A homeowner in PG&E territory loses power for the third time in two months. They land on your site at 10pm wanting to know how many Powerwalls they need to keep the fridge, furnace, and a few outlets running for 24 hours during a PSPS event. They do not want to know about kWh round-trip efficiency or grid-tied versus AC-coupled. They want to know if two Powerwall 3s will cover them and what it costs after the 30 percent storage ITC.

SleekAI maps your battery SKUs as a custom post type (Tesla Powerwall 3 at 13.5 kWh, Enphase IQ Battery 5P at 5 kWh, Franklin aPower 2 at 15 kWh), your installed price per kWh (typically $1,100 to $1,400 storage-only, lower if paired with new solar), and your typical load profiles per household size. The bot sizes a system from a stated load (say 4 kWh per day for essentials) plus desired hours of backup (24 hours), recommends two Powerwall 3s at $26,000 installed, applies the standalone storage ITC, and quotes a $18,200 net price.

Generic chatbots fail because they cannot tell that Enphase IQ Battery 5P stacks in 5 kWh increments while Powerwall 3 is 13.5 kWh fixed, that Franklin aPower can island a whole home while a single Powerwall typically covers essentials only, and that AC-coupling adds $1,500 to retrofits versus DC-coupled new installs. SleekAI treats your stocked SKUs in wp_posts and your service rules in postmeta as live data, so the homeowner gets an honest answer that holds up when the site visit happens.

Battery sales are emotional. A homeowner who just lost power for 18 hours during a storm or PSPS event is in buying mode for about 72 hours. After that the urgency fades, the quotes stack up unread, and the project rolls into next year.

Installer sites that capture inquiries with a generic form lose most of those leads inside the 72-hour window. SleekAI changes the math. The bot answers the immediate question (how many Powerwalls and what does it cost) in seconds, applies the storage ITC, and offers a site visit slot before the homeowner closes the tab.

That alone moves your conversion rate from inquiry to deposit by a meaningful margin. The deeper value is consistency. Different sales reps quote the same homeowner different sizes, different brands, and sometimes different ITC math.

The bot quotes from your stocked SKUs, your installed price per kWh, and your actual incentive table every time. Site visits become signing meetings instead of qualifying meetings, which means fewer trucks driving 60 miles to clarify what could have been clarified in chat. Installers who plug their SKUs and incentive rules into SleekAI typically see post-outage lead volume convert at two to three times the rate of form-only sites, and the volume of vague callback-tag requests drops to almost zero.
