Introducer · UK · Est. 2026

The bridge between commercial properties and solar installers.

SolarBridge connects councils, schools, housing associations, and farms with Path Energy — the commercial solar installer with 15-year warranties and 25-year performance guarantees. We generate the leads. They install the panels.

The Network

Warm introductions, not cold calls.

Most lead generation firms use paid ads to attract inquiries. SolarBridge uses existing relationships — council officers, housing association contacts, school facilities managers — to get introductions that ads can never replicate.

Why SolarBridge

Built for part-time. Designed to scale.

Exclusive Leads Only

Every lead is exclusive. We do not share contact data with multiple installers. Your relationships — your revenue.

Pre-Qualified Properties

Roof ownership confirmed. Energy spend verified. Decision-maker contact obtained. We qualify before handover — no time wasted on cold leads.

Established Buyer

Path Energy already has a relationship with SolarBridge. No cold outreach to installers — just qualified leads delivered to a trusted partner.

No Upfront Investment

No ad spend. No website build. No CRM subscriptions required. Warm outreach through existing contacts is the entire channel.

Trusted Relationships

TrustMark-registered PAS 2035 coordination background gives credibility with property owners that cold lead gen firms cannot match.

Clean handoff

Path Energy handles survey, design, installation, and aftercare. You handle the introduction. No liability, no installation risk.

How It Works

From relationship to revenue in four steps.

01

Identify the property

Using existing council, housing association, school, and farm contacts, we identify buildings with large roof areas, high energy spend, and clear solar potential.

02

Qualify the lead

Property ownership confirmed. Roof size assessed. Energy spend estimated. Decision-maker name and contact obtained. Only leads meeting minimum criteria are progressed.

03

Introduce to Path Energy

Qualified lead is introduced under the terms of the SolarBridge–Path Energy agreement. Path Energy conducts survey, design, and installation.

04

Payment on completion

Referral fee is paid on confirmed installation completion. Typical commercial solar installation takes 2–3 weeks from survey to switch-on.

Target Sectors

Four sectors. Four networks. One model.

Each of these sectors has distinct property portfolios, energy demands, and decision-making chains. SolarBridge has direct relationships in all four — and uses them to identify solar-ready properties before competitors do.

Local councils & public buildings

Leisure centres, offices, car parks. EPC compliance pressure drives action. Decision-makers are facilities managers — already in John's network.

Housing associations

Large roof portfolios across multiple sites. Energy strategy increasingly includes solar. TrustMark credibility matters here.

Schools and colleges

High daytime energy use, large roof areas, sustainability commitments. MAT decision-making can be slow but contracts are large.

Farms and estates

High energy demand for refrigeration, grain drying, livestock systems. Often south-facing roofs, minimal planning constraints. Owner-operated — faster decisions.

Commercial solar is a land grab.
The window is now.

Less than 5% of UK commercial and industrial rooftops have solar. The government's Solar Taskforce wants that number to double. Energy prices are volatile. EPC Minimum Standards are forcing landlords to act. Annual Investment Allowance lets businesses write off the full cost against corporation tax. The property owners who move first will lock in 25 years of bill savings. SolarBridge exists to find them — and connect them with the installer who can make it happen.
