Built for UK solar installers
Stop paying for solar leads you respond to too late.
Solar Responder texts every new enquiry in your business name within seconds, qualifies them against your rules, and hands your team a ranked list. It does not touch your website, inbox or CRM.

Built and run by Tom in Yorkshire. Texting +44 7863 746553 is the fastest way to reach me, and Solar Responder answers it.
I built this after watching installers lose surveys they had already paid for. The company is new, and I would rather say so. If it does not book you work, text me and cancel.
Text +44 7863 746553. That is Solar Responder answering. You will get the same experience your homeowners do.
Why speed matters
You already have the enquiry. The gap to first reply is where it dies.
Solar enquiries are time-sensitive and often shared. Solar Responder exists so the first useful conversation is yours, and so the survey slot goes to a homeowner who actually qualifies.
The enquiry goes cold
Website, referral and provider enquiries often reach several installers at once. The first clear reply tends to get the survey. A message sent after the site visit is often too late.
Qualification depends on who picks up
Different people ask different questions. Out-of-area properties, tenants and tyre-kickers still take survey slots because nobody applied the same rules.
The next call is buried in the inbox
Forms and forwarded provider emails pile up while the team is on a roof. There is no scored list of who is ready to book, only a thread to catch up on later.
The product
A ranked list of who to ring, and the rules that built it.

The solution
A response and qualification layer, not another place to store jobs
Four things change for the installer: every enquiry is contacted, every conversation follows your rules, the team sees who to ring next, and nothing else you already use has to change.
Contact every homeowner in seconds
As soon as an enquiry is captured, they get a branded text in your business name. The conversation starts while interest is still high, even if nobody is at the desk.
Qualify against your rules, not a script
Service areas, homeowner status, property type, spend and timescale are your questions and your scoring. Unqualified leads are marked so the team does not chase them.
Hand the team a next action
Each lead arrives with answers, a priority score and a recommended step: offer a survey, call, or set it aside. The qualifying questions have already been asked.
Keep the website, inbox and CRM you have
Forward existing forms and provider emails to a private address. Solar Responder does not replace the systems you already use to run jobs.
How it works
Keep your sources. Automate the first conversation. Work the list.
1
Capture every enquiry
Keep using your website forms, inboxes and lead providers. Forward them to a private address; the first real message connects the source.
2
Qualify automatically
Homeowners answer a short, branded text based on your rules. You can edit the questions before you go live. STOP and opt-out are built in.
3
Act on the right leads
Your team sees a clear summary, priority score and recommended next step, then takes the survey in the tools they already use.
What it costs you now
Work out what a slow first reply is worth.
Your numbers, not ours. We do not store them against your name or send them to advertisers.
Drag this to whatever improvement you think is realistic. We are not claiming a number.

What you are buying
Not a CRM, and not a lead marketplace. You are buying the minutes after an enquiry arrives: a first reply in your name, consistent qualification, and a clear next step.
- One plan on purpose. Capture, text qualification, scoring, inbox and survey hand-off are included. There is nothing to unlock later.
- See it before you sign up. The 2-minute demo walks the homeowner questions, then shows the qualified lead your team would receive.
- A simple trial. 14 days, card required, cancel monthly, no setup fee. Apple Pay is available at checkout. Keep your current website and CRM throughout.

Questions installers ask
Straight answers before you try it
Am I allowed to text people like this?
Yes, when they have just enquired about the service. The message goes out in your business name from [SENDER ID], states why you are contacting them, and carries a one-word opt-out that is honoured permanently and logged. You stay the data controller. We are the processor. The data processing terms are at [LINK TO YOUR DPA].
What if a homeowner does not reply?
They drop into your call list with the source and timestamp attached. An optional chase message goes after [X] hours.
What happens if I go over the included volume?
You get an email at 50% and 100% of the allowance. Tom watches it. Nothing stops, and nothing is charged, without agreement first.
Does this replace my CRM?
No. Keep the CRM, job book and calendar you already use to run work. Solar Responder sits in front of them: it captures the enquiry, contacts the homeowner and qualifies them, then hands your team a scored lead with a recommended next step.
How do new enquiries get in?
Forward website form emails and lead-provider emails to a private address we give you. The first real message marks that source as connected. You do not need to rebuild your website or change providers.
What does the homeowner actually receive?
A short text in your business name, asking the questions you set: postcode, homeowner status, property type, what they want, spend, timescale and survey availability. They reply by text. STOP and opt-out are built in.
Is this number running your own software?
Yes. It is Solar Responder, the product on this page. You will get an automated reply in seconds, then me.
Can I change the questions and who counts as qualified?
Yes. The qualification builder lets you edit prompts, answer options, service-area postcodes and scoring. Publish a new version when you are ready; conversations already in progress keep the version they started with.
How long does setup take?
Enough to feel like your business: name, service areas and an inbox to forward. Around 15 minutes, and Tom will do it with you on a call if you would rather. Run the 2-minute demo first to see the lead your team would receive. A 14-day trial includes every feature.
Is there a contract or setup fee?
No setup fee. One plan at £99/month after a 14-day trial, with every lead-conversion feature included. A card is required to start the trial. Includes a baseline of 80 leads a month. Cancel monthly.
Who is this for?
UK solar installers who receive homeowner enquiries and want more of them to become surveys, not another place to store jobs.
