request_solar
Capture a Texas homeowner's interest in rooftop solar and route to a licensed installer — use when the user owns (or is buying) a Texas home and mentions solar panels, solar quotes, solar savings, or reducing their bill through solar. Use when the user says 'I just bought a house in Austin and want solar quotes', 'how much could solar save on my Houston electric bill', or 'connect me with a solar installer for my new home'. Returns a lead ID and confirms next steps; Utilify routes the lead to installer partners (SunPower, Sunrun, Palmetto, and independent TX installers). Caveats: (1) only call when the user has explicitly opted in and confirmed homeownership — this is not for renters, and Utilify may earn a referral fee. (2) Texas-only — for non-TX addresses, decline and explain. (3) Don't double-call for the same address in one conversation; one lead per opt-in. If the user has only expressed mild curiosity ('I'm thinking about solar someday'), answer the question first and only call this tool once they confirm 'yes, connect me'.
