Why Sales Reporting Matters
Accurate sales reporting allows EnergySage to:
- Properly track completed projects and close out customer records
- Stop communications from other contractors once a homeowner has chosen your company
- Ensure homeowners have a clear, consistent experience throughout their solar journey
- Maintain our commission-only pricing model that benefits both partners and customers
EnergySage's pricing model is built on partnership—we only win when your installs close. Monthly sales reporting keeps this system working for everyone.
Who Needs to Submit Sales Reports
Any installer company on EnergySage's commission-only pricing model is required to submit a sales report every month. This requirement applies regardless of whether you had sales during that month—you'll still need to confirm your sales activity to maintain your quoting privileges on the platform.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Watch for the Monthly Reminder Email
- On the first Monday of each month, you'll receive an email requesting your sales report
- These emails will come from receivables@energysage.com
- Tip: If you'd like these reminders sent to a specific person on your team, reply to the monthly reminder email to let us know
2. Gather Your Sales Information
Collect the following information for all sales completed during the previous month:
- Homeowner's first and last name
- Homeowner's address
- Date they signed their contract
Tip: If your CRM can generate a report of all EnergySage projects sold that month, download that report and upload it directly—no need to re-enter data manually.
3. Prepare Your Sales Report
Format your sales report in one of the following acceptable formats:
- CSV file
- Excel file
- Link to your updated Google Sheet
Ensure all required fields (homeowner name, address, and contract date) are included for each sale.

There are two ways to submit your sales report on EnergySage:
Option 1: Submit via form
