The Problem

Solar leads are expensive, and most homeowners ask more than one installer for a quote. If your team calls back tomorrow, or a call on Sunday evening goes to voicemail, the homeowner has already booked a consultation with whoever reached them first.

The Solution

Our AI Receptionist answers every call and new lead, day or night, in the caller's language. It asks the questions your consultants would ask first, books the consultation into their calendar, and keeps following up with homeowners who are not ready yet.

What it does

Speed to Lead

With outbound calling added, calls new web and ad leads back in under 60 seconds and follows up by text when they don't pick up.

Solar Lead Qualification

Asks about home ownership, roof, electricity bill, and location before a consultant spends time on the lead.

Consultation Booking

Books qualified homeowners straight into your consultants' calendars, day or night.

Long-Cycle Nurture

Keeps following up with homeowners who are months away from deciding, until they book or ask to stop.

Proposal Follow-Up

Checks in on open proposals and books the next conversation with your consultant when the homeowner is ready.

Service Requests

Captures issues from existing system owners and routes them to your service team.

InstantReply vs answering services

Answering calls is only the first step

A traditional answering service can pick up the phone. InstantReply is built to answer, qualify, book, and follow up, so your team turns more calls into booked work.

Why solar lead response time decides the consultation

Solar buyers shop around. Most request quotes from several installers, and the company that reaches them first usually gets the first consultation, which is often the one that sets the terms for everyone else.

Then the decision takes weeks or months. Homeowners think about financing, talk it over at home, and wait for the right moment. The installers who keep the conversation going are the ones still in the room when they decide.

Both problems come down to time your team does not have: calling every new lead in minutes, and following up with every homeowner who is not ready yet. A solar answering service that answers inbound calls and calls new leads back covers both, around the clock.

How the AI qualifies solar leads

The agent asks whether the caller owns the home, what kind of roof it has, roughly what they pay for electricity, and whether the address is inside your service area, so your consultants spend their time with homeowners who can go solar.

Qualified homeowners are booked straight into a consultant's calendar. A homeowner who misses one of your criteria is not simply dropped: the agent notes why, and, if you choose, keeps them on a slower follow-up in case their situation changes.

Outreach goes only to homeowners who asked to be contacted, on a cadence you set, and anyone who asks to stop is not contacted again.

What it will not do: incentives, financing, and pricing

Homeowners ask about tax credits, incentives, savings, financing terms, and what a system will cost on almost every call. Those answers depend on the home, the household, and rules that change, and a wrong answer on the first call can cost you the sale.

So the agent does not answer them. It takes the question in the homeowner's words, tells them a consultant will go through it, and books that conversation. Your consultants walk into the consultation knowing exactly what the homeowner wants to understand.

Fitting the way your sales team already runs

GoHighLevel is connected as part of the standard build, so leads, conversations, and bookings land where your team already works. If you run another CRM, we confirm it on the demo before you sign up.

Inbound calls run at the base rate. Adding outbound lets the agent call new leads back the moment they submit a form, follow up on open proposals, and work through older leads that went quiet. Text runs alongside it, and missed-call text back covers the inbound calls that still slip through.

The setup fee covers the build, the integration, A2P registration, your phone number, and the reporting dashboard. You are live in 5 days, and the engagement runs month to month with thirty days notice.

Where this shows up

New solar leads

Illustrative scenario
Problem

A homeowner fills out a quote form on Sunday evening and two other installers in the same week. Your team calls back on Monday afternoon and the homeowner has already booked a consultation elsewhere.

How it plays out

With outbound calling added, the agent calls the lead back within a minute, qualifies them on ownership, roof, and bill, and books them into a consultant's calendar before another installer reaches them.

Open proposals

Illustrative scenario
Problem

Proposals go out after the consultation and then sit while the homeowner thinks about financing. Following up is nobody's job, so the ones that would have signed after one more conversation do not.

How it plays out

The agent follows up on each open proposal on a set cadence until the homeowner answers or asks to stop, and routes every question about numbers back to the consultant.

Questions we get asked

Still have a question? Ask it on a 30-minute demo, and we'll answer it with your setup in mind.

What is a solar answering service?

It answers your solar calls and new leads when your team can't, including evenings and weekends. InstantReply's AI receptionist goes past taking a message: it qualifies the homeowner, books the consultation into your calendar, and follows up with the ones who are not ready yet.

Can an AI appointment setter qualify solar leads?

Yes. It asks about ownership, roof, electricity bill, and location, using the criteria you set during the build. Qualified homeowners are booked with a consultant; the rest are noted and, if you choose, kept on a slower follow-up.

How fast does it respond to new solar leads?

With outbound calling added, it calls new web and ad leads back in under 60 seconds and follows up by text if they don't pick up. Inbound calls are answered 24/7/365.

Can it answer questions about tax credits, savings, or system prices?

No. Questions about incentives, savings, financing, and pricing go to your consultants. The agent takes the question in the homeowner's words and books the conversation with the right person.

What happens with leads who are not ready yet?

They are followed up on a cadence you set, by call and text, until they book or ask to stop. Outreach goes only to homeowners who asked to be contacted. Older lists that went quiet can be worked through as well.

How much does a solar answering service cost?

There is a one-time setup fee that covers the build, the integration, A2P registration, your phone number, and the reporting dashboard. Inbound calls run at the base rate, and outbound calling for lead callbacks and follow-up is an add-on. It runs month to month with thirty days notice, and we go through the numbers on the demo.

Does it work with our CRM?

Yes, GoHighLevel is connected as part of the standard build. If you run another CRM, we confirm it on the demo before you sign up.

Can it talk to Spanish-speaking homeowners?

Yes. The agent detects the language the caller is speaking and replies in it, then qualifies and books the homeowner the same way it would in English.
