Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 1 – Overview and Description of the Company The Company is in the Photo Voltaic (PV) solar systems industry, the LED and energy efficient commercial lighting business and is an electrical product and services supplier. In 2018 ABCO entered the HVAC business with the acquisition of a small company’s assets and qualifying license. The Company plans to establish a base of PV, HVAC, lighting and electrical service operations centers. This combination of services, solar and electric, provides the Company with a solid base in the standard electrical services business and a solid base in the growth markets of solar systems industry. ABCO Energy, Inc. was organized on July 29, 2004, and operated until July 1, 2011, as Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc. (ENYC). On July 1, 2011, ENYC entered into a share exchange agreement (SEA) with ABCO Energy, Inc. (“Company”) and acquired all the assets of ABCO. ENYC changed its name to ABCO Energy, Inc. on October 31, 2011. As a result of the SEA, the outstanding shares of ENYC as of June 30, 2011, were restated in a one for twenty three (1 for 23) reverse stock split prior to the exchange to approximately 9% of the post-exchange outstanding common shares of the Company. On December 13, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-170 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and in the marketplace on January 4, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis. On December 23, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, at a ratio of 1-for 20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and in the marketplace on December 23, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis. On November 8, 2018, by written consent the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares voted to authorize an additional amendment to increase the authorized common shares to 5,000,000,000 shares. On January 13, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-10 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and in the marketplace on January 13, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split the number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced to 50,000,000 from 500,000,000 shares. The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders in May 2017 which authorized an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common share capital to 2,000,000,000 common shares and 100,000,000 preferred shares. Thereafter, on September 27, 2017, by written consent the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares voted to authorize an additional amendment to increase the authorized common shares to 2,000,000,000 shares. After the reverse split on January 4, 2021, the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares once again increased the authorized common shares to 2,000,000,000 shares. On April 14, 2022, by written consent the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares voted to authorize an additional amendment to increase the authorized common shares to 5,000,000,000 shares DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS ABCO sells, installs and services Solar Photovoltaic electric systems that allow the customer to produce their own power on their residence or business property.
