Solar · Sunbase-native
Every Solar lead. Every consult booked.
Solar leads don't wait — the first company to answer wins the site visit. Niche picks up in under a second, qualifies roof + bill + co-homeowner, and books the consultation in Sunbase — showroom or in-home, 2-hour window and all.

How it works
Lead in Sunbase. Consult on calendar.
Niche sits between your lead sources and Sunbase — answering instantly, booking against live slots, and writing everything back where your reps already work.
- Step 01
Lead arrives
Solar, Facebook, or your inbound line — Sunbase creates the customer and Niche syncs it via webhook with lead source, territory, and status tags.
- Step 02
Niche answers
Voice AI picks up in under a second, qualifies roof ownership, utility bill, and co-homeowner — then routes to the right territory queue.
- Step 03
Consult booked
AI reads live Sunbase slots — showroom walkthrough or 2-hour in-home window — confirms verbally, and writes the appointment before hang-up.
- Step 04
Notes sync back
Workflows append call notes to the Sunbase customer record. Reps open Sunbase and the transcript, disposition, and booking details are already there.
What's costing you consults
Slow callbacks. Empty calendars.
-
Speed-to-lead decides who wins
Solar, Facebook, and door-knock referrals all expect a call back in minutes. Voicemail means the homeowner already booked your competitor.
-
Showroom vs. in-home routing is manual
Some leads need a showroom walkthrough; others need an in-home energy audit. Sorting that on a sticky note costs you Saturday slots.
-
CRM data lives in Sunbase, calls live elsewhere
Reps re-type lead source, territory, and appointment notes after every call. Tags drift. Pipelines lie.
-
Multi-market territories need routing
Vegas showroom leads and California in-home consults shouldn't land in the same rep queue — but one 800 number shouldn't either.
Built for solar sales
CRM sync. Consult booking. Follow-up.
-
Sunbase-native lead sync
Customers sync from Sunbase via webhook + nightly reconciliation. Lead status, source, territory, and appointment fields land as namespaced tags on every contact — no re-keying.
-
AI books consultations mid-call
Voice AI reads live Sunbase slots, offers 2-hour in-home windows or showroom times, confirms date + time verbally, and writes the appointment before the homeowner hangs up.
-
Self-service booking links
Send a branded booking link after any touchpoint. Homeowners pick showroom or in-home, see real availability, and get SMS confirmation with utility-bill reminders baked in.
-
Territory-aware routing
Route inbound leads to the right office by Sunbase territory UUID. Multi-market installers keep one number and one workflow — each market gets the right rep.
-
Notes flow back to Sunbase
Workflows push call transcripts and disposition notes to the linked Sunbase customer record automatically — reps open Sunbase and the story is already there.
-
Tag-triggered follow-up
Fire outreach when `sunbase:leadStatus:EC_in_progress` hits, or suppress when DNC is set. Workflows read the same tags your sales managers already use.
-

Niche builds branded quote experiences on your domain — Google Solar roof intelligence, live savings sliders, quote configurator, and Sunbase sync on submit (lead source `niche-calculator-solup`). Live example: Sol-Up at solup.nicheandleads.com.

Consultation booking
Showroom or in-home. Same Sunbase calendar.
Niche books both consultation types against live Sunbase availability — on the phone, via self-service link, or through outreach campaigns.
Showroom
Free Showroom Solar Consultation
Walk homeowners through panels, financing, and battery options on your turf. SMS confirmations remind them to bring a co-homeowner and a recent utility bill.
In-home
Free In-Home Solar Consultation
Energy consultants visit during a scheduled 2-hour window. Niche narrates available slots in the homeowner's timezone, confirms the window verbally, and books before hang-up.

Solar-specific questions.
- Does Niche integrate with Sunbase?
- Yes — natively. Customer records sync inbound via webhook and nightly reconciliation; appointments book against live Sunbase slots; and workflow actions push notes back to the linked Sunbase customer.
- Can the AI book showroom and in-home consultations?
- Yes. Niche reads your Sunbase availability, offers the right consultation type, confirms the 2-hour in-home window or showroom time verbally, and writes the appointment before the call ends.
- How does territory routing work?
- Configure territory UUIDs in your Sunbase integration settings. Inbound customers route to the business that owns their territory — with schema-level fallbacks for markets like Las Vegas.
- Will call notes sync back to Sunbase?
- Yes. The `update_sunbase_notes` workflow action appends structured call notes to the Sunbase customer record — disposition, transcript summary, and appointment details included.
- Can homeowners book without calling?
- Yes. Branded self-service links at `/book/:token` show live Sunbase slots, handle showroom vs. in-home selection, and send SMS confirmations with co-homeowner + utility-bill reminders.
- Does Niche offer a solar quote calculator?
- Yes — white-label on your domain. Homeowners get address-based roof analysis (Google Solar), live savings estimates, and a post-submit quote configurator. Leads land in Sunbase with source niche-calculator-solup. See the live Sol-Up deployment at https://solup.nicheandleads.com/.
