A rooftop solar installer reaching new heights for record margins.
QVolt Solar is a family-owned business specialising in solar panel installation across Queensland—on a mission to help Aussie households get the perfect system at the best price. The work was there. The financial clarity wasn’t. Owners Dan and Melissah Quinn knew they needed sharper systems, stronger accountability, and someone who could teach them to read the numbers as well as they read a rooftop.
THEIR
STORY
100% Net Profit Increase
3 Month Turnaround
1x Gross Margin Lift
Problem
Dan and Melissah Quinn had built QVolt Solar into a trusted name across Queensland. The jobs kept coming. But the financial picture behind the work wasn’t sharp enough. Net profit, gross margins, cashflow—the numbers that separate a busy business from a profitable one weren’t being tracked or understood with enough rigour.
QVolt didn’t have a clear strategic plan tying the business together. Accountability was loose. Meetings lacked structure. Growth decisions were being made on feel rather than data. The Quinns needed a framework that would give them both the vision, and the numbers to back it up.
Solution
QVolt accessed the P7 Higher Playing FieldTM system through Private Implementation, combined with hands-on cash and financial literacy training. Peter Samios worked directly with the leadership team as P7’s financial trainer. He interpreted and analysed their financials, and built their capability to track performance, spot growth opportunities, and make decisions based on real data.
Quarterly in-person workshops with the broader team strengthened leadership alignment and strategic cohesion. P7 refined QVolt’s meetings into structured, action-oriented sessions and introduced productivity habits that stuck across the business.
The impact was immediate. Within three months, QVolt’s net profit had increased by over 100%—a result Dan and Melissah attribute directly to the financial literacy P7 built into the business. Gross margin dollars went from unclear to what Dan now calls ‘the size of a whale’. The team operates with more efficiency and more ownership—plus a clear strategic direction that didn’t exist before P7.
