Aggregator leads cost up to $150 and cancel half the time. Commercial roofs, channel partners and portfolio owners are a direct-outreach game, and almost no installer plays it.

Replaced Apollo overnight. Reply rate went from 2% to 14% in week one. Wish I found this sooner.

I sent 300 emails on day one. By week 2 I had a closed deal. The verification alone is worth it.
Carlos V.Sales Lead, Series B · Verified on Trustpilot★★★★★
47 demos booked in 30 days. The unlimited sending is a game changer, I used to pay $300/mo for half this.

Residential solar runs on $30 to $150 aggregator leads that cancel half the time, and door crews that cost thousands per closed deal.
Meanwhile the deals with real kWh, commercial and industrial roofs, change hands through direct relationships: facility owners, portfolio managers, and the roofers who refer work.

The acquisition problem
Why solar customer acquisition eats the margin
Aggregator leads cancel
Shared solar leads run $30 to $150, get shopped to several installers, and a huge share cancel after the first site visit. The math barely closes.
Door-knocking does not scale
Canvassing crews cost thousands per closed deal in commissions and churn, and every neighborhood has already been knocked twice this quarter.
Commercial deals never hit the market
C&I projects go to the installer who knew the facility owner before the bid. Without direct outreach, you only see deals after a competitor shaped them.
Is this you?
Built for installers done with burned lead budgets
Aggregator leads cancel on you
Half the appointments evaporate after the first site visit and the fee stays paid.
Door knocking stopped scaling
Every neighborhood has been hit twice this quarter and crew churn eats commissions.

Partners would change everything
One roofer relationship feeds installs for years. It starts with outreach.
The utility-math email
Open with their rate escalation, not a green pitch
Commercial buyers respond to numbers. A short email anchored in their building type's usage profile and payback window gets replies that a generic solar pitch never will.

SubjectAPS rate increases vs your roof, quick math
Hi Dan,
APS commercial rates climbed 11% in two years. For a plant running day shifts like Sunbelt, that is usually a 4-6 year payback on a rooftop system at current ITC rates.
We installed 1.2MW for a plastics plant in Mesa last year; happy to share their actual production numbers.

Solar lead generation questions
How much do solar leads cost?
Shared residential solar leads run $30 to $150, exclusive appointments $150 to $300, and fully loaded door-to-door acquisition often exceeds $2,000 per closed sale. Commercial prospecting through direct outreach costs a fraction of that: Getlead is a flat $19.90 a month license with unlimited scraping and sending.
How do solar companies get commercial leads?
By reaching facility owners and property managers directly, before projects go to bid. Build a list of high-usage buildings in your territory, verify decision-maker emails and send outreach anchored in utility rates and payback for that building type. C&I deals are relationship deals, and email starts the relationship at scale.
Is buying solar leads worth it?
Usually only as a bridge. Shared leads cancel at high rates and train customers to price-shop, and the vendor owns the pipeline, not you. Installers with durable growth run their own channels: referral partnerships with roofers and electricians plus direct commercial outreach. Both are list-and-email problems Getlead solves.
What is the best lead source for solar installers in 2026?
A mix: referral partners for steady residential flow and direct outreach for commercial projects. Both compound over time, unlike purchased leads that reset to zero every month. Verified email outreach is the cheapest way to open both channels.
