What it does for solar installers
An AI receptionist for solar installers answers every call the moment it rings. It asks about the home, the roof and the electric bill, gives a system size and price range from your numbers and books the site survey on your calendar. It catches leads while you are on a roof, out on installs and after hours, and it filters out the door-knockers and tire-kickers before they reach you.
- 7secondsMedian first reply to a new text, DM or form lead.
- 62%Of leads first reach out after hours or on a weekend.
- 141Appointments the AI booked, the typical one 13 minutes after the lead's first message.
Our figures as of September 29, 2026. Measured on 858 real leads across 8 client businesses (home services, real estate, business funding, and credit repair) from June to September 2026. Test contacts excluded.
Hear it handle a call like yours
The kind of call solar installers get at the worst possible time, answered and booked while you work. Then try it yourself.
- AI: Sunpath Solar, thanks for calling. Are you looking into solar for your home?
- Customer: Yeah, our electric bill was $340 last month and I'm tired of it.
- AI: That's a common reason to call. Do you own the home, and about how old is the roof?
- Customer: We own it. The roof's about 6 years old.
- AI: Good, that roof has plenty of life left. A bill around $340 usually calls for an 8 to 10 kilowatt system, and our installed price for that size runs $24,000 to $30,000.
- Customer: Okay. What's next?
- AI: A free site survey. We check the roof, the shade and your electrical panel, then give you a firm quote. Tuesday at 4 PM or Thursday at 10 AM?
- Customer: Thursday.
- AI: Booked for Thursday at 10 AM. Please have a recent electric bill handy. I've sent the owner your details.
Calls it handles
A homeowner calls about a $400 power bill
The AI asks about their utility, monthly bill and roof. It gives a rough system size and price range from your numbers and books a site survey on your calendar.
A panel went dark after a storm
An existing customer calls about a system that stopped producing. The AI gets the address and install date, flags it as a service callback and routes it to your service tech.
A solar salesperson fishing for subcontract work
A caller wants you to install panels they sold. The AI recognizes it is not a customer, takes a message and keeps your line clear for buyers.
Booked by your rules
It only offers real openings inside the hours you set, never a day you blocked. Spam and out-of-area leads never land on your calendar.

An in-house receptionist
- A salary, plus payroll taxes and time off
- One call at a time, during business hours
- Texts and DMs wait until there's a minute
A DIY AI tool
- You set it up and write its script
- Minutes metered, texting and follow-up often add-ons
- Nobody tunes it to your trade
TheContentLabs.AI: a flat plan from $497 a month, phone usage at cost. Every call, text and DM answered, booked by your rules and followed up. We build it and run it.
Common questions
Can it quote a solar system without seeing the roof?
It gives the homeowner an honest price range, not a contract. The AI asks for their monthly electric bill, utility company and roof type, then ranges a system size and price from the numbers in your price book. The firm quote still comes after your site survey, which it books on the call.
What happens when an existing customer has a system that stopped producing?
The AI tells a new sale apart from a service call. When someone says their panels went dark or production dropped, it pulls the address and install date, marks it as a service callback and routes it to whoever handles repairs. A paying customer never gets stuck in your voicemail.
Will it screen out door-knockers and other installers?
Yes. A lot of inbound for solar shops is salespeople, subcontract pitches and supplier calls, not homeowners. The AI figures out who is an actual buyer and qualifies them on bill and roof. It books the real leads and takes a message from everyone else, so your day stays clear.
