What drives cost

Why your number isn't on this page.

Every solar business is different. The factors below move pricing significantly in either direction:

  • 01Geographic focus — states with strong solar incentives (CA, TX, FL, AZ) cost less to acquire
  • 02Product mix — residential vs commercial vs battery storage affects strategy
  • 03Sales cycle length — long cycles require more nurture investment
  • 04Lead aggregator dependence — Modernize/Solarreviews dependency is expensive to break
  • 05Net metering policy changes — campaign messaging must adapt to local regulatory shifts

Note: Solar has long sales cycles requiring sophisticated multi-touch nurture. Best AI deployments build 90-day automated follow-up sequences from first inquiry to signed contract.
