Refer. Track. Get Rewarded.


Imagine this.


Your client has just signed up for solar. They're excited and motivated—and already talking to their neighbors about it. What if that conversation could earn them money, track their referrals, and keep them informed about their own installation, all from one app?


Wondering how? Well, that’s where My Client Base comes in.


This isn’t just another post-installation tool. It’s a smart, easy-to-use referral and project tracking app that lets your customers:


  • Refer friends and family with a tap.
  • Track their solar journey in real time.
  • Earn rewards automatically (with zero follow-up required).

And for your solar business? Less time spent fielding status calls, more visibility into client engagement, and a steady stream of high-quality solar referrals you didn’t have to chase.


Let’s break down why solar referrals are one of solar's most powerful growth levers and how the My Client Base app enables you to leverage them like never before.


Turn Clients into Referral Engines



Turn Clients into Referral Engines


You’ve done the hard part, won the client, closed the deal, and started the install. But here’s the truth:


The optimal time to expand your solar business is after installing the panels.


Why? Because solar customers talk.


  • They discuss their solar savings. 
  • They share their thoughts on the speed of the solar installation. 
  • They consider whether they would recommend your solar company to others.


And guess what? People place greater trust in those conversations than in any advertisement you could create.

This is why referrals hold immense value in the solar industry. 


But there’s a catch: Even your most satisfied customers won’t refer others if the process feels burdensome.


They prefer not to complete a form, contact a representative, or wait weeks to discover if they qualify for anything. They seek a straightforward, quick, and automatic solution.


That’s precisely what My Client Base delivers!


It transforms satisfied clients into enthusiastic advocates by simplifying the process to:


  • Share a solar referral link with one tap
  • Track every solar referral and reward in real time
  • Stay connected with your brand long after solar installation

Eliminate manual follow-ups, avoid lost leads, and experience a seamless system operating in the background, driving your growth as you concentrate on installations.


Did you know?


A striking 50% of respondents revealed that they trust personal recommendations more than any other form of advertising. This highlights the significant power of authentic word-of-mouth compared to traditional marketing strategies. 


How the Referral System Works Inside the App



How the Referral System Works Inside the App


How does it actually work?


Simple. Fast. Friction-free. 


Here’s how your solar clients transition from “just chatting about solar” to getting paid for it—all through the

My Client Base app:


Step 1: Tap


Once homeowners log into the My Client Base app, they’ll see a built-in “Refer & Earn” feature front and center (no digging around, no confusion).


Step 2: Share


They quickly tap the “Share” button to receive a unique solar referral link. From there, they can:


  • Share it with friends and family with just one tap via group chat, text, email, or post it on social media.

The best part? No forms. No paperwork. No phone calls.


Step 3: Earn


When someone signs up through their link and completes their solar installation, the referrer:


  • Gets notified.
  • Sees the referral status change in real-time.
  • Earns rewards they can track inside the app.

It’s not just clever, it’s irresistibly engaging in a positive sense. This automated transparency keeps clients returning, talking about your brand, and staying engaged long after the panels are up. It’s a win-win for both you and your clients!


They get rewarded, and you get new solar leads without spending extra dollars on expensive ads.


Why Project Tracking Is the Key to Client Happiness (and Solar Referrals)


Let’s be honest: satisfied clients refer. Frustrated clients... call support.


What is the secret to turning every solar installation into a 5-star experience? Clear, consistent communication.


That’s exactly where My Client Base excels.


1. Silence Is the #1 Client Complaint


Most homeowners are okay with waiting; they hate not knowing what’s happening. You’ve likely heard these questions countless times:


  • “What’s the status of my project?”
  • “What is the status of the permit approval?"
  • “When is the installation happening?”

When clients don't know what’s happening, they become anxious. Anxious clients don’t give referrals; they make calls—a lot.


2. Real-Time Milestone Updates = Happy, Confident Clients


With My Client Base, your clients are always in the loop. The app updates them at each stage of the journey:


  • Permit submitted 
  • Permit approved 
  • Installation scheduled 
  • Final activation

Each step triggers a notification directly on their phone, similar to tracking a package, but for solar.


3. The Happiness Loop


When clients are informed, they develop trust in your team. 


When they trust you, they share their positive solar experiences. 


When they share, you get high-quality, pre-qualified solar leads. 


Better tracking leads to happier clients, which results in more referrals. That’s the solar growth loop, and the My Client Base app effortlessly powers it.


My Client Base: Your Referral & Tracking Hub


It’s not just an app—it’s your solar business’s silent growth engine.


My Client Base integrates real-time solar project tracking with an effortless referral system into one streamlined platform. It keeps your customers informed, engaged, and eager to share without burdening your team.


Here’s how it becomes your all-in-one client communication and referral tool:


Track Projects, Build Trust


From the day a customer signs their contract, My Client Base kicks in:


  • Timeline visibility for every stage of the installation.
  • Instant alerts when milestones are hit
  • A direct line to the solar provider without the need to call.

Customers experience a sense of confidence and support at every step. Eliminate guesswork. Only transparency remains.

  • They’re more likely to recommend you again (and again)

4. Full Visibility

Pro Tips to Maximize Results


Pro Tips to Maximize Results


Want to help your clients (and your company) get the most from My Client Base? Share these simple yet powerful tips to make the app work harder without additional effort.


  1. Encourage Early Referrals


Once clients sign the contract, encourage them to capture their excitement of going solar right after their installation is scheduled! 


Early momentum can quickly turn into a steady flow of solar leads!


Why? Immediately after going solar, people are most enthusiastic and more likely to share their experience. 


  1. Mention Rewards in Every Follow-Up


A simple “Refer and Earn” reminder in every follow-up message can motivate them to act. You’re providing value rather than delivering a sales pitch.


  2. Don't just tell, show how it works.  


During site visits or installation days, physically show the client how the app works. A 30-second demo can boost immediate referrals!


  3. Recognize and reward the top referrers


You can effortlessly identify top referrals, connect with them to express gratitude, or provide an exclusive bonus or top referral badges to keep them motivated and loyal.


  4. Remind Clients They’re Helping Friends, Too


Sharing a referral link goes beyond earning rewards. It aids friends and family by: 


  •  Saving money 
  •  Reducing their carbon footprint 
  •  Helping them find a trusted provider


Everyone wins, and that message generates more referrals than rewards alone.


Conclusion


Solar installation is merely the beginning. The true power lies in what happens later.


With My Client Base, you’ll keep clients informed, reduce support tickets, and unlock a powerful, low-cost referral engine that drives long-term growth.


One app manages everything, tracking, communication, and referrals, without adding more work.
