HOW IT WORKS
JOIN THE
PLATFORM
If you're a rep, join the platform to connect with vetted commercial EPCs nationwide on all those large-scale leads you don't know what to do with. If you're an EPC, join the platform to unlock an unlimited source of pre-qualified leads for just one low monthly payment.
FIND YOUR
PARTNERS
Think of Surge like Match.com, but for solar sales pros & installers. Each deal can either enter a bidding process, so reps get a handful of strong proposals, or go straight to your favorite EPC partner (yes, friends are welcome here)! Surge keeps you organized and creates transparency for everyone.
GET
PAID
With complete end-to-end client journey tracking, vetted banks ready to partner on every deal, and transparency on each number that travels through the Surge platform, reps and installers can generate more revenue than ever before, with none of the typical hassle.
NEW LEAD
Keep track of pre-qualification data & store key files until you’re ready to invite EPCs to the bidding process (or ready to tag a specific partner that you already had in mind for the job).
QUALIFIED LEAD
EPCs, get ready! You’re notified of each lead immediately & invited to upload a feasibility study IF you’re interested in partnering on the deal. If not, no problem; plenty of fish in the sea.
PARTNERSHIP
Reps review feasibility studies, choose 2-3 finalists, & from their proposals, select a partner. Reps can decide whether to copilot the sale, or make introductions with the client & step away.
PITCH & CLOSE
AKA: the fun part. Pitch, negotiate, and connect with financiers who can fund your project. If multiple EPC finalists generated proposals, you can take multiple bids to the client.
CONTRACT
Once the client gives the green light, we generate a contract & get it signed. This means your project is a go, and we can move into the engineering, permitting, & installation phase.
ENGINEERING
Engineering approval. We track this stage to make sure reps have full transparency into their deal progress, regardless of whether or not they chose to copilot the deal with their EPC.
PERMITTING
Permits are submitted. At this stage, we invoice the EPC partner for 20% of the total commission owed, and pay out to the partner rep on the deal (i.e. the originator).
EQUIPMENT
Equipment procurement. Again, we track this stage to make sure reps have full transparency into their deal progress, regardless of whether or not they chose to copilot the deal with their EPC.
INSTALL
Project installation begins. We track every project through to completion, and invoice for the remaining 80% of the commission at this stage so we can pay out what's owed to the rep.
PTO!
Last, but certainly not least, we ensure we flip the "on" switch, so we know exactly how much solar energy we're generating, and therefore how much we're contributing to saving the planet.

NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
We created Surge because we saw a huge gap in the solar industry.
Residential solar is great. Individual energy consumers choosing ownership, resilience, and self-sufficiency, all while contributing to the sustainability of life on this planet – great.
But large organizations – businesses, non-profits, governments – have much more impact.
The average home in the US uses just under 900 kwh per month.
The average commercial property in the US uses over 6,000 kwh per month.
That's nearly 7 times as much energy usage.
Which means that when we convert large organizations from traditional resources to renewable energy...
We are creating nearly 7 times the positive impact on the planet.
[Not to mention the influence larger organizations have on politics, economics, & the collective mindset. When businesses and institutions flip the solar switch, they're not just turning their own solar energy system on, they're turning everyone else on to the possibility and potential of choosing renewable energy.]
That's why Surge was born.
So, join Surge to make more $$$.
Join Surge to install more MW.
Join Surge to save our planet, one panel at a time.

How Solar Energy Can Revolutionize Your Business
How Solar Energy Can Revolutionize Your Business
Why it's important:
Solar energy isn't just about reducing your electricity bills; it's about embracing a cleaner, more sustainable future. With every solar panel installed, we replace fossil fuels with homegrown renewable energy, lessening the need to burn dirty fuels and making a tangible difference in our environment. Here's how:
Improving Local Air Quality: By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, solar energy helps improve air quality and create a healthier environment for communities.
Enhancing Grid Resilience: Diversifying our energy mix with solar power makes our electricity grid more resilient, ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply.
Protecting Consumers from Price Volatility: Solar energy provides a stable energy source that shields consumers from volatile energy prices, offering long-term savings and predictability.
Paving the Way to Energy Independence: Embracing solar energy leads us towards a more sustainable, self-sufficient future, reducing our dependence on non-renewable resources.
Here's what else:
While electricity costs continue to rise, the price of solar power has plummeted by nearly 90% in the last decade. This means that there's never been a better time to make the switch to solar. Key numbers paint a compelling picture:
Savings Over Time: Businesses can save an average of 75% in electricity costs after switching to solar.
Affordable Solutions: Commercial solar projects benefit from greater tax incentives, government credits, grants, and other renewable energy programs, making their bottom line investment much lower than the "sticker price" of their solar system.
Tax Credits: The Investment Tax Credit offers businesses up to 30% in tax credits, offsetting much of the cost of a residential solar installation. Businesses can also receive a production tax credit of up to 2.75 cents per kilowatt hour for the first ten years using their solar system.
What you need to know:
At Surge, our mission is clear: to make clean energy the new normal, by empowering businesses and organizations to flip the solar switch seamlessly.
