$0 down — No out-of-pocket cost for the homeowner. Free battery — Standard with every Daylight contract. Paid at install — Minimum of 85% commission is paid at installation.
A free battery changes the conversation. Standard PPAs treat batteries as a paid upgrade. Homeowners balk at the price jump and deals stall. Daylight builds the battery in from the start — so reps lead with a Solar + Storage package at $0 down, below the utility rate. Batteries stop being an objection. They become the close.
Your reps get paid before the utility signs off. Other PPAs pay twice: once at signing, then nothing until the system clears utility approval — 60 to 120 days after install. Daylight pays three times: at signing, at installation, and at CTO. Your reps get paid in the middle, when the work is done.
Step 01 — You close the deal. Your team sells the Daylight subscription to the homeowner. Free battery, zero down, rates below utility. The pitch is simple because the offer is exceptional. Step 02 — We handle the back-office. State incentive filings, VPP enrollment, program compliance — it's ours to manage. You install. We take care of the complexity that slows everyone else down. Step 03 — Your team gets paid. Fast. Payment comes directly from Daylight after installation is complete. Get paid on time with no headaches.
Other providers treat the battery as a paid upgrade — sticker shock kills the deal. They hold M2 until utility PTO, making reps wait 60–120 days after install. Paperwork is heavy and state compliance is your problem. With Daylight, every install includes a free battery — backup power is the standard. We pay in 3 tranches: permit submitted, installation, and PTO — so reps get paid in the middle. Track your projects in the Daylight Portal. And we handle all compliance: SMART 3.0, Illinois Shines, VPP enrollment — all ours.
Daylight offers homeowners immediate savings of up to 40% versus utility rates.
