Solar customers are evangelists. When a neighbor watches your crew install panels and sees the first utility bill, they want the same. It's Buzzing turns that enthusiasm into a structured, trackable referral program with rewards that match the ticket size.
Canvassing costs $200–$600 per qualified lead. A referred lead from a happy neighbor costs a fraction and closes faster.
Solar is a big commitment. But when it comes from someone who already has panels and loves their savings, the hesitation disappears.
When you install on a street, 3–5 neighbors notice. Without a referral system, that visibility evaporates within a week.
Platform Features
High-ticket reward management, neighborhood targeting, and partner networks — built into one platform.
When you install on a street, auto-trigger a "your neighbor just went solar" referral link to the new homeowner to share immediately.
Solar referrals justify $500–$1,000 rewards. It's Buzzing handles large reward payouts automatically — cash, check, or gift card.
Track referred leads through your full sales cycle. See which referrers drive the most closed installs, not just the most clicks.
Post a yard sign with a QR code during and after installation. Neighbors who drive by can scan and learn more — with your referrer credited.
Connect with realtors, roofers, and HVAC contractors who encounter homeowners mid-renovation. Set up B2B referral partnerships in the platform.
Prompt happy customers for a Google review and a referral in the same post-install sequence. Doubles your visibility from every installation.
How It Works
Three steps that turn every completed install into a live referral campaign.
The moment a system goes live, your new customer gets a referral link and a "your neighbors want to know" prompt.
They share with the street. Neighbors scan the yard sign. The referral link tracks every touch.
Referred homeowner signs and installs. Your customer earns $500–$1,000 automatically. You close a job that cost almost nothing to source.
Campaign Ideas
Copy these campaigns directly into your It's Buzzing dashboard.
Day of install completion, send homeowner a referral link with $500 reward. "Share this with your neighbors while they're watching the crew."
60 days after install, when the homeowner has seen real savings, send a new referral prompt. "You've saved $180. Share the savings with your neighbors?"
When 3+ homes on one street install within 6 months, all 3 homeowners earn a bonus reward. Creates collective neighborhood momentum.
Partner with roofers and HVAC companies. They refer customers mid-renovation; you split the savings on sourcing.
Run referral campaigns in Q4 and Q1 when homeowners are making energy upgrade decisions for tax purposes.
Homeowners who refer 2+ completed installs earn lifetime monitoring credits and priority service. Your biggest advocates become your best asset.
Real Results
"I put a yard sign with a QR code at every install. Within 30 days, I had 4 more appointments on the same street. That one yard sign was worth $74,000 in installed contracts."
"The 60-day utility bill follow-up is genius. When customers have seen real savings, they're enthusiastic. I've closed 9 installs from that one automated campaign."
"I partnered with a roofer through the platform. We both refer each other's customers mid-project. In 4 months, it's added 11 referral installs to my pipeline."
