See it in action

This is what a Zarla solar company website looks like.

A homeowner holding a summer power bill wants to see rooftops like theirs and know who will come and look. This draft leads with installs you've done nearby, then the free assessment.

  • Professional design — not a generic template
  • Looks great on desktop and mobile
  • Content written for your industry
View full template

What actually matters

Homeowners shortlist installers online. The one they trust first gets the first roof visit.

A retiree tired of the August bill, a family adding an EV charger, a dairy with a big south-facing barn roof. Each wants proof you've done it nearby, a straight answer about batteries and a person who'll come out to measure.

Panels, batteries, EV chargers

Every system you install, in a section of its own.

The draft separates rooftop panels, battery backup, EV chargers and commercial work, and shows rooftops you've really done, not stock arrays. Your contractor license and certifications sit beside the warranty in plain words, and financing gets a short, honest explanation.

Off the roof

Drafted on the drive back from an install.

The crew loads the ladders while you say what the company installs. By the yard gate there's a draft to check: battery backup up top, three of this month's rooftops added, live after dinner.

110,000 in March

"Solar panel installation" averages 74,000 US Google searches a month and reached 110,000 in March.

DataForSEO, US, September 2026: "solar installer" averages 22,200 Google searches and drew 6,468 AI assistant questions in September, and "solar companies near me" holds near 14,800. A page per system and town answers them, and Get Found flags gaps in the company's Google listing.

Assessments, requests, messages

Roof visits on your calendar, quote requests with the details.

A homeowner picks a time for a free site assessment and it lands on your Google Calendar. Another sends the quote request form, set up in chat to ask for the address, the roof and the power bill, and it waits in your leads inbox. "Do you install batteries on their own?" comes in on WhatsApp. System design and proposals stay in Aurora or OpenSolar.

Tell Zarla what goes on the roof. It writes the page homeowners read first.

01

Say what you install and where

"I run Sunward Solar: residential panels, battery backup and EV chargers, plus small commercial roofs, across Tucson and Marana." Typed in the truck.

02

Read it as a homeowner comparing three bids

The draft shows the systems, rooftops you've done, your license, the towns you cover and the free assessment one tap away. Scroll it as someone who has never thought about inverters.

03

Put it live, then add each new town

Started installing in Oro Valley? Type it and a town page follows, ready for the homeowners there.

Everything a solar company website needs

Zarla builds solar company websites around what wins a homeowner's trust: installs you've really finished, credentials they can check, the areas you cover, and an easy way to book a free assessment. Here is what that looks like on the page.

  • Installs you've finished, with photos — real rooftops, batteries and carports, not stock panels.
  • What you install — panels, battery backup, EV chargers or commercial systems, each described.
  • Free site assessments booked online — homeowners pick a time for you to see the roof.
  • A quote form with your questions — ask Zarla in chat for address, roof and power-bill fields.
  • The areas you install in — ask Zarla in chat for a service-area map of the towns you cover.
  • Your license and certifications, visible — ask Zarla in chat to add them.
  • Warranties and financing, explained plainly — what's covered, for how long, and how payment works.
  • Real reviews — your Google rating shows on the page once you connect your Business Profile.

Getting found on Google

A big power bill lands. The homeowner starts searching that night.

A homeowner might search Google, tap a nearby installer on Maps, or ask ChatGPT how solar works on a flat roof. Three routes, three different questions.

Google Search

Searches name the system and the place: "solar installer near me", "battery backup installation", "EV charger and solar". Each system and each town you cover can have its own page, ending at the assessment calendar.

Google Maps

Map searchers compare distance and stars, then look for reviews that say "cleanest install", "showed up when promised", "explained the panels". Reviews from Google can be placed on your pages; Get Found looks over the listing for hours, a category and a description.

ChatGPT & AI assistants

Homeowners ask assistants whether battery backup is worth adding, or how long an install takes. Assistants answer from what's published: listings, reviews, and installer sites that explain the options. The AI check gives an example answer about the company.

A page per system

Rooftop panels, batteries, EV chargers, commercial: one page each.

Homeowners search for the system they want. Type: "Add a battery backup page that explains what stays powered in an outage." "Add an EV charger page." "Add a commercial solar page for warehouses and farms." Each closes with the free assessment.
  • Battery backup
  • EV chargers
  • Commercial roofs
  • Rooftop panels
“Create a page for battery backup with solar panels”
Done! I've created your battery backup page with:
  • Hero with a real installed system
  • How backup works in an outage
  • Panel and battery options explained
  • Free site assessment form
  • Installation process timeline

Starting from searches you already get

Your name brings people in. "Battery backup" never does.

Zarla works through the terms Google already shows the site for: the home page catches "solar installer", but "battery backup" goes unmatched while the copy calls it "energy storage", and no town is named. Fix each by typing a sentence.
  • Give batteries their own page
  • Say battery backup, not storage
  • Name the towns you install in
  • Add a description to the listing

Every assessment and request

Three roof visits Thursday, a dairy asking about its barn, and a battery question on WhatsApp.

Thursday has three free assessments on the calendar. A dairy sent the quote request form about panels for its south-facing barn, and the leads inbox ranks it high, flagged for a follow-up. The WhatsApp about batteries pinged your phone so you can answer from the job. Your sales and install teams work the list as team members.

Honest roundup

Wix, Zarla, GoDaddy and Squarespace for solar companies, scored

Zarla builds a solar company's website with your services, a contact form and SEO already in place, as a first draft in about 30 seconds; you add a quote form, a service-area map, online assessment booking and photos of your installs from the dashboard.

Zarla is our product. This order comes from our full comparison, which scores every builder on the same 9 tests, Zarla included, and gives each one a catch.

Best website builders for solar companies: every score, every catch →

  1. 1

    Wix

    Best for

    Owners who care most about quote requests and booked assessments.

    Features
    • An AI builder that writes your pages from a description
    • Aria, an AI agent in the Harmony editor that edits the site and adds pages by chat
    • Wix Bookings with online payments and deposits
    • Invoices and a contacts list built in
    The Catch

    Bookings need the Core plan rather than the cheapest one, and pages for each town you serve are yours to write.

    Zarla vs Wix →
  2. 1

    Zarla

    Best for

    Owners who care most about getting found on Google.

    Features
    • Describe your solar company in a sentence and Zarla writes a complete first draft in about 30 seconds
    • Homeowners book a site assessment online
    • Type changes in plain words, or ask for a new page or a quote form, and the site updates
    • A search coach, plus page suggestions from your own Google Search Console data
    The Catch

    A solar first draft comes with a contact form rather than a quote form (you add one by asking in chat), no service-area map or town pages, and no financing calculator. It's also newer than the big names.

  3. 3

    GoDaddy

    Best for

    Owners who care most about quote requests and booked assessments.

    Features
    • Airo writes a first website for your business in Websites + Marketing
    • Online appointments with a deposit
    • Photo attachments on the contact form
    • Domain, email and website from one company
    The Catch

    Editing by chat, and asking the AI for new pages later, happen in Airo AI Builder, a separate GoDaddy product with its own credits; in Websites + Marketing, pages for each town you serve are yours to write.

    Zarla vs GoDaddy →
  4. 4

    Squarespace

    Best for

    Good if polished design matters most and you don't mind adding a separate booking tool.

    Features
    • Blueprint AI writes a multi-page starting site
    • Design-led templates
    • Invoices and online payments on every plan
    • Acuity Scheduling for appointments, including repeat bookings
    The Catch

    Online booking is a second subscription, Acuity Scheduling, on top of the website plan, and it's managed in a different place.

Growing with you

Will Zarla grow with a busy solar company?

Zarla keeps working as a solar company grows from one crew to several and a second territory: you add a page for each town and system type you want to be found for, assessment bookings and quote requests land in one leads inbox with follow-up reminders, and your sales and install teams work from the same dashboard. Here is what that looks like, and what Zarla doesn't do.

Can I add a page for each neighborhood, town and system type I install?

Yes, one at a time: ask the editor for "a page for battery backup in Tucson" and Zarla writes a new page for it, with its own Google title and description. There's no tool for adding dozens of area pages at once. A Premium site holds up to 100 pages, and a Business site has no page limit.

Can homeowners book a site assessment and request a quote online?

Yes. Homeowners book a free site assessment online, synced to your Google Calendar, and the quote form asks the questions you set in chat — address, roof type, monthly power bill — with every request landing in your leads inbox with an email alert, sorted hottest first. Zarla doesn't design the system, size the array or produce the proposal; solar design software such as Aurora or OpenSolar does.

What happens between the quote and the install?

Every lead waits in the inbox with its stage and a follow-up reminder, so a homeowner who asked for a quote in March isn't forgotten by June, and the WhatsApp button lets them ask about financing or a permit without an email thread. Add pictures of each finished install to your media library and type what to change, so the site keeps showing real rooftops. Zarla doesn't handle permitting, interconnection paperwork or financing applications.

What happens when you add crews and a second territory?

Invite your sales and install teams as team members to work the same inbox and to-do list, where a task typed in plain words, like calling the Garcias back about their battery add-on next Monday, gets its due date. A second territory gets its own pages for the towns you cover, or its own site in the same account.

Can I move my current website to Zarla, and what if I leave later?

Yes, you can bring it across — Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built. If you leave later, Zarla doesn't export your site as files to host somewhere else. You can download your whole contact list as a spreadsheet at any time, and a domain you bought from another company stays registered with them, ready to point at your next site.

Solar company website FAQ

What is the best website builder for solar installers?

Zarla is an AI website builder for small businesses, purpose-built for solar installers. It generates your entire solar company website in about 30 seconds — industry-specific content, local SEO, and built-in lead tracking (a CRM) included. Building and previewing is free; publishing it live starts on the Premium plan. We scored five website builders for solar companies the same way, on nine tests worth 18 points: Wix 14, Zarla 14, GoDaddy 12, Squarespace 11, WordPress.com 11. See the best website builders for solar companies, with every score and each builder's catch.

How much does a solar company website builder cost?

Zarla's solar company website builder is free to build and preview — no credit card required. Publishing your site live starts on the Premium plan, which includes hosting, SSL, unlimited lead tracking (a CRM), online bookings, and unlimited quotes and invoices.

How do I create a solar company website?

With Zarla's solar company website builder, just describe your business in plain English and your entire site is generated in about 30 seconds — content, images, layout, design, and SEO. You can then customize as much or as little as you want — most solar installers go from a blank page to a finished site in minutes.

Will my solar company website show up on Google and Google Maps?

Yes — that's what Zarla's solar company website builder is designed for. Every site comes with SEO-optimized titles, meta descriptions, schema markup, fast page speeds, and mobile-responsive design. Zarla also builds in local SEO signals so you can rank in the Google Maps pack when people search "solar installer near me."

Do I need technical skills to use a solar company website builder?

Not at all. Zarla's AI builds your solar company website automatically — you just describe your business in plain English. Edit anything by typing what you want changed, like "make the headline bigger" or "add a testimonials section." If you can send a text message, you can build a website with Zarla.

How is Zarla different from Wix or Squarespace for solar installers?

On our scores for solar companies, Zarla shares first place with Wix. The difference is how you work: Zarla writes the whole solar company website from a sentence about your business and you change it by typing, with a leads inbox, invoices and payments in the same place; Wix and Squarespace suit owners who like building and fine-tuning the site themselves.

Can a solar company website builder help me get more leads?

That's the whole point of Zarla. It's built to get you found on Google Search, Google Maps, and AI assistants like ChatGPT — and then convert those visitors into actual leads. Every inquiry is captured in a built-in CRM pipeline, and you can send AI-generated quotes and invoices right from the platform.

Does Zarla work for my specific type of solar business?

Yes. Zarla's solar company website builder adapts to your specialty and location — it generates content and design matched to the specific services you offer and the customers you serve.

Can I hire someone to build my solar company website instead?

You can, and for a complex custom build it is often the right call. In the US a freelancer typically charges $500–$2,000 for a small-business site and an agency $3,000–$10,000, and you usually wait two to six weeks; unless you are on a retainer, later changes are billed too. Zarla builds your solar company website in about 30 seconds and you change it yourself by typing what you want. Build and preview it free first, then decide.

Is there a 100% free solar company website builder?

Most "free" builders mean a trial that expires, or a permanent plan that puts their branding on your site and parks it on a long subdomain. Zarla is free to build, preview and edit — no credit card — and publishing your solar company website live on your own domain starts on the Premium plan. Nothing is charged while you're deciding.

Which AI is best for building a solar company website?

General assistants like ChatGPT and Claude write good copy and will happily produce a page for you, but you are left to arrange hosting, a domain, images, forms and SEO before anyone can visit it. A purpose-built AI website builder does that part too: Zarla turns one description of your solar business into a finished, hosted site with all of it already in place, shaped the way solar installers actually need it.

Do I need to buy web hosting for my solar company website?

No. Your solar company website needs hosting to show up when someone searches "solar installer near me", but Zarla hosts it for you once you publish on a paid plan: Google Cloud, the security certificate and automatic backups included, and no hosting account or plugins for solar installers to look after. Read when separate hosting makes sense.

What should a solar company website include?

The pages that turn a homeowner who is comparing installers into a booked assessment: the systems you install (panels, battery backup, EV chargers or commercial work), photos of real installs, your contractor license and certifications, warranties and financing explained plainly, the areas you cover, real reviews, and a quote form that asks for the address and a recent power bill. Mention only incentives that still apply, and check them with a tax professional before they go on the page. Zarla builds the pages and a contact form for you and adds a quote form with those questions when you ask in chat; you add your own install photos and license details.

How much does it cost to have a solar company website built?

In the US, a solar company website built by a freelancer typically costs $500–$2,000 and one from a marketing agency $3,000–$10,000 or more, plus a domain (usually $10–$20 a year) and hosting, and some agencies add a monthly fee for updates. That fee matters in solar, where equipment, financing options and incentives change often and the page has to keep up. A do-it-yourself website builder usually costs $15–$30 a month and you update it yourself. With Zarla, building and previewing your solar company website is free, and publishing it on your own domain starts on the Premium plan, with quote forms, online booking and the lead inbox included.

Is there a solar company website builder app?

You don't need a separate app. Zarla runs in the browser on your phone, so you can build your solar company website from a one-sentence description, add photos of today's install before you leave the job, and answer a new inquiry between jobs — on iPhone, Android or a tablet, with nothing to download from an app store.

How do solar companies get leads?

Mostly by not buying them. Winning the customer is one of the biggest costs left in residential solar — Wood Mackenzie forecasts it at $0.84 a watt in 2026, up 40% — and roughly 100 US solar companies have filed for bankruptcy protection since 2023. The installers that last win homeowners locally: referrals from finished installs, real Google reviews, partnerships with the roofers and electricians who are already on the roof, and a website that shows real rooftops you've installed, your license and certifications, the areas you cover and a quote form that asks for the address and the monthly power bill. Zarla builds that website, adds a page for each town you cover when you ask in chat, and puts every quote request in one leads inbox with follow-up reminders; the free guide to starting a solar company on Zarla covers the rest.
