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.

A 45-minute audit call, a written and scored report within a few working days, then a monthly report against your baseline.

In one paragraph

Solar installation marketing makes you the installer a homeowner, housing society or factory trusts when the power bill finally hurts. Solar sales carries that enquiry through the site survey, the quote, the subsidy and net metering paperwork, to a signed order. GullySales builds both, from rooftop pages and local search to quote follow-up.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Monthly report against the baseline

    Enquiries by source, surveys done, quotes sent and orders signed, reported every month 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, then reported every month against it.

Worth a page and a campaign of their own

On-grid residential rooftop systems · Hybrid systems with battery backup · Housing society common-area solar · Factory and warehouse rooftop solar · School, hospital and hotel rooftops · Solar water heaters · Solar pumps for farms under PM-KUSUM · Annual maintenance and panel cleaning contracts · Battery and inverter upgrades for existing systems

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.

FAQ

Questions solar installation companies ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can you get us more PM Surya Ghar customers?
We can make you easier to find and choose once a homeowner has applied. A homeowner scrolling the vendor list will usually search your name next, and your page and Maps reviews decide the call. The scheme's rules and approvals stay with the portal and your DISCOM.
Our enquiries only come in summer. Can that change?
Partly. Starting campaigns before bills rise spreads the surveys out, and the monsoon is the right time for maintenance and upgrade offers to past customers. Solar demand will always be seasonal, so the plan works with it rather than against it.
How do we stop losing on price per kilowatt?
By making the quote explain what the customer is paying for. A proposal that shows generation, component choices, warranty and who handles the net metering gives the customer a reason to pay a fair price.
Should we put our price per kilowatt on the website?
A range helps, a single number hurts. Showing a typical range for a home system, with what changes it, filters out bargain hunters without handing competitors a figure to undercut.
Can you get us registered as a vendor on the national portal?
No, vendor registration is between your company, the scheme and your DISCOM. We make your name, address and service areas match across the portal, Google and your website. A homeowner who picks you from the list then finds the same company everywhere.
Should we focus on homes or factories?
It depends on your cash flow and past projects. A 100 kW factory rooftop ties up money in structure and panels for months, while home orders turn over in weeks. The audit shows which one your current team can actually carry.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
