Guide To Buying Solar Leads

Your 2022-2023 Solar Lead Buying Guide

With The Consolidated Appropriations Act Extension, Congress successfully extended the 26% solar tax credit through 2022. However, that tax credit will drop to 22% at the start of 2023 and expire in January 2024 so it’s crunch time to get homeowners signed up to take advantage of these programs.

Why Purchase Solar Leads?

A solar installer has two options when it comes to getting the leads they need to maintain growth – they can either generate their leads via their own lead generation strategy, or they can purchase leads from a reputable third-party provider.

You can’t go wrong generating your own leads via Facebook/Google ads, but it takes time and a significant investment to become profitable. You’re a solar expert, not a digital marketing guy, and have a business to run. Plus the CPA can be as high as $2700 since Apple killed Facebook’s tracking.

However, you can save all that time and effort by working with a company that’s already generating solar leads. There are challenges with finding & vetting the right lead vendor as well. How do you weed out the garbage?

Does this vendor have proper permission to call? Legitimate vendors will have a token called TrustedForm or Jornaya that validates that the consumer filled the form out.
Do they know what their leads are costing per sale? You can get 10 appointments for $300 each, but if only one closes you’re paying $3000 for one sale. An aged lead averages $500-$800 per sale.
Are you the only person buying the lead or are they selling it multiple times?
Does the vendor want a large amount upfront or can you do a smaller test first? This goes two ways, you need a large enough sample. 5 leads are not enough data to determine quality. What’s great about aged leads is you can get far more for a lot less cash.
