Energy contractors websites for Jobber that sort fit
Jobber teams usually see the leak when dispatch has to rebuild the story from scratch. We keep getting energy project inquiries, but the site does not tell us enough to know what kind of project this is or who should own the follow-up. That handoff leak costs response speed before the office ever sees a usable Jobber Request.

What's broken on most energy contractor websites
We're getting energy project inquiries, but the site does not tell us enough to know what kind of project this is or who should own the follow-up. Most energy sites collapse solar, storage, EV, and broader electrification questions into one vague contact path, so the first call starts with basic requalification instead of a real next step. That slows down the office while buyers compare other providers who respond with clearer fit.
A weak first handoff can cost the consultation window, slow a high-fit project, and make the team waste time on inquiries the website should have screened already.
What a Jobber-connected website does instead
The website queues energy contractors demand for Jobber before the handoff starts. On the native path, Jobber receives the request immediately. On the custom path, the site can use Jobber's OAuth authorization-code flow and GraphQL API to create the Client first and preserve project-fit context before the office responds.
Native option
Use Jobber's native request path when the business mainly needs simple consultation capture into the office workflow.
API option
Use the GraphQL path when solar, storage, EV, and broader electrification requests need different routing before the callback.
How the connection works
Simplest path
Native Jobber Request intake
The website sends the buyer through Jobber's native request experience so the office sees the inquiry right away. This fits when the team can complete the rest of qualification inside its standard workflow.
When to use: Choose this when the contractor wants a fast website-to-office handoff without deeper project routing on the website.
More control
Custom energy intake + Jobber GraphQL
The website captures project type, property type, location, timeline, and scope notes before a backend uses Jobber's OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow and GraphQL API. That keeps a serious energy consultation from arriving as a vague contact form.
When to use: Choose this when residential and commercial energy inquiries need different routing before the first reply.
What the website captures for energy contractors
Generic forms miss the project-fit detail the office needs before it can route the opportunity well.
Project type
Separates solar, storage, EV, and broader electrification intent.
Property type
Distinguishes residential and commercial follow-up paths.
Project location
Confirms geography and service-area fit.
Timeline
Shows whether the buyer is actively shopping or gathering information.
Scope notes
Gives the office enough detail to route the consultation to the right owner.
Typical energy contractors + Jobber workflows
Residential energy consultation request
Trigger: A homeowner wants to discuss a new energy project.
Capture: The website captures project type, property type, and location before the callback begins.
Platform: Jobber receives a cleaner Request or Client-first handoff so the office can qualify the opportunity without starting over.
Commercial or multi-scope inquiry
Trigger: A company or property owner sends a broader project question.
Capture: The intake routes the request with project-fit detail instead of dropping it into the same residential queue.
Platform: The office sees the handoff in Jobber with enough context to assign the right next step.
Reactivation or follow-up consult
Trigger: A past prospect comes back after comparing options or timing the project.
Capture: The website preserves project context so the first reply sounds informed instead of generic.
Platform: Jobber keeps the handoff in one place so the office can continue the follow-up path cleanly.
Why connect the website directly to Jobber
Faster project triage
Project type and property fit are visible before the first callback.
Cleaner office context
The team sees more than a vague consultation request.
Better routing
Residential and commercial energy inquiries do not sit in the same generic queue.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace Jobber?
No. The website improves the handoff into Jobber, but Jobber still owns the operating workflow after the inquiry lands.
Can the site separate project types better?
Yes. The intake can capture solar, storage, EV, or broader electrification intent before the office has to requalify it.
Do we need the Jobber API right away?
Not always. Many teams can start with the native Request path and only add GraphQL when the handoff needs deeper routing.
What if the first call always starts with requalification?
That's the leak we are fixing: we keep getting energy project inquiries, but the site does not tell us enough to know what kind of project this is or who should own the follow-up.
We already have Jobber. Why change the website?
Jobber already runs the downstream workflow. The website still has to capture the right detail, route it cleanly, and start follow-up before that demand cools off.
We do not want more tools.
We do not add another disconnected tool just to say we added automation. The website and routing layer are built around Jobber so your team keeps one operating system and one source of truth.
We need more leads, not more process.
More leads do not fix a weak handoff. If the site is already dropping context or slowing response, buying more demand just makes Jobber absorb more noise instead of more booked jobs.
Start your energy contractors System Check for Jobber
We will show where the current energy-project handoff breaks and what the website should capture before the request opens a Client Request in Jobber. If the preview shows the fit is real, the build scope gets clarified before you commit and the next bottleneck stays visible instead of getting buried in a proposal maze.
