Redlines and baselines are important, but they’re just one metric to determine good commissions. A low redline doesn’t always translate to the highest earnings if other factors, like dealer fees and adders aren’t competitive. That’s why we take a comprehensive approach to ensure you maximize your payouts.

Because redlines are constantly changing, we don’t publish them here, but we’re happy to review them with you during a discovery call. Thanks to our low overhead, we’re able to offer some of the most competitive redlines in the industry. For example, in markets like Colorado, we provide redlines below 2.2 with no splits—keeping more money in your pocket.

Many installers advertise low redlines but pad their dealer fees—what does that mean for you? It means you can sell the same system, with the same loan, at the same price, but one proposal can end up costing your customer thousands more. To price match, you’re forced to lower your base price per watt, effectively making that “low redline” meaningless.

At Cake Solar, we solve this problem by offering access to multiple finance options through our network of top installers. This allows us to help you choose the best option for both you and your customer, ensuring competitive pricing without sacrificing your commissions.

Adders are one of the most frustrating aspects of solar sales. Even with the best redline in the industry, your commissions can quickly disappear if they’re eaten up by excessive adders. That’s why many of our install partners offer reduced adders—or practically none at all.

Because we have the flexibility to choose from multiple installers, we’ve seen projects with over $10,000 in adders eliminated simply by using a different installer that was a better fit. This ability to match the right project with the right installer ensures you keep more of your hard-earned commissions and provide your customers with the best deal possible

Rev share can work well in some markets and scenarios, but it doesn’t make sense everywhere. That’s why we don’t tie ourselves to a single model. In markets with high utility rates, rev share often isn’t the best option. On the other hand, in areas with lower utility rates, it can make more sense.

At Cake Solar, we offer flexibility and options to fit your needs. Plus, we keep things simple: we charge a flat fee for every project sold and let you keep 100% of everything else. With access to multiple models and solutions, we can help you find the best fit for you and your customer—every time.
