Earn new income from past clients | Watt Window Installer Program

Watt Window gives your industrial customers near-live insights into their production energy use and cost, in money and CO₂e terms, plus predictive maintenance, at device, route, product, customer, or shift level.

We package these insights in a user-friendly, action-focused solution that works for all manufacturers, even smaller ones.

If they care about their energy use or machine uptime, we can help.

For more, see our Solution or How it works pages.

Yes. We only use high-quality, industrial, UL 508A listed and, where needed, IP65/ IP69 certified sensing hardware and components from brands you know.

We’d love to give you a one-size-fits-all answer. But honestly, it depends on the site.

We estimate 45 minutes/ node. But it might be faster if the machine is easily accessible at ground level and take longer if the installation takes place atop a tower, underground, or in a hard-to-reach spot.

The best way for you to get a sense for specifics is for us have a call together where we can show you the specifics of our hardware. Your professional experience will tell you in an instant what to expect. Just book time with us.

• You, the Electrical Contractor (IEC), find an interested customer.
• You complete a site survey per our requirements, to determine solution specifics for that particular site.
• The Site Survey drives Watt Window’s custom cost proposal.
• You secure the business with interested customer, based on our proposal and your own charges.
• 50% down payment to us due with order.
• The configured solution ships in 2 to 8 weeks (depending on sophistication of configuration).
• You receive our solution.
• You install the solution.
• The customer pays you. Net of costs to us, you earn money on your markup of Watt Window gear and by selling the time and materials to install the configured equipment.
• The Watt Window team trains the end customer on solution use and provides ongoing support. The customer directly pays us for their initial annual license.
• Every year, upon renewal of the annual license, you receive 2 months of the year’s contract value (currently often $300 – $1000, but depending on site specifics and cost evolution).

In a word, no.

In a few more words:

• Site survey: You need to know what information to collect for the site survey. We provide the relevant information and templates. But it’s all standard topics that you know. Nothing that requires special training.

• Hardware installation: We only use high-quality, industrial, UL 508A listed and, where needed, IP65/ IP69 certified sensing hardware and components from brands you know. Installation is completely standard and straightforward.

We warranty the hardware for 1 year from install. End customers bear the cost of later repairs or replacements.

You are liable for a professional solution installation, just as for every other job.

Replacement hardware must be ordered through us. Please contact us directly to do so.

(Side bar: The need to order through us is not about money. It’s necessary for the solution to work: Each component receives a unique ID that we must track in our system. Many parts also require configuration. So we can only send you parts once they are cataloged and configured.)

We warranty the hardware for 1 year from install. End customers bear the cost of later repairs or replacements.

We strongly suggest that the customer grant the repair contract to you, the original installer. You did the original work. You know the solution best. You are the ones best set up to do quality work on repairs and replacements. But please understand that we can’t actively force end customers to work with you.

Hardware order: Once your site survey is complete and we have designed the site, you place a formal order.

• 50% of order value due to us at time of order, via check or ACH.
• Remaining 50% due on hardware shipment to you, NET 30

Installation: You bill your customer per your standard operating procedures. Usually, that means:

• You charge a markup on the hardware.
• You charge for time and materials involved in installation.
• You may or may not also charge for an enhanced installation warranty.

Subscription: The customer pays us directly for their software subscription. We pay you a commission:

• Commission payments to you start with first renewal of the subscription (typically 12 months post-activation).
• You receive 2 months of the annual contract renewal value. Specific amounts will vary based on factors like customer site size, features chosen by customer, and general cost developments. For a loose, non-binding guide, $300 – $1,000 might currently be typical for your annual share.
• You receive payment within 15 days of the customer’s renewal payment to us.
  (If the customer pays us NET 30, you’d then receive your payment within 30 + 15 = 45 days following the official renewal date.)
• Payments continue as long as the customer maintains an active subscription. They end if the customer ends the subscription.
  Payments do not restart if the customer starts a new subscription at some future date. (And no, we won’t be annoying about it. If the customer merely forgets to pay and pays late, of course you continue to receive your commission on what is really a continuing subscription. Your payments only end when the subscription truly ends.)
• If the Watt Window solution spots machinery that is at risk of failing, you may receive additional money for machine maintenance, repair, or replacement. This would be entirely between you and the customer.

Sure, assuming you are a licensed electrical contractor in the customer’s area of business.

Of course, you’d only earn the commission on the customer’s subscription renewal. Hardware installation and payments would go to the solution’s installer.

No. We want to be of help, not stress you out.

We are thankful for the trust you put in us by recommending us to your clients at all. That’s plenty.

It depends on specifics (e.g., when they do).

Let’s discuss that on a case-by-case basis.

Overall though: We will work with you as good partners, just as you would with your own customers.
