Their Electric Bill Made Them Google 'Solar' at 11pm.

The Uncomfortable Truth

You're Not Losing to Better Competitors You're Losing to Faster Ones

Energy decisions are triggered by bill shock.

That $15,000 electric bill arrives, the CFO Googles 'commercial solar' at 11pm, and requests quotes from 5 providers.

The two who respond before midnight get site visits.

You responded 'within 24 hours' as promised.

  • Bill shock creates buying intent. By morning, it's just a bad memory.
  • Energy audits require site details. Competitors gather them in 5 minutes. You take 5 days.
  • Your sales team can't call every commercial lead fast enough
  • Long sales cycles mean most leads go cold before they go solar

The Solar Lead Sundown Problem

Monthly commercial solar inquiries45 leads
Leads engaged within 2 hours15 leads
Hot leads lost to slow response30 leads
Average commercial installation$125,000
Annual revenue lost to slow response$1.5M+

*Based on 20% close rate for fast responders vs. 6% for 24hr+ response

What if you were first on every commercial inquiry?

Those 30 'lost' leads at improved close rate could be 6 additional installations monthly. At $125K average, that's $750K monthly—$9M annually recovered.

See the Difference

Same Lead. Two Very Different Outcomes.

Watch what happens when a lead comes in—and how you respond.

Yeah, But...

We hear these from energy & utilities professionals every day. Let's address them head-on.

Nobody's asking you to close from a chat. But you CAN qualify, capture requirements, and schedule that site assessment from a chat. When a property manager inquires about solar at 9pm, the installer who schedules the site visit that night wins. The one who responds Monday loses.

AI doesn't discuss kWh calculations and inverter specifications. It captures property size, current energy spend, timeline, and decision process. Your engineers do the technical work—but to qualified prospects with realistic expectations, not tire-kickers wanting free education.

The decision is slow. The initial vendor selection is fast. When a CFO decides 'we should look at solar' and asks someone to 'get some quotes,' that person contacts 3-5 vendors. The ones who respond intelligently make the shortlist. The slow ones never get considered. Speed wins the right to compete.

They'll get in-person consultation—at the site assessment. But first, someone needs to qualify their interest, property suitability, and budget. That can happen instantly through AI conversation. Then your team shows up for an in-person consultation that actually converts.

If your leads are going cold before you engage them, that's not a closing problem—it's a speed problem. The best proposal in the world loses to a good proposal that arrived first. Fix your response time, and your close rate will follow.
