Residential Solar
Qualified Solar Leads and Appointments
Homeowners request solar quotes based on their utility bill, roof condition, and interest in ownership versus financing options. OneVia builds qualified solar leads and scheduled appointments around the details that determine whether a home is a realistic fit for a system before you invest time in a proposal.
Projects covered
Coverage includes new residential solar installations, system quotes for homeowners comparing purchase versus financing, and roof-condition-sensitive requests where age or orientation may affect design. Requests capture approximate roof age, general orientation, average monthly utility bill range, and stated shading concerns where the homeowner has provided them.
New solar installation
Homeowners without existing solar seeking a full system quote.
Cash purchase inquiries
Homeowners planning to pay outright rather than finance.
Financed system inquiries
Homeowners exploring loan or lease-type financing options, credit-sensitive.
Roof age/condition flagged
Requests noting an older roof that may need review before panel placement.
Shading concerns
Homes with trees or structures that may affect system design and output.
High utility bill inquiries
Homeowners motivated primarily by a specific reported monthly bill amount.
Examples of qualifying project requests
- ""My electric bill has been over $250 a month, want to see if solar makes sense.""
- ""Roof is about 5 years old, south-facing, interested in a quote.""
- ""Want to compare buying outright versus financing a solar system.""
- ""Not sure if my roof has too much shade for solar, want an assessment.""
- ""Ready to move forward, just need a design and pricing.""
- ""Want to know if my credit qualifies for financing before I commit.""
How OneVia verifies and qualifies the opportunity
- Contact information is verified so the phone number and address you receive are working and accurate.
- The requester confirms real project intent — an active interest in a solar quote, not a general inquiry.
- Location is checked against your active service territory before the lead or appointment is sent.
- Basic project fit is confirmed, including reported utility bill range and any known roof or shading notes, against OneVia's current qualification standards. Because financing and credit review are handled by the contractor or lender, meeting these standards does not guarantee the homeowner will qualify for financing or move forward with installation.
OneVia delivers homeowner opportunities. Contractors remain solely responsible for estimating, sales, licensing, permitting, insurance, workmanship, service and project performance. OneVia does not guarantee that a homeowner will purchase.
Qualified Leads or Qualified Appointments
OneVia Leads — we qualify, you work it
With the Qualified Lead program, OneVia generates and qualifies solar leads against the above standards and delivers the contact and property details to you. Your team follows up directly to assess the roof, review the utility bill, and present financing or purchase options.
OneVia Appointments — we qualify, follow up and book
With the Qualified Appointment program, OneVia also follows up with the homeowner and schedules the in-home or virtual consultation directly on your calendar. This does not guarantee the appointment will result in a signed installation agreement or financing approval — only that a qualified appointment is placed on your schedule.
What is a qualified solar lead?
A qualified solar lead is a homeowner or property owner who submitted a relevant solar project request, falls inside your selected service category and territory, and provides the information required under OneVia's current qualification standards.
Territory and availability
You select the ZIP codes or service radius where you want solar leads and appointments delivered. Availability is limited by market and can be open, limited, or full depending on current contractor coverage — check current availability before enrolling.
Response standards we ask contractors to hold
- Solar decisions often involve a longer consideration period, so a clear, unhurried first-call explanation of next steps matters.
- Reviewing a copy of the utility bill early in the process helps set realistic system-size expectations.
- Financing conversations are credit-sensitive, so avoid assuming approval before the homeowner has gone through your qualification process.
- Roof age and condition should be verified in person even when self-reported details look favorable over the phone.
Solar lead questions, answered
Are solar leads shared with other installers?
OneVia's delivery structure and any shared-lead terms are outlined in your service agreement and vary by package. Review your plan details or ask your account contact for specifics in your market.
Does OneVia check the homeowner's credit or financing eligibility?
No. Qualification confirms contact accuracy, intent, and basic property fit, but credit review and financing approval are handled by you or your financing partner, not by OneVia.
What if the homeowner's roof isn't actually a good fit for solar?
Roof age, orientation, and shading notes are included when the homeowner provides them, but a full design assessment happens at your site visit. Actual roof suitability can differ from what was initially reported.
Can I get a credit for an invalid solar lead?
Invalid, duplicate, or out-of-territory contact information can be submitted for credit review under OneVia's Lead & Appointment Credit Policy. Each submission is reviewed against that policy's criteria.
How much do solar leads cost?
Pricing varies by industry, market, and package. Use Check Lead Availability to see current pricing and territory options for solar in your area.
Do solar appointments include a scheduled in-home visit?
Qualified Appointments are typically scheduled as an in-home or virtual consultation based on your preference, and OneVia places it directly on your calendar subject to availability.
