## The solar market right now

Demand for domestic solar is strong. High energy bills, a push to net zero, and rising battery attach rates mean homeowners are actively pricing up systems. The flip side is competition, so the installers who win are the ones who reach the homeowner first and qualify fast.

## Where solar leads come from

You have four routes, and they are not equal.

## What a good solar lead looks like

Before you quote, you want to see enough to know the roof will size up.

## How to convert solar leads

Call within minutes, while the bill is fresh in their mind. Qualify roof and ownership on the first call, then book a survey rather than trying to close on the phone. Follow up several times, because solar is a considered purchase.

AceLeads supplies verified solar leads with this detail, matched to your area, and can also build your own solar funnel if you want exclusive volume.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much do solar leads cost?

It varies by exclusivity and quality. What matters is your cost per install, not per lead. A higher-priced exclusive lead that converts usually beats a cheap shared one that does not.

### Are marketplace solar leads exclusive?

You choose. Exclusive solar leads go to you alone and convert best. Shared leads cost less but you compete on speed.
