The two real ways a solar company gets more installs
You can hire a marketing agency, or you can put an AI system on the job. An agency staffs your account with people, charges a retainer you do not set, and owns the work it produces. YG3 is different: it is an AI system that runs the marketing itself across paid ads, content, local SEO, and outbound, then reports what it did in plain language. For a solar company chasing rooftop and commercial installs, the question is not which agency is best. It is whether you want to manage an outside team or have the marketing run for you on assets you own.
What a typical solar marketing agency gives you
A typical agency assigns an account manager, a few specialists, and a monthly plan. They build campaigns, write some content, and send you a report. The strengths are real: experienced people and a relationship you can call. The trade-offs are also real for a solar company. You pay a retainer you do not control, and it tends to climb. The work runs on their clock, so a paused ad or a slow landing page can sit for weeks. And when you leave, the ad accounts, content, and data often stay with them. You rented the results.
Where YG3 is different
The difference is who does the work and who keeps it. A typical agency staffs your account and runs your campaigns on its own schedule, and the results tend to stay on its side when the relationship ends. YG3 is not an agency and not another tool you log into and operate. It is an AI system that runs the marketing for your solar company itself, every day, and reports each action in plain language. It pulls paid ads, local SEO, content, and outbound into one loop, and everything it builds is yours to keep.
YG3 is not an agency and not another tool you operate. It runs the marketing itself.
- It does the work: paid ads tuned and pruned around real install demand, local SEO and content that win solar searches in your service area, and outbound sent in researched waves to homeowners and property managers.
- It moves carefully near your money. Every change is previewed, reversible, and logged, and your ad budget stays yours and separate.
- It pushes visibility into both search and AI answers, so when someone asks an assistant who installs solar near them, your company shows up.
- You own everything it builds: your site, your content, your ad accounts, your data. You can leave anytime and take it with you.
How AI runs the work a solar agency does by hand
A solar install is a high-consideration purchase, so the marketing has to run every day, not in monthly bursts. YG3 keeps the search ads pointed at people pricing panels and financing now, prunes the terms that waste spend, and publishes pages that answer the questions homeowners actually search before they book a site visit. It runs outbound to neighborhoods and commercial accounts that fit your install profile, and it keeps your company visible when buyers ask an AI assistant for a recommendation. An agency does these things on its schedule. YG3 does them continuously and shows you each action it took.
How YG3 is priced against the cost of a hire
The pricing tells you who each option is for. A typical agency charges a monthly retainer that you do not set and that usually grows as they add scope. YG3 is priced against the cost of a hire, not a retainer you negotiate every quarter: a one-time install of $10,000 to build the engine on assets you own, then $1,500 a month to run it, with your ad budget kept separate. For a solar company, compare that to the salary of a marketing manager or to an agency retainer, not to a software line item.
When a typical agency is the better choice
An agency is the better choice when you want people in the room and a hands-on relationship more than you want to own the engine. If you have a complex brand, in-house marketers who want partners to extend, or one-off creative projects like a rebrand or a launch video, an agency earns its place. YG3 is for solar owners who would rather skip the hire and the rented results and have the day-to-day marketing run for them. Some companies keep an agency for big creative pushes and let YG3 run the steady demand generation underneath.
How to choose for your solar company
Start with one question: do you want to manage a marketing team, or have the marketing run for you? If you want people you can brief and meet, and you are comfortable renting the results, a typical agency fits. If you want the installs to keep coming without hiring, without a bill you cannot control, and on assets you own outright, YG3 is the answer, because it does the work itself and hands you everything it builds. The average YG3 business passes more than 2,000 hands-free marketing actions a month, all without the owner lifting a finger.

Common follow-ups.
Can YG3 replace my solar marketing agency?
For most solar companies, yes. YG3 runs the day-to-day marketing an agency does, ads, local SEO, content, and outbound, but it does the work itself and you own everything it builds. Some owners keep an agency for one-off creative projects and let YG3 run the steady demand generation underneath.
How much does YG3 cost compared to a solar marketing agency?
YG3 is priced against the cost of a hire, not an open-ended retainer: a one-time install of $10,000, then $1,500 a month, with your ad budget kept separate. A typical agency charges a monthly retainer you do not set and that usually grows. Compare YG3 to a marketing salary, not to a software line.
Is YG3 software built only for solar companies?
No. YG3 is an AI system that runs marketing for businesses across many trades, and it tunes the ads, content, and outbound to your solar company and your service area. It is not industry-specific software you configure; it does the work for you and reports what it did in plain language.
Will I still own my ads and content if I use YG3?
Yes. You own everything YG3 builds: your website, your content, your ad accounts, and your data. You can leave anytime and take it all with you. That is the difference from a typical agency, where the work it produces often stays with the agency.
