COMPOUND SOLAR / PARTNERSHIPS

Better enquiries.
Better conversations.

Compound is building a route from weekly energy and solar articles, through practical calculators and buying guides, to homeowners who choose to request a solar installation quote. Become the exclusive sponsored installer for your counties. One fixed fee, no installation commissions.

Founders offer: pay €750 per county when your approved subscription begins to secure January–March 2027. Coverage for the remainder of 2026 is included free. The homeowner matching service is still being built, so checkout is not yet active.

THE COMPOUND APPROACH

The first conversation starts before the phone rings.

Solar is a considered purchase. Visitors may need to understand their electricity use, available grants, system size, installation costs and realistic payback before deciding to contact anyone. Our editorial-to-tool journey helps them take those steps.

01 / DISCOVERY

Weekly, useful coverage.

Energy and solar news, practical guides and tariff explainers give readers reasons to discover and revisit the solar hub.

02 / UNDERSTANDING

Tools, not just articles.

Free payback and quote-comparison tools let homeowners test the economics using their own assumptions.

03 / CUSTOMER INTENT

A deliberate next step.

When ready, the homeowner can choose to request a quotation and share the project details they know.

04 / COMMERCIAL CLARITY

One partner per county.

An upfront €750 county payment for January–March 2027, with free remaining 2026 coverage and automatic €750 quarterly renewal from April. No installation commissions.

FROM CONTENT TO CUSTOMER CONTACT

An informed customer journey. Not a cold lead list.

Our planned weekly content rhythm gives homeowners a reason to visit. Our calculators give them a reason to engage. The quote form offers a voluntary next step once they want to speak to a local installer.

  1. 01 / ATTRACTWeekly energy & solar articles

    Search-led explainers, solar cost guides, grants, new technology and tariff changes bring homeowners into the topic.

    Readers explore payback, solar+battery trade-offs, grant eligibility and competing quotes before approaching an installer.

  3. 03 / INVITEInformed quote request

    Visitors who want contact will be invited to provide county, electricity usage, roof or system preferences and timeframe.

    Form planned for launch
  4. 04 / CONNECTYour team contacts them

    Homeowners will see their county's named paid partner and actively agree to share their request before you receive it.

    Opt-in referrals only

The idea: help people become informed enough to ask a useful question, then give the installer context for the conversation. Not every reader will use a calculator, and not every enquiry will become a customer. Homeowner matching and delivery are not live yet.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Not all enquiries are created equal.

A name and telephone number don't tell you whether someone is curious, comparing ideas or actually preparing for an installation.

More useful context can mean a more relevant first conversation. That's why the intended Compound journey pairs independent guides and tools with a considered, opt-in quote request.

We're designing for clearer customer intent, not claiming a proven conversion uplift or promising that every lead will be installation-ready.

FOR YOUR INSTALLATION TEAM

A better starting brief. A homeowner who volunteers energy usage, battery interest and timing gives your team something useful to follow up on.

Credibility by association with useful content. Independent guides and calculators help users understand the trade-offs, while sponsorship is labelled and kept separate from editorial conclusions.

A predictable acquisition channel. Approved founding partners prepay €750 per county at checkout for January–March 2027, receive the rest of 2026 free, and renew quarterly from April. Actual enquiry volumes will be reported when available.

No lead quantity, conversion rate or return on ad spend is guaranteed. The weekly editorial-to-enquiry system is a planned growth strategy; performance will be measured and reported rather than assumed.

GETTING STARTED

Applications are free. Once the matching service is operational and your company is verified, an approved installer pays €750 per county at Stripe checkout for January–March 2027. The rest of 2026 is included at no extra charge.

Founding offer: the remaining months of 2026 are included free after activation. At approved checkout, €750 per county is charged immediately as prepayment for January–March 2027. Subsequent quarterly payments are due on 1 April, 1 July and 1 October 2027. Give at least 30 days' notice before a renewal to cancel it (for 1 April, by 1 March 2027). VAT may apply. This application is free and does not reserve a county or charge your card.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Clear terms from the outset.

Is sponsorship exclusive?

Yes. We plan one contracted, clearly labelled sponsored solar installation partner per county, subject to verification and payment. Editorial rankings and independent calculators are not for sale.

Can my company sponsor more than one county?

Yes. Select as many counties as your team can cover. Each county adds €750 per three-month billing period starting January–March 2027, before applicable VAT.

Is there a minimum number of enquiries?

No. The programme is pre-launch and we cannot guarantee traffic, enquiries or installations. We intend to report actual enquiries delivered once operational.

Why focus on lead quality instead of lead volume?

Solar is a high-consideration purchase. Our content and calculators are designed to help homeowners research costs and savings before contacting a business. The planned enquiry form will ask for useful project context and explicit permission to share it. This may improve conversations, but no conversion outcome is guaranteed.

Is the editorial-to-enquiry journey live today?

Our solar articles and independent calculators are available now. The dedicated homeowner quote-matching form and automatic installer lead routing are being developed. Applications now are expressions of interest, not active subscriptions.

What exactly is free during the founders offer?

The remaining 2026 coverage is included free from approved activation through 31 December. However, you prepay €750 per county at checkout for January–March 2027. Applications alone don't reserve counties, and payments won't open until the lead-matching service is operational.

When are charges and automatic renewals?

You pay €750 per county immediately at approved Stripe checkout for the January–March 2027 term. The first automatic recurring charge is on 1 April 2027 for April–June, then 1 July, 1 October and every three months thereafter. Prices exclude applicable VAT.

How do I cancel with one month's notice?

Give written cancellation notice at least 30 days before the next quarterly renewal, using the contact instructions in your agreement. To avoid the 1 April 2027 renewal, notify Compound by 1 March 2027. Notice received later may take effect at the following renewal. Cancelling renewal does not automatically reverse the already prepaid January–March term. Legitimate refund rights and failures to supply the agreed service remain unaffected.

Can I request Northern Ireland counties?

Yes, subject to relevant UK installation credentials. Currency, tax and contract terms for Northern Ireland will be confirmed before payment.
