A WhatsApp AI agent for solar installers works the enquiries that arrive while the crew is on a roof: “How much does a system cost?”, “Is my roof suitable?”, “Can someone visit?” The agent qualifies each enquiry with the installer's own questions — roof type, usage, location — books a site visit, and explains the process — while pricing, system design, and savings claims stay with the installer, never invented by the agent.
What customers ask, answered in chat
- Quote qualification: roof type, monthly usage, and location, collected in chat, so the installer calls back with a real brief, not a cold lead.
- Site-visit booking: the customer picks a slot in chat, and the visit lands in the installer's diary with the qualification answers attached.
- Process FAQs: survey, installation, and grid-connection steps — answered from the installer's own process documents.
- System FAQs: panel types, warranties, and what installation involves — from the installer's own product documents, without invented savings figures.
The inbox that never sleeps
Solar enquiries are high-value and slow to convert, and the first company to respond properly usually wins the site visit. But installers are on roofs, not at desks, so enquiries wait hours for a reply and cool off. The agent qualifies and books instantly from the installer's own questions and diary, and the installer spends the day surveying, installing, and closing the visits that genuinely need a human expert.
An illustrative customer conversation
The following exchange is illustrative — an example of the shape of a conversation, not a real customer chat. Customer: “I'm interested in solar for my house.” Agent: “Great — is your roof pitched or flat, and roughly what is your monthly electricity usage?” Customer: “Pitched, about average for a family home.” Agent: “A site visit would confirm suitability — Tuesday at 10am or Thursday at 2pm?” The qualification plus the diary is the whole service — the installer arrives with a brief, not a blank page.
What to teach the agent before launch
- Qualification questions in the installer's own wording: roof type, usage, location, and anything else the survey needs.
- Process documents in plain steps: survey, installation, and connection, in the installer's own order.
- Product documents without invented figures: panel types and warranties only as the installer states them.
- The handoff list: pricing, system design, savings claims, and any unhappy customer go to the installer.
