How we work

Clear process. No surprises.

From the first phone call to a system that's working — here's exactly what happens on every project.

01

Phone consultation

~15 minutes · Free

We talk through your goals, your home, and whether we're a good fit before anyone schedules a site visit.

02

Site assessment

$99 · Reimbursable on contract

For solar and storage projects, we do a proper in-home assessment. The fee respects both our time and yours — and it's credited back when you sign.

03

Custom proposal

Within 1 week

Itemized proposal with equipment options, financing if needed, and a clear timeline. A clear, itemized proposal — no pressure to decide on the spot.

04

Permits & paperwork

2–4 weeks

We handle every permit, utility application, and HOA submittal. You don't deal with the paperwork.

05

Installation

1–3 days on-site

Our licensed crew does the work. Same crew, start to finish. You can text the owner directly with questions.

06

Activation & support

Day of approval

System goes live. We walk you through monitoring and stay your contact for the life of the system.

Typical solar install: 4–8 weeks from first call to activation. EV chargers: usually scheduled within days. Removal & reinstall: coordinated to your roofing contractor's schedule.
Why GoSolar

Built for the long relationship, not the one-time sale.

01

Licensed Illinois electricians on every job

Every install is performed by licensed, insured electricians — not solar-only subcontractors who don't touch your main panel. That distinction matters when something needs service in year five.

02

The owner answers the phone

Direct access to leadership. Questions get answered the same day by someone who can actually decide. When you call, you reach a real person who knows your project.

03

One crew, every step

The same team that quotes your project does the install — and handles service calls down the road. No rotating subcontractors. Accountability built into the workflow.

04

Locally based

We're Chicagoland-based. We know Cook, Lake, McHenry, DuPage, and Kane County permit offices and utility coordinators personally — projects move faster.
