A solar website migration means rebuilding your WordPress site on Next.js — keeping your SEO rankings, URL structures, and lead funnels intact while stripping out plugin bloat, slow load times, and security holes. The end result is a faster, more secure site that turns more homeowners into booked consultations and actual installations.
FAQ
Will I lose my Google rankings when migrating my solar site from WordPress to Next.js?
No — not if it's done right. We build a complete 1:1 URL redirect map, preserve all metadata, structured data, and internal linking, then resubmit your sitemap to Search Console. Rankings get monitored daily for 30 days post-launch. Most solar sites see improvements within 4-6 weeks once better Core Web Vitals scores kick in.
How long does a solar website migration from WordPress to Next.js take?
Most solar company migrations take 6-8 weeks. Simpler sites with fewer service area pages can ship in 4-5 weeks. Larger operations with 50+ location pages, custom calculators, and CRM integrations typically need 8-10 weeks. We lock down the timeline during the audit phase, before you commit to anything.
Can I still update content myself after migrating away from WordPress?
Yes. We set up Sanity CMS — or keep WordPress as a headless backend if you'd prefer. Your team can update project galleries, blog posts, testimonials, and service areas through a clean dashboard without touching code. Most clients find Sanity easier than WordPress after about 30 minutes with it.
Will my solar savings calculator still work after migration?
We rebuild your calculator as a native React component — faster, more reliable, and fully optimized for mobile. WordPress plugin calculators are slow and break often. Ours load in under 200ms, pull in real utility rate data, and can automatically surface current federal and state incentive amounts.
How much does it cost to migrate a solar company website to Next.js?
Solar website migrations start at $8,000 for standard sites with lead forms and a project gallery. Sites with custom savings calculators, 20+ service area pages, and CRM integrations typically run $14K-$25K. You get a fixed-fee quote after the initial audit — no hourly billing surprises.
What happens to my WordPress site during the migration?
Your current WordPress site stays live and untouched throughout the entire build. We develop everything on a staging environment. On launch day, we point DNS to the new site and keep your old WordPress install in read-only mode for 30 days as a safety net. Your visitors see zero downtime.
