Add a Smart Home Security Offer to Every Solar Proposal You Send
SubcontractorHub's Vivint integration presents a co-branded smart home security offer to solar customers within the proposal — contractors earn $200–500 per installed referral, homeowners get a bundled monthly bill credit, and the offer is presented at the moment of highest purchase intent. No separate sales effort required.
What Connects Between Vivint and SubcontractorHub
The specific data flows that eliminate double entry and keep both systems current without extra work from your team.
Referral Offer Embedded in Solar Proposals
When the Vivint integration is enabled, a Vivint smart home security offer section appears in SubcontractorHub solar proposals — showing the homeowner what Vivint includes, the monthly cost, and the bill credit they receive for bundling with their solar installation. The offer appears at the proposal level where purchase intent is highest, not as a separate follow-up email that gets ignored. Presenting add-on offers at proposal time captures 3–5x more conversions than post-installation outreach for the same offer.
Referral Submission to Vivint on Customer Accept
When a homeowner accepts the Vivint add-on within the SubcontractorHub proposal, a referral record is automatically submitted to Vivint with the homeowner's contact information and installation address — the solar contractor doesn't need to log into Vivint's portal or make a call to initiate the referral. The referral ID links back to the SubcontractorHub proposal for commission tracking. Automated referral submission eliminates the manual step that causes most referral programs to fail: the installer forgets to submit.
Commission Tracking on SubcontractorHub Project Records
Vivint referral status — submitted, contact made, installed, commission paid — syncs to the SubcontractorHub project record so the contractor can track which referrals are in the Vivint pipeline and what commission is expected. Commission amounts per installed referral sync from Vivint to SubcontractorHub's reporting so monthly referral revenue is visible alongside solar installation revenue in one dashboard. Tracking referral commissions in SubcontractorHub eliminates the spreadsheet-based commission tracking that most solar contractors currently use.
Homeowner Monthly Bill Credit Documentation
The Vivint integration documents the homeowner's monthly bill credit amount — typically a $10–25/month credit against their Vivint monitoring fee for the life of their contract — in the SubcontractorHub proposal as part of the total monthly savings calculation. Some contractors present the combined solar savings plus Vivint bill credit as a single monthly savings figure, strengthening the value proposition. Documentation of the bill credit in the proposal record prevents disputes about the promised discount during Vivint's installation process.

Who Uses the Vivint Integration
Adding Revenue Without Adding Sales Effort
A solar company installing 30 systems per month enables the Vivint offer in all proposals and earns an average of $350 per installed referral. At a 20% Vivint accept rate, that's six referral commissions per month — approximately $2,100 in additional monthly revenue from no added sales motion. The Vivint offer appears automatically in every proposal; the only incremental work is reviewing the referral status in SubcontractorHub. Passive add-on revenue from the existing customer base is the highest-margin revenue available to solar contractors.
Strengthening the Solar Value Proposition
A solar sales rep includes the Vivint offer in consultations as part of the total monthly savings story — 'your solar saves you $150/month on electricity, and bundling Vivint saves you another $15/month on security monitoring.' The combined savings narrative increases the perceived value of the proposal and differentiates it from competitor proposals that show only solar savings. Bundled value propositions are consistently associated with higher proposal acceptance rates in consumer sales research.
Homeowner Engagement With Smart Home Technology
For solar customers who are already investing in home technology, the Vivint offer in SubcontractorHub's proposal connects their solar investment to broader smart home integration — solar production monitoring, smart thermostat control, and security monitoring all on one platform. Homeowners interested in smart home technology often accept the Vivint bundle at higher rates than the general solar customer population. The proposal-time offer captures this high-intent subset without a separate follow-up.
Commission Reconciliation at Month End
A solar company's operations manager reviews Vivint referral commission status in SubcontractorHub at month end — seeing which referrals have been installed and which commissions are pending — without contacting Vivint's partner support for a payout report. Commission status transparency reduces the 'where's our check from Vivint?' inquiries and allows the company to forecast referral revenue alongside solar installation revenue. Integrated commission tracking turns a previously opaque revenue source into a predictable line item.
Common Questions About the Vivint Integration
Is the Vivint referral commission guaranteed per accepted offer or only per installed system?
Vivint pays referral commissions per installed system — the homeowner must accept the offer in the proposal, Vivint must complete their installation, and the monitoring contract must be activated. Commissions are not paid on accepted offers that don't result in installation. Current commission rates range from $200 to $500 per installed referral depending on the system package selected — confirm current rates with Vivint's partner team as they are subject to change.
Does the Vivint offer appear in all SubcontractorHub proposals or only solar?
The Vivint integration is configured specifically for solar proposals in SubcontractorHub — it does not appear in roofing or HVAC proposals by default. Solar customers are Vivint's target demographic for this referral partnership because the installation timeline and customer profile align closely. Contractors who also run roofing businesses can manually include Vivint offer language in roofing proposals, but the automated integration and referral submission only activates for solar job types.
What happens if a homeowner accepts the Vivint offer in the proposal but then declines during Vivint's follow-up?
If a homeowner accepts the Vivint offer in SubcontractorHub but declines or doesn't proceed after Vivint makes contact, no commission is paid — the acceptance in the SubcontractorHub proposal initiates the referral, but commission is contingent on completed installation. The SubcontractorHub project record reflects the referral status update from Vivint when this occurs. Acceptance rate and install completion rate are tracked separately in SubcontractorHub's referral reporting.
Can we negotiate the referral commission rate directly with Vivint?
Vivint referral commission rates are typically set at the partner program level and adjusted based on referral volume. High-volume solar companies (50+ referrals per month) often negotiate higher per-referral rates. SubcontractorHub facilitates the referral data flow; commission rate negotiation is between the contractor and Vivint's partner team directly. SubcontractorHub will update the commission rate in your integration settings once you confirm your negotiated rate with Vivint.
Is the homeowner's data shared with Vivint automatically, or does the homeowner consent?
The Vivint offer section in SubcontractorHub's proposal includes a data-sharing consent disclosure — the homeowner's acceptance of the Vivint offer constitutes consent to share their name, address, and contact information with Vivint for follow-up. Homeowners who decline the offer do not have their data shared. The consent language in the proposal is reviewed by SubcontractorHub's legal team for compliance with consumer data sharing requirements.
