Background: A Skilled Solar Team Losing Revenue to Broken Marketing

Net Zero Solar Solutions, based in Red Deer, Alberta, had been serving the province with grid-tied residential solar systems for over 2 years. Their install crew was highly capable, their customers were satisfied, and they believed in their mission to accelerate Canada's clean energy transition.

But despite their strengths in operations, their sales pipeline was falling apart.

  • Their ad campaigns were costing thousands monthly with little ROI
  • Leads were coming in from across demographics and geographies — few qualified
  • Consultations were unprepared and inconsistent
  • Their team was stuck in a reactive sales cycle

In June 2025, they turned to FlowPathHVAC to revamp their sales and marketing engine from the ground up — with the goal of cutting wasted spend, improving lead quality, and increasing close rates.
