conversion lift from a 10-second response vs. 30 minutes
Boltcall average lead response time, 24/7
average CAC — too expensive to lose leads to slow follow-up
The solar lead window is 5 minutes or less
A homeowner fills out a form. They\'ve just compared 3 providers on EnergySage. They\'re waiting to see who calls first. That window closes in minutes — not hours.
The industry average response time is 3–6 hours. By then, your prospect has already booked a site survey with whoever picked up first. That\'s $8,000–$25,000 in revenue, gone.
Boltcall responds in under 11 seconds — every time, including nights, weekends, and bank holidays.

How the 11-Second Response works
From lead to booked site survey — fully automated, no human required.
Lead comes in
Form fill, inbound call, or web chat — Boltcall captures it the moment it arrives, day or night.
AI responds in <11 seconds
Our AI knows solar — financing, incentives, MCS, OFGEM, federal tax credits, EPC ratings. It qualifies and books on the spot.
You show up to a booked site survey
No chasing, no voicemails. Your calendar fills while your crew is on the roof.
Everything a solar installer needs to never miss a lead
Not a generic AI receptionist. Built specifically for solar — the objections, the jargon, the booking flow.
24/7 Voice AI
Answers every inbound call instantly. Handles objections, qualifies homeowners, and books site surveys — even at 2am.
11-Second Web Lead Response
The moment a form is submitted, your lead gets a personalised SMS + AI call before your competitor's phone rings once.
Site Survey Scheduling
Direct-to-calendar booking via Cal.com. No back-and-forth. Lead books, you get a notification.
Solar Knowledge Base
Pre-loaded with solar-specific knowledge: finance options, panel efficiency, ROI timelines, grid connection, and more.
Lead Qualification Engine
Filters out tire-kickers automatically. Asks about roof type, ownership, energy bill, and timeline before booking.
No-Show Reminders
Automated SMS + voice reminders at 24h and 2h before the site survey. Fewer no-shows, more closed deals.
The math is straightforward
A solar installer doing 30 jobs/month with a $10,000 average job value gets roughly 150 inbound leads. If 40% of those are lost to slow response, that\'s 60 leads — $600,000 in potential revenue — slipping away every month.
Recovering even 20% of those with an 11-second response is $120,000/month in additional revenue. Boltcall costs from $179/month.
