The Best Solar Appointment Setting Companies, Compared on Real Pricing
The solar appointment setting field splits into vendors that publish a real number (RunsForYou at $150 to $600 per booked appointment, Omnivortex at $400 and up, and VA Horizon at $300 setup plus $249 per appointment) and vendors that quote only after a call (Solar Exclusive, Abstrakt Marketing Group, and the generalist BPO tier). Solar Exclusive's scale claims, 1,500-plus companies served and 2 million-plus leads generated, are the company's own reported figures, not independently verified. If you want a vendor-evaluation checklist instead of a named ranking, VA Horizon also publishes a separate buyer's scorecard covering consent documentation, exclusivity terms, and sit-rate disclosure.
$300 setup + $249 per booked appointment.
Six companies that sell pre-set solar appointments, not raw leads.
This list covers vendors selling a scheduled homeowner consult rather than a raw contact you still have to call. It is ordered by how much of their pricing and mechanics they actually publish, which is the one thing most of this category is quiet about. VA Horizon is included and disclosed plainly rather than left off the list, since grading your own competitors and leaving yourself out is not an honest comparison.
#1
RunsForYou
Exclusive leads $90 to $350 per lead; booked appointments $150 to $600; a commission-only option (pay only on a closed install) is also offered
- The closest direct pricing comparison to VA Horizon's pay-per-sit model found in this research
- Three separate ways to buy: raw lead, booked appointment, or commission-only
- Publishes real numbers on its own site rather than gating pricing behind a call
#2
Omnivortex ("Solar Pay Per Deal")
Appointments starting at $400, every appointment guaranteed exclusive
- Markets itself explicitly as a pay-per-deal model, not a lead marketplace
- The highest published appointment price floor found in this research
#3
Solar Exclusive
Not published; "guaranteed appointments or you don't pay" pitch, quote after a call
- Claims 1,500-plus solar companies served, 2 million-plus leads generated, 43 states and 286 markets, and 5x to 15x client ROI (Solar Exclusive's own reported figures, not independently verified)
- Runs a dedicated "buy solar appointments" page plus a blog cluster built around the appointment-setting pitch
#4
Abstrakt Marketing Group
Custom retainers, not published
- B2B omnichannel appointment setting built specifically for installers and EPCs, a cold-to-close model
- 1,750-plus active partners across 50 states and Canada (Abstrakt's own reported figure)
#5
Generalist BPO tier (Nexus Teleservices and similar call centers)
Not published; solar is one of several verticals, not a dedicated focus
- Runs the same outbound appointment-setting playbook across multiple industries, solar included
- Thinner solar-specific content and case-study depth than the dedicated solar vendors on this list
Disclosed Position
VA Horizon
$300 one-time setup, then a flat $249 per booked, double-confirmed appointment
- The only vendor on this list with fully published pricing and a written no-show policy in the same place
- Every appointment is exclusive and financing-agnostic: it converts whether the homeowner ends up cash, loan, or TPO
- No-shows are replaced free, not credited or disputed after the fact
Six vendors, one table.
| Decision Point | VA Horizon | Field |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing transparency | Published: $300 setup plus $249 per appointment, no call required to see it. | Only RunsForYou and Omnivortex publish real numbers among the vendors researched here. Solar Exclusive and Abstrakt quote after a call. (source) |
| What you are billed for | A booked, double-confirmed consult appointment. No-shows are replaced free. | Varies by vendor: per lead, per appointment, or a commission-only model tied to a closed install. (source) |
| Financing fit | Financing-agnostic. The appointment converts whether the homeowner ends up cash, loan, or third-party-owned (lease/PPA). | Not disclosed by any vendor researched here. TPO share of sales is expected to hit 65% of reps' books in 2026, up from 44% in 2025, so a vendor optimized only for loan-qualified homeowners is missing a growing share of the market. (source) |
| Who is on the phone | Trained Egyptian VAs with neutral-accent English, on a script you approve. | Not one competitor on this list discloses who makes the calls. |
| Scale claims | No unverified served-companies or leads-generated numbers claimed about our own service. | Solar Exclusive claims 1,500-plus companies served; Abstrakt claims 1,750-plus active partners. Both are the vendor's own reported figures. (source) |
The honest read.
Pricing transparency is rare here: only two of the five competitors researched, RunsForYou and Omnivortex, publish a real number before you talk to sales. That matters more in 2026 than it did a year ago, since residential solar customer acquisition cost is forecast to spike 40% to $0.84 per watt this year after a 2025 low of $0.60, which means installers have less room to absorb a vendor whose real price only shows up after a sales call. Solar Exclusive and Abstrakt both lean on scale claims (companies served, active partners) rather than pricing to make their case, and those numbers are self-reported, not audited. VA Horizon competes on the two things almost nobody else on this list discloses: a published price and a plain no-show policy in the same place, plus a model that does not care whether the homeowner ends up financing with cash, a loan, or a lease.
