SolarQuotes ® Lead Generation

15 Question Quote Form

quality sales leads

authentic lead generation
is a marathon, not a sprint.

The faster you run the leads down the sales funnel, the less qualified the leads will be.

That is why, at SolarQuotes®, we have additional filtering layers that are tweaked and modified constantly to keep up with customer demands and the rapidly changing industry.

We want the qualified leads that we send your way to be educated, have total clarity and be ready to purchase.

An example of this is our off-grid warning

  • Problem

    Our clients told us that lots of people see mainstream media stories about high power prices and want to go off-grid to stick it to the power companies – until they realise that a small off-grid system starts at $20,000+ !

  • Our Solution

    When a customer selects “solar + batteries > off grid system” we show them this screen:

  • battery system alert

  • Result

    People that ask for quotes for an off-grid system through SolarQuotes® have a realistic budget. No more people running away when they see the price of a proper system.

raising the bar

  • experts

    We are experts in qualified lead generation, SEO, PPC, conversion, optimisation and everything digital, as well as solar power and batteries.

  • guarantee

    We have the friendliest lead -return policy in the industry. If you reject the lead within 7 days of getting it you don’t even get invoiced for it.

  • ethical

    Honesty and transparency are key values we operate by. We use ethical SEO practices and would never incentivise or entice sales leads. No call centres, no door knockers.

  • environment

    SolarQuotes® was started to accelerate the adoption of high quality solar power in Australia. Solar that ends up in landfill after 3-5 years is our common enemy.

  • we love solar

    We do not operate lead generation for any other class of tradie or home improvement professional. We generate content and leads for solar, batteries and EV chargers. That’s it.

how do we work?

At SolarQuotes®, our job is to find Australians who want to buy solar and send them to you to convert into sales. Easier said than done. As online marketing and solar experts, we spend hours analysing, tweaking, finding, revising, amending, to make sure you get the customers you need.

  1. People find us
    1. Because we advertise widely online offering to educate Australians about solar, and arrange up to three quotes.
    2. Because we have thousands of pages of high quality, expert advice and reviews.
    3. Because our website contains heaps of information, such as our solar 101 page, that explains solar to the layperson without drowning them in information.
  2. Online Form
    1. When visitors are ready to progress to getting quotes, they will complete our online form (15 steps) with their solar requirements and contact details.
  3. Referral Engine
    1. Our referral engine finds up to three Australian solar companies that match their needs and service their location.
  4. Initial Contact with Customer
    1. The customer gets an email with the details of a maximum of three quoting companies, including you.
    2. We provide the lead with all the information they need to choose between the quotes. We provide a ‘quality checklist’ to help them decide which system to choose using much more than price alone.
  5. Initial Contact with Solar Company
    1. You get an email (or SMS or automatic update of your CRM system) with the qualified lead’s details and requirements. We charge you for this lead.
  6. Convert the Customer
    1. It is now your responsibility to follow up the lead. The winning company installs the system. No commission is payable to us.
  7. Customer Feedback
    1. Sixty days after the initial quote request we ask the customer to review your service. We publish this review on your own review page, creating valuable 3rd party proof that you are a great installer.
    2. You can then leverage this sale and your reviews to get free word-of-mouth sales.

your questions answered

  • In what format will I receive the qualified solar sales leads?

    We can send an email or SMS. But the best way is for your server to talk to our servers directly using our API, so fresh sales leads appear in your CRM immediately. We can help you implement this system. If you want the ease of this direct and instant lead alert system, it does require a full day of IT integration. Your staff work with our staff to set this system up.

  • Does it integrate into our existing CRM systems?

    Yes – see answer above.

  • How do I know you won’t just send me poor leads followed by a big bill?

    We have a policy that enables you to reject leads within seven days of receiving them, if you genuinely believe the lead is not seriously considering solar in the next 3 months.

  • Can I pause my account so I stop receiving leads, at any time?

    Yes, you can pause your account at any time.

  • Can I nominate a cap, so I’m working within my budget ?

    Yes you can. You can nominate a daily, weekly or monthly cap. If you only want 10 leads per month, then we’ll limit the sales leads to 10 per month.

  • Can I cancel or opt out of leads at any time?

    There is no minimum sign up period and you can opt out from sales leads at any time. Otherwise, you can put your account on pause, as described above.

  • Can I specifically request qualified leads of a certain type?

    Yes, you can nominate the type of leads you are interested in and we will send you only those lead enquiries e.g. grid connect, micro inverters, hybrid, off grid etc.

  • Won’t I just be competing against the big, cheap solar companies that sell poor quality solar at rock bottom prices, when I join up with SolarQuotes®?

    You know and we know who the shonky companies in Australia are. Those companies never have and never will be SolarQuotes® clients. We believe in quality at a fair price and we vet our clients accordingly.

  • Isn’t this just a race to the bottom on prices?

    No. We provide a way for Australians to get three quotes for quality solar and then choose the system that suits them the best. We have never promoted SolarQuotes ® as a place to get the cheapest solar system. We actively encourage everyone that reads our advice to pay more for quality systems that will last for decades and avoid the junk. The Clean Energy Council and the Government both recommend that people get at least three quotes when buying solar. We simply facilitate this for people in the easiest and lowest risk way we can.

testimonials

  • `SolarQuotes® has been an excellent resource for us to purchase additional leads when we need them. The ability to control how, when and where we get the leads is of great value to us. Furthermore, the information freely provided by SolarQuotes® to prospective buyers has served as a much needed beacon in the industry. We regularly direct customers to their articles for independent verification of the answers we provide and to further explain many concepts of solar.

    We highly recommend their services.`

    • James Baverstoc | National Sales Manager at Solargain.
    • Review from SolarGain

  • `For the past 4 years I have used SolarQuotes® . I have used several lead quotation websites but all have disappointed me except for Finn Peacock and his team at SolarQuotes®. It’s the only forum I TRUST! Not only does SolarQuotes® help customers with product and service advice, they also give non-biased options about solar which in this game is rare! I strongly advise any customers out there to jump onto SolarQuotes® and have 3 quotes as they simply lead the way in sales leads in the industry.`

    • Scott Mason | Founding Director
    • Review from ASD

  • `Solaray has been working with SolarQuotes® since 2010. During that time, Finn and his team have worked tirelessly to ensure they continue to improve the quality of the leads.

    SolarQuotes® is the only lead generator in the market that goes the extra mile to qualify leads rather than just ‘collect and send’ a phone number. SolarQuotes® leads have had to fill out multiple pages of information which automatically weeds out the casual info seekers and focuses on genuine enquiries. SolarQuotes® is far and away the leading and quality lead generator in the market.`

    • Jonathan Fisk | Director, Solaray
    • Review from SolaRay

  • `Greenwiring has been in the residential and commercial solar industry in Western Australia for the last 7 years. There is no doubt that the SolarQuotes® website is the most informative and professional site for customers to access information on solar products and request 3 quotes from proven quality solar company’s with a track record of providing a quality and professional service. We have tried other providers but have found Finn’s site to be superior in all aspects.

    Most of the leads we get from SolarQuotes® are motivated customers that have done some research on the SolarQuotes® website and are familiar with the different product brands and features on offer which saves time when providing a quote.

    SolarQuotes® provides a non biased opinion on all of the quality solar products on the market today which is very important as there are a few cowboys out there who will tell you anything just to get the sale.

    We would recommend to any customer looking at installing solar to jump on the SolarQuotes® website, do a little research then give it a go.`

    • Ash Noon | Founding Director
    • Review from GreenWiring

  • `SolarQuotes® has been a great investment for Green Solar. Lots of lead generators have popped up in the Solar marketplace recently but the quality SolarQuotes® provides is black and white compared to the rest. The partnership is a win-win between SolarQuotes® and Green Solar. The wealth of knowledge contained in the SolarQuotes® website means I can send our customers there for proof of the advice we give them.`
