Your Solar Equipment Site Can't Handle What Installers Actually Need
If you're a solar manufacturer watching installers bounce after 40 seconds on your spec pages, your catalog isn't built for how they buy.
Product catalogs, distributor portals, and lead generation sites for solar manufacturers, inverter companies, and equipment distributors.
Your product page loads. The engineer lands with a spec requirement, a project timeline, and three tabs open. They need wattage, certification, and lead time -- right now. Solar equipment website development builds the infrastructure that captures that moment: Algolia search across your full SKU catalog, auto-updating spec sheets in Sanity CMS, quote forms that route to Salesforce in real time, and distributor portals that replace the spreadsheet chaos killing your channel velocity. This isn't about making your brand look premium. It's about turning your website into the tool your procurement teams, installers, and distributors actually use -- before they move to the competitor whose site loads faster and answers questions without a phone call.
What is holding your current website back?
Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.
What Your Website Could Look Like
Custom-designed for your industry. No templates. No stock photos.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
Searchable Product Catalog
Faceted search and filtering across panels, inverters, racking, and BOS components. Buyers filter by wattage, voltage, certifications, and availability--results in milliseconds, not page reloads.
Distributor Portal
An authenticated dealer area with tiered pricing, real inventory visibility, and bulk order forms. Partners log in, check stock, and place orders without ever calling your sales desk.
Dynamic Spec Sheets
Auto-generated product pages pulling structured data from your PIM or ERP. Update a spec once and it pushes across every product page and PDF export automatically.
Quote & Lead Engine
Multi-step quote request forms with product pre-selection, project sizing fields, and CRM routing. Leads land in Salesforce or HubSpot already tagged by product line and region--no manual sorting.
Performance Monitoring
Real-time analytics on catalog engagement, quote conversion rates, and distributor portal usage. You'll see exactly which products are getting attention and where visitors are dropping off.
Certification & Compliance Display
Clear, structured presentation of UL, IEC, and MCS certifications with downloadable test reports. Procurement teams running compliance checks find what they need without asking your sales team for it.
What We Build
Purpose-built features for your industry.
Search breaks when your catalog hits 500 SKUs and WordPress can't keep up
Instant search across thousands of SKUs with typo tolerance and faceted filtering by cert and spec
Distributors abandon orders because your portal is a spreadsheet attached to an email thread
Your product team updates datasheets and images in Sanity without opening a developer ticket
Spec sheets live in PDFs that engineers never open during system design
An embeddable ROI calculator that captures pre-qualified project data with every lead
Quote requests sit in inboxes for 48 hours while hot leads go cold
Localized content, currency, and certification for every region your equipment ships to
Legacy CMS platforms drag your page speed down and Google notices first
Real-time sync with Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP, or NetSuite for accurate routing and inventory
Manual CRM data entry means your sales team loses leads and attribution breaks
ISR rebuilds product pages when content changes -- no full redeploy for 2,000+ SKU catalogs
Built on a Modern, Secure Stack
Our Development Process
From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.
Catalog & Systems Audit
Week 1-2We start by mapping your product taxonomy, existing PIM/ERP data structures, distributor workflows, and lead routing rules. Before a line of code gets written, you get a technical architecture document and sitemap.
Design & Prototype
Week 3-4High-fidelity designs for product detail pages, catalog views, the distributor portal, and quote flows. Interactive Figma prototypes go directly in front of your sales and channel teams for feedback.
Build & Integrate
Week 5-8Next.js frontend, Sanity CMS backend, Algolia search index, and CRM/ERP integrations--all built in parallel. Product data migration runs at the same time, not after.
QA & Data Validation
Week 9-10Cross-browser testing, product data integrity checks against source systems, load testing with realistic catalog sizes, and a full accessibility audit before anything goes live.
Launch & Optimize
Week 11-12Staged rollout with DNS cutover, CDN warming, and search index verification. Then 30 days of post-launch monitoring with conversion rate optimization included.
