For solar installation businesses in Australia
Skycast is a managed solar lead generation service for Australian installers. Your branded solar and battery quote calculator runs on your own domain, supported by Google and Meta ad campaigns. Homeowners explore system options and estimated savings before sending an enquiry to your business.
Skycast is built and managed by Maker Street. You run the business, we run the platform.
We white-label Skycast, build the ads, manage the campaigns, and run the conversion campaign behind them. All your ads, multiple campaigns, and the landing pages. One funnel, built to get you leads.
Skycast rebranded to your business: your logo, your colours, your domain. To the homeowner it's your calculator, not a third-party tool. We build it, host it, and keep it working.
We create the creative and run the campaigns: Meta and Google, refreshed monthly, managed for you. Supply your own creative if you have it. You fund the ad spend, we recommend $3–5k a month, and it's yours to scale up or down.
Skycast is the top-of-funnel campaign: homeowners price their own system and enter your pixel funnel. A conversion campaign and landing pages then retarget them until the lead lands in your inbox or CRM.
Every solar ad ends the same way: a form, then a salesperson on the phone. Skycast lets the homeowner price the job themselves on your website. By the time they talk to you, they're qualified, informed, and anchored to your numbers.
Your ad takes them to the calculator on your domain. They type their address and see their own roof, not a stock photo.
Panel layout on their roof, entry, mid and premium pricing tiers, a battery-size slider, and savings modelling. Self-serve, no pressure.
A qualified enquiry with their address, system preferences and contact details goes straight to your inbox or CRM. You quote a customer who already wants the job.
Try the live Skycast solar and battery calculator. The first install, on a working solar business.
We run this exact funnel for our own solar business. These numbers are from our first six weeks.
One business, one service area, six weeks. Your results will depend on your market, offer and budget.
A lead engine only works if you're not bidding against another installer running the same one. So we don't sell your area twice.
One installer per service area. When you licence Skycast, no competing installer in your area can. First in wins. If your area is taken, it's taken until that installer leaves.
That also means the retargeting audiences and demand data your campaigns build aren't feeding anyone else's pipeline.
We work for free until they start flowing in.
We can offer that because the mechanism is proven and the maths is simple: ads reach homeowners, the calculator converts them, the leads land with you.
Three short steps. Tell us about your business and where you're at, and we'll come back to you with whether your area is open and a walkthrough of the platform on a live install.
Skycast is a managed solar lead generation service for solar installation businesses in Australia. It combines a quote calculator branded to your business, Google and Meta advertising, and lead delivery to your inbox or CRM. Maker Street builds, hosts and manages the platform.
Skycast generates enquiries through your own branded calculator and campaigns. Leads go directly to your business, and Skycast licences one installer per service area. Your tracking pixels sit in your own ad accounts, so your leads and retargeting audiences belong to you.
The Skycast quote calculator rebranded to your business and running on your own domain, conversion pixels installed on the calculator and your main site, managed ad campaigns pointed at it, and every lead delivered to your inbox or CRM as it lands. Plus retargeting audiences and a map of where demand is concentrating in your area.
It's a managed service. You don't host, configure or maintain anything.
We do. Two Meta campaigns and one Google campaign, managed by Maker Street, with AI creative refreshed monthly. If you have creative of your own (job photos, van shots, a face people know) we'll happily use it.
You fund the ad spend on top of the licence. We recommend $3,000 to $5,000 a month to start; it's your budget and you can move it up or down.
Your branded calculator. They enter their address, see their own roof, get a panel layout, choose between entry, mid and premium pricing tiers, slide a battery size, and see modelled savings. It reads as part of your website because it is.
There's a live one at skycast.arlite.co if you want to try it as a homeowner would.
We licence one installer per service area, first in wins. Put your area in the form above and we'll tell you within one business day whether it's open. If it is, it stays yours for as long as you're on the platform.
Days, not months. Rebranding the platform, standing it up on your domain and installing the tracking is our work, not yours. You supply a logo, brand colours and a DNS record. Campaigns go live once tracking is verified.
No leads in a week? We work for free until they start flowing in.
Yes. All of it. The leads are yours the moment they land. The pixels sit in your own ad accounts, so the retargeting audiences they build belong to you. They keep working for you even if you ever leave. That's the opposite of buying from an aggregator, where the audience and the data stay with them.
It depends on your service area and the volume you're after, so we price it on the demo call rather than publishing a number that's wrong for half the people reading it. Ad spend is separate and paid by you. We recommend $3–5k a month.
Book the demo and you'll have a real figure for your area inside the first conversation.
