Free Solar Referral Training 2026 UK | Earn £250 Per Referral with Blue Ape Renewables (Southport, Merseyside)
If you already have solar panels on your roof, work in a trade that takes you into people's homes every day, or you simply talk to friends, family and neighbours who are sick of paying eye-watering electricity bills, you are sitting on an opportunity that most people walk straight past. The renewable energy industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the UK.
Homeowners, landlords and businesses making the switch to solar PV, battery storage, air source heat pumps and EV chargers are not finding installers on their own — they are being recommended by people they trust.
That is exactly where the Blue Ape Renewables Affiliate Programme comes in. For every successful referral that turns into a completed installation, you receive £250 paid directly into your bank account. There is no cap, no catch, and you do not need to be a customer or have any sales experience to take part.
What is the Blue Ape Renewables Affiliate Programme?
The Blue Ape Renewables Affiliate Programme is a UK-wide referral scheme that pays £250 in cash for every successful customer introduction that results in a completed renewable energy installation — whether that is solar PV, battery storage, an air source heat pump, or an EV charger. Affiliates receive a unique tracking link, full visibility of their referrals through a dedicated app, and direct payment into their bank account once the customer's installation is signed off and paid for. Anyone over 18 can join: existing customers, tradespeople, members of the public, content creators, energy consultants and small businesses.

Meet Chloe — Managing Director and Your Host
The training is led personally by Chloe, Blue Ape Renewables' Managing Director. Chloe is well known to existing customers as the person who keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes — calm, organised, and obsessed with making sure every customer (and now every affiliate) feels properly looked after. Trustpilot reviewers regularly mention Chloe by name when describing how smoothly their installation went, and that same hands-on approach is exactly what affiliates can expect.
Working alongside Chloe is Emily — equally well-known to customers for her efficiency, patience and product knowledge. Between them, Chloe and Emily are the two people you will be calling, emailing and meeting throughout your time as an affiliate.
What the Training Day Covers
Each session is structured around the five things every successful affiliate needs to understand:
1. Company Introduction
We are a family-run, MCS, NAPIT and RECC-certified renewable energy installer based in Southport, Merseyside, with over 40 years of combined management team experience. We are an Octopus Energy Trusted Partner and winner of the 2025 Corporate LiveWire Innovation & Excellence Awards.
2. How We Pay You
Learn exactly what counts as a "successful referral," how to use your unique referral link inside our tracking app, and when that £250 hits your bank account. There is no cap — refer 1 or 100, the commission remains the same.
3. Tax Implications
We believe in being upfront. We provide a plain-English overview of how referral commission is treated by HMRC, the £1,000 trading allowance, and records you should keep. Note: This is general guidance only, not professional tax advice.
4. Finding the Right Leads
Learn how to spot the five clearest signals a homeowner is ready for Solar PV, how to identify battery storage candidates, and conversational openers that feel like a recommendation rather than a sales pitch.
5. Your In-House Support
Meet the team who will personally support you — Chloe and Emily — and the installation teams who will look after the people you refer.
Who Should Attend?
- Existing Customers: You are the most credible advocate for renewable energy.

- Solar Owners: Even if you aren't a Blue Ape customer, your real-world experience is persuasive.
