It answers nothing, so they leave to learn
A homeowner mid-research wants savings math, the tax credit, and payback in plain language. A five-page brochure that only says "call us" sends them to a competitor's site to get educated, and quoted.

QUICK FACTS · WEBSITES FOR SOLAR COMPANIES
At a glance.
The whole engagement on one ticket. Read it in a minute, then bring us the hard questions on the call.
- What it is
- A hand-coded solar website: design, build, page speed, mobile, working quote forms, and real pages for savings, financing, tax credits, battery storage, and your recent installs. The asset you own and hand a homeowner mid-decision, not an ongoing ranking program.
- Timeline
- A focused solar site is a matter of weeks, not months. The clock depends on how fast we get your financing options, service area, and real install photos with system size and savings. You get a real launch date on the strategy call.
- Investment
- Quoted at the strategy call, scoped to how many service, financing, and location pages you need and whether it is a fresh build or a redesign. No fixed menu price fits every solar company honestly.
- What you get
- A fast static site, a savings-and-payback story, a financing path, a tax-credit explainer, a battery-storage section, real install proof, service-area pages, and clean structure so AI answers can read you.
- What's not included
- This is the build and the asset, not the ongoing campaign. Keyword rankings, backlinks, map-pack work, and the recurring AI-visibility program live in the SEO and local-search silos after launch.
- Managed how
- Built in-house, hand-coded, on a site and domain you own outright. No platform lock-in, no subscription that holds your site hostage, nothing subcontracted overseas.
- Who it's for
- Established solar companies already installing panels and batteries, tired of a template that looks fine but never earns the quote request from a homeowner who spent three weeks comparing.
- Who it's not for
- Brand-new one-crew outfits with no installs to show, or owners hunting the cheapest $99-a-month DIY builder. We say no to bad fits.
SOLAR WEBSITES
Solar is bought slowly, over many visits
Website design for solar companies has to account for the one thing that makes solar unlike a burst pipe or a dead AC: nobody buys it in a hurry. A homeowner does not wake up needing panels. They see a neighbor's array, or an electric bill that keeps climbing, and they start reading. Then they read for weeks. They come to your site, leave, price two competitors, watch a YouTube explainer, ask their brother-in-law, and come back. By the time they request a quote, they have visited your site three or four times and half-understood the 30 percent federal tax credit. The site's whole job is to survive that long consideration and still be the company they call.
A brochure template cannot do that. The solar buyer arrives with real questions and real fear of being oversold: what will I actually save, how does the tax credit work, what is my payback period, do I need a battery, what happens if you go out of business in year three. A five-page site that only says "we install solar, call us" answers none of it, so the homeowner keeps clicking until someone else's site does the teaching. The fix is a site built to educate: a savings and payback story, a financing path, a plain-language tax-credit page, and a battery-storage section, each earning trust one visit at a time.
Most solar owners we talk to have already been burned by exactly the wrong build: a $99-a-month builder, a nephew with a WordPress login, or a template that looked done and never returned a quote form. The site that wins a slow, five-figure decision is fast, honest, and full of real install proof, not a slideshow.
[ 01 ] THE PROBLEM
Why solar template sites lose the slow buyer
You install clean systems. The site still loses the homeowner who took three weeks to decide.
The quote form silently fails
A solar quote comes after weeks of thinking, often at 10pm. If that form dies into a dead inbox, the owner assumes the market is slow. The site is broken and the lead is gone.
No proof, no trust for a five-figure buy
Nobody hands over $25,000 to a site with stock photos and zero real installs. Without system sizes, savings, and local job photos, the homeowner cannot tell you from a fly-by-night door knocker.
Slow load kills the third visit
By visit three the homeowner is close. If the hero waits on a 4MB slider and the page hangs, that hesitation reads as one more reason to go with the competitor whose site just worked.
[ 02 ] THE METHOD
What we build into a solar site
The long buying cycle, answered visit by visit, wired to reach you the moment the homeowner is ready.
Savings and payback story
A clear section on what a system saves against a rising electric bill and roughly when it pays for itself, written so a skeptical homeowner trusts it, not a spammy "free solar" gimmick.
Tax-credit explainer
A plain-language page on the 30 percent federal residential credit and how it changes the real cost, so the homeowner learns it on your site and associates the answer with your company.
Financing path
A clear section on loan, cash, and any lease or PPA options you offer, so a buyer who cannot write a check today still sees a way forward instead of closing the tab.
Battery-storage section
A dedicated page for storage and backup power, the upsell and the reason many homeowners buy now, wired so a "solar battery" search lands somewhere that actually speaks to it.
Real install proof
Space for real local installs with system size, panel count, and savings, plus service-area pages, so the site earns a five-figure decision the way references and photos do in person.
Built AI-readable
Plain-language answers and clean schema for your services, service area, and financing, so ChatGPT and Google's AI answers can read and quote your company when someone asks who installs solar in town.

[ 07 ] STRAIGHT ANSWERS
What contractors ask us most.
The questions solar owners actually ask on the strategy call.
01How much does a solar company website cost?
It depends on how many service, financing, and location pages you need and whether it is a fresh build or a redesign. We quote it on the strategy call once we see your service area, financing options, and installs, not from a menu. There is no fixed number that fits every solar company honestly.
02How long does a solar website take to build?
A focused solar site is typically a matter of weeks, not months, because we hand-code from a clear structure instead of wrestling a page builder. The timeline depends mostly on how fast we get your financing details, service area, and real install photos. You get a real date on the strategy call.
03Do you build on WordPress?
No. We build hand-coded static sites: no WordPress, no page-builder, no plugin stack. That is why they load in under 2 seconds and stay fast across the many visits a solar buyer makes before deciding. For a slow, five-figure purchase, a site that never hangs is the whole point.
04Can the site explain the tax credit and financing?
Yes, and it should. A plain-language page on the 30 percent federal residential credit and a clear financing section are two of the most valuable things a solar site does, because the homeowner learns the answer on your site and ties it to your company instead of a competitor's. We keep it honest and current, and we do not give tax advice, we point the buyer to their preparer for their own situation.
05Do you cover battery storage too?
Yes. Battery and backup power get their own section, because storage is both the upsell and the reason many homeowners finally buy. A "solar battery" search should land on a page that speaks to it, not a generic homepage that never mentions it.
06Will the site help with the long solar sales cycle?
That is the entire design. Solar is bought over weeks of research and comparison, so the site is built to educate and build trust across repeat visits: savings, payback, tax credit, financing, battery, and real install proof, all fast and easy to find. The goal is to be the company the homeowner still trusts on visit four.
07Will the new site help me show up in AI search and the map pack?
We build the site so AI answers and search engines can read and quote it, which is the foundation. Getting it to rank, win the map pack, and stay quoted over time is ongoing work that lives in our SEO and local-search programs. The build is where it starts.
08Do I own the website?
Yes. The site, the content, and the domain are yours outright. Nothing is locked to us, and there is no monthly platform holding it hostage. If we ever part ways, you keep everything you paid for, which is not true of most $99-a-month builders.
