HyreSolar

For solar professionals

How it works for solar professionals

The mechanics in more detail than the main page carries, with a straight line between the eight terms that are settled and the six that are not.

Last updated

The short version. HyreSolar intends to pass requests from homeowners who read its guides, research and calculators, matched to the service area and services you register, and only after the homeowner consents on a step of its own.

You own the relationship, and we take no percentage of the job. Pricing, exclusivity, speed, credits, contract length and market order are not decided.

Where will homeowner requests come from?

HyreSolar buys no traffic to resell. It publishes a library of guides, original research computed from federal utility filings, and free calculators that show their formula on the page.

Homeowners arrive from search with a problem: a bill that jumped, a system that stopped reporting, a tax credit deadline they half-heard about. Some reach the end of that reading, decide they want a professional, and fill in a form. The five stages are on the main page.

What will a request contain?

  • Always. Zip code, stated goal, property type, ownership, name, email and phone.
  • Where the homeowner supplied it. Monthly bill band, annual kWh, utility, roof age, roof type, shading, available ground space and their own description.

The middle steps of the form are optional by design. Requiring a homeowner to know their annual kilowatt-hours before asking a question would cost more requests than the extra field is worth.

Which terms are already settled?

These are commitments HyreSolar has made to participating professionals, not intentions. They will not change quietly.

CommitmentWhat it means
You choose your service areaZip codes, cities or counties. Requests are matched against what you give us, and the area is never widened to manufacture volume.
You choose your servicesInstallation, storage, repair, EV charging and the rest. You only receive the request types you asked for.
The homeowner consents firstConsent is its own step on the form, not a checkbox under a submit button. Nothing is passed on without it.
You own the customer relationshipYou call, you design, you quote, you contract directly. HyreSolar is not a party to it.
We take no cut of the jobWhatever the eventual pricing model is, it will be for the introduction, not a percentage of the work.
Payment never buys coverageNot placement in a guide, not a favorable comparison, not the removal of a warning. The editorial side does not take requests from the commercial side.
No ranking, no badgesThere is no HyreSolar score or tier, because we have no documented methodology that would support one.
You can change or pauseService areas and services are yours to adjust. The exact mechanism sits with the terms below.

Which terms are not decided yet?

HyreSolar is early, and would rather publish this list than invent terms that change in three months.

TermWhere it stands
Pricing model and price pointsNot decided. Per request, subscription or something else, and at what price.
Exclusive or sharedNot decided. Whether a request goes to one professional or several.
Delivery speedNot decided. How quickly an accepted request reaches you. No commitment has been set.
Invalid requestsNot decided. What qualifies for a credit, and how a dispute is raised.
Contract termsNot decided. Minimum commitment, if any, and how to pause or leave.
Market availabilityNot decided. Which states and metros open first, and in what order.

The partner FAQ answers these one by one. When they are settled, businesses on the list hear before the public page changes.

What does HyreSolar ask in return?

HyreSolar tells homeowners how to vet a solar company, and how we vet sets out the checks. Passing requests to companies that fail that advice would make both pages worthless.

  • Registered. A registered business with a verifiable operating history.
  • Licensed. Current licensing wherever your state or locality requires it.
  • Insured. General liability, and workers’ compensation where you employ crews.
  • Responsive. Prompt contact on requests you accept.
  • Itemized. Written proposals with each warranty stated separately.
  • No pressure. No doorstep contracting, no same-day-only pricing, no savings guarantees before a site assessment.

What is the next step?

Complete the application. It is free and commits you to nothing.

Questions people ask

What does registering do right now?
It records your business, service area and the services you want, and puts you on the list for your market. Nothing is charged, nothing is committed, and it is not an agreement to buy anything.
When will homeowner requests start?
We will not give you a date we cannot keep. Requests will follow where homeowners find our guides and research, which is uneven by market. Registering means you hear before the public page changes.
What will a homeowner request contain?
Always: zip code, stated goal, property type, ownership, name, email and phone. Where the homeowner supplied them: monthly bill band, annual kWh, utility, roof age, roof type, shading, ground space and their own description. The middle steps are optional, so some requests carry less.
Does HyreSolar verify homeowner requests?
A person checks a request is complete and that the zip and service type are covered. We do not credit-check homeowners or verify intent beyond what they tell us, and we will not claim otherwise.
