Hi, I'm looking for solar panels for my house. Load shedding is killing us

Hi there! You're in the right place. To give you a quick estimate, I need a few details. Is this for a house or business?

House, 3 bedrooms in Centurion

Got it. How much is your average monthly Eskom bill? And do you want full off-grid capability or just backup for load shedding?

About R2,800/month. Just need backup for essentials — lights, WiFi, fridge, TV

Based on your usage, a 5kW inverter with a 5.12kWh battery and 6 panels would cover your essentials during outages. Installed price is typically R85,000-R110,000 depending on roof type and mounting. We can also do a rental from R2,200/month. Want to book a free site assessment? Our next available slot in Centurion is Thursday morning.

Sound familiar?

Common challenges solar & energy solutions businesses face without automation.

Load shedding creates massive demand spikes — your phone rings nonstop and you can't get to every enquiry before customers move on to another installer

Every quote requires the same 10 questions — roof type, usage, budget, municipality — and your sales team repeats them 30 times a day

Customers contact 3-5 installers at once and go with whoever responds first, regardless of quality or price

Evening enquiries (when the lights go out) are your hottest leads, but nobody's available to respond

What Raimond does for solar & energy solutions

Real use cases, not marketing fluff. Here's exactly how the bot helps your business.

Instant Lead Qualification

The bot asks about property type, monthly electricity spend, roof orientation, and budget — qualifying the lead before a salesperson gets involved.

System Size Estimates

Based on monthly kWh usage and load shedding backup needs, the bot provides an estimated system size and ballpark pricing range within seconds.

Site Visit Booking

Qualified leads book a site assessment directly on WhatsApp. The bot confirms the appointment and sends reminders to both the customer and the installation team.

Financing Options

Explain payment plans, financing partners, and rental-vs-purchase options automatically. Customers understand their options before the first sales call.

Load Shedding Schedule Updates

Share current load shedding schedules and explain how a solar + battery system eliminates the impact — turning a frustration into a sales trigger.

Post-Installation Support

Handle warranty queries, maintenance scheduling, and monitoring alerts via WhatsApp. Customers check their system performance without calling your office.

Frequently asked questions

How does a WhatsApp chatbot work for solar & energy solutions?

Raimond's AI-powered chatbot connects to your WhatsApp Business number and handles customer conversations automatically. For solar & energy solutions, this means the bot asks about property type, monthly electricity spend, roof orientation, and budget — qualifying the lead before a salesperson gets involved.. The bot is trained on your specific business information, pricing, and policies.

How much does a solar & energy solutions chatbot cost?

Raimond plans start from R5,000/month (Starter) or R10,000/month (Pro). No setup fees, no lock-in contracts. You can build and test your bot for free in our sandbox before paying anything. Compare that to hiring a customer service agent at R15,000-R30,000/month who only works 40 hours a week.
