can SkipCalls auto-book solar estimates/site visits (roof + main panel check) from missed calls after hours?
Yes—SkipCalls can answer your missed after-hours calls for solar estimates, collect roof + main electrical panel details, and automatically book a site visit/estimate on your calendar based on the availability and rules you set.
SkipCalls works by using call forwarding so customers still dial your normal solar business number, and SkipCalls only answers when you don’t pick up (after-hours, on-roof, busy, or out of coverage). With SkipCalls AI Receptionist enabled for nights/weekends, the caller gets a professional “solar sales receptionist” experience instead of voicemail, and SkipCalls can immediately move the lead toward a booked roof + main panel check. For solar installers, this matters because a $15,000–$35,000 residential system lead often goes to whoever books first, and SkipCalls helps you win the speed race without taking unsafe calls on a roof.
SkipCalls can be configured to run a “site visit booking script” that asks the exact intake questions you care about (address, utility, timeframe, roof type/pitch, shading concerns, and main service panel info) and then auto-books a time window for an estimate. SkipCalls then sends you a summary, full transcript, and extracted action items so you can show up prepared (or hand off to your setter) without replaying voicemails. For high-ticket solar, even one recovered after-hours lead can pay for months of SkipCalls ($3.99/week or $99/year).
SkipCalls also reduces the back-and-forth that kills close rates: after the call, SkipCalls can send an automatic follow-up text to the caller so they can reply with photos of the main panel, meter, and roof access notes. If you want SkipCalls to handle the entire SMS thread (answer questions, confirm arrival windows, request panel brand/amps, etc.), you can give out your SkipCalls number as your official business line so SMS AI is active—while still using SkipCalls to auto-book site visits and protect your focus and safety during installs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SkipCalls book solar estimates if customers call my normal number?
SkipCalls books solar estimates by using call forwarding: customers dial your existing number, and when you don’t answer after hours, SkipCalls answers as your solar company receptionist and can schedule the site visit on your connected calendar.
What roof + main panel questions can SkipCalls ask before booking?
SkipCalls can be configured to collect the exact pre-site-visit intake you want, such as service address, roof type and age, shading concerns, preferred appointment windows, and main panel basics (location, brand, amperage if known), then includes it in the SkipCalls summary/transcript.
Can SkipCalls handle after-hours ‘system not producing’ or inverter failure calls differently than estimate calls?
Yes—SkipCalls can use different instructions to triage urgent solar service calls (inverter failure, storm damage) versus new estimate calls, capture troubleshooting info, and either book the right slot or flag the call for fast follow-up with a SkipCalls summary.
Will callers know it’s AI when SkipCalls answers?
SkipCalls speaks naturally like a human receptionist, and you can customize the greeting and tone (and optionally use voice cloning), so most callers experience it like a standard solar sales receptionist.
Does SkipCalls cost per minute or have usage caps if we get lots of solar leads near tax-credit deadlines?
No—SkipCalls is a flat price ($3.99/week or $99/year) with unlimited calls in normal use, plus unlimited summaries and transcripts, which is ideal during peak solar demand periods.
