Faster Installs.

We build marketing systems that attract qualified solar enquiries, explain savings and incentives clearly, and position you as the installer homeowners choose over national call centres.
Trusted by solar installers to turn local demand into booked work Serving London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds and beyond.
Who This Is For

Understanding the Solar Market
Who your customers are, what they search for, what marketing typically costs, and how we capture intent before competitors do.

What buyers search for
Solar search spans rebate research, installer comparison and ready-for-assessment intent. We structure long-cycle funnels so spend follows signed installs, not casual calculators.

Signals of ready-to-book intent

Typical marketing costs
Solar install values are high but cycles are long. Marketing economics depend on consultation-to-install conversion and average system size, not lead volume alone.
Cheap shared solar leads often shop five quotes and ghost. Owned funnels cost more per lead and less per installed system when follow-up and education are strong.
How we capture intent
We capture solar demand through education SEO, incentive-aware paid search, savings calculators with honest framing, and retargeting across multi-week consideration cycles.
Savings and rebate SEO
Pages on system sizing, rebates, payback and local install galleries that rank through the research phase.
Qualified solar search
Campaigns for installer, quote and assessment terms with ownership and intent filters.
Long-cycle nurture
Email and retargeting sequences explaining rebates, process and local proof until consultation books.
Install attribution
CRM tracking from click to consultation, contract and commissioned system.
Geographic targeting
Owner-occupier suburb targeting with roof-suitable housing filters where available, plus separate small commercial campaigns for rooftop feasibility queries.
Our Solar Marketing Approach
Demand Capture Aligned With Local and Buyer Intent
Service demand is driven by location, timing and intent. We capture early research, active buyer intent and high-intent local searches tied to availability.
High-Intent Lead Generation
Not all leads are equal. We filter low-intent enquiries early, prioritise ready-to-book customers, and align lead quality with the jobs you actually want.
Positioning and Messaging That Differentiates
We build messaging around trust, local relevance and clear value, so you stand out on more than price in a crowded market.
Full Consideration-Cycle Support
From first search to booked job, we support quotes, follow-ups and repeat work with online presence that backs up every offline conversation.
Attribution and Visibility Across the Funnel
We implement tracking that shows lead source quality, assisted conversions and channel-level ROI, so you know what really drives booked work.
