Quality-first buyers · The Patch · 3792

Buyers, not browsers. Matched 1:1, not auctioned three ways.

Around 40 km from the CBD in Melbourne's outer east, The Patch is one of our most active service areas — but we don't send everyone in 3792 to you. We route installers who lead with engineering and warranty support to buyers who've explicitly chosen value over price. The leads you receive in The Patch will listen to a longer pitch about why one inverter outperforms another.

FAQ

The Patch installer questions, answered honestly.

What kind of solar buyers do you actually send in The Patch?
Quality-first buyers — not price shoppers. Every customer we match in 3792 has worked through our 15-question quote funnel AND our quality framework, which surfaces preferences for panel longevity, inverter warranty and real-world battery sizing. The customers who finish it have explicitly rejected the cheapest-quote race; rebate chasers and "what's your cheapest 6.6 kW" callers self-select out before they become a lead.
How is this different from a comparison-quote service?
Two real differences. First, every lead we send is matched 1:1 — you don't compete with two other installers on price for the same job in The Patch. Second, our funnel is built to surface quality preferences, not maximise rebates. Comparison-quote services give you more volume; NGS gives you fewer but better-aligned buyers. If you win on engineering, warranty and long-term outcomes, you'll close more of ours.
What if a The Patch lead turns out to be a price shopper anyway?
If a buyer in The Patch isn't quality-first — they're price shopping, they're not buying this year, the budget doesn't match their stated preferences — reject it within 7 days and you won't be invoiced. We take the feedback into our funnel so the next leads are tighter. Fairest return policy in the Australian solar lead-gen market.
Do I need to be CEC-accredited to buy The Patch leads?
Yes — and a current Victorian electrical contractor's licence, public-liability insurance, an active ABN/GST registration, and at least 12 months operating in the Australian solar industry. We vet every installer in the network because the buyers we send have explicitly chosen quality — and they won't tolerate cowboys.
