For Installers and EPCs

A commercial team you can hire by the function, not the headcount.

Three integrated service lines available three ways. Built for residential installers expanding into commercial, and for commercial operators that need stronger pipeline, sharper incentives, or tighter delivery.

01
Commercial Sales & Marketing

A commercial sales team you can hire by the function.

Solara Pro generates and closes commercial solar and storage opportunities for residential installers expanding into commercial, and for existing commercial operators that need more pipeline. We act as a seasoned commercial sales team, not a generic agency.

Commercial buyers expect stronger economics, better financing guidance, and more technical credibility than residential workflows typically produce. We bring those in from day one.

What is included
  • Lead generation against your defined target markets
  • Bankable proposals with defensible economics
  • Pipeline management and buyer conversations
  • Performance-based compensation structure
  • Direct integration with your existing CRM
02
Project Development & Incentive Optimization

Incentive capture and financing are where commercial projects are won or lost.

We structure commercial solar and storage projects around the financing and incentive pathways that move them from interesting to bankable. That starts with C-PACE relationships and ends with depreciation modeling buyers, lenders, and asset owners will accept.

Incentives, tax rules, and program eligibility change. We validate each project against current program guidance before pricing reaches the buyer.

Where we add value
  • Distributor-level equipment pricing across modules, inverters, racking, battery storage, and EV charging
  • Financing partner network covering PPA, lease, C-PACE, construction debt, and tax equity
  • Battery storage analysis across CAISO, PJM, and MISO grid operators with NFPA 855 and UL 9540 review
  • C-PACE financing coordination up to 100% over 15 to 30 years
  • ITC and bonus-credit timing strategy coordinated with your tax counsel
  • Storage ITC adders for Energy Communities, Domestic Content, and Low-Income
  • California Self-Generation Incentive Program application management
  • Five-year accelerated bonus depreciation modeling under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System

In the field

Senior commercial capacity on every project. No junior hand-offs.

Tom Schwing, Connor Haney, and Jeff Cohen run every engagement directly. You get the team that has originated, financed, and delivered commercial solar across the country, not the team that is still learning it.

03
Business Operations Consulting

Build a solar business that can scale without breaking its internal systems.

Operations work runs alongside the sales and development engagement. We tighten the financial and operating systems that keep a growing solar business from outrunning its ability to deliver.

Typical use cases: founder buried in reactive operations, team growth outpacing systems, commercial sales rising faster than delivery, repeated handoff friction between sales, design, and ops.

What we improve
  • Profit First cash-flow systems and visibility
  • Workflow audits and bottleneck removal
  • Capacity planning and growth modeling
  • Goal clarity and implementation accountability
  • Commercial expansion readiness for residential installers
04
How We Work

Available three ways. By the project, by the month, or by the deals we bring you.

Engage any of the three service lines as fixed-scope project work, as a monthly fractional desk, or through a project origination partnership where we bring the deal and share the upside. Combine tiers when the engagement calls for it.
