For solar installers
The best AI receptionist
for solar installers.
A long sales cycle starts with that first call. Miss it and you never enter the funnel.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A homeowner just got their first $400 power bill. They're calling solar installers tonight.
It's 9pm on a Wednesday. A homeowner's electric bill just hit $400 for the month. They open Google, search 'solar panels [city]', and start calling. They have five tabs open. They want to compare quotes by the weekend.
You're in bed. Your sales line goes to voicemail. Your competitor down the road has a 24/7 answering service and picks up on the first ring. By Sunday the homeowner has three quotes, none of them yours.
Foan picks up in two seconds, in a calm professional voice. Runs through the qualifying questions: house size, average bill, do you own (not rent), is the roof under 15 years old, when do you want it operational. Books a free in-home assessment for Thursday afternoon. Texts you the lead with the answers.
Solar is a known long-cycle sale, but it always starts with that first call. If you're not in the consideration set after night one, you're rarely in it by Sunday.
At a $25k average system and even one extra signed contract a month, the math on Foan is laughable. The trick is being in front of these enquiries when they happen, not when you're at your desk.
Same pattern works for residential solar, battery + storage upgrades, and commercial PPA enquiries.
