Turn website visitors into qualified solar leads.<\/strong> Hayyat Apps Solar Lead Calculator adds a beautiful, multi-step solar estimator to any page. Visitors enter their address and energy usage; the tool analyzes their roof with Google's Solar API and instantly shows a personalized recommendation \u2014 recommended system size, peak sun hours, annual production, roof suitability and a 30-year savings projection \u2014 capturing their name, email and phone as an encrypted lead<\/strong> along the way.<\/p>\n\n

Built for solar companies, installers and lead-gen agencies who want more booked consultations without paying per lead.<\/p>\n\n

Add it anywhere with one shortcode:<\/p>\n\n

[hayyat-solar-calc]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Two result formats \u2014 you choose<\/h4>\n\n
Not every solar business wants to show pricing up front. This plugin ships with two results templates<\/strong>, switchable in one click:<\/p>\n\n
    \n
  1. Feasibility only<\/strong> \u2014 shows the recommended system size, peak sun hours, annual production and roof suitability, with no pricing<\/strong> \u2014 perfect if you'd rather have prospects contact you for a quote.<\/li>\n
  2. Size + savings<\/strong> \u2014 everything above plus<\/strong> the full financial story: estimated cost, federal tax credit, cash vs. financing, ROI\/payback and an interactive 30-year \"cost of energy over time\" chart.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
    Why installers love it<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    • More leads, less friction<\/strong> \u2014 a guided, mobile-friendly wizard that feels effortless and converts.<\/li>\n
    • Real roof data<\/strong> \u2014 Google Solar API sun-hour analysis, with a safe fallback when satellite data isn't available.<\/li>\n
    • Address autocomplete<\/strong> \u2014 fast Google Places search, proxied so your keys never appear in your page source.<\/li>\n
    • Encrypted leads<\/strong> \u2014 every lead's email & phone are stored AES-256 encrypted at rest.<\/li>\n
    • Your leads, your data<\/strong> \u2014 browse leads in the dashboard, see every input and estimate, and export to CSV.<\/li>\n
    • Fully brandable<\/strong> \u2014 customize colors, fonts, layout, every label, error messages and even the image on each step.<\/li>\n
    • Show only what you want<\/strong> \u2014 hide or require any input (address, usage, rate, shading, battery, contact fields).<\/li>\n
    • Tune the numbers<\/strong> \u2014 edit cost per watt, tax credit, finance rate\/term, utility rates and escalation to match your market.<\/li>\n
    • Theme-safe CSS<\/strong> \u2014 fully scoped so it never clashes with Astra, Divi, Elementor or any theme.<\/li>\n
    • CRM ready<\/strong> \u2014 request a done-for-you CRM integration right from the dashboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
      Privacy & security first<\/h4>\n\n
      The plugin holds no Google API keys<\/strong> in its code. All Google Solar\/Places work is proxied server-to-server, so keys are never exposed in the browser. Add your own<\/strong> Google Solar & Places keys on the API Settings page (stored encrypted) to run entirely on your own account with no daily limit \u2014 the built-in Setup Guide walks you through it, or email support@hayyatapps.com and we'll set it up for you.<\/p>\n\n
      Free vs. Pro<\/h4>\n\n
      The Free plan includes the full calculator, encrypted lead capture (first 5 leads fully visible), currency selection and the result-template choice. Pro unlocks colors\/fonts\/layout, custom step images, editable labels & error messages, show\/hide & required controls for every input, editable savings assumptions, full lead visibility, CSV export, and removes the \"Powered by\" link.<\/p>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload the hayyat-apps-solar-lead-calculator<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install through the WordPress Plugins screen.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> screen.<\/li>\n
      3. (Recommended) Go to Solar Calculator \u2192 API Settings<\/strong> and add your Google Solar & Places API keys. See the built-in Setup Guide<\/strong>, or email support@hayyatapps.com for help.<\/li>\n
      4. Open Solar Calculator \u2192 Settings<\/strong> to pick your result format, colors, labels, inputs and assumptions.<\/li>\n
      5. Add the [hayyat-solar-calc]<\/code> shortcode to any page or post.<\/li>\n
      6. Watch your leads roll in under Solar Calculator \u2192 Leads<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
        Do I need my own Google API keys?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        You can try the calculator immediately using our shared keys, limited to 10 address and 10 solar lookups per day. For unlimited use, add your own free Google Solar & Places keys on the API Settings page \u2014 the built-in Setup Guide walks you through it.<\/p><\/dd>\n
        Can I hide the pricing\/savings?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        Yes. Set the result template to Feasibility only<\/strong> and visitors see the recommended system size, sun hours, production and suitability \u2014 but no pricing \u2014 so they contact you for a quote.<\/p><\/dd>\n
        Are my visitors' details safe?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        Yes. Email and phone are AES-256 encrypted at rest and only decrypted for the admin Leads screen. Your API keys are used server-side only and never exposed in your page source.<\/p><\/dd>\n
        Can I choose which questions the calculator asks?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        Yes. On the Inputs<\/strong> tab you can show\/hide and require each field \u2014 address, energy usage, electricity rate, shading, battery and the contact fields.<\/p><\/dd>\n
        How accurate are the estimates?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        They use Google's Solar API where available and a configurable sizing\/savings model otherwise. They're designed to set expectations and generate leads, not replace a professional assessment. Every financial assumption is adjustable (Pro).<\/p><\/dd>\n
        Does it work with caching plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        Yes. All Google\/calculation work runs via WordPress AJAX, so it works on cached pages.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
