Poll Results Are In: 58% of Solar Companies Are Overpaying for Customers
Residential Solar Cost Per Sale
Hello Solar Squad,
Last week, I asked you a simple question:
What's your marketing cost per closed deal?
The results? Eye-opening.
📊 The Results
WINNING BRACKET: $1,000-$2,000 per sale
7 out of 24 votes (29.17%)

Here's what jumped out immediately:
58% of respondents are paying over $2,000 per sale.
Let me be direct: If you're spending more than $2,000 to acquire a customer, you're leaving serious money on the table.
The Real Cost of Inefficient Marketing
Same $10,000/month ad spend. Two very different outcomes:
Company A: $1,500 per sale
Closes 6-7 customers/month
80 deals per year
Company B: $3,300 per sale
Closes 3 customers/month
36 deals per year
The difference? 44 fewer deals.
At $30K average deal size, that's $1.32M in lost revenue - same marketing budget.
Why Most Companies Are Overpaying
After auditing 100+ solar marketing campaigns, I've seen the same pattern:
Companies stuck at $3,000-$5,000+ per sale typically have:
Generic "get a quote" landing pages that don't differentiate
No clear offer (just vague "save money" messaging)
Calling cold leads instead of pre-qualified bookings
Zero AI follow-up or retargeting system
No tracking of what actually converts
Companies at $500-$2,000 per sale do this:
Run offer-specific campaigns (ITC urgency, $0 down, PPA)
Leads self-qualify and book directly
AI handles follow-up automatically
Retarget aged leads systematically
Track every dollar to closed deals
The difference isn't talent. It's system and offer positioning.
If You're Over $2,000 Per Sale, Here's What To Do
Stop trying to fix this alone.
I mean that respectfully but solar marketing has changed dramatically in the past 18 months.
The offers that worked in 2023 don't work now. The landing pages that worked last year convert at half the rate. The lead sources that were goldmines are now oversaturated.
If you're stuck over $2,000 per sale, it's time to get outside support.
Here's why: The companies crushing it at $500-$2,000 per sale aren't smarter. They just have proven systems and tested offers that you don't have access to.
Yet.
