Chicago Solar Installation Process:

Step 1 – Free Solar Consultation

We will conduct a free site visit to your home to assess available space for solar and analyze your energy usage. We will use this information to create a customized solar proposal.

Step 2 – Proposal and Financing

We will propose a solar system based on energy usage and available space to maximize the value of solar. In the proposal, we will determine the cost of the system, how the system will be paid for, and the return on investment.

Step 3 – System Design and Permits

As a turn-key solar service provider, Good Electric Inc. takes care of everything for you. All system designs comply with the National Electric Code and abide by local rules and regulations. Upon review, modification, and approval of your system design, all construction permits will be obtained and renewable equipment will be ordered, and one of our Energy Project Managers will be assigned to your project.

Step 4 – System Installation

Upon arrival of the solar panels and parts, our professional crew will begin installing your photovoltaic solar system. Our crews arrive each day and work in a respectful and courteous manner. They will leave the site clean each evening.

A typical installation will take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity.

Residential solar power systems are typically roof mounted.  The solar power panels are mounted on a racking system which is attached to the roof; however we can build customer structures such as Pergolas, to maximize your solar installation.

Step 5 – System Maintenance and Warranty

Upon completion of your solar system, you will receive a “Warranty Package” that consists of system drawings, warranty information, self-maintenance instructions, product specifications, and instructions on how to inspect your solar system for optimal energy generation.

You’re never alone. Good Electric Inc. will be available 24/7 to support your system’s ongoing operation, address post installation concerns, and help analyze your system’s performance throughout the warranty period.
