Why Solar Companies Are Losing Revenue Every Day

The average solar lead expects a response within 5 minutes. Most solar companies take 5 hours or more. By then, your competitor has already booked the site assessment. AI fixes this instantly.

Leads going cold before follow-up because installers are on roofs all day
Complex quoting for different roof types, orientations, shading, and system sizes eating into evenings
STC and state rebate calculation confusion leaving customers unsure and delaying decisions
Installation scheduling across multiple crews with varying skill levels and equipment needs
Post-installation warranty claims and maintenance tracking falling through the cracks
Council approval paperwork and grid connection applications causing weeks of delays

How AI Supercharges Your Solar Business

A practical implementation designed by people who understand the solar industry - from lead to installation to ongoing support.

01

Solar Business Audit

We map your entire workflow from lead capture through to post-installation support. We identify where leads are being lost, where quoting takes too long, and where scheduling conflicts cost you money.

02

AI System Setup

We configure AI tools for your specific operation: lead response automation, AI-assisted quoting based on satellite imagery, crew scheduling optimisation, and customer communication workflows tailored to the solar sales cycle.

03

Team Training & Launch

Your sales team, installers, and admin staff are trained on the AI tools relevant to their roles. We launch with a pilot period where AI and manual processes run in parallel to build confidence and fine-tune responses.

04

Optimise & Scale

Monthly reviews track lead conversion rates, quoting accuracy, installation throughput, and customer satisfaction. We refine AI models based on your actual data and scale successful workflows across your operation.

AI Features Built for Solar

Every feature engineered for the unique demands of the Australian solar industry - from STC calculations to crew scheduling.

Instant Lead Response System

AI responds to every lead within 60 seconds - phone, web form, or email. While you are on a roof, AI qualifies the lead, answers common questions about solar savings, and books a site assessment. No lead goes cold.

AI-Powered Quoting Engine

Generate accurate quotes in minutes, not hours. AI analyses roof orientation, shading, local tariffs, and consumption data to recommend optimal system sizes. Customers receive professional proposals while the conversation is still warm.

STC/Rebate Calculator Integration

Real-time STC pricing and state rebate calculations built into every quote. AI explains savings in plain English, handles eligibility checks for government programmes, and adjusts quotes automatically when incentive rates change.

Crew Scheduling Optimisation

Intelligent scheduling that considers crew skills, equipment availability, travel distance, roof complexity, and weather forecasts. Minimises windshield time and maximises installations per crew per week.

Warranty Tracking Automation

Automated warranty registration with manufacturers, scheduled maintenance reminders for customers, and streamlined warranty claim processing. AI tracks panel, inverter, and workmanship warranties across your entire installation base.

Council Paperwork Automation

AI pre-fills council application forms, grid connection paperwork, and electrical compliance certificates. Tracks approval status and automatically follows up with councils on overdue applications.

Customer Education Chatbot

AI chatbot on your website that answers questions about solar savings, system sizing, battery storage, feed-in tariffs, and the installation process. Educates prospects and captures leads while your team focuses on selling and installing.

Referral Programme Automation

Automated post-installation referral requests sent at the perfect time (after the first power bill savings). AI tracks referrals, sends thank-you rewards, and nurtures the referral pipeline that solar companies depend on for growth.
