GUIDES · FOR UK SOLAR INSTALLERS
Commercial Solar Lead Guides for Installers
These guides are written for UK solar installers who buy, or are thinking of buying, commercial solar leads. They cover what a good lead looks like, what leads cost by system size, how to run a commercial solar survey once it is booked, and where in the UK we supply survey appointments.
Solar Surveys UK sells pre-qualified commercial solar survey appointments for businesses, farms and commercial properties, typically around 40kW to 750kW+ systems. Every lead is generated in-house by TNW Marketing and qualified by phone by a UK-based team, confirming the decision-maker, roof ownership, energy consumption and intent. You pay for a booked survey that actually sits: no sit, no pay.
Start with buying solar leads in the UK if you are comparing suppliers, or go straight to the commercial solar lead cost guide for pricing.
