Up and Running in 3 Steps

We handle everything — you just tell us about your business.

Tell Us About Your Solar Business

Your services — domestic PV installations, commercial arrays, battery storage, solar thermal — your MCS certification, coverage area, and how you want customers enquiring about payback periods and grid export handled.

We Build Your Solar-Trained AI

We train the AI with solar terminology — kWp ratings, inverter sizing, south-facing orientation, shading analysis, SEG tariffs, battery capacity — so it captures roof type, annual electricity usage, and system size interest from every caller.

You Focus on the Roof Array, Not the Phone

While you are mounting rails and clipping panels at roof height, every call is answered. Domestic installation consultations, commercial array tenders, and battery storage upgrade enquiries captured with full roof and consumption detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is text-back critical for solar installers?

Solar installation keeps your team on roofs all day — harnessed at height, bolting rail systems to rafters, crimping MC4 connectors, and wiring DC isolators. Answering a phone in these conditions is both impractical and dangerous. Comparison shoppers call 3 to 5 MCS-certified installers and book surveys with whoever responds first. Missing those calls during a multi-day installation means losing tens of thousands in potential survey pipeline. The text-back catches every caller before they move to the next company on their list.

How valuable are rescued solar survey calls?

A typical residential solar-plus-battery installation is worth £8,000 to £14,000. Comparison shoppers who are calling multiple installers will book 3 to 4 surveys and choose the best proposal. Missing the initial call means you are never on the shortlist. Over a busy spring and summer season, the text-back might rescue 2 to 4 surveys per week that would otherwise be lost — representing £16,000 to £56,000 in potential weekly pipeline.

Do solar comparison callers reply to the text?

Yes — solar buyers are motivated and informed. They reply with detailed information: "4-bed detached, south-facing, want 12 panels and battery, currently spending £220/month" or "existing 3.6kW array, want GivEnergy battery added." This level of detail allows you to prioritise callbacks — a full system with battery at £12,000 gets called back before a simple panel query — and prepare an informed initial conversation.

Is text-back useful during energy price announcement periods?

Extremely. Energy price cap announcements and utility bill increase notifications trigger surges in solar enquiry volumes. Your installation team is on existing projects and call volumes overwhelm your capacity to answer. The text-back catches every energy-bill-motivated caller during these peak periods, ensuring your pipeline benefits from the heightened consumer interest rather than losing it to competitors who happened to have someone free to answer.

What does missed call text-back cost?

£29/month as an add-on. Unlimited text-backs included. One rescued solar survey converting to a £9,000 installation covers the cost for over 10 years. The £299 setup fee is fully refundable within 30 days.

What is the benefit of missed call text-back for my solar panel business?

Solar installers work on rooftops all day where phone use is dangerous. Missed call text-back catches every caller with a text asking about their solar interests. When energy prices spike and call volumes surge, this catches every lead automatically. At £29 per month, one recovered installation at £7,000-£12,000 pays for the service for a lifetime. During energy price spikes, the leads recovered in a single day can justify the entire annual cost.

What if my solar panel installer business changes its prices or services?

Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've adjusted your panel installation pricing, added battery storage or solar thermal, or changed your MCS certification scope, we'll update your missed call text-back within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any solar panel installer business makes: adjusting prices, tweaking your service list, updating opening hours, or changing your service area. We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your solar panel installer business.
