The Solar Closer Playbook

The complete WhatsApp sales motion, opener to signed proposal, built entirely from real conversations that were reviewed and graded. Every message below is reproduced word for word. Nothing is rewritten, tidied up or invented.

Price-based ads only

Every conversation in here began with an advert that led with a price. The customer already has a number in their head before they message you, so the entire strategy is built on meeting that head-on — quote openly, never gatekeep the figure, then defend it on kit, warranty and aftercare. That is why you will see prices handed out freely in the very first reply.

When we run video ads, this is the wrong playbook. Those leads arrive having seen the work rather than a number, and on those we never mention price in the chat. That is a different strategy and a separate document, which follows this one. Check which campaign the lead came from before you open with anything from here.

204messages
93plays
21conversations
15sections

Check the campaign before you type. Price ad → this playbook. Video ad → do not put a number in the chat; that playbook is being written separately.

Every card has the same shape. Why we send it, then the exchange it came from. Stone bubbles are the customer, green bubbles are you.

The badges are the grading. Each conversation was reviewed and marked — Great convo, Quote sent, Objection handled, Won. Weight the lines accordingly: a message from a Won thread has been proven in the field; one from an ungraded thread is a pattern, not a promise.

Read section 15 before you start. Same closer, same dataset — the moves that cost deals. Knowing those is worth as much as knowing what won.

On the placeholders. Anonymised, aggregated message data from multiple accounts. Names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, postcodes and links are replaced with markers like [lead name], [closer name] and [company name]. That scrubbing is why the odd sentence reads strangely — the message itself is untouched.

Section 1The sales process

Eight stages. Every won deal in the data runs this order.

Opening

Stage 1 — Open as a human, not a brand

Why we send thisNamed person + 'not a chatbot' + the three things you need, all in message one. Drip-feeding the questions loses people.

“Just tell me roughly how much”

That's fine also. Because we don't have any overheads, no mcs scheme to pay for. Our prices are unbelievable compared to mcs installers. Export payments are very small so you effectively pay more for a system then wait 7 to 10 years for export payments to break even. Our costs are £6,495 for 10p 460w Aiko and 5kw Hanchu inverter and a 9.4kwh battery. You ll pay £8,000 elsewhere. So who needs export when you pay so little compared to other installers?

The EcoFlow vs Sigenergy vs cheap-brands comparison

Why we send thisThe heavyweight. Use it when someone is choosing between premium and unbranded, or has asked 'why is yours so much more'. Sent here alongside two live quotes so the document has something to attach to.

Ecoflow and Sigenergy. Both top tier equipment.

You (closer)
Why a customer might choose **[EcoFlow Power Ocean 6kW 1ph Hybrid Inverter]()**, **[EcoFlow PowerOcean Plus | 29.9kW 3ph Hybrid Inverter]()** (as representative EcoFlow PowerOcean solutions) or a Sigenergy system over cheap/unbranded alternatives — focusing on **warranty, specifications, ease of use, installation, and overall value**. --- ## 🟢 **1. Warranty & Long-Term Reliability** ### **EcoFlow PowerOcean** * **15-year manufacturer warranty** — one of the longest available for home battery storage systems. This reflects confidence in long-term performance and durability. * Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology with **over 6,000 full charge/discharge cycles** — significantly more than typical cheaper units. * IP65 protection (dust/weather resistance) — means suitable for indoor or outdoor installation without extra casing. **Why it matters:** A longer warranty and high cycle life reduce the risk of early failure and future replacement costs. By contrast, cheap brands often offer **limited 1–5 year warranties** and much lower rated cycle life, meaning more frequent replacements and potential safety issues. ### **Sigenergy** * Standard **10-year manufacturer warranty** on core SigenStor systems, including battery modules and hybrid inverter. * Optional extended warranties available (e.g., extra 5 years on some components). **Why it matters:** A solid 10-year warranty places Sigenergy significantly above low-end brands (which rarely offer long coverage) but slightly below EcoFlow’s 15-year guarantee. --- ## 🟢 **2. Technical Specifications & Performance** ### **EcoFlow PowerOcean** * Advanced **LFP battery chemistry** with high **Depth of Discharge (~95%)** — nearly all stored energy can be used without degrading the battery life. * Expandable capacity (from small home systems up to large installations) to match evolving energy needs. * Smart **app monitoring** — real-time energy data, tariff optimisation, system health tracking. **Standout Specs:** * Excellent efficiency (up to ~96.5%+). * Built-in fire prevention and advanced thermal safety systems. ### **Sigenergy SigenStor** * **All-in-One modular architecture** — inverter, battery PCS, battery pack and energy management system integrated into one platform. * High efficiency (often ~97%+). * Modular stackable battery design — start with what you need and expand later with extra battery modules. **Standout Specs:** * Multi-phase sizing options up to high kW outputs for larger homes or commercial use. * Safety features including thermal monitoring and fire suppression in battery modules. **Comparison with Cheap Brands:** Low-end systems often lack integrated management, have poorer efficiency, limited expandability or even basic safety protections. They may not include advanced inverter integration or smart energy management at all. --- ## 🟢 **3. Ease of Use & User Experience** ### **EcoFlow PowerOcean** * Designed for **plug-and-play expansion** and intuitive app control — making it easy for homeowners to monitor energy usage, solar generation, tariffs and battery status. * Well-documented interface reduces the need for troubleshooting once installed. ### **Sigenergy** * Uses an integrated **mySigen app** and intelligent energy management system to monitor and optimise at the system level.

Also, another quote i had, (which is looking like [name] be cheaper- £9390 for 15x 470w panels, only 6kw inverter, (so extra 300 for the 8kw would make it £9700), and I guess 5 more panels [name] add a few hundred more too, perhaps around £10k or just over for equivalent?) and with the same 32kwh fogstar and scaffolding etc - the main reason i mention it tho, they suggested aiko panels, and i noticed you used aiko on ur install, is there much difference ? Are they better? Dearer? Or they all much the same these days? (I've no pref, just wondering as guessing u used the best!!) And if when u requote with the 3 x dyness, u can factor in that other price to see if u can get it all down a bit more that be great. I definitely would rather use u as uve been really helpful👍🏻 and I imagine helpful going forward too from the reviews and stuff in your proposal.

We completely understand wanting to compare prices, but our pricing reflects the quality of the equipment we install, the standards we work to, and the level of aftercare and support we provide. It’s the reason our customers leave the reviews you’ve seen. There [name] always be cheaper options in the market, but our focus is on delivering a system that’s installed properly, performs as expected, and is supported long-term. Unfortunately that means we’re not always the cheapest, and we wouldn’t want to cut corners just to compete on price. If quality, reliability and long-term support are important to you, we’d be delighted to work with you. If budget is the main deciding factor, we completely understand and wish you the best with whichever company you choose.

Section 13Radical honesty — the trust engine

Talking a customer out of something is what makes everything else you say believable. This is the differentiator in the data.

Honesty

Talking them out of a £700 upsell

Why we send thisThey asked for a hot water diverter. Refusing the sale, with the arithmetic and 'im just being honest', is the single most trust-building move in this corpus.

Hot water diverters are a thing of the past now solar exports are higher. Are you sure you want one? Your better exporting summer sun for 15p per kwh. Use cheap over night electricity to charge how battery and hot water tank?
