Solar leads · placebo vs the real thing

Need more solar leads? Make sure they turn into installs.

Bought solar leads are sold to three or four installers at once. The number that matters isn't the price of a lead. It's the price of an install. Here is how to work it out, and what we do instead.

03The real costA worked example

Price per lead is the wrong number.

Say a £30 lead and one in twenty installs: £600 an install, before your rep's time. Put your own numbers in.
