Meta ads for solar · Australia

Solar leads who already know what the rebate covers.

Most solar ads produce people collecting their third quote. We build the offer so the ad does the filtering, and the enquiry arrives already knowing roughly what it costs.

  • Rebate-led offers built for STCs and state schemes
  • Battery and VPP campaigns run separately, not bolted on
  • Leads on your phone in seconds
  • Month to month, no lock-in
Where the money leaks

Why solar campaigns produce quote-shoppers

The problem is almost never the targeting. It is what the ad asks for.

The ad competes on price alone

If your creative says the same thing as every other installer, the only thing left for a homeowner to compare is the number at the bottom of the quote. You end up in a race you cannot win.

What we do: put the real post-rebate figure and what is actually included into the ad, so the enquiry starts from value rather than from price.

Nobody explains the rebate properly

Between STCs and the state programs, most households have no idea what they would actually pay. That confusion is the single biggest thing stopping them enquiring.

What we do: lead with the rebate maths in plain language, and use the genuine fact that these programs step down over time as a real reason to move now.

Batteries get bolted onto the panel ads

A battery buyer usually already has solar and is watching their bill. Showing them a panel-install ad wastes the impression and drags your whole account average down.

What we do: run batteries as their own campaign with their own creative, audiences and exclusions.

The follow-up stops after one call

Solar has a long consideration window. One unanswered call on day one and the lead is written off, while they are still actively shopping for two more weeks.

What we do: route leads instantly and keep an SMS and email sequence running across the whole window they are actually deciding in.

Proof

Where we are with solar, honestly

We would rather tell you exactly what we can and cannot show you than dress up a number.

Two live solar accounts

We currently run Meta ads for RS Energy and Icarus Renewables. Both are active accounts. We are pulling the numbers together for proper write-ups and will publish them here when they are ready, with the workings shown.

Straight answer: we are not going to quote you a solar cost-per-lead figure until we can show you exactly how it was measured.

The adjacent proof we can show you

Renviro Power is a Melbourne heat pump and air conditioning installer, a different trade but the same rebate-driven Australian buyer. Over 61 days we produced 1,041 leads at $16.06 while taking daily spend from $75 to $274.

Why it is relevant: that account was won on rebate-led offers and fast follow-up, which is the same playbook solar needs. Read the full case study.

What a lead should cost you

Published 2026 benchmarks for home-service Meta lead generation, with our measured heat pump account for reference.

Roofing, typical $40–80
Home services average $35–65
Contractor average ~$45
Our HVAC account, measured $16.06

The $16.06 is a heat pump account, not a solar one, and we are labelling it that way on purpose. Treat it as evidence of method, not as a solar forecast. Figures in AUD.

Questions

Solar questions we get asked first

Home-service Meta leads generally land between $35 and $65, with the broad contractor average near $45. Solar sits inside that band but swings hard on how well the offer explains the rebate and whether you are selling panels, batteries or both. We will give you a realistic range for your state on a 15-minute call rather than quoting you someone else's number.
Yes, and it is the whole game in this market. Between federal STCs and the state programs, the gap between the sticker price and what a household actually pays is large and badly understood. The campaign that took a Melbourne heat pump account to $16.06 a lead was built exactly on that - state the real post-rebate number, and be honest that these programs do not stay open forever.
That is the default in solar, and it is an offer problem more than a targeting problem. If your ad says the same thing as the other two quotes, price is the only thing left to compare on. We build the ad so it does some of the selling - the real number, what is actually included, why you rather than the cheapest - and set the follow-up to keep working while they are still comparing.
Yes. Batteries have a different buyer to a straight panel install - usually someone who already has solar and is watching their bill - so they get their own campaign, their own creative and their own exclusions rather than being bolted onto the panel ads.
Yes, and we would rather you kept them running at first. It gives you a live comparison on cost per lead and, more importantly, cost per install. If we cannot beat what you are already paying, you should know that quickly rather than after a six-month contract.
