Solar CPCs run $30-$80+ per click, and the average homeowner requests quotes from 3-5 installers. The first company to call dominates the conversation. Lexi calls every Google Ads lead in under 60 seconds, turning expensive clicks into booked site surveys.
Understanding the PPC economics of solar helps you see why instant callback is not optional - it is the difference between profit and waste.
Typical CPC Range
$30 - $80+
Solar search intent ranges from early-stage research ("are solar panels worth it") to purchase-ready ("solar installation quote [city]"). The highest-converting Google Ads target homeowners actively comparing installers, not those reading educational content.
Top Keywords
High-intent search terms
Solar landing pages should include a savings calculator or quick quiz ("See your estimated savings") to increase form completion rates. Always ask for the phone number - not just email - because instant callback is where conversion happens. Include utility company logos to build trust.
You are paying premium CPCs for high-intent clicks. Here is what happens to most of them.
Keywords like "solar panel installation cost" and "solar companies near me" cost $40-$80 per click. With a typical 5-10% form conversion rate, your actual cost per lead often exceeds $400.
Solar shoppers are methodical researchers. They open 3-5 installer websites from the same Google search, fill out every form, and commit to whichever company calls first and sounds competent.
Tax credit deadlines, net metering policy changes, and seasonal promotions create massive search spikes. When the federal ITC deadline approaches, your inbound leads can triple in a week.
The solar sales cycle runs 30-90 days from first contact to signed contract. If you lose the initial callback race, you never enter the consideration set - no amount of follow-up emails will recover that lead.
Lexi calls every Google Ads lead in under 60 seconds. Here is what that means for solar businesses.

When leads are called within 60 seconds (MIT study)
Here is why solar companies using HelloAinora get more from their Google Ads budget.
Solar buyers make a mental shortlist within the first 24 hours. Lexi ensures you are the first voice they hear - in under 60 seconds - while they are still on Google comparing providers. That first-mover advantage persists through the entire sales cycle.
Lexi asks whether they own the home, their average electricity bill, roof age and shading conditions, and whether they are interested in purchase or lease. Your sales reps only spend time with homeowners who actually qualify for installation.
When a new state incentive launches or tax credit deadlines approach, search volume spikes 3-5x. Lexi scales to unlimited concurrent callbacks while your team focuses on site surveys and closings.
Solar companies typically pay $400-$800 per qualified lead from Google Ads. When Lexi converts 30-40% more form fills into booked site surveys, your cost per signed contract drops proportionally - without increasing ad spend.
