You get to decide what types of solar projects and from which areas are best for your company and you'll only receive
customers that match your exact criteria.
We conduct interviews with the customers we send to our partners and ask them to evaluate the service they received
from each company. Over time this develops into an "Installer Score" that helps us determine the installers in the
network that are doing the best job, and which ones we should send more customers to in the future.
How many companies do you connect customer referrals with?
Part of the value we provide to solar customers is that we introduce them to multiple companies to get different
bids and ideas on the project. The maximum number of companies we'll introduce any customer to is three. This gives
the customer a few options to consider for their project, but also ensures you'll have a great opportunity to win every deal.
