For solar installers

Hours of office work, done in minutes of talking. Even when you're on a roof racking panels in the midday sun.

Every solar lead gets answered, qualified and booked for a site survey while your crews install: the homeowner with a $300 summer electric bill, the battery backup inquiry, the barn roof array. Proposals, permit and utility paperwork, milestone invoices and payment follow-ups move on their own. It's a 24/7 AI Office Manager you run safely, hands-free, from the truck.

  • From $49/month
  • No annual commitment
  • Keeps your own number
Example6:50 am, at the warehouse
AI Office ManagerEight new leads since yesterday, all answered. Five qualified and are booked for site surveys this week. I also:
  • Asked the Hoffmans for their last 12 months of utility bills
  • Sent the Diaz milestone invoice, $9,600 for install complete
  • Proposal for the Okonkwos' 8.4 kW system with a battery, waiting for your OK

Where a solar business loses work

Solar leads cost a lot to generate and go cold fast. Homeowners request several quotes at once, and the installer who calls back first and books the site survey usually leads the race. Meanwhile your team is on roofs and in attics all day.

27%

of calls to home-service businesses go unanswered. For solar, each one can be a lead you paid good money to generate.

is the normal range homeowners pay for a solar panel installation. One lost lead is a five-figure job.

What it does for a solar installer

It isn't an answering service. Calls are one job out of many. It's an AI Office Manager that does the office work itself, around the clock, and checks with you on anything that matters.

  1. Answers and qualifies every leadIt asks your questions: do they own the home, roof age and shading, average monthly bill, utility company, interest in battery backup. It books a site survey with the ones who fit and asks for 12 months of bills by text or email.
  2. Sends proposals and follows upSay the system size, the panels and inverter, the price and the financing options. It writes the proposal, sends it, answers questions in your words and follows up until the homeowner decides.
  3. Tracks permits and interconnectionIt keeps the list of every job's permit, inspection, utility application and permission-to-operate status, chases what's late and tells the homeowner where things stand.
  4. Schedules surveys, installs and inspectionsIt books the site survey, the install crew, the electrician for the main panel work and the final inspection, and moves them together when one date slips.
  5. Invoices milestones and chases paymentDeposit, permits approved, install complete, permission to operate: each invoice goes out when you say the milestone is done, through your own Stripe, QuickBooks or Xero, with reminders until it's paid.
  6. Orders panels, racking and inverters"Twenty-one 400-watt panels, the racking for a composition roof and one hybrid inverter for the Okonkwo job, delivered Monday." It sends the order to your distributor and confirms the date.
  7. Keeps customers postedSolar has long waits between steps. A short update when each step clears keeps customers calm and stops the "where are we?" calls.

And the rest of the office

Beyond the work above, it runs the everyday office for you, and you run it by talking to it.

  • Answers calls 24/7
  • Books jobs on the live call
  • Calls back missed calls
  • Texts customers and crew
  • Reads and replies to email
  • Runs your calendar
  • Quotes and estimates
  • Invoices
  • Payment reminders
  • Follows up on open quotes
  • Orders from suppliers, even on their websites
  • Asks for reviews
  • Spoken daily briefing
  • Asks before anything that matters
  • Undo window on what it sends
  • Hands-free voice, safely in the truck

How it qualifies a solar lead, then sends a proposal

Two example conversations, written to show how it works. They are not recordings of real customers. The first is a homeowner at 8:10 pm. The second is you, the next day, after the survey.

8:10 pm: a homeowner calls

Example callYour business line
CallerOur electric bill was over $280 last month. I want to know if solar makes sense for us.
AI Office ManagerHappy to help you find out. Do you own the home, and do you know roughly how old the roof is?
CallerWe own it. The roof was replaced about five years ago.
AI Office ManagerThat's a good start. Is the roof shaded much by trees, and would you be interested in a battery for backup power?
CallerNot much shade. A battery would be nice.
AI Office ManagerThe first site survey I can offer is Saturday at 10. It's free and takes about an hour. I'm also texting you a link to upload your last 12 months of electric bills so the proposal is based on your real usage. Shall I book Saturday?

3:45 pm next day: you, after the survey

Hands-freeDriving
YouThe Okonkwos: 8.4 kW on the south roof. Quote $25,200 for panels only, or $37,900 with one battery. Include the cash price and the 20-year loan option.
AI Office ManagerGot it. Should I include the estimated yearly production from the survey and your workmanship warranty, like your last proposal?
YouYes, and tell them the incentives depend on their tax situation and to check with their tax advisor.
AI Office ManagerSent with both options and that note. If they haven't replied by Wednesday, I'll follow up. The Diaz milestone invoice was paid this morning, and the Hoffmans sent their bills.

Questions solar installers ask

Is this just an answering service?

No. Answering calls is one thing it does. It's a 24/7 AI Office Manager that does the office work itself: it qualifies leads and books site surveys, sends proposals, tracks permits and utility interconnection, schedules crews and inspections, invoices milestones and chases payments, orders equipment, handles email and texts, and tells you what it did.

Will it make promises about savings or tax credits?

No. It shares only what you give it, such as your estimated production for that system, and it tells homeowners that incentives depend on their own situation and to check with a tax advisor. It never promises a payback or a credit amount.

Can it keep track of permits and permission to operate?

Yes. It keeps every job's status with the city and the utility, reminds you what's waiting on whom, follows up on late approvals by email, and keeps the homeowner updated.

Can it work leads from my website and lead vendors?

Yes. It calls or texts new web leads quickly, asks your qualifying questions and books a survey with the ones who fit, so paid leads don't sit in an inbox.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You connect your own Twilio or Telnyx account and your business number runs through it. We don't sell or provide numbers, so the line stays yours.

Will customers know they're talking to an AI?

If anyone asks, it says so plainly. When a caller wants you personally, it takes the details and lets you know right away, or puts them through if you've said to.

How does setup work?

Tell it how you work in plain words, out loud or typed: your qualifying rules, your survey process, your milestone payment schedule, your hours, your service area and what needs your OK. Every plan includes a 1:1 setup call, booked right after checkout: in about 30 minutes we connect your email, calendar, invoicing and phone line with you and check it works the way you do. After that, you change anything by telling it.

Which plan should I pick?

Most owners pick Growth. You get 3 seats, so your office person and a sales consultant each get their own login, and when a busy month pushes past your capacity you can purchase additional usage on the spot (Starter requires an upgrade). Starter is the entry plan for trying it alone at low volume. Installers with several crews who hand over the whole office get the most from Scale: 10 seats, the highest capacity and the fastest tier. You can move up any time: your new month starts that day, and the unused part of your old plan comes off the first charge.
