Why I built this

Why I built this for solar installations

I ran a painting company for years. I know exactly how the big lead machines treat solar installations — shared leads, bidding wars, and a bill whether the job closes or not.

Solar lead generation is dominated by

Solar lead generation is dominated by national companies spending millions on door-to-door canvassing and digital ads — independent installers can't compete at scale without burning their margins on leads

Solar leads bought from aggregators are

Solar leads bought from aggregators are sold to 4–6 companies simultaneously, creating a race where the lowest price wins — warm contractor referrals skip that race entirely

Homeowners are skeptical of solar companies

Homeowners are skeptical of solar companies after years of aggressive door-to-door pitching — a recommendation from a trusted roofer or electrician breaks that skepticism instantly

Three steps

How LeadChuck works for solar installations

No shared leads, no bidding war. You set your fee, referrals come from contractors who already vetted the job, and you only pay when you accept.

1

Step 1: Set Your Price

A residential solar installation averages $15,000–$35,000 — the highest single-transaction value of most home improvement categories and worth every dollar in lead acquisition.

Step 2: Get Referrals

Roofers, electricians, HVAC contractors, and energy auditors all have daily conversations about energy costs with homeowners who are perfect solar candidates.

Step 3: Close Jobs

When an electrician texts you saying 'I've got a client in Brentwood asking about solar — their bill is $400/month and they own the house — can I make an intro?' you're walking into a sale.

Who sends solar installations work — and who you send work to

Every job touches more than one trade. Here's who already sends work to solar installations, and who solar installations send work to.

These trades run into your work constantly.
Roofers are on every roof and know exactly which homes have unobstructed south-facing surface area ideal for solar
Electricians discussing panel upgrades and energy costs naturally bridge to solar conversations
HVAC Contractors
HVAC pros talking about energy efficiency and high cooling bills are perfectly positioned to recommend solar
Home Energy Auditors
Energy auditors quantify the exact savings solar would provide — they're the warmest possible referral source
Insulation contractors reducing home energy loss work with the same energy-focused homeowners who want solar
Who you refer out to
Pass the work you don't do and earn a referral fee.
Roofing
Solar installations on aging roofs should follow a roof replacement — and you should be referring that first
$100-200
Electrical Panel Upgrade
Many solar installations require a panel upgrade to 200A service before the system can be installed
$75-150
Battery Storage
Solar clients frequently ask about battery backup — if you don't install batteries, refer a specialist
$100-200
EV Charger Installation
Solar homeowners are prime EV charger installation candidates — refer the install
$45-90
Insulation
Solar clients focused on energy efficiency often want air sealing and insulation improvements too
$55-110
The math

A worked example, not a customer story.

Here's how a season can compound for a solar installation on LeadChuck. The numbers below are an example scenario, not a customer report.

Say you run a solar company in Nashville. You connect on LeadChuck with a roofing company doing 300 jobs a year. The roofer starts noting solar-worthy roofs and sending referrals — 9 in the first 6 months. You close 6 at an average of $22,000. You pay $900 in lead fees. You refer 4 clients to the roofer for roof replacement before solar install. Earn $800 in referral fees. Net cost on $132,000: $100.
Your net lead cost: $17 for $22000+ in revenue. Plus $133 earned in outbound referrals.

Straight answers

Questions, answered.

Is LeadChuck better than buying solar leads from aggregators?

Yes, fundamentally. Aggregator leads are sold to multiple companies and arrive cold and skeptical. LeadChuck leads come from contractors the homeowner already trusts — they close at a rate aggregator leads never touch, at a fraction of the acquisition cost.

How much do solar leads cost on LeadChuck?

Typically $100–$250 given the job value. On a $20,000 installation that's less than 1.5% acquisition cost — compared to $400–$800 from solar lead aggregators.

Do I need to handle financing to receive solar referrals on LeadChuck?

Not required, but contractors who refer expect you to be able to close deals — having financing options makes you more valuable to the referring contractor because their client gets a complete solution.

Can roofers and electricians actually generate quality solar leads?

They generate the highest-quality leads available. A roofer who walks a pristine south-facing roof and says 'this is perfect for solar' has done your pre-qualification work. That lead is nearly closed before you make contact.
