Solar marketing that earns trust first

Solar marketing for installers and retailers whose buyers research for weeks: honest content, real installs and follow-up that wins the quote.

Partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month

Solar marketing for buyers who have heard every pitch

Rock Solid Marketing provides solar marketing for installers, retailers and battery specialists who want to win customers on trust. Your buyers have had the door-knocker, the cold call and the ad promising a $0 power bill. They research for weeks, compare three quotes and ask their neighbours before they sign.

We help you be the company that explains things plainly. That means clear pages on systems, batteries and how quotes work, photos of your own installs, genuine reviews and follow-up emails while people decide. Savings figures, rebates and accreditations come from you and are checked before anything is published.

Partnership plans start from $4,500 + GST a month. The first step is a free 30-minute discovery call.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. Buyers lump you in with the door-knockers and cheap 'free solar' offers.

    What we do

    We show your own team, your own installs and your after-sales service, so you look like a local business that will still answer the phone in five years.

  2. People ask for a quote, then go quiet for weeks.

    What we do

    We set up a short email series for people who opted in: what to compare between quotes, battery questions answered and recent installs nearby.

  3. Your ads promise savings you can't stand behind.

    What we do

    We write ads around facts you can prove, never promised savings figures, because the Australian Consumer Law treats misleading savings claims seriously.

  4. Your website talks about panels, not about the buyer's roof and power bill.

    What we do

    We build pages that answer the questions buyers actually ask: sizing, batteries, roof types, timelines and what happens after install.

What we do for solar companies

Solar company marketing built on proof

Each piece helps a careful buyer trust you enough to book a site visit, then choose your quote.

Pages that answer real questions

System sizing, batteries, roof types, warranties and what a site visit involves, written plainly so buyers come to the quote already understanding the options.

Found in your service area

Your Google Business Profile, local search and pages for the towns you install in, so people searching nearby see a local installer, not a call centre.

Ads that stay honest

Google Ads and Meta ads built around facts you can prove, aimed at homeowners in your area. You set the budget and pay the platforms directly.

Email while they decide

A welcome series and newsletter for people who opted in, sent with your details and an unsubscribe as the Spam Act 2003 requires.

Install stories with permission

Short stories from finished installs with photos and the owner's own words, published only with their approval. Future buyers see real roofs in their own area.

Reviews you can trust

A simple way to ask every customer for a review after install, and replies to every review. No fake or filtered reviews.

Who it’s for

Is it the right fit?

Who it’s for

  • Solar installers selling to homes and farms
  • Solar and battery retailers
  • Commercial solar specialists
  • Electrical contractors adding solar and batteries

Not a fit

  • You want ads promising specific savings or $0 bills
  • You rely on cold calling or door-knocking leads
  • You can't supply your accreditation and warranty details

How it starts

Digital marketing for solar companies starts with your claims

Before we write a word, we collect what you can prove: your accreditation, product warranties, install numbers, service area and how you handle after-sales support. Anything we can't confirm with you stays off the page.

Then we look at where your best customers came from and what they asked before signing. That shapes the pages, ads and emails. Solar digital marketing works best when every channel tells the same honest story and points to the same next step: a site visit.

  • Accreditation and warranty details from you
  • Questions buyers ask before signing
  • Service area and install types mapped
  • Savings and rebate wording checked
  • A plan pointing to one next step

Only claims you can back up.

Some of our recent work

View all portfolio

We approached Rock Solid Marketing to build our online store for our retail division and to look after our existing website. The professionalism of Sean and his team from day one was incredible, they took the time to sit down with us to discuss our exact requirements and they offered suggestions for the build which would improve the overall running of the store.

The finished result of our online store is nothing short of fantastic- it integrates with our point of sale software, it is very easy to navigate, and presents and operates as a professionally made web store should. Since completion and hand over, the back up support we receive from Rock Solid Marketing is remarkable- nothing is too much trouble and we can contact the team at any time with any questions we may have. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sean, Janine and the team from Rock Solid Marketing for building or revamping a website, creating an online store to suit your business or with online marketing.

All FAQs

Our solar marketing runs inside partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month, covering your website, search, ads management, email and reporting. Ad spend is paid to the platforms on top. If tidying your Google Business Profile and asking every customer for a review will do the job for now, we'll tell you before we quote.

Market solar by being the most trustworthy option a buyer finds. Explain systems and batteries plainly, show your own installs and team, collect genuine reviews and follow up while people compare quotes. Avoid big savings promises: buyers have heard them all, and misleading claims can breach the Australian Consumer Law.

For panels, batteries and inverters, sell the outcome and the service, not the spec sheet alone. Show how each product suits a type of home or business, what the warranty covers and who supports it locally. Use product brand names accurately, and only claim what the manufacturer and your accreditation allow.

Make the next step small and safe. Offer a no-pressure site visit, explain what you'll check on the roof and switchboard, and send a written quote that's easy to compare. Then follow up with useful information, not pressure. Cautious buyers choose the installer who answered their questions best.

Share content that helps people decide. That means what to compare between quotes, how batteries work, what happens on install day, recent installs nearby and seasonal reminders about system checks. Keep each email short with one link. Send only to people who opted in, with your details and an unsubscribe, as the Spam Act 2003 requires.

It's the online side of winning solar customers: your website, Google Business Profile, search, Google and Meta ads, email and reviews. For solar, it also means managing claims carefully, because savings, rebates and accreditations need to be accurate. Solar company marketing works best as one joined-up plan rather than separate suppliers.

You need people who understand regional buyers and won't make claims you can't back up. We're honest about it: we're a regional marketing agency, not a solar-only shop, and we don't claim a list of solar clients. Unlike many solar marketing companies selling leads, we build your own name, website and reviews.

Beyond ads: website pages for systems and batteries, local search, Google Business Profile management, review requests, email newsletters, install stories and monthly reporting. For a solar marketing agency, the goal is a pipeline you own, not leads you rent. Everything runs through one account manager, with no lock-in contract.
