Two Ways to Buy Solar on BuyTheCalls

Most pay-per-call marketplaces stop at routing calls. In the solar vertical, we also deliver booked appointments — because the gap between a qualified call and a consultation that actually happens is where most solar installers lose money.

Option 1 — Inbound calls & live transfers

The standard marketplace model. A homeowner responds to a publisher's ad, dials a tracked number, and connects live to your team. You handle the qualification and booking yourself. Billed on call duration.

Typical payout $40 – $90 per qualified call

Best for buyers with their own sales floor and enough agents to convert inbound volume into booked jobs.

Why Solar Works as a Pay-Per-Call & Appointment Vertical

Solar is a high-ticket, considered purchase. The homeowner is not going to buy from a banner ad — they need a conversation. But by the time they are searching for quotes, comparing installers, or asking about battery storage, their intent is already formed. Pay-per-call captures them at that moment and connects them to an installer who can answer their questions live.

The economics are different from HVAC or tech support. A single closed solar job can be worth $15,000 to $40,000. That means even a $90 call or a premium appointment fee pays for itself many times over on a single conversion. The question is not whether pay-per-call is affordable — it is whether the calls and appointments are qualified enough to close.

What Counts as Qualified

Whether you buy inbound calls or booked appointments, the qualification criteria are agreed before the campaign starts. These are the filters most solar buyers set.

Verified homeowner

The prospect owns the property. Renters and tenants who cannot authorise an installation are screened out.

$150+ monthly electric bill

Consumption high enough to make a solar or battery solution worth the homeowner's time and yours.

620+ credit score

Pre-qualified for financing so your closers spend time on deals that can actually fund.

Your service area

ZIP-level targeting to where your crews can install. No leads outside your coverage area.

Roof eligible

Roof age, condition and type checked where the buyer requires it, so installers are not quoting jobs they cannot do.

Appointment accountability

For booked appointments: if the homeowner is not qualified or does not attend, the appointment does not count and does not bill.

Solar Appointments vs Hiring Appointment Setters

Most solar installers have tried hiring callers, handing over a script and a lead list, and carrying all the risk. This is how buying exclusive solar appointments compares.

Hiring a cold caller

  • Pay by the hour regardless of results
  • You supply the lead list and script
  • You manage dialers, lines and number health
  • No-shows still cost you
  • Recruiting, training and churn on repeat
  • Quality drops when the setter is unsupervised

BuyTheCalls solar appointments

  • Pay per qualified call or show-up appointment
  • Publishers and call centers source the prospects
  • Infrastructure is on the supply side, not yours
  • No-shows do not count and do not bill
  • Scale up or pause any time, no contract
  • Quality filtered on every call before billing

How It Works

  1. 1Tell us your criteria

    ZIP codes, calendar windows, qualification rules. Standard filters above or tightened to your exact requirements.

  2. 2Publishers generate and qualify

    Vetted publishers source homeowners, verify ownership, bill and credit, and either route the call to you or book the consultation.

  3. 3You receive and pay

    Inbound calls route live. Appointments land on your calendar with full notes. You pay only for what meets the agreed criteria.

Solar Appointments & Pay Per Call — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy solar appointments?

Tell us your service area, your calendar windows and your qualification standard (homeowner, electric bill, credit, roof). Our publishers and call centers source and qualify homeowners, then book exclusive solar appointments directly into your calendar. You pay per qualified appointment the homeowner attends — no retainer and no long-term contract.

Do you offer guaranteed solar appointments?

We don't sell a blind "guaranteed" appointment count sight unseen — that language usually hides no-shows and unqualified sits. What you get instead is protection: an appointment only counts and only bills when the homeowner meets your agreed criteria and actually attends the consultation. Unqualified bookings and no-shows do not count and do not charge, with the exact terms set in your campaign agreement before delivery starts.

What is solar pay per call?

Solar pay per call is a performance model where you pay only for inbound phone calls from homeowners looking for solar installation, roofing or battery storage. The consumer dials a tracked number after responding to a publisher's ad, and connects live to your team. You are billed only when the call meets the agreed duration and qualification criteria.

What is the difference between solar calls and solar appointments?

A solar call is an inbound conversation routed to your agents. You handle the qualification and booking yourself. A solar appointment goes further — the publisher or call center qualifies the homeowner, confirms ownership, bill and credit, and books the consultation into your calendar. You pay per show-up rather than per call.

Are solar calls and appointments exclusive?

Yes. Every call or appointment is delivered to a single buyer per service area. You are never competing with another installer over the same homeowner — these are exclusive solar appointments, not shared leads resold to five companies.

What happens if a homeowner does not show up for an appointment?

You do not pay for it. An appointment only counts and only bills when the homeowner is qualified and attends the consultation. The specific no-show and dispute terms are set in your campaign agreement before delivery starts.

Can I target specific ZIP codes?

Yes. ZIP-level targeting is standard and is what most solar buyers use, since a crew that cannot reach the address turns a paid appointment into a wasted trip. You can set different caps by area.

Do you cover roofing and battery storage?

Yes. The same model applies to roofing replacements and home battery or energy storage consultations. These can be run as separate campaigns or bundled with solar.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

No long-term contract. Start with a small test volume so you can check quality against your own close rate, scale when the numbers work, and pause any time without penalty.

What qualification criteria can I set?

The common filters are homeowner verification, minimum monthly electric bill (usually $150 or more), minimum credit score (usually 620 or above), roof eligibility, and geographic coverage. You can tighten or loosen any of these to match your ICP.

How do appointments reach my team?

Booked directly into your calendar with full notes — name, address, phone, email, the service requested, and confirmation of every qualification criterion. You also receive a daily delivery report.

What traffic sources do publishers use for solar?

The most common are Google and Bing search campaigns on solar intent keywords, organic SEO sites, social media targeting homeowners in solar-eligible areas, and outbound call center teams working clean, consented data. Source is agreed per campaign.

What payouts can publishers expect on solar?

The range for inbound calls is roughly $40 to $90 per qualified call, driven by state, exclusivity and the duration threshold. Appointment delivery pays a per-sit rate that is higher per unit since the publisher carries the booking and show-up risk. Exact rates depend on area and volume.

Can I run solar alongside other verticals?

Yes. Buyers commonly pair solar with roofing or home services. Publishers often run solar alongside HVAC, since the homeowner profile overlaps. See the full marketplace for all verticals.

Other Verticals on BuyTheCalls

Buyers and publishers on the marketplace often run more than one vertical.
