For solar reps
Solar reps: get paid for the doors that don't buy solar
You hear no more than anyone in door-to-door. The roof is too shaded, the homeowner is moving in two years, or the credit is not there. Most of those conversations end with a closed door and nothing to show for it.
But every no to solar can still be a yes to something else: a roofer, an HVAC company, a pest pro or a window installer. Pin the house in Pin to Pro, the homeowner opts in, and you get paid when that job closes.
What to look for at the door
You already study the roof, the meter and the attic. These are the cues that turn a lost solar deal into a referral.
An old or damaged roof
Curling shingles, granule loss in the gutters or a roof older than 15 years. Panels should not go on that roof, but a roofer would love the call.
Refer: Roofing
A loud or struggling AC unit
If the condenser is rattling, the homeowner keeps the blinds closed all summer, or the bill spike is in July, the real problem may be the HVAC system.
Refer: HVAC
Ant trails, wasp nests or droppings
You spend time near eaves and garages. Ant trails along the slab or droppings by the water heater are an easy pest referral.
Refer: Pest Control
Drafty or fogged windows
Fogged double panes and homeowners complaining about drafts are the energy story solar cannot fix but a window pro can.
Refer: Windows
No cameras, no doorbell, a recent break-in
If the homeowner mentions package theft or a neighbor's break-in, send them to a security pro.
Refer: Security
How much you can earn
When a referred job closes, the vendor pays a referral fee of $200 for jobs under $4,000, or 5% of the sold amount for $4,000 and up. Pin to Pro keeps a 10% platform fee and you keep 90%.
Jobs under $4,000
$200 flat
Jobs $4,000 and up
5% of the sold amount
The roof was too old for panels
Sold at $14,000
You keep $630
You refer a roofer, who sells a $14,000 replacement. 5% is a $700 fee, the 10% platform fee is $70, and $630 goes to you. Once the new roof is on, the homeowner may be ready for your solar pitch too.
The homeowner mentioned ants
Sold at $650 / year
You keep $180
A pest plan worth $650 a year is under $4,000, so the fee is a flat $200. After the $20 platform fee, you keep $180 from a door that said no to solar.
Signing up is free. There are no quotas and you never pay to submit a referral.
How it works
STEP 1
Pin the house
After the solar conversation ends, drop a pin in the app, choose the service the homeowner needs and note what you saw on the roof or in the yard.
STEP 2
The homeowner opts in by email
Pin to Pro sends the homeowner a secure email to confirm they want to be contacted. Vendors only receive homeowners who say yes.
STEP 3
Get paid when the job closes
A nearby pro closes the job and reports the real sold amount. Your 90% share is added to your earnings and paid out through Stripe.

Can I refer a roofing job and still sell solar to the same homeowner later?
Yes. Referring a roofer often sets up your solar sale, since panels should go on a roof with plenty of life left. Pin to Pro does not restrict you from coming back once the roof is done.
What if my solar company also sells roofing?
Then keep roofing in-house and refer the services your company does not offer, such as HVAC, pest control or windows. Pin to Pro is for the needs your own product cannot meet.
How long do solar reps usually wait to get paid on a referral?
It depends on the trade. Pest and HVAC repairs often close in days, while roofing insurance claims can take weeks. You can follow each referral's status in the app, and your share becomes available once the vendor's payment clears.
Do I need to collect the homeowner's email at the door?
Yes. The homeowner confirms through an email link, which is what makes the lead verified. A name, address, email and phone number are all it takes.
Is there a limit to how many referrals I can submit?
No. Some solar reps submit several referrals a day from the doors that said no. Quality matters more than volume, since only homeowners who opt in and buy earn you a fee.

Apply in minutes. Once approved, start pinning referrals from the app.
