Frequently asked questions
Are Solar Quotes leads exclusive?
No. Solar Quotes is a comparison marketplace. Each homeowner is referred to up to 3 installers who then compete for the job. Capital Leads sells the same homeowner to one installer only.
How much do Solar Quotes leads cost installers?
Solar Quotes states on its own About page that installers pay about $60 plus GST for most solar leads, charged whether or not you convert the lead into a sale. Capital Leads shows live per-lead pricing for your area and refunds your first pack if you close nothing.
Do you pay Solar Quotes if you don't win the job?
Yes. Their contract states the referral fee is paid whether or not you convert the matched lead into a sale. You can reject clearly unsuitable leads within 7 days. Capital Leads charges per exclusive lead, not per shared referral.
