For contractors

Solar leads with the usage already filled in

Homeowners across western North Carolina post their monthly kWh, loads, roof, shade and backup goals. You choose who to respond to: an estimate, a site visit, or the standard paid evaluation. Approval and an NC electrical contractor license required.

What you will need

  • An NC electrical contractor license
  • General liability insurance
  • Your service area and travel radius
  • A way to visit homes and write proposals

Contractor questions

Read the full contractor agreement.

What do I need to join?

An NC electrical contractor license, general liability insurance, and a service area. We review every new contractor and check the license number before you can respond to requests.

What can I send a homeowner?

Three kinds of responses: the standard paid evaluation at the site price, your own site visit (free or with a fee you set, credited or not), or an estimate based on the usage and goals the homeowner entered.

How does the paid evaluation work for me?

You visit, review the homeowner's panel, roof and usage, and leave a written quote. You collect the $349 as the site settings say, and if the homeowner hires you for the system, you credit it toward the price.

What does it cost to be listed?

Nothing right now. If that changes we will tell you first, and you will see any fee before you send a response.

How much detail do homeowners give?

Monthly kWh when they have it, how they heat and cook, well pump, EV plans, roof and shade, and their goals, including backup days and generator plans. Many choose to share their street address so you can check the roof before quoting.

Can generator-only companies join?

Yes. Pick generators as what you install and you will see requests where the homeowner wants or already has a generator.
