What Got Sun Go Solar does

Got Sun Go Solar Inc. is a privately held, family-owned solar Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor headquartered in Seekonk, Massachusetts. Founded in 2009 by Ron Bennet, the company has operated continuously for 15+ years, leveraging the founder's 25+ years of general contracting experience to deliver turn-key solar installations across Southern New England, specifically Bristol County, Massachusetts (Easton to Westport) and the entirety of Rhode Island (Woonsocket to Charlestown). The company serves both residential homeowners and commercial businesses, with a workforce of 11-50 employees handling in-house design, engineering, roofing, electrical, and installation functions without subcontractor dependence.

The core technical offering is grid-tied solar photovoltaic systems using polycrystalline or monocrystalline silicon panels paired with inverters (including micro-inverter configurations for shading mitigation), with optional Sonnen battery backup for outage resilience and solar-integrated pergolas and carports for properties with constrained roof space. Production estimates are validated against the NREL PVWatts third-party tool. The company handles the full project lifecycle including permitting, utility interconnection, SREC account registration, and ongoing warranty service, and is licensed in Massachusetts (HIC#180717) and Rhode Island (REG#3973).

Go-to-market is sales-led and field-based, with free on-site consultations, shading analyses, and a web-based Solar System Estimator feeding direct sales pipelines. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time EPC project sales supplemented by BankFive solar loan financing partnerships, SREC transaction assistance in Massachusetts, and ancillary roofing services. Marketing relies on TV advertising, chamber memberships (Bristol County, Taunton), industry associations (SEIA, SEBANE), and a structured customer referral program. The company claims 99.9% of customers achieve negative electric bills and references a $5,000 per kW home value uplift, positioning itself as a premium, personal-touch alternative to large national installers.
