Selling their own specialist services to solar companies

Solar companies design and fit panels, batteries and related systems for homes and businesses. Many are growing firms with a sales team and fitting crews, so they buy lead generation, finance options, equipment and software to keep both sides busy.

Freelancers usually find work through their network, job platforms and word of mouth, which makes income uneven. A small lead database of your own gives you a steady list of companies to approach when the pipeline runs dry.

The solar companies that need their own specialist services are listed publicly. What most freelancers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What freelancers run into with solar companies

Outreach tools charge per credit or per seat, which is hard to justify on a freelance budget.

Riftjaw has no credits and a free plan to start, so you can build your first list without a card.

You forget who you emailed last month and risk writing to the same company twice.

Every contact has a status and a history of every mail, so you see at a glance who heard from you.

Solar firms change fast, so lists go out of date.

Every record keeps its source and date, and you can archive firms that closed or merged so they are no longer mailed.

Battery specialists and panel only fitters need different offers.

Add a Batteries offered field and save a filter on it, then write a campaign for each group.

How to open a mail to solar companies

Pick one angle per campaign and write it once, with placeholders like {company|your team} for the details.

  • Talk about stock availability and lead times, because delayed panels or batteries hold up fitting crews.
  • Lead with a lower cost per booked survey for firms that depend on paid marketing.
  • Offer tools that speed up system design and quotes, since homeowners compare several offers.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, hello@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
