Our Story

The Solar AI Story

From one missed solar lead to a smarter way of doing business.

Every big idea starts with a small frustration. Ours began in a Melbourne coffee shop in 2024, when two conversations kept repeating themselves:

"We're spending thousands on solar leads…"

"But no one's talking to them fast enough."

That frustration — felt deeply by solar installers, retailers, and energy consultants across Australia — became our obsession. Because in the time it takes to call back one solar prospect, ten others have already chosen a competitor.

The spark

Neel Bhattacharya, a long-time product and growth strategist, had spent years watching solar businesses lose opportunities not because they lacked demand — but because they lacked speed. Bijoy Majumdar, a seasoned technologist, had built systems that scaled across industries.

Together, they wondered: What if every solar inquiry could instantly get a response? What if AI could start conversations with homeowners — not just collect data?

That idea became Solar AI — an Australian-born platform built to help solar businesses turn every inquiry into a qualified appointment.

We started with what we knew best: solar. Within months, we were powering appointment bookings for hundreds of solar leads every week across Australia. Today, we're the trusted partner for 250+ solar installers, retailers, and energy consultants who refuse to let another qualified homeowner slip away.

What we do

Solar AI is not another chatbot. It's an intelligent appointment engine that blends AI speed with human tone — engaging, qualifying, and booking solar appointments automatically.

Whether it's a homeowner considering rooftop solar, a business exploring commercial installations, or a family researching battery storage — Solar AI ensures they're spoken to instantly, with relevance and empathy.

We don't replace solar sales teams. We supercharge them.

Built for Australia. Designed for solar growth.

We didn't want to import someone else's idea — we wanted to build something that truly fits Australian solar businesses. Our market is different. Our customers are different. We understand local compliance, CEC standards, rebate programs, and buying behavior.

That's why every message, every workflow, and every integration in Solar AI is built with an Australian solar mindset — clear, respectful, fast, and effective.
