What Is a Solar Website Migration?

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.

Your Current Site May Be a Liability

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

WordPress pages take 4-6 seconds to load on mobile — and homeowners bail before they ever see your solar quote calculator
Risk: Every extra second costs you 7% in conversions. Your competitors with faster sites are already picking up those leads.
Plugin conflicts break things after every update
Risk: Contact forms stop working, sliders vanish. A broken lead form for just 48 hours during peak solar season can mean thousands in lost installations.
WordPress solar sites routinely score below 40 on Core Web Vitals, which pushes you down in local search
Risk: That directly affects whether you show up when someone searches "solar installers near me."
Solar savings calculators built on WordPress plugins are slow and unreliable on mobile — and 72% of solar research happens on mobile
Risk: A calculator that doesn't work sends homeowners straight to a competitor who makes it easy.
Your hosting costs keep climbing because WordPress chokes on traffic spikes whenever incentive news breaks
Risk: When a state or federal solar announcement drops, your site goes down exactly when demand is highest.
Outdated plugins create security vulnerabilities that expose customer data — names, addresses, energy bills
Risk: A breach is devastating for a business that's asking homeowners to put equipment on their roof.

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.

Full SEO Migration

We build a 1:1 URL map with 301 redirects to protect every ranking you've earned. Then we verify everything in Search Console and monitor for 90 days after launch.

Solar Calculator Rebuild

Custom React-based savings calculators that load instantly and work on any device. We integrate real utility rate data and current federal and state incentives.

Lead Funnel Optimization

Multi-step quote request forms with address autocomplete and roof type selection — built natively, with no plugin dependencies and nothing that can break on you.

Zero-Plugin Architecture

Every feature is native code. No Elementor, no WPForms, no Yoast. Nothing to update, nothing to break, nothing to exploit.

Edge-Deployed Performance

Static generation and edge caching through Vercel deliver sub-second load times globally. Traffic spikes don't faze it.

Content Management with Sanity

Your team manages project galleries, testimonials, and service areas through a clean CMS dashboard — no WordPress admin, no database vulnerabilities.

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Audit & Migration Strategy

Week 1

We crawl your existing WordPress site and catalog every URL, form, calculator, and integration. We map your current SEO profile — rankings, backlinks, structured data — then define the migration path. Full rebuild with Sanity CMS, or headless WordPress if your team needs it.

02

Design & Component Architecture

Week 2-3

We redesign your solar site with conversion-focused layouts and build reusable React components for calculators, service area pages, and project galleries. You approve the designs before a single line of production code gets written.

03

Development & Content Migration

Week 4-6

We build the Next.js site with SSG for speed, migrate all content programmatically, and rebuild forms and calculators as native components. The 301 redirect map gets implemented and every URL gets verified.

04

Testing & Soft Launch

Week 7

We deploy to a staging URL for your team to test. Every form submission gets checked against your CRM, every calculator output gets verified for accuracy, and every page needs to hit 95+ on Lighthouse. We run parallel analytics to catch anything we missed.

05

Go Live & Monitoring

Week 8-12

DNS cutover happens with reduced TTL for fast propagation. We resubmit your sitemap to Search Console, verify redirects in production, and monitor rankings daily for 30 days. Your old WordPress site stays in read-only mode as a fallback.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
