Solar has a follow-up problem, not a lead problem. A homeowner fills in a "how much could I save?" form, gets one call the next day, doesn't answer, and never hears from the installer again. Industry data consistently shows most solar web leads need five to eight touches before they book a survey — and most internal teams stop at two. Meanwhile your closers, the people who can actually sell a $25,000 system, are burning hours redialling cold web forms.
We fix the top of that funnel. Speed Outsourcing runs dedicated solar calling teams from Egypt: native-level English callers who work your lead lists on a disciplined cadence, handle the standard objections, qualify roof and bill criteria, and book site surveys directly into your closers' calendars.
What your solar callers handle
Speed-to-lead on web enquiries
New form fills get called back within minutes, not the next morning. Solar shoppers submit to three or four installers at once, and the first real conversation usually frames the whole deal. Your callers respond fast, qualify, and book — then confirmation and reminder calls protect the show rate, which is where most solar pipelines quietly die.
Solar cold calling
Outbound cold calling to purchased homeowner lists, aged leads, and past quote requests. This is volume work — hundreds of dials a day per seat, consistent scripts, every disposition logged. US campaigns run with DNC scrubbing and documented consent handling before a single dial goes out, because TCPA exposure in solar is real and we treat it that way.
Aged lead reactivation
Every installer sits on a CRM full of leads that went quiet in the research phase. Those homeowners didn't stop wanting lower bills — they stalled. A structured reactivation cadence ("you asked about solar last spring — rates in your area have changed since") routinely produces surveys at a fraction of the cost of buying new leads.
Qualification your closers can trust
Every booked survey comes with the basics verified: homeowner (not renter), average monthly electric bill, roof age and shading, credit comfort for financing, and decision-makers confirmed for the appointment. Your closers stop driving to homes that were never going to qualify.
The objection your callers will hear ten times a day: "We looked into solar — it's too expensive." The trained answer isn't a pitch, it's a question: "Totally fair — when you looked, was that a cash price or a financed one? Most of the homeowners we book are swapping a $220 electric bill for a $150 fixed payment, no money down. If the survey shows your roof can't beat your current bill, we'll tell you that on the spot." That reframe is the difference between a hang-up and a booked survey.
Built for solar's boom-and-bust cycles
Solar demand moves with incentive deadlines, energy prices, and seasons. You might need five outbound seats for a three-month push before a tax-credit change, then two seats for steady-state follow-up. Because everything runs month to month from 2 seats with £0 setup, you scale the team with the campaign — no enterprise minimums, no notice-period penalties. Teams typically go live in about 7 days, working your scripts and your CRM from day one.
A residential solar company added a 4-seat outbound qualification team to work its digital enquiries on a fixed cadence. Appointment show rates rose 35 percent, and internal reps went back to closing instead of chasing cold forms.
Pricing
$850–$2,000 per caller/month
(£650–£1,550) · Month to month · £0 setup · Teams from 2 seats · Live in about 7 days
Where you land in the band depends on calling hours, list quality, and how much qualification depth you need per appointment. One flat monthly rate per dedicated caller — no per-appointment fees that push setters to book junk, no per-minute billing. Full breakdown on the pricing page. For context, a single in-house US setter typically costs $3,000–$4,000 per month loaded, before a manager to keep them dialling.

Frequently asked questions
How much do solar appointment setting services cost?
Dedicated solar callers cost $850–$2,000 per caller per month (£650–£1,550), billed month to month with £0 setup, starting from 2 seats, and teams typically go live in about 7 days. Rate within the band depends on calling hours, outbound volume, and qualification depth per booked survey.
Is solar cold calling still legal in the US?
Yes, when it is run properly — campaigns launch only after DNC scrubbing, consent-aware list handling, and documented calling processes are in place, and scripts include the required disclosures. We build the compliance workflow with you before the first dial, because TCPA penalties are priced per call.
How do you stop setters booking junk appointments?
Every survey is booked against your written criteria — homeowner status, average electric bill, roof condition, financing comfort, and both decision-makers confirmed — and because pricing is a flat monthly seat rate rather than per appointment, there is no incentive to inflate the calendar. You review call recordings any time.
Can you handle seasonal or campaign-based volume?
Yes — seats scale up for incentive-deadline pushes or summer campaigns and back down afterwards, because every engagement is month to month with no minimum term beyond the 2-seat floor. Most solar clients run a larger team during campaign windows and a smaller steady-state follow-up team between them.
Will your callers sound like a typical offshore solar boiler room?
No — callers speak native-level English with neutral accents, are trained on solar fundamentals like net metering, payback periods, and financing versus PPA, and follow scripts you approve, so conversations sound like your company. Homeowner distrust of solar calls is precisely why script discipline and tone matter more here than in any other vertical we serve.
