold, 2) all convertible debentures have a possibility of a large number of shares being issued and would result in a larger number of shares issued if the price remains low, 3) the preferred stock of the company held by insiders is convertible into common shares and the preferred stock is voted on a 20 to 1 basis, 4) all options issued. All of the above are potential dilutive items.
Stock subscriptions executed under an earlier offering included a provision whereby ABCO agrees to pay a dividend (defined as interest) of from 6% to 12% of the total amount invested for a period of one year from receipt of the invested funds. This dividend (defined as interest) is allocated between the broker and the investor with amounts paid to the broker treated as a cost of the offering and netted against additional paid in capital and amounts paid to the investor treated as interest expense. Total amounts paid or accrued under this agreement and charged to additional paid-in capital for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, amounted to $0 and $0, respectively. Total amounts paid under this agreement and charged to interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, amounted to $0 and $0, respectively. The accrued balance due on this obligation to shareholders totals $49,290 on December 31, 2021, and 2020.
ABCO has evaluated these agreements under ASC 480-10: Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity and determined that the capital contributions made under these subscription agreement more closely resemble equity than liabilities as they can only be settled through the issuance of shares and although they have a stated cost associated with them which accrues in the same manner as interest, the cost is only incurred in the first twelve months after placement as is more closely associated with a cost of raising funds than interest expense. |
