Solar installers usually take a deposit before ordering panels, then further payments as the job goes on. Some also let customers pay for a system over time. A payments app that makes deposits, stage payments and regular payments clear and easy to track can win installers, and every household they work with sees your app.

Talk to installers and customers

Ask local solar installers and households who have had systems fitted:

Installers work with electricians, builders and supply shops. One installer on your app can bring you others in the local trade.
