Solar advice from someone who actually climbs the roofs
Most solar comparison sites are written by people who have never held the products they review. This one is different: every guide on Go solar Finder comes from hands-on installation and service experience, not manufacturer spec sheets.
Who’s Behind This Site
[Site Name] is written and run by James Cooper, a [certified solar installer / electrical technician] based in Elk Grove, California.
Since [2019], I’ve personally installed or serviced [300+] residential solar systems across [your region], working directly with the brands this site covers most [Deye, Growatt, Solis, Fronius, GoodWe, Sungrow]. Before that, in [2017], I built my first system on my own family’s roof and made enough expensive mistakes in that first year to fill a small book. That book, more or less, became this website.

Why This Site Exists
Two problems kept coming up first when I was learning, and then in nearly every conversation with my own customers:
Brand comparisons online aren’t real. Search any “inverter X vs inverter Y” query and you’ll find spec tables copied from PDFs, padded with paragraphs written by someone who has never opened either box. What homeowners actually need to know is build quality, real fault rates, whether the support line answers isn’t in any datasheet.
Troubleshooting help is scattered and unverified. When an inverter throws a fault, your options are a translated 40-page manual or an abandoned forum thread. Meanwhile, I fix these exact faults on service calls every week.
[Site Name] exists to close both gaps: field-tested comparisons and troubleshooting guides written from real service experience, with local pricing and availability for [your target market].
What We Publish
- Inverter, panel & battery comparisons head-to-head verdicts based on equipment I’ve installed and serviced, not just spec tables.
- Troubleshooting guides step-by-step fixes for error codes, WiFi and monitoring failures, and startup problems, with causes ranked by how often I actually encounter them in the field.
- Long-term reviews including follow-ups after one and two years, because that’s when the real differences appear.
- Sizing and planning guides what system size your household genuinely needs, what it costs in [your market], and what it will realistically save.
Our Editorial Standards
Every article on this site follows the same rules:
- Experience is disclosed. If I haven’t personally installed or serviced a product, the article says so, and the analysis is clearly marked as research-based rather than field-tested.
- Failures are published. When equipment fails or a brand’s warranty process disappoints, we document its photos, error logs, and correspondence included.
- No pay-to-rank. Manufacturers cannot pay for placement, scores, or favorable verdicts. [If you use affiliate links: Some links on this site are affiliate links, which never affect our verdicts. Our recommendations are the same ones I give paying customers face-to-face.]
- Guides are updated. Firmware changes, model revisions, and reader-reported fixes are added to existing articles, with a visible “last updated” date.
Who This Site Is For
Homeowners and small installers in [your target market] who are choosing, sizing, or fixing a residential solar system especially anyone comparing the value-tier brands that dominate real rooftops but get the laziest coverage online.
