Cutting install costs for growing solar companies
Email Template
Hi {{first_name}},
I noticed {{company_name}} has been expanding its residential solar footprint. Scaling a small installation business while keeping margins healthy is one of the toughest challenges in this industry, especially with rising module costs and tighter labor markets.
We work with solar companies your size to streamline the quoting-to-install pipeline, reducing soft costs by an average of 18%. That means fewer hours spent on proposals, faster permitting turnaround, and more installs per crew per month.
Would it make sense to have a 15-minute call next week to see if there is a fit? 8-12% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Reference their specific service area or recent expansion into a new region
- Mention a recent project or installation milestone visible on their website or social media
- Note any ITC or state incentive deadlines that create urgency for their pipeline
- Comment on their team size relative to their project volume
When to Use
When reaching out to founders or CEOs of small solar installers or developers who are actively growing but likely struggling with operational efficiency.
When NOT to Use
When the company is a brand-new startup with no installed projects yet, as cost-cutting messaging will not resonate.
