AI Employees for Solar Installers: From Lead to Paid Installation With Fewer Gaps

Solar companies are flooded with enquiries but thin on admin capacity.
Every quote, site visit and follow-up takes time — and when you’re on roofs or in the bakkie, those WhatsApps pile up.

AI employees from AI Automated Solutions help solar installers turn more leads into completed installs by automating intake, qualification, scheduling and follow-ups across WhatsApp, voice and CRM.

The problem: busy teams, leaky pipelines

Typical solar workflow problems:

  • Leads from Facebook, Google and referrals landing in different inboxes

  • Slow responses, especially after hours or on site days

  • Complex qualification questions that are hard to manage over ad-hoc chat

  • Site visits booked manually and often rescheduled

  • Follow-ups on quotes and finance left to “when there’s time”

Pipeline reports become guesswork instead of reality.

What AI employees do for solar teams

1. Lead capture and qualification on WhatsApp

Using our WhatsApp automation:

  • Every ad, landing page or QR code points into a unified WhatsApp flow

  • The AI agent captures location, property type, roof type, current spend and timing

  • It differentiates between outright purchase, finance and “just exploring”

  • Hot, ready-to-buy leads are routed faster to sales

  • Everything is logged into InOne CRM with source and answers

Your sales team gets qualified, prioritised opportunities, not anonymous form fills.

2. Site visit scheduling and reminders

A digital scheduling employee:

  • Offers slots based on your team’s availability and regions

  • Handles reschedules and cancellations automatically

  • Sends reminders and a “I’m here” button for the installer on arrival

  • Collects photos and notes into the CRM record

No more back-and-forth messages just to lock in a visit.

3. Quote delivery, finance and follow-ups

Once you’ve designed the system:

  • Quotes are sent via WhatsApp and email from InOne CRM

  • AI employees nudge clients who haven’t viewed or acted on the quote

  • Finance options and FAQs are answered by AI within safe guardrails

  • A human can jump in at any time, with full context

You close more deals without “chasing” feeling like a full-time job.

4. Post-install care and reviews

Digital employees also:

  • Check in after installation (performance, questions, small issues)

  • Nudge for reviews and referrals

  • Surface upsell opportunities (batteries, extra panels, EV chargers)

  • Feed insights back into your marketing and operational reports

Your after-sales experience becomes a growth engine, not an afterthought.

The outcome: more installed systems, less chaos

For owners and ops leads:

  • Higher conversion from enquiry to site visit to install

  • Cleaner pipelines with real-time visibility and accurate stages

  • Less admin for both sales and installers

  • Better customer experience, with fast, clear communication

  • Stronger cash flow, thanks to consistent follow-up on quotes and finance

You scale installs without adding a full-time back-office per crew.
