Explain how pricing gets decided
Share how your consultations work and why system size depends on usage, roof, and shading, without promising savings.
Solar
An AI receptionist for solar companies that answers the lead before your competitor does.
Solar buyers call or chat from an ad and expect an answer right then. Your assistant explains how your consultations work, collects the monthly bill, utility, roof age, and whether they own the home, and books the consultation on your calendar. Service calls from existing customers are sorted from new leads, and faults go to your service team.
An AI receptionist for solar companies answers new-lead calls, website chats, and texts, plus service calls from customers with installed systems. InsertChat’s assistant collects the homeowner’s utility, average bill, roof age, and shading, books design consultations on your calendar, and flags burning smells, damaged panels, and systems that stopped producing for your service team.
EXAMPLE WORKFLOW · Website chat
Turn an ad click into a booked solar consultation
A homeowner clicks your ad at 9 p.m. and opens the chat on your landing page, long after your sales team has gone home.
“What would solar cost for my house? Our electric bill is around $240 a month in the summer.”
02
Qualify the home
Ask whether they own the house, the utility company, the roof’s age and material, shade, and interest in battery backup.
03
Book the consultation
Offer consultation times and save the answers, plus the ad campaign and landing page, to the new contact.

Your team sets the boundaries
Burning smells, sparks, or storm damage to panels are flagged for your service team, and the caller hears the safety steps you wrote, such as calling 911 for smoke or fire.
Illustrative scenario. Answers depend on your sources; actions depend on your connected tools and permissions.
What it handles for solar installers
Answers come from the knowledge you add. Anything on the urgent list follows the handoff rules you set.

- Interest in battery backup or an EV charger
- For service calls: the installer, inverter brand, and the fault shown

What to add to its knowledge
What to add to its knowledge- How your consultations and site surveys work
- Panel, inverter, and battery brands you install
- Utilities and towns you serve
- Financing options you offer, described in your words
- Warranty and monitoring support for installed systems
- Whether you service systems another company installed
Can an AI receptionist answer solar leads at night and on weekends?
Yes. Calls, chats, and texts from your ads get an answer whenever they arrive, from the consultation process and service area you add. The assistant asks the qualifying questions your sales team uses and books a consultation. A request to book raises a high-intent lead alert, and the contact keeps the landing page, referrer, and campaign the homeowner came from.
Will it promise savings or quote a system price?
No. Savings, system size, and price depend on usage, roof, shading, and your utility’s rules, so the assistant leaves them to your design team. It can share the starting prices or ranges you publish and explain what the consultation covers. Questions about tax credits, rebates, and financing approval are recorded and handed to a person.
How much does an AI receptionist for solar companies cost?
InsertChat Pro costs $98 a month, about $3.27 a day, for one phone number, three AI assistants, three seats, and monthly credits. Calls round up to the minute. Teams running several campaigns can add numbers for $10 a month each and see which campaign every caller dialed.

Yes. Add your support docs and a set of service rules: the assistant asks for the installer, the inverter brand, and what the monitoring app shows, answers common questions, and books a service visit. Faults like zero production or an error code are flagged for your service team.
With the CRM actions you enable, the assistant can create or update a record during the conversation, automatically or after a person approves it. It runs as an action, not a background sync, so choose the fields your sales team needs and test the flow before your next campaign launches.
Yes. It follows the caller’s language, so a homeowner who speaks Spanish hears Spanish, with answers drawn from the same knowledge. Add a Spanish version of your consultation overview if you want exact wording, and place a test call in each language before your ads go live.
In the US and Canada, forward the number already printed on your mailers and ads to InsertChat. Outside those countries, choose a local or toll-free InsertChat number where available. Number porting is not offered, so forwarding is how you keep the number customers know.
