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 do builders text solar installers?

Part L Building Regulations compliance requires renewable energy on most new dwellings, making solar installation a standard trade on construction programmes. Builders text their preferred MCS-certified solar installer to coordinate roof readiness dates, confirm installation scheduling, and manage programme changes. Responding instantly to builder texts maintains your position as their preferred solar partner — which can mean 10 to 50 plots per year from a single developer relationship worth £40,000 to £200,000 in annual revenue.

How does the AI handle programme coordination texts from developers?

The AI recognises builder and developer coordination messages and responds with appropriate technical awareness — confirming installation dates, asking about roof tile completion status, noting DC isolator switch locations, and flagging any access requirements for scaffolding. The response demonstrates programme understanding that builders expect from reliable trade partners.

Can the AI handle homeowner texts about solar?

Yes. Homeowners who found your details from a neighbour, a van sticker, or an online listing text with their roof details and electricity costs. The AI captures the property type, roof orientation, current monthly spend, and battery interest — creating a qualified lead. Many younger homeowners prefer texting to calling, and solar buyers tend to skew younger than many other home improvement categories.

Is SMS useful for existing customer upgrade texts?

Yes. Previous solar customers texting about adding batteries, upgrading inverters, expanding their array, or adding EV chargers receive informed responses. The AI captures the upgrade requirement and existing system details. These upgrade customers are pre-sold on solar and your company — they represent efficient, high-margin work with zero acquisition cost.

What does SMS automation cost?

£29/month with unlimited text responses. One maintained builder relationship producing Part L solar installations across a 20-plot development — worth £80,000 to £160,000 — makes the investment negligible.

What is the benefit of AI SMS for my solar panel business?

Solar enquiry texts often come after energy bill shocks: "interested in solar panels, 4-bed detached facing south" or "how much for panels and a battery?" These texts arrive while you're on a roof. Your AI replies instantly with questions about current energy usage and roof type. At £29 per month, one captured installation at £7,000-£12,000 from a text pays for the service for years.

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 sms 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.
