JanineSunward Solar & Storage, Janine speaking — how can I help?
CallerHi, I'd like to book a survey for solar panels please. I'm hoping to get something arranged for next week if possible.
JanineThanks for calling. Just to get started, is this for a house, a bungalow or a flat?
CallerIt's a house, a semi-detached one actually.
JanineRight. Do you know which direction your roof faces — north, south, east or west?
CallerIt's south-facing, which I think is the best direction for solar panels.
JanineThat's helpful. Are you looking at solar panels only, or solar panels plus a battery?
CallerJust the solar panels for now, I think. I want to see how it goes first.
JanineOkay. What's your postcode?
CallerIt's W D 4 8 H X — that's W, D, 4, 8, H, X.
JanineW D 4, 8 H X — is that right?
CallerYes, that's right.
JanineAnd the house number and street?
CallerIt's 14 Station Road.
JanineThanks. What's your name?
CallerGemma Reid.
JanineAnd roughly what's your monthly electricity bill — only if you're happy to say, it just helps the surveyor?
CallerOh, it's usually around £120 to £130 a month, I'd say.
JanineThanks. We've got a survey slot tomorrow at 10 o'clock with Ade, or tomorrow at 3 o'clock — which suits you better?
CallerTomorrow at 10 o'clock would be perfect, thank you.
JanineBrilliant. Is there anything the team should know — parking, a gate code, dogs?
CallerNo, nothing really — there's plenty of parking on the road outside, so that's fine.
JanineI'll text the confirmation to the number you're calling from. You're all booked, Ade will be with you tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Bye for now.

£79 a month including 300 call minutes, then 15p a minute. Setup is £149, waived for the first five founder customers. There is no contract and no per-seat pricing; one price covers every call to your number.

Do solar and battery installers have to change their phone number to use Ring Janine?

No. You keep your number and divert it to Janine only when you don't answer, using one dial code that works on every UK network. Callers ring the number on your van, your website and Google, and Janine picks up on ring five if you can't.

What does Janine actually say when someone rings a solar installer?

She answers as your business by name, finds out what the caller needs, takes the postcode, address and name, offers a slot from your real availability, reads the details back and texts the confirmation. The transcript on this page is a genuine call.

Does Janine quote prices for solar and battery installers?

Only the prices you give her. She never invents a figure: if something is not on your price list she says the office will confirm and takes a message. Call-out and fixed prices are quoted with what they cover, so a caller never hears a number on its own.

How does Janine handle emergencies for solar and battery installers?

Urgent jobs get the nearest slot today. If nobody is free she says so plainly, puts the caller through to your mobile, and if you can't pick up she takes the details and texts you straight away.
