Solar Business TrainingYour licence taught you to install solar. Nobody taught you to run the business behind it.
Structured business training for solar business owners. Your accreditation covers the array, the isolators and the inverter settings. It covers nothing about pricing a job, running a crew or filling the diary. This is the other half of the trade.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Solar Business?
CPD keeps you compliant, not profitable
You knock over your 100 CPD points on standards updates and product training, and none of it tells you what your true cost per hour is or why the last twelve jobs made less than the twelve before. Compliance training keeps the accreditation. It does not keep the business.
You learned the business by getting it wrong
Every system you use came from a mistake that cost you: the deposit you could not legally take, the job you quoted before checking the network export limit, the apprentice you hired on the wrong award rate. That is the most expensive way to learn anything.
The business only works when you are on the roof
Take a fortnight off and the quotes stop, the STC claims sit, and the crew waits for you to answer a design question from the van. You are not the owner of a solar business yet, you are the most qualified employee in it.
Another year learning the business from your own mistakes costs more than any training ever will, and you pay for it one thin job at a time.
Training
Here Is What We Do About It.
The Learning Hub gives you the full lesson library inside the Tradies App for $199 a month: pricing, systems, marketing, hiring and cash, built for trade business owners. Business Foundations adds live weekly sessions hosted by Greg Allan, so you can bring this week's real job and get it sorted.
How it works
Three Steps, Starting Tonight.
Start tonight, for nothing
Join the free Tradies App and the starter courses open straight away. No card, no trial clock counting down while you are still on site.
Work the module that matches the problem
You do not start at lesson one and work through the lot. You start at the thing that is costing you money this month, and the library is organised so you can find it.
Take it live
Business Foundations runs weekly with Greg Allan, so the module you watched on Tuesday gets pressure tested against your actual numbers on Thursday.
Why Greg
You speak to the owner who has already done it.
Greg built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with 1,950+ five-star reviews. A general manager runs it.
He has trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.
He grew a coaching company to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches, then cut it back so every owner deals with him directly.
Most coaching companies hand you to a salesperson, then to a coach who has never run a trade business. Here you get the owner.
What changes for you
The old way. The new way.
More customers meant more people doing the computer work, and more wages nobody invoices.
You stay with your customers and your team. The office stops landing on you.
The old way
More jobs. More paperwork. Less of the owner left.
Most trade businesses grow the same way.
More jobs means more quoting, invoicing, chasing and scheduling.
None of it gets paid for.
So the owner does it at night, after a full day on site.
Or hires an office person to do it.
The office grows. The wages grow. The margin does not.
And the owner is still the one everything waits on.
Where we take you
More work. More profit. More of you left.
The phone rings with the jobs you want, at the price you set.
You grow when you're ready, never faster than the business can carry.
Every job is priced to make money, so the busy months show up in the bank.
The best tradies in your area want to work for you, and they stay.
The chasing, the paperwork and the 9pm admin stop landing on you.
The business runs the day. You pick which parts of it you're in.
Bigger, without the headaches. Getting bigger stops meaning getting busier.
What changes
What Solar Installer Business Training Actually Changes.
Three things solar business owners walk away able to do.
Work out your true cost per installed hour, including van, insurance and downtime
Quote a solar job from your own numbers instead of the last price you heard
Set up the business so a fortnight away does not stop the quotes going out
