Write for Us Solar: Solar Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most solar pitches are generic lists of benefits or a sales page for one installer. What this blog wants is the working view: how a business decided on solar and what the first year showed, what an installer sees go wrong, how a solar company found customers, and what the reader should check before they commit.

My readers are business owners, founders and trades, and many of them are thinking about energy for their premises or their home office. They already read my guides on starting and running an eco friendly business, sustainable business practices and AI tools that bring electricians more leads. A solar post has to help them make a better energy decision or grow a solar business.

60-second solar guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you installed, designed, sold or run the solar system you are writing about
• Can you share a real example, with the data you collected
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Would a business owner or homeowner know what to check after reading it
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one panel, battery or installer

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• A business or home solar installation, with the first year results
• What an installer sees go wrong and how to avoid it
• Batteries, inverters and monitoring explained from hands on use
• Growing a solar installation or clean energy business
• Solar for farms, warehouses and commercial roofs
• Maintenance and performance lessons over time
• Grants, schemes and planning explained in general terms
• Marketing a solar company honestly

If your post could be published on any solar site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Brochure copy for one panel, battery or installer
• Savings claims with no data behind them
• Copy lifted from manufacturer pages
• Thin posts under 800 words
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong solar pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the benefits of solar energy." A strong one says "We put solar and a battery on our small warehouse and I want to show what the monitoring data said in the first twelve months, what we got wrong in sizing, and what we would tell another business owner before they sign." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A first year review of a real installation
• Sizing mistakes and how to avoid them
• Batteries and monitoring, tested in real use
• Winning customers as a small solar installer
• Commercial roof and farm projects
• Keeping a system performing over time
• Explaining schemes and planning to customers
• Training electricians to install solar

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept solar guest posts?

Yes. Solar guest posts are welcome from installers, engineers, electricians, clean energy founders and business owners who have installed or run solar. We publish practical articles with real data and decline brochure copy and unproven savings claims.

What solar topics do you accept?

Business and home installations, batteries and monitoring, maintenance, commercial and farm projects, schemes and planning, and growing a solar business. The common thread is a real project and what it showed.

Do you accept wider environment and sustainability guest posts?

Yes. Wider environment and sustainability pitches suit the environment page better, but every pitch reaches the same editor.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a solar guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience installing, designing or running solar. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
