Homeowners comparing solar quotes call 3-5 installers — the first to provide a clear, knowledgeable response wins the survey visit

Solar is a considered purchase, but the first installer who sounds genuinely knowledgeable — not salesy — builds enough trust to get invited for the survey. Your AI creates that impression in seconds.

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

Does the AI understand solar panel systems?

Yes. Monocrystalline and polycrystalline panel types, half-cut cell technology, string inverters from brands like SolarEdge and Solis, hybrid inverters for battery integration from GivEnergy and Fox ESS, micro-inverters from Enphase, optimisers from SolarEdge and Tigo, battery storage including Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy All-in-One, and Puredrive, on-roof mounting with rail systems, in-roof integration flush with tiles, ground-mount arrays, bird-proofing mesh, monitoring apps, and generation metering — the AI captures the full system specification and customer requirements with genuine technical understanding.

Can it handle battery storage retrofit enquiries?

Yes. Adding battery storage to existing solar systems is the fastest-growing segment of the UK solar market. The AI captures the existing panel array size in kWp, current inverter brand and type — critically whether it is a string inverter requiring a separate AC-coupled battery or a hybrid inverter that can integrate DC-coupled storage directly — current export arrangements, daily energy consumption patterns, and the customer battery brand preference. This technical pre-qualification prevents wasted surveys on incompatible systems.

Does the AI handle grant, tariff, and incentive questions?

Yes. Smart Export Guarantee rates from different energy suppliers, MCS certification requirements for SEG eligibility, the ECO4 scheme for eligible households, VAT relief at zero percent on domestic solar installations, and any current local authority or government incentive programmes — the AI provides accurate, current information and captures the customer financial motivation. Many solar enquiries are triggered by news about energy price rises or new incentive announcements, and the AI handles these topical questions confidently.

What about commercial and agricultural solar installations?

Farm solar arrays for offsetting grain dryer, milking parlour, and cold storage electricity costs, commercial roof installations for warehouses, factories, and offices, car park canopy solar systems, community energy schemes, and social housing rooftop programmes — all captured with available roof or ground area, annual electricity consumption in kWh, three-phase supply details, grid connection capacity, and any DNO pre-application requirements for larger systems. Commercial solar projects typically range from £20,000 to £200,000.

Can it manage new-build solar requirements?

Yes. Part L of the Building Regulations now requires renewable energy provision on most new dwellings, driving a significant increase in builder and developer solar enquiries. The AI captures the plot count, roof orientation and available area, preferred integration method — in-roof or on-roof — and any battery storage requirements. Developer solar programmes represent reliable, schedulable work that can be planned months in advance and deliver £4,000 to £8,000 per plot.

Does it mention my certifications?

Yes. MCS certification — essential for customers to access the Smart Export Guarantee — RECC membership for consumer protection compliance, NAPIT or NICEIC electrical registration, manufacturer-specific training accreditation from brands like SolarEdge, GivEnergy, and Tesla, and insurance-backed workmanship warranties are all referenced when customers ask about credentials. MCS certification is the single most important trust signal in the UK solar industry and the AI positions it prominently.

Is this suitable for a small solar installer or a larger company?

Both. A two-person solar installation team cannot answer the phone while working at height on a roof — bolting rail systems, lifting panels, crimping MC4 connectors, and wiring DC isolators all require concentration and both hands. Every missed call is a £6,000 to £14,000 installation lost to a competitor. At £39/month, one rescued survey covers the cost many times over. Larger solar companies with multiple roof teams and office staff use the AI for overflow during promotional periods, after-hours enquiry capture, and multi-channel coverage.

How quickly can a solar installation business be set up?

48 hours. We learn about your solar services — panels, batteries, EV charger integration — your MCS certification details, panel and inverter brands you install, coverage area, and how you want different enquiry types handled. The AI is configured on your existing phone number. You handle zero technical setup.

What is the benefit of an AI receptionist for my solar panel installation business?

Solar panel installers work on rooftops for the entire working day — bolting mounting rails, lifting panels, and wiring DC isolators at height. Answering a phone while handling 20kg panels on a pitched roof is both physically impossible and a serious safety hazard. Yet solar leads are extremely high-value: residential installations at £5,000-£12,000, battery storage additions at £3,000-£6,000, and commercial solar arrays at £20,000-£100,000+. The solar market is also driven by energy price anxiety — customers research, compare, and decide quickly. Research shows 78% of customers hire the first installer to respond, and 85% of callers never ring back. Missing just one call per week at an average residential installation value of £8,000 could mean £400,000+ in lost annual revenue. A receptionist costs £25,000-£30,000 per year. Speed Receptionist costs £39 per month — £468 a year — and works 24/7. Your AI captures the property type, roof orientation, current electricity usage, and interest in battery storage while you're safely on the roof installing panels.

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 AI receptionist 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.

How does Speed Receptionist handle my customers' personal data?

Speed Receptionist processes customer enquiry data solely for the purpose of capturing and delivering leads to your solar panel installer business. Whether a customer contacts you by phone, website chat, WhatsApp, SMS, email, or social media, their data is handled under strict UK GDPR compliance. We operate as a data processor, meaning your business remains the data controller. All data is processed and stored within the United Kingdom, encrypted in transit and at rest, and retained only for as long as needed to deliver the service. Phone callers are informed their call may be recorded for service purposes, and chat visitors are notified their conversation may be stored. We never sell, share, or use your customers' personal details for marketing. You can request deletion of any data at any time, and we will action it within 30 days. Our full privacy policy details our complete data handling practices, retention periods, and your rights under UK data protection law.

Every Domestic Array, Every Battery Upgrade, Every Commercial Tender — Answered.

Solar leads are high-value and research-driven. The installer who responds first with confident answers wins the contract.
