For solar installation businesses in Australia
A self-serve quote calculator on your own domain, with managed ad campaigns feeding it. Homeowners price their own system before you ever pick up the phone. One installer per service area — first in wins.
Skycast is built and managed by MKRST. You run the installs, we run the platform.
Every solar ad ends the same way: a form, then a salesperson on the phone. Skycast lets the homeowner price the job themselves on your website. By the time they talk to you, they're qualified, informed, and anchored to your numbers.
Your ad takes them to the calculator on your domain. They type their address and see their own roof, not a stock photo.
Panel layout on their roof, entry, mid and premium pricing tiers, a battery-size slider, and savings modelling. Self-serve, no pressure.
A qualified enquiry with their address, system preferences and contact details goes straight to your inbox or CRM. You quote a customer who already wants the job.
See it running live at skycast.arlite.co — the first install, on a working solar business.
Skycast is a managed service, not software you have to run. MKRST stands it up, keeps it running, and drives traffic to it.
Your logo, your colours, your domain. To the homeowner it's your calculator, not a third-party tool. We build it, host it, and keep it working.
Two Meta campaigns and one Google campaign, run for you, with AI creative refreshed monthly. Supply your own creative if you have it. You fund the ad spend — we recommend $3–5k a month — and it's yours to scale up or down.
Conversion tracking installed on the calculator and on your main site, in your own ad accounts. Every visitor builds retargeting audiences that belong to you, not to us and not to a lead reseller.
Every enquiry goes to your inbox or CRM the moment it lands. Address captures also map where demand is concentrating, so you can send door-knockers and letterbox drops to the streets already pricing solar.
These numbers are from the founder's own installation business — the first Skycast install — over its first fortnight of campaigns.
Figures from the first live install, first fortnight of campaigns. One business, one area, one fortnight — your results will depend on your market, offer and budget.
A lead engine only works if you're not bidding against another installer running the same one. So we don't sell your area twice.
One installer per service area. When you licence Skycast, no competing installer in your area can. First in wins — if your area is taken, it's taken until that installer leaves.
That also means the retargeting audiences and demand data your campaigns build aren't feeding anyone else's pipeline.
Once your campaigns go live, you'll see leads within 72 hours. A full week with no leads at all and you get your money back.
We can offer that because the mechanism is proven and the maths is simple: ads reach homeowners, the calculator converts them, the leads land with you.
Three short steps. Tell us about your business and where you're at, and we'll come back to you with whether your area is open and a walkthrough of the platform on a live install.
The Skycast quote calculator rebranded to your business and running on your own domain, conversion pixels installed on the calculator and your main site, managed ad campaigns pointed at it, and every lead delivered to your inbox or CRM as it lands. Plus retargeting audiences and a map of where demand is concentrating in your area.
It's a managed service — you don't host, configure or maintain anything.
We do. Two Meta campaigns and one Google campaign, managed by MKRST, with AI creative refreshed monthly. If you have creative of your own — job photos, van shots, a face people know — we'll happily use it.
You fund the ad spend on top of the licence. We recommend $3,000 to $5,000 a month to start; it's your budget and you can move it up or down.
Your branded calculator. They enter their address, see their own roof, get a panel layout, choose between entry, mid and premium pricing tiers, slide a battery size, and see modelled savings. It reads as part of your website because it is.
There's a live one at skycast.arlite.co if you want to try it as a homeowner would.
We licence one installer per service area, first in wins. Put your area in the form above and we'll tell you within one business day whether it's open. If it is, it stays yours for as long as you're on the platform.
Days, not months. Rebranding the platform, standing it up on your domain and installing the tracking is our work, not yours — you supply a logo, brand colours and a DNS record. Campaigns go live once tracking is verified.
Leads within 72 hours of your campaigns going live. If a full week passes with no leads at all, you get your money back.
Yes. All of it. The leads are yours the moment they land. The pixels sit in your own ad accounts, so the retargeting audiences they build belong to you — they keep working for you even if you ever leave. That's the opposite of buying from an aggregator, where the audience and the data stay with them.
It depends on your service area and the volume you're after, so we price it on the demo call rather than publishing a number that's wrong for half the people reading it. Ad spend is separate and paid by you — we recommend $3–5k a month.
Book the demo and you'll have a real figure for your area inside the first conversation.
