InstallerHQ
For solar installers

The savings question,
answered on your site.

A homeowner wants one number, and they will hold you to it at the survey. SolarCheck reads their actual roof from satellite imagery and prices the output the same way you have to — so the figure on your website survives the kitchen table.

On the website you already have · from £149/month · no lock-in

SolarCheck is a solar installer's own website tool. A homeowner enters their postcode, it checks the live 2026 rules against that property, and returns an indicative answer in about thirty seconds — then AnswerHQ offers them a callback. Every enquiry belongs to the installer alone and is never shared with another company.

Try it

This is your checker.
Put a real postcode in it.

Already set to solar. Not a video, not a screenshot — the same software your install would get, calling the same live data.

Live government data. Figures are indicative and confirmed at application or survey. On your site it wears your logo and your colours.

AnswerHQ

A number is not a job.
Something has to book them.

A homeowner who gets an answer at nine on a Sunday evening will not ring you on Monday. They will carry on scrolling. AnswerHQ is the chat on your site — your logo on the button, your name at the top, your words in the answers — that picks that moment up. The one in the corner of this page is ours, wearing our logo.

01

It is yours, not ours

Your logo on the button, your business name at the top of the panel, and answers drawn from your own pages — your coverage area, your timescales, what you fit, what you charge if you publish it. Nothing about InstallerHQ appears in front of your customer.

02

It hands you the warm ones

When someone is clearly ready it stops answering and points them at you, while they are still on the page and still interested, rather than leaving them to find your number.

03

It says when it does not know

Ask it something your site does not cover and it says so and takes a callback. It will not invent a price, a coverage area or an accreditation, because that does not lose you one job — it creates a complaint with a screenshot.

On a solar site it wears your logo and your name, and answers in your words from your own pages — not ours. £79 a month on its own, £199 with your checker. Open it and see

What your customers are typing

They are already searching.
Your site just cannot answer.

These are the questions that bring a solar customer to a website. Every one of them is someone who has decided they want it and is checking whether they can have it.

  • “how much would solar save me”
  • “is my roof suitable for solar panels”
  • “solar panels payback uk 2026”
  • “is a battery worth it with solar”

Land them on a page that answers the thing they typed, and you are not competing on price. You are the reason they are having the conversation.

Where your enquiries come from now

Someone already owns
a checker like this one.

It sits on a website you have never heard of, built to look like an installer's. The homeowner answers its questions thinking they are talking to you. You get their phone number afterwards, at a price, at the same moment two other installers get it.

Renting the enquiry

Solar is the most heavily traded enquiry in the trade, and the homeowner knows it. By the time you ring, they have taken four calls already and they are bored of the script.

Someone holding four quotes is not choosing an installer. They are running an auction, and you have been entered into it as a bidder.

Stop paying and it stops. Nothing you spent built anything you keep, and the checker that earned the enquiry still is not yours. How a lead portal works, in full

Owning the enquiry

The same job, on your own domain, under your own name. The homeowner who fills it in was already on your website, and the answer they get has your logo on it.

Nobody else is called. There is no exclusivity clause to read, because an enquiry that arrives through your own site cannot structurally be sold to anyone else.

£149 a month, flat, however many people use it. £199 with AnswerHQ booking them in around the clock.

What a bought solar job actually costs you

Starting figures only. Put your own in — nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored.

In lead fees for every job you win —
Times you drive out for each one —
A month in lead feesagainst £149 flat, on your own site —

Every figure in that sum is yours. We have not put one of our own anywhere in it, and the arithmetic is the obvious one: lead price divided by close rate.

The rules, for your trade

MGD 003 method

Checked against gov.uk on 22 September 2026 and kept current, so your website is never quoting last year's scheme.

01

It measures the roof, it does not guess it

Usable area, pitch and orientation come off Google’s survey imagery for that address, then an array is sized to what the roof actually takes.

02

The saving is split in two, because the halves are not equal

A unit used in the house saves the import price; a unit exported earns the SEG rate. That is roughly a 2.2× spread, and a calculator that blends them is guessing which side your customer falls on.

03

Self-consumption from the MCS tables

MGD 003 — the same lookup an MCS-certified installer has to use for a performance estimate. So your website figure and your survey paperwork agree instead of arguing.

04

No invented payback, no 5% energy inflation

Most solar calculators roughly double their lifetime figure on an assumption nobody can check. This one assumes zero inflation, includes panel degradation, and will not quote a payback from a system price it made up.

Your own enquiry engine

Then point your own ads
at your own checker.

This is the part that replaces buying leads rather than just converting the visitors you already had. It is exactly what the lead sellers do. There is no trick to it, and none of it belongs to them.

01

They run the ads

A lead seller bids on “solar grant” and sends the click to a checker on a domain you have never heard of. The homeowner never learns your name.

02

You run the same ads

Same search, same intent, same click. It lands on your page, on your domain, with your checker on it. You pay Google directly instead of paying someone else's margin on top.

03

The enquiry is already yours

No queue, no shared list, no thirty-day exclusivity window. It arrives in your inbox with a name, a postcode and an answer already attached.

The honest part. This only works if something is sending people to your website. A checker on a site nobody visits earns nothing, and we would rather say that here than three months into a subscription. If your traffic is thin today, the checker still pays for itself on the visitors you already get — but the ads are what turn it into a pipeline.

Running them yourself is the right answer and the cheapest one. If you would rather not, we do it from £895 a month plus your ad spend, paid straight to Google rather than through us. How that works

Pricing

From £149 a month.

SolarCheck on its own is £149. With AnswerHQ answering and booking around the clock it is £199. If you would rather we sent the traffic as well, that is from £895 plus ad spend.

FAQ

Solar installers, answered

Why is the figure lower than other calculators?
Because most of them value every generated unit at the import price, or assume energy prices rise 5% a year, or both. Those two assumptions roughly double a lifetime number. A figure your customer cannot reproduce at the survey costs you the job at the worst possible moment.
Does it handle batteries?
Yes, as a separate figure rather than folded into the headline. Storage is the most overstated upsell in this industry — the uplift is shown on its own, from the same MCS tables, so the homeowner can see what a battery is actually worth to them.
What does the homeowner actually see?
Their own roof from above, cropped to their building, and a yearly saving split into what it takes off the bill and what the export tariff pays. Plus system size, panel count and the share used at home.
Is it accurate enough to quote from?
It is an estimate and says so on screen. MGD 003 is explicit that it gives an average across similar properties rather than a prediction for one house. What it is accurate enough for is a conversation that does not fall apart when you visit.
