FAQ

Common Questions
from Partners

Do you provide subcontract labor for out-of-state solar companies?
Yes. We work with solar companies headquartered outside Illinois that need a certified, licensed local partner to handle field work. We can operate fully white-label, representing your brand on site.
What's included in a site survey report?
Our standard site survey includes roof structural assessment, pitch and orientation measurements, shading analysis, utility panel inspection, interconnection feasibility notes, and photo documentation of all relevant conditions. The written report is formatted for your engineering team and suitable for permit submission.
Can you service systems you didn't install?
Yes. We service Enphase and SolarEdge systems regardless of who installed them. We have access to the Enphase Installer Portal and SolarEdge monitoring platform, which allows us to remotely diagnose most issues before rolling a truck — saving your customers time and reducing your costs.
How do you handle permitting in Illinois?
We have experience with municipal permit requirements across the Chicago metro, collar counties, and downstate Illinois. We can handle permit application preparation, AHJ coordination, and inspection scheduling as part of a subcontract scope. We also have direct relationships with ComEd and Ameren interconnection teams.
Do you sign NDAs or subcontractor agreements?
Yes. We regularly sign standard subcontractor agreements, NDAs, and white-label service agreements. We understand that your customer relationships are yours, and we operate accordingly.
What is your typical turnaround for site surveys?
For most locations in the Chicago metro and northern Illinois, we can typically schedule a site survey within 3–5 business days. Downstate locations may require a bit more lead time. Rush scheduling is available depending on crew availability — contact us to discuss.
