SVHN for Solar installers
Solar and battery buyers who've already looked at their bill.

- No monthly fee · pay only for jobs you accept
- One solar installer at a time, never a shared lead
- Founding pros: first 2 matches free

What it costs
Lead fees for solar installers, by job type
No monthly fee. A small deposit when you accept (it counts toward the total); the balance only when the job closes. Close it within 7 days and the balance is 20% off.
| Job type | Usually | Deposit at accept | Total lead fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| New solar panels | Install/project | $119 | $395 |
| Add a battery | Install/project | $119 | $395 |
| Repair or service | Standard repair | $35 | $75 |
The band can move with the answers (a water heater replacement is bigger than a repair). Emergencies add $10 to the deposit. Your own customers who book through your link are $0. Route days: one flat $45 for the whole day, only if 3 homes confirm.
