AI Receptionist for Solar Installers in Gillingham

Gillingham is one of North Dorset's fastest-growing towns, with new-build estates actively being fitted with solar at the point of construction — and a growing retrofit market as older homeowners see energy bills rise. This creates a steady pipeline of solar enquiries across both segments. When your team is on-site fitting panels across the town or on rural jobs nearby, those inbound calls go unanswered. ForgeMason captures every lead so no Gillingham enquiry is lost while you're working.

The Problem

Gillingham's solar pipeline is growing — but installers miss the calls that matter most

New-build development in Gillingham is bringing solar-ready homes onto the market, and many developers are working with local installers to fit systems as standard. At the same time, the retrofit market is strengthening as Gillingham's existing homeowners — many of whom bought before solar was affordable — now see the economics clearly and want quotes. This dual demand means enquiry volumes can spike unpredictably. Installers busy with new-build contracts often miss the retrofit calls that come in mid-job, and those are frequently high-margin, motivated buyers who have spent time comparing options.

FAQ
Can it handle battery storage and EV charger enquiries too?+
Yes. ForgeMason is configured for your full product range. Callers asking about battery storage systems, EV charger installation, or combined solar-and-storage packages are handled with the same detail capture as a standard solar enquiry — including whether they already have solar panels, their vehicle type for EV charger sizing, and their interest in smart tariffs. Each enquiry type is tagged separately so your team knows exactly what they're calling back about.
We handle both new-build developments and retrofit jobs in Gillingham — can ForgeMason tell the difference?+
Yes. ForgeMason captures the property type and ownership status as part of every lead. A caller from a new-build estate enquiring about a retrofit is handled differently to a developer's project manager calling about a batch installation — each is logged with the appropriate context and tagged by enquiry type. This means your team can prioritise and route leads to the right part of your business without having to re-interview each caller when you follow up.
How quickly can we get started?+
Most solar installers are live within 3 to 5 working days. We configure the AI with your service area, the products you offer, your survey booking process, and any scheme-specific questions relevant to your customers. There's no hardware to install — calls to your existing number are forwarded to ForgeMason, and you keep full control of your phone line.
