The AI Receptionist Built for UK Solar Panel Installers
You cannot answer the phone when you are on a roof fitting mounting rails, wiring string inverters, or commissioning battery storage. Your AI receptionist captures every solar lead while you install.

Built for Solar Panel Installer Businesses Like Yours
Homeowners
Homeowners wanting solar panels and battery storage to reduce electricity bills, achieve energy independence, and improve their EPC rating. They need MCS-certified installations for Smart Export Guarantee eligibility, clear payback calculations, and guidance on panel count, battery sizing, and EV charger integration.
Commercial & Industrial
Warehouse operators, factory owners, and office building managers commissioning 50kWp to 500kWp roof-mounted systems. They need G99 DNO applications, three-phase inverter designs, structural assessments for roof loading, and ROI projections with Power Purchase Agreement options.
Developers & New Build
Housebuilders requiring solar PV packages across new-build estates — panels pre-wired during construction, battery-ready inverters, and MCS certification for SAP Part L compliance. Programme-critical installations that must coordinate with roofing, electrical, and scaffolding trades.
Battery Retrofit
Existing solar panel owners wanting to add battery storage — GivEnergy, Tesla Powerwall, or Huawei LUNA2000 retrofitted to their current system. They need guidance on AC-coupled versus DC-coupled options and whether their existing inverter supports battery integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AI understand solar terminology?
The complete solar PV vocabulary is configured — panels (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, half-cut cell, bifacial, N-type TOPCon, Jinko Tiger Neo 420W/440W, JA Solar DeepBlue 4 415W, Longi Hi-Mo 6 425W, Canadian Solar HiKu6 410W, Trina Vertex S+ 440W, wattage Wp, efficiency percentage), inverter (string inverter, hybrid inverter, microinverter, Enphase IQ8+, SolarEdge SE-HD Wave, GivEnergy Gen3, Huawei SUN2000, Solis S6, Fronius Primo/Symo, Growatt MIN/MOD, MPPT tracker, Voc maximum input voltage, Isc maximum input current, MPPT voltage window, clipping), battery (GivEnergy All-in-One 5kWh/8.2kWh/9.5kWh/13.5kWh, Tesla Powerwall 2 13.5kWh/Powerwall 3 13.5kWh, Huawei LUNA2000 5/10/15kWh, Fox ESS ECS, BYD HVS/HVM, Pylontech US3000C/US5000, kWh capacity, depth of discharge DoD, charge rate kW, discharge rate kW, cycle life, AC-coupled, DC-coupled, hybrid), mounting (roof hooks, rail system, K2 CrossRail/SpeedRail, Renusol InterSole/FixGrid, Van der Valk ValkPro+, in-roof, on-roof, ballasted flat roof, east-west split, tilt angle, azimuth), certification (MCS Microgeneration Certification Scheme, MCS certificate, deemed export 50%, Smart Export Guarantee SEG, Feed-in Tariff FIT legacy, G98 DNO notification under 16A per phase, G99 DNO application over 16A per phase, export limitation, AC isolator, DC isolator, generation meter, Part P electrical notification, NAPIT, NICEIC, EPC rating), and design (string design, series configuration, parallel string, shading analysis, in-roof ventilation gap, fire barrier, DC cable routing, AC cable sizing, consumer unit upgrade). When a homeowner describes 'twelve Jinko Tiger Neo 420W panels, GivEnergy Gen3 hybrid inverter, 9.5kWh battery, K2 CrossRail on south-facing clay tiles, G98, MCS for SEG,' the AI records every specification.
Can the AI distinguish a domestic PV installation from a commercial system?
A homeowner wanting 'solar panels and a battery, four-bed detached, south-facing roof' generates a domestic lead with roof orientation, tile type, shading assessment requirement, and battery preference. A warehouse manager requesting '200kWp on a flat membrane roof with three-phase Huawei inverters and G99 application' generates a commercial programme lead with system size, roof type, structural loading requirement, inverter specification, and DNO application complexity. The AI structures fundamentally different project leads for each.
What about urgent solar enquiries?
A GivEnergy inverter showing a red fault light and the household losing all solar generation on a sunny July day. A battery system refusing to charge overnight on the cheap tariff. An EV charger that was drawing from solar excess but has stopped communicating with the inverter. A Smart Export Guarantee meter reading showing zero generation despite clear skies. Solar urgency often correlates with financial loss — every sunny hour without generation is lost revenue and increased grid consumption.
How much does this cost for a solar installer?
Solar installers pay £49/month for the Core plan — 120 minutes of AI phone answering plus unlimited website chat. Whether you are a two-person domestic PV team or a multi-crew commercial operation delivering 200kWp warehouse systems, the allowance accommodates your enquiry volume. Additional channels are £23/month each. Setup is £295 with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Is this suitable for a sole trader solar installer?
One-person solar operations gain transformative value. When you are on a roof bolting K2 rail to stainless steel hooks, lifting panels onto the mounting system, routing DC cabling through the roof void, or wiring the hybrid inverter in the garage — answering the phone risks dropping a panel, losing the cable route, or disrupting the inverter commissioning sequence. The AI captures every domestic survey request, every battery retrofit enquiry, and every developer programme tender while you complete the installation safely at height.
Can I control when calls go to the AI?
Set coverage from your dashboard to match your solar schedule. During roof work — when panels mount, cables route, and rails align at height — send every call to the AI. During office hours, quotation preparation, and MCS paperwork — take calls directly. Toggle from your phone as your working environment changes between rooftop and desk.
How is solar project data protected?
Solar enquiries contain property addresses, roof dimensions, electrical supply details, DNO application references, battery specifications, energy consumption data, and commercially sensitive quotation pricing. All data captured by the AI is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on UK and EU servers governed by UK GDPR, and shared exclusively with you. No project details reach competing solar firms or third parties.
How does Rapid Receptionist protect my clients' personal information?
Data security is built into every layer of our service. When your AI receptionist captures a client's name, contact number, site address, or project details, that information is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols. All data is stored on UK and EU-based servers — never offshore. We operate as your data processor under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, meaning we handle enquiry data strictly on your behalf and never sell, share, or repurpose it. You and your clients can request deletion of any stored data at any time. As the contractor, you remain the data controller for all client information captured through our service. Our full data handling practices are detailed in our privacy policy.
What if my solar panel installer business details change?
If your prices change, you add or remove a service, or your working hours shift, just let us know and we update your AI receptionist configuration for free. Routine business information updates — pricing adjustments, new service offerings, revised availability, and updated contact details — are all included at no extra cost. We handle the change on our end, typically within one working day, so your AI always reflects your current solar panel installer business accurately.
