Platform at a glance
Same equipment. Same warranties. Wildly different prices.
Sunlink was founded on a single observation from more than a decade inside the residential solar industry: the product is effectively standardized, and the pricing is not. Companies competing for the same roof install the same Tier 1 panels, the same Tesla Powerwall 3, the same inverters, backed by the same 25-year manufacturer warranties and the same handful of national lenders. Quote the same home three times and the numbers can differ by tens of thousands of dollars.
That spread is not equipment. It is sales overhead, lead acquisition, dealer fees, and commission stacked on top of hardware that costs every provider roughly the same. Homeowners are left comparing proposals built to be incomparable, with no way to tell whether they negotiated well or simply got a cheaper salesperson.
Solar companies already run the full technology stack to underwrite these systems: satellite roof design, production modeling, live equipment pricing, credit and financing, permitting, and installer scheduling. That stack was always pointed at the sales floor. We pointed it at the homeowner.
Sunlink consolidates it into a three-step transaction. Design your system, choose how you pay, place the order. One curated system specification, one transparent price, and a hand-selected installer network that is licensed, insured, background-checked, and scored on workmanship before and after every project. No appointments, no negotiation, no reason to wonder what the number should have been.
How homeowners purchase solar today
Solar is still distributed the way it was in 2012. Homeowners are reached at the door, by phone, or through a lead form, then routed into a scheduled appointment. Almost no provider in the country publishes pricing on its website, and virtually none will produce a real quote without a conversation first. Solar should be bought, not sold.
Pricing is not published
No public price list, no configurator, no instant estimate. The number only exists after an appointment, which makes comparison shopping nearly impossible.
The tools are separated
Satellite roof design, production modeling, equipment pricing, credit approval, and installer scheduling each live in a different platform. None of them are homeowner facing.
The agent is the integration layer
Because those systems do not talk to each other, an agent manually assembles the design, the price, and the financing. The homeowner sees a PDF at the end, not the process.
Timelines stretch for weeks
Multiple appointments, revised proposals, and follow-up calls turn a standardized product into a multi-week negotiation.
Why solar has not moved online until now
Selling solar requires five systems to agree at once: roof design and shading analysis, energy production modeling, real-time equipment and labor pricing, lender underwriting, and installer capacity. Historically each was a separate vendor with a separate login, built for sales teams rather than consumers. Nobody had connected them end to end, so the quote had to be assembled by hand.
Sunlink integrated that stack into one checkout. Your roof is designed from satellite imagery, production and savings are modeled against your utility rate, equipment and installation are priced instantly, financing is approved in the same flow, and a vetted installer is assigned on order. Design, price, and payment move together instead of being handed between systems.
