Key Terms for Solar Installation Contractors

9
Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Your USP is the one thing that makes customers choose you over every other contractor — it's why they'll pay your price instead of going with the cheapest guy.
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
The total amount you spend on marketing and sales to land one new customer — if you spend $1,000 on marketing and get 5 customers, your CAC is $200 per customer.
Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)
The total amount of money you'll make from one customer over the entire time they do business with you, including repeat jobs and referrals.
Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)
How much money you spend to turn a prospect into a paying customer — if you spend $168 on marketing to get one $8,000 concrete job, your CPA is $168.
Return on Investment (ROI)
ROI shows how much profit you make for every dollar you spend on marketing — if you spend $1,000 and it brings in $3,000 in profit, your ROI is 300%.
Average Job Value (AJV)
The typical dollar amount you earn from a completed project — if you completed 10 jobs last month totaling $80,000, your average job value is $8,000.
Reputation Management
Actively monitoring and responding to online reviews and customer feedback to protect and improve your business reputation, which directly impacts how many leads call you.
Repeat Customer Rate
The percentage of customers who hire you for a second, third, or fourth job — if 100 customers hired you and 15 came back for more work, that's a 15% repeat customer rate.
Cost Per Lead (CPL)
Cost Per Lead is how much money you spend to get one potential customer to contact you — if you spend $840 on marketing and get 20 leads, your CPL is $42 per lead.

Common Lead Gen Challenges for Solar Installation Contractors

EnergySage and SolarReviews leads cost $50-150+ each and are shared with 3-5 competitors simultaneously
Door-to-door canvassing is expensive, has high turnover, and faces increasing homeowner resistance
Google Ads CPCs for solar keywords exceed $30-50 per click in competitive SoCal markets
Homeowners are increasingly skeptical due to aggressive solar sales tactics from national players
ITC step-down creates urgency windows that competitors also exploit, compressing margins
Lead quality varies wildly — many 'leads' are just homeowners comparison shopping with no intent to buy
Facebook/Instagram ad costs have risen 40%+ while conversion rates declined due to iOS privacy changes
Net metering policy changes (NEM 3.0 in CA) create confusion that makes selling harder
