SolarSesame Lead Partner Program · For Businesses & Professionals

Earn $2,000 flat per referral

Make the introduction. We handle the solar project. Earn $2,000 after installation—and unlock faster payments after your first 5 completed installs.

Built for business partners who send referrals consistently — many partners refer again and again.

$2,000 flat per referral

Paid after installation for your first 5 installs. Then get paid when your referred customer signs the contract and submits all required documents.

Stay updated by your project manager

Your SolarSesame project manager keeps you informed about your referral’s progress through installation.

You refer. We do the rest.

No solar expertise needed. We handle consultations, proposals, financing, permits and installation.

Every customer we’ve installed solar and a battery for has been really happy with the work — that’s what these ratings are built on.

How you get paid

Three steps. Zero selling.

01

Introduce

Connect us with a single-family homeowner, a business owner, or a non-profit like a church or school that could save money on its electricity bills.

02

We close

Our team consults, designs, finances, permits and installs.

03

You get paid

Earn $2,000 after installation for your first 5 installs. After that, get paid at customer contract signing and required document submission.

A clear reward. A clear fit.

Same $2,000 reward. Faster payments after 5 installs.

No “up to.” Your reward stays flat—the payment milestone changes once you’ve completed your first 5 referral installations.

Referrals 1–5

$2,000 after installation

  • $2,000 flat — no tiers and no “up to.”
  • Paid once we complete the installation.
  • A completed installation is the only milestone.

Fast Pay · Referral 6 onwards

$2,000 at signing + documents

  • The same $2,000 flat reward.
  • Paid once the customer signs the contract.
  • And submits all required documents.
  • Both are required — you don’t wait for installation.

Who should you refer?

A single-family home, a commercial business, or a 501(c) non-profit like a church or school that would save money on its electricity bills. Not every property is a fit for solar — these are the basics our team checks before moving a project forward.

Owners, not renters

Refer the property owner, not a renter or a tenant.

A home, a business, or a non-profit

Single-family homes, commercial businesses and 501(c) non-profits like churches and schools that would save money on their electricity bills. Condos and townhomes are not eligible.

An unshaded roof

The building needs a roof that is not shaded and is suitable for solar.

A way to pay for solar

The owner must be able to pay for the system. If they choose financing, they must qualify for it.

An introduction alone does not earn a reward. Fast Pay begins after 5 completed referral installations and requires both the customer’s signed contract and submission of all required documents. Read the referral terms.
