Solar quotes don't close on the day.
They close on the day someone follows up.
A €12k solar PV install is a three-week decision. The customer is talking to two or three installers. They go with the one who chased properly. Most solar installers never make the second call. We make sure you do.

Build time is 14 days from kick-off.
"Eighteen quotes this month. We've heard back on three. The other fifteen are still 'thinking about it'."
That's the average solar installer. The leads are there. The follow-up isn't.
LEAK 01
The 21-day decision window
The Problem
Solar PV is the longest sales cycle in trades. Customer enquires. Site survey. Quote sent. They get two more quotes. They check reviews. They ask their brother-in-law. They wait for next month's electricity bill. They Google grant top-ups. Three weeks later, they sign — with whichever installer was still in their inbox.
How we fix it
Every quote enters a structured 21-day nurture — automated, but written like a real person. Day 1: quote sent. Day 3: a question about their roof. Day 7: a case study from a similar install. Day 14: a check-in on grant timing. Day 21: a clean "are you still considering?" close. SMS, WhatsApp, email mixed appropriately. You sign more deals because you were the only installer they heard from after the quote.
LEAK 02
Enquiries lost to slow response
The Problem
Most solar installers respond to website enquiries within 4–24 hours. The first installer to reply has a 7x higher chance of closing. By the time you check your inbox at 6pm, two competitors have already booked a survey.
How we fix it
Form-to-WhatsApp alerts within 10 seconds. After-hours auto-reply that holds the lead warm. Missed-call text-back during install days. Every enquiry acknowledged inside 60 seconds, 24/7, even when you're on a roof.
LEAK 03
Grant cycles and seasonal spikes you're not capturing
The Problem
SEAI grant changes. Budget energy incentives. Post-winter electricity bill shock. Solar enquiries spike on a predictable cycle — and most installers ride the inbound wave instead of pushing their existing database.
How we fix it
Database campaigns timed to grant cycles, post-budget windows, and post-winter bill shock. Past leads who didn't convert get a fresh nudge. Old enquiries from 6 months ago come back for another look. Your database becomes a renewable lead source instead of a one-time list.
LEAK 04
Battery and service add-ons left on the table
The Problem
Every solar PV install is a candidate for battery storage upgrade, EV charger pairing, and annual performance review. Most installers don't follow up after handover. Customer adds a battery 18 months later — with someone else.
How we fix it
Post-install nurture for battery storage, EV charger upgrades, and annual performance review bookings. The customer you've already won keeps coming back. Lifetime value triples without you adding a single new lead.
Two solar installers. Same month. Very different month.
