Our Mission: Honest Solar Guidance
We believe every homeowner deserves straightforward, expert guidance on going solar - without the high-pressure sales tactics that plague the industry.
The average solar installation saves homeowners $20,000-$40,000 over 25 years. But the industry is filled with aggressive door-to-door sales reps, misleading savings projections, and confusing financing structures designed to obscure the true cost.
We started Go Solar Install to fix that. Our editorial team includes former solar installers, energy consultants, and consumer advocates who know what actually matters when choosing a solar company.
Every company on our site is evaluated based on real installation cost data, equipment quality, warranty terms, customer satisfaction surveys, and long-term production performance.
We earn commissions through affiliate partnerships - that's how we keep the site free. But our editorial decisions are made independently, and no company can pay for a higher ranking. If an installer doesn't deliver real value, they don't make our list.
What We Stand For
Real-World Data
We evaluate solar companies based on actual installation costs, production data, and homeowner feedback - not marketing promises.
Editorial Independence
No company can buy a spot on our list. Rankings are based on value, quality, and customer satisfaction.
Transparent Cost Analysis
We break down real costs, savings projections, and payback periods so you can make an informed decision.
Quarterly Updates
We refresh pricing, incentive data, and company rankings quarterly as the market evolves.
