Built for Growing Solar Installers

Hiring Didn't Fix the Problem.
It Just Spread It Across More People. Here's the Math.

You assumed the response problem ended when you stopped being a one-person shop. It didn't. It just got harder to see who's losing on it.

Whether a lead converts comes down to four things, regardless of how many people work for you: how much they want solar, how likely they think you are to deliver, how long they wait to find out, and how much effort it takes to get an answer.

Conversion =
(Dream Outcome × Perceived Likelihood) ÷
(Time Delay × Effort)

At 5 employees, Time Delay was one person's problem and easy to see. At 25, it's spread across crews and an office team, and nobody can point to exactly where it broke. The number is the same — 8–12 hours, industry‑wide — it's just hiding inside more headcount now.

You don't fix this by hiring more people. You fix it by making one part of the equation measurable again.

Run the numbers on your own lead volume. A lead contacted within five minutes is 21 times more likely to book than one contacted after thirty. That ratio doesn't change because you have three crews instead of one.

If you're paying for leads at scale and converting a fraction of what's possible, you don't have a hiring problem. You have the same Time Delay problem every solar company has at five people, just multiplied across a bigger invoice.

The Math

You're Not Losing on Headcount. You're Losing on Time Delay.

Here's how to actually find out what this is costing you, in three steps:

1Take your number of paid leads last month, across every crew and region.
2Take your actual booked-install rate — not the rate you assume,
the rate you'd find if you checked the timestamps.
3Multiply the gap between that and a 21x-adjusted rate
by your average install value.

Companies your size who run this exercise usually find a bigger number than they expected, not a smaller one. More leads passing through the same unmeasured delay means more revenue leaking, not less.

It happens again, unmeasured, spread across the team.

The Offer: We Make Time Delay Measurable Again, Across Your Whole Team

Sentinel responds to every lead within two minutes, in your name, across every crew and region, and keeps following up until it books or says no. Done for you.

The Offer

Time Delay Drops to Under Two Minutes, At Any Headcount. The Rest of Your Business Doesn't Change.

You don't have to hire more people or restructure your crews to compete. You have to stop losing on the one number that's spread across your team and costing you the most for the least effort to fix.

Time Delay: Solved, Across Every Crew Sub-2-minute response, every lead, every channel, every region

Effort: Removed From Your Whole Team No one manages it. We do. Zero new admin for anyone

Perceived Likelihood: Up A fast, professional reply signals trust, regardless of who's answering it

Done For You We build it, run it, and report the numbers across every crew. You see the math improve.

The guarantee: if we don't deliver the agreed minimum of qualified conversations within 60–90 days, we keep working at no additional cost until we do. You carry zero downside risk on this offer.

How It Works

Three steps. No disruption to your business.

We Run Your Numbers

We pull your actual lead volume and response times across every crew, and show you the exact pound figure Time Delay is currently costing you.

We Deploy

Sentinel is built around your existing setup. No software to install, no staff to retrain.

You Watch the Number Move

Every lead gets a sub-2-minute response, across every crew. You see more installs from the exact same ad spend.

The Outcome

Same Spend. Same Team. A Different Number at the Bottom.

You're not being asked to add headcount or spend more to fix this. You're being asked to stop wasting what you already spend on a number that costs nothing to correct and currently costs you the most, spread across your whole team.

Immediate drop in leads lost to competitor response speed, across every crew
Dormant leads re-engaged within 48 hours of deployment
A documented number for what Time Delay was costing you, finally measurable at scale
Most businesses recover the deployment cost within 30–60 days

Hiring didn't fix the equation. Now something finally has.

"Most growing solar companies discover they were losing 20–30% of their paid leads to slow response. Same leads, same spend, same headcount. The only thing that changed was Time Delay."

Common Questions

Straight answers to what growing solar companies ask us most.

Run the numbers before you assume that. Most owners believe their Time Delay is under an hour, across every crew. The timestamps usually say otherwise.

Then somewhere in that team, Time Delay is still happening, just spread out instead of sitting with one person. We'll show you exactly where, before you pay anything.

A notification isn't a response. It's a flag for whoever's free to act on, which still leaves Time Delay running. Sentinel is the response, not the flag.

No. Every message goes out in your name, written the way your business actually talks. Perceived Likelihood goes up, not down.

Check the timestamps before you decide that. A lead that goes cold from delay looks identical to a bad lead. Most "bad leads" are a Time Delay problem, spread across a bigger team.

No lock-in, nothing to unwind. And if we don't hit the agreed minimum of qualified conversations within 60–90 days, we keep working at no extra cost until we do.

Depends on your lead volume and install value, so we work it out on the call. Pricing is performance-aligned — we make money when the math improves for you, not before.
