Handshake roofing and solar partners

Introduction

In the competitive roofing industry, companies are constantly seeking ways to maximize their profits and minimize costs. However, one common mistake is costing roofing companies up to $100,000 every summer: not integrating solar solutions into their offerings. By overlooking the benefits of partnering with Empower: Glyde Solar, roofing companies are missing out on significant revenue opportunities that their competitors are capitalizing on.

The Overlooked Opportunity

Roofing companies, particularly those in the top 10%, complete an average of 200-300 roofs per year (WebFX). However, only about 50% of these projects convert to solar installations. With an average appointment set earning $2,100 and an average install referral bringing in $1,200, the potential earnings are substantial. By not offering solar solutions, roofing companies could be leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table each year.


Why This Mistake is Costly

Missed Revenue Opportunities

Each year, roofing companies complete numerous projects without capitalizing on the additional income from solar installations. For example, if a company completes 250 roofs per year and only 50% convert to solar, they could be earning an additional $150,000 annually from install referrals and appointment sets alone.

Lack of Competitive Edge

The roofing market is highly competitive. Companies that offer additional services, such as solar installations, have a significant advantage over those that do not. By ignoring solar partnerships, roofing companies are giving their competitors an edge in the market.

Decreased Customer Satisfaction

Homeowners prefer convenience and value. Being able to get both a new roof and a solar energy system from one trusted provider simplifies the process and increases customer satisfaction. Happy customers are more likely to refer friends and family, leading to more business and higher profits.
