The real problem

Your solar ads are burning budget on the wrong people.

Most solar campaigns target too broadly, paying for clicks from renters and people who won't qualify for financing. We fix the targeting before a single dollar is spent.

Targeting renters and non-qualifiers
Broad geographic targeting wastes 60–70% of your budget on people who can't buy. We layer in homeownership, income, and intent signals.
Seasonal peaks create chaos
Without a scalable system, you scramble in spring and burn budget in winter. We build year-round funnels that smooth the curve.
Long sales cycle, no nurture
Solar buyers take weeks to decide. Without retargeting sequences, you lose them to competitors who stayed top-of-mind.

Frequently asked questions

Paid ads for solar companies — FAQ

How do you target only homeowners with paid ads?

We layer multiple signals: homeownership data, property value ranges, income demographics, and behavioural intent signals like engagement with home improvement content. This eliminates renters and non-qualifiers before they ever see your ad.

What's a good cost per lead for solar?

Qualified solar leads typically cost $20–$60 depending on your market. The key metric is cost per qualified appointment — not raw CPL. A $50 lead who owns their home and qualifies for financing is worth far more than a $10 lead who rents.

Do paid ads work for solar in winter?

Yes — winter is actually a great time to build your spring pipeline. Homeowners research solar during winter months. We run awareness and nurturing campaigns in Q4/Q1 that convert to installations when spring arrives, giving you a head start over competitors who only advertise in season.

How do you handle the long solar sales cycle?

With retargeting sequences. Solar buyers take 2–8 weeks to decide. We build multi-touch funnels that keep your company top-of-mind throughout their decision process — from initial interest to signed contract.
