What Solar Installers Need To Know (That No One Talks About)

What Solar Installers Need To Know (That No One Talks About)

When we started our solar company, we spent years figuring things out the hard way.

We had no cheat codes, no behind-the-scenes access… just trial, error, and a lot of caffeine!

And here’s the thing we learned: the higher up you go in this industry, the harder it gets to find people who really get it. You know—the folks who’ve built 8-figure businesses, who’ve messed up big, recovered bigger, and aren’t afraid to talk about what actually worked (and what didn’t).

That’s why we launched a podcast called What Solar Installers Need To Know.

It’s for the founders, executives, and managers of real-deal solar installation companies, teams doing $10M to $100M in revenue, managing 50 to 250 people, and juggling project delays, sales growth, financing headaches, O&M strategy, all at once.

We’re not talking theory. 

We’re talking “this is how we turned our ops team into a revenue center” or “here’s the exact system we used to go from residential to commercial without burning out the team.” These are the convos usually reserved for closed-door retreats, private Slack groups, or invite-only meetups.

It’s not fluff. It’s what solar installers actually need to know—shared by people who live and breathe it.

What To Expect:

  • Smart, actionable convos on sales, ops, marketing, and growth
  • Stories from solar leaders who’ve built 8-figure companies (and what they’d do differently)
  • Real-life examples of turning chaos into systems—and systems into scale
  • Tips, tools, and tactics you can actually take back to your team
  • A peek inside what the sharpest solar companies are doing right now

If you’ve ever wished you could be a fly on the wall during a dinner with other solar execs—this is it!
