How to grow your payments app with solar panel cleaners
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Solar panel cleaners wash panels on homes, farms, warehouses and shop roofs, usually with water-fed poles and soft brushes, and some fit mesh to keep birds out from under the panels. The customer is often out when the work is done, and many book a clean once or twice a year. A payments app that sends a link when the job is finished, and makes repeat visits easy to pay for, can win solar panel cleaners, and every customer that pays them sees your app.
Talk to solar panel cleaners
Ask local solar panel cleaners:
- How do customers pay when they are out?
- Do many customers book a yearly visit?
- Do you fit bird mesh, and do you take a deposit for it?
- How long do business customers take to pay?
Get paid when the job is done
A link sent as soon as the panels are clean lets the customer pay from wherever they are, so the cleaner isn't chasing payment later.
Make repeat visits easy
Customers who book a yearly or twice-yearly clean can pay by link each time, so the cleaner keeps them without extra paperwork.
Grow through home and roof trades
Solar panel cleaners work alongside solar installers, gutter cleaners and roofers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each cleaner can bring more of them onto it.
