The AI receptionist for solar installers
Answered Line is the AI receptionist and answering service for solar installers. Homeowners call off your ads and mailers while your reps are out on site visits and your crews are on roofs. It answers every call, books the consultation on your calendar, and texts you a summary of each one.
Call the receptionist and hear it for yourself.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you.The calls a solar installer actually gets
Solar calls are a mix of new leads, signed customers waiting on install, and owners with a system that stopped producing. The receptionist handles all three.
"Is my house a good fit?"
A homeowner wants to know if their roof works for panels. It gets the address, roof age, shade from trees, and their average power bill, then books a site assessment.
Ad and mailer responses
Someone calls off your door hanger or Facebook ad at 8 pm. It answers right away, asks the questions you set, and gets the consultation on the calendar.
"Where's my install?"
A signed customer wants to know where the permit stands and when the crew is coming. It answers from what you've told it and passes the rest to your project manager.
System stopped producing
A customer's monitoring app shows zero production or an inverter fault. It takes the details and texts your service lead so the visit gets scheduled.
Why solar companies put it on the phones
Paid leads get answered
You're paying for every ad click and mailer. Each call gets answered on the first ring, 24/7, instead of landing in a voicemail box nobody checks until morning.
Consultations on the calendar
It books site assessments and consultations onto your reps' calendars by your rules, so they spend the day in kitchens, not returning calls.
Calls routed to the right person
Set transfer rules: new leads go to sales, signed customers go to the project manager, service calls go to your service lead.
Lead vendors screened
Lead sellers, panel distributors, and marketing agencies pitching you get screened out, so the phone is for homeowners and customers.
English and Spanish
Homeowners who prefer Spanish get the whole conversation in Spanish, and your team still gets the summary in English.
A summary of every call
After each call you get a text with the address, power bill, roof notes, and next step. Nothing lives only in someone's voicemail.
The rest of the back office for solar installers
Each one is its own monthly plan. Start with one, add the rest when you are ready.
Instant estimator $197/mo
Homeowners get a price on your website in under a minute from their address and photos, before they sit through three sales pitches.
Estimate Cam $49/mo
Roof, electrical panel, and meter photos from the site visit or the homeowner get filed with the estimate, along with voice notes.
Crew App $79/mo
Install crews see today's jobs, clock in on site, and work through checklists with required photos. Job done alerts the office.
Google + Meta ads $497/mo + ad spend
Google and Meta ads managed to booked consultations. Ad spend is paid separately to Google and Meta.
Review requests + replies $97/mo
Every customer gets asked for a Google review after install, and every review gets a drafted reply.
Missed-call text-back + reminders $100/mo
Missed calls get a text back in seconds, and booked homeowners get reminders before the site assessment.
What a missed call actually costs
Only about 38% of calls to small businesses get answered by a person. Of the callers who hit voicemail, most hang up without a message, 85% never call back, and 62% call a competitor next. Run your own numbers:

Questions owners ask
Will it talk about tax credits, financing, or savings?
Only what you tell it to say. It doesn't make up numbers or promises. If a caller wants details it doesn't have, it takes the question and texts it to your team.
Can it qualify leads before booking?
Yes. You give it your questions, like homeownership, roof age, shade, and average power bill, and it asks them before booking the consultation.
Can it handle service calls from existing customers?
Yes. It takes the address and what the customer is seeing, then texts your service lead or transfers by your rules.
What does it cost?
The AI receptionist is $297/mo, with the first 3 months at $97/mo. The instant estimator is $197/mo, Estimate Cam is $49/mo, and the Crew App is $79/mo for the owner plus 3 users, with extra users at $20/mo each. Month to month, no contract.
