Solar Quote Funnel Layers
A non-empirical map that keeps request capture, system design, and marketplace discovery as separate workflows.
| Layer | Recorded Purpose | Verification Need |
|---|---|---|
| Request capture | Accept submitted contact, address, project, consent, source, and whether the texted code was entered | Measure actual contact, installer qualification, consultation, proposal, and sale separately |
| System design | Model panels, production assumptions, system constraints, and proposal details | Verify current vendor inputs, modeling limits, and output terms |
| Marketplace or review discovery | Offer a third-party discovery or comparison path | Verify current distribution, pricing, review, and lead-definition terms |

Frequently asked questions
What is a solar quote widget?
A solar quote widget is a website or hosted flow that uses an address, available property data, and configurable assumptions to show preliminary system or cost context before collecting a request. It is not a final design, production guarantee, tax opinion, utility approval, or binding quote.
How do solar quote widgets convert website visitors?
They can provide useful context before asking for contact details, but lift is not guaranteed. Measure eligible sessions, completed requests, requests where the texted code was entered, actual contacts, appointments, proposals, and paid customers by source. Incentive accuracy, coverage failures, mobile friction, and follow-up quality can materially change results.
What should I compare in DemandIQ and Aurora alternatives?
Separate lead capture from system design and proposal production. Compare property-data coverage, estimate assumptions, design depth, financing and incentive handling, phone-status evidence, integrations, implementation, and current total price. GeoQuote is positioned around the request front door, not as a substitute for every design function.
How fast can a solar quote be generated from property data?
There is no universal time. Response depends on address coverage, data providers, model configuration, incentives, and downstream services. A homeowner flow should show a clear fallback and avoid promising a completed system design or precise savings result from an address alone.
What is the average solar installer website conversion rate?
A single benchmark is not reliable enough for a buying decision because traffic intent, channel mix, geography, offer, device, brand, and event definition differ. Establish the contractor's baseline from analytics and CRM records, then run a controlled test with a predefined request and paid-customer outcome.
