Solar installation companies · Real estate and construction
Turn the homeowner comparing three solar quotes into a signed rooftop.
A rooftop solar enquiry usually starts with a bill. A homeowner sees a summer bill jump, hears a neighbour talk about the PM Surya Ghar subsidy, and asks three installers for a quote in the same week. A factory owner starts when the tariff revision lands, and wants a payback figure before anything else.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Solar installation marketing makes you the installer a homeowner, housing society or factory trusts when the power bill finally hurts. Sales is what happens next: the site survey, the quote, the subsidy and net metering paperwork, and a signed order. GullySales writes the rooftop pages, keeps you visible in local search, and follows up every quote that goes quiet.
Most installers get enough enquiries in the hot months. The orders are lost after that. The survey is booked a week late, the quote goes out as a bare PDF, and nobody calls back while the customer waits for a cheaper number. Solar needs the marketing and the sales connected, because the customer is comparing you on trust and paperwork as much as on price per kilowatt.

How buyers decide
How solar installation companies are chosen.
A homeowner searches for rooftop solar near them, checks Google Maps reviews, and asks the apartment WhatsApp group who installed theirs. Many apply on the PM Surya Ghar national portal first and then pick a registered vendor, so being on that list and findable by name both matter. A son or daughter who reads up online usually sits in on the decision.
A housing society decides at a committee meeting, comparing the quotes one member collected. The order goes to the installer who answered the hard questions: common-area load, roof waterproofing, and who files the net metering application with the DISCOM. A factory or school decides on payback and your past commercial and industrial (C&I) roofs, and its accountant will ask about accelerated depreciation.
The order usually goes to whoever surveyed the roof first and sent a quote with generation, savings and subsidy in plain rupees. The buyer also wants to believe you will chase the DISCOM until the net meter is fitted. Electricians, builders and architects pass on work too, and they call the installer who stayed in touch.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for solar installation companies.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Everyone calls in April and nobody calls in the monsoon”
Enquiries pile up in the summer when bills are highest, the survey team cannot keep up, and the pipeline goes quiet as soon as the rains start.
“Customers take our quote to the cheaper installer”
We explain panel brands, inverter choice and structure height, and the customer uses our proposal to negotiate with someone quoting less per kilowatt.
“The subsidy and net metering questions eat up our sales time”
Half of every call is about when the PM Surya Ghar subsidy arrives and when the net meter gets fitted. The salesperson repeats the same answer all day.
“Housing society deals go on for months”
The committee asks for a revised quote, then another meeting, then a comparison with two other installers, and we lose track of who we last spoke to.
“Our commercial enquiries never get a proper proposal”
A factory owner asks about a 100 kW rooftop and gets the same format we send a homeowner, with no payback working or reference to past C&I work.
“Installed customers never hear from us again”
After commissioning nobody asks for a review, offers panel cleaning or a battery upgrade, or asks who else in the building might want solar.
What we do
What we do for solar installation companies.
Everything included for solar installation companies, and the result each part is there to produce.
Pages for each kind of system and buyer
Separate pages for home rooftops, housing societies, factories and hybrid systems, each answering the questions that buyer actually asks about cost, subsidy and payback.
Result: A factory owner and a homeowner each land on a page written for them.
Subsidy and net metering explainer
A plain guide to how the PM Surya Ghar application, the DISCOM net metering process and the subsidy credit work, checked against the current scheme rules before it goes live.
Result: Sales calls spend less time on the same explanation and more on the customer's roof.
Google Business Profile and local search
The profile completed with installation photos, service areas and system types, plus local pages for the towns and localities you actually cover.
Result: A homeowner searching for solar installers nearby finds you with real rooftops on show.
Enquiry to survey routine
A reply script, a survey booking step and a record of every enquiry, so a summer rush does not bury the serious buyers under the curious ones.
Result: Serious enquiries get a survey date while they are still comparing.
Quote format that explains itself
A proposal layout showing expected generation, bill savings, subsidy, payback and the components used, with a short note on why each choice was made.
Result: The customer compares on value, not only on the rate per kilowatt.
Quote follow-up sequence
A scheduled call and WhatsApp follow-up for every quote, with the answers to common objections about panel brands, warranty and roof leaks ready to send.
Result: Quotes still being weighed get a second and third conversation.
C&I proposal and reference pack
A commercial proposal with payback working, past commercial project summaries and the finance options, built for factory owners and their accountants.
Result: A commercial buyer sees you as a serious installer, not a home-rooftop shop.
Report against the baseline
Enquiries by source, surveys done, quotes sent and orders signed, reported against the baseline recorded before the work began.
Result: You can see where orders are really being lost.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries by source and system type
- Time from enquiry to site survey
- Surveys against quotes sent
- Quotes against signed orders, residential and commercial
- Reviews from installed customers
- Maintenance and upgrade orders from past customers
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what solar installation companies most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.
Pre-summer residential rooftop campaign
Search and Meta advertising, a subsidy explainer and locality pages timed to the weeks before bills rise, so surveys are booked before the rush.
Result: Survey slots fill earlier instead of all at once in April.
Housing society committee campaign
A society proposal pack, a short presentation for the committee meeting and outreach to RWAs and facility managers in the localities you cover.
Result: The committee member collecting quotes has everything needed to recommend you.
Factory rooftop campaign after tariff revisions
LinkedIn and email outreach to factory owners in nearby industrial areas, timed to the state tariff revision, with a payback calculator page.
Result: Commercial buyers hear from you when their power cost is top of mind.
Monsoon maintenance and upgrade campaign
Panel cleaning, inspection and battery upgrade offers sent to past customers during the rains, when new rooftop enquiries slow down.
Result: The team stays busy and past customers remember who installed their system.
Farm solar pump campaign
Local-language content and dealer outreach for solar pumps, explaining eligibility under the state's PM-KUSUM rollout in general terms and checked before launch.
Result: Farmers asking about pumps reach an installer who can explain the scheme.
Beyond search
Where we reach buyers of solar installation companies, beyond Google.
Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.
Electricians and electrical contractors
We prepare a referral note and a simple tracking sheet for local electricians who are often asked about solar before anyone else.
Builders and architects
We prepare a short introduction and a specification sheet so builders and architects can include rooftop solar in new villas and apartment projects.
Resident welfare associations and facility managers
We prepare an awareness session outline and a follow-up message for RWAs and the facility managers who run large apartment complexes.
Industry associations and industrial areas
We build an outreach list of units in nearby industrial estates and prepare material for local manufacturers' association meetings.
Banks and finance partners
We prepare a note for bank branches offering solar loans, so their customers are pointed to an installer who explains the whole process.

United States
Working with US solar installation companies.
A US solar sale happens twice. The homeowner signs at the kitchen table, and then waits. The permit with the city, the utility's interconnection application, the inspection, and permission to operate before a single kilowatt hour is allowed to flow. Cancellations cluster in that gap. Three weeks of silence is all it takes for a signed contract to become a refund request.
The federal tax credit is the other half of every conversation, and it is where installers talk themselves into trouble. We write what the paperwork involves in plain terms and send the homeowner to their own tax professional for anything about their liability. Our hours are agreed with your office before work starts. Any savings or payback figure in an advert is built from your own production estimate, not a number invented for the page.
The wait between signature and permission to operate
A short update at each milestone, from permit filed to inspection passed to interconnection submitted, takes away the silence a customer fills in for themselves. We write the sequence, and the wording for the week the city is slow.
Proposals built to survive a second quote
The production estimate, the shade study, the panels and inverter named with their warranty terms, and a line saying who files the interconnection. A homeowner comparing two bids on price per watt alone is comparing the wrong thing.
Cash, loan and lease set out side by side
Each route has a different owner of the tax credit and a different cost, including the dealer fee on a loan. We write the comparison plainly and leave the recommendation to you and the homeowner's own adviser.
Referrals asked for on the day it switches on
The neighbours have watched your crew on that roof for two days. The ask goes out when the system is finally producing and the customer is pleased, not six months later in a newsletter.
Advertising claims checked against your own numbers
No free solar, no promised bill of zero, and no saving you cannot show the working for. US advertising rules treat those as claims you have to substantiate, and the industry's reputation in your county is already doing you no favours.
Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
