Solar SEO Agency
SEO for Solar Companies Whose Buyers Research Before They Call
We do SEO for solar companies that fit panels and batteries for homes and businesses, so buyers researching an installation can find you on Google, in local map results and in answers given by ChatGPT and other AI assistants. The senior specialist on your account plans domestic, battery and commercial work as three separate markets in search.
- Search platforms optimised, from Google to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Reddit and YouTube

Some of the brands we have worked with
Who this is for
Solar installers we work with
Regional home installers
You fit panels across a county or two, competing with national names. Google shows a local pack for "solar panel installers", so your Google Business Profile must list every area you genuinely cover.
Battery storage installers
"Solar battery storage" results carry ads above and below, product listings and an AI Overview. Your battery page has to show plainly that you survey and fit systems, not just sell a unit.
Commercial solar contractors
"Commercial solar panels" was the largest of the customer searches we checked, mostly from computers. Business owners ask what a system costs and how to work out the return, so answer both on a commercial page of its own.
Installers buying leads
"Solar leads" and "buy solar leads" are searched more than any phrase for solar SEO, a sign that many installers buy their enquiries. Ranking pages of your own bring enquiries without a per-lead charge.
What we do
How homeowners and businesses research solar
Solar is researched at a desk more often than on a phone. Ahrefs' September 2026 UK data put the phone share of searches for "solar panel installers near me" at 41%, and for "solar panel installers" at only 19%. The top ten for "solar panel installers near me" mixed a national energy supplier, Checkatrade, TrustATrader, the MCS installer finder, a listings site and a "best installers" roundup with three regional installers' own pages. AI assistants asked the same thing increasingly reply with a shortlist of named installers rather than ten links.
What our solar SEO covers
A page for each product
Domestic panels, battery storage and commercial systems sit under separate Ahrefs parent topics, such as "solar panels uk", "home battery" and "commercial solar pv", so each gets its own page instead of one shared renewables page.
Area pages where you fit panels
Pages only for the counties and towns you genuinely cover, each showing installs finished there. One of the three regional installers in the top ten we checked ranked with a town page for solar panels.
Profile, photos and reviews
Categories on your Google Business Profile naming your solar and battery work, photos of panels on finished roofs, and a review requested after each installation and answered. Local SEO covers all of it.
Answers on payback and doubts
Buyers research cost, incentives and payback, and People Also Ask raises why people are getting rid of their panels. Each gets a heading and a straight answer, written through our Answer Engine Optimisation work for AI Overviews to draw on.
A site ready for comparison
Core Web Vitals, page speed, indexing and schema markup, plus a sweep for orphan pages, thin content and broken links, so every panel, battery and commercial page is ready when buyers compare installers.
AI assistant visibility
The same details on your site, Google profile and every directory, plus mentions in renewables trade press and local discussion, give assistants a consistent picture of your firm. Generative Engine Optimisation reruns solar buyers' prompts monthly.

What our renewables work means for an installer
Solar is a sector we specialise in. Eco Happy is a heating and renewables comparison platform, not an installer, and our team built it to win UK leads for solar, heat pumps and boilers mainly through organic search. Its write-up is plain about the risk of relying on ads: sales resting on paid media fall to nothing once it is paused. Its renewables pages, solar panels among them, number more than 250. The lesson for an installer is breadth: a page for every product and every key search intent, so enquiries do not hang on ad spend.
How it works
How a solar SEO campaign runs
Quick wins usually appear within four to eight weeks; contested product searches need six to twelve months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Be visible where buyers research: in Google's results and local pack, and in the replies of AI assistants. Paid social then reaches homeowners who have not searched yet, and renewables press coverage, through Digital PR, strengthens how Google and assistants see you.
Certification and proof of past installs, among other things. MCS's installer finder ranked in the top ten for "solar panel installers near me", so name each certification you hold and publish write-ups of finished installs.
Mostly those they can describe clearly and confirm elsewhere. For solar, that means trade directories and "best installers" roundups, plus a thorough Google Business Profile with reviews coming in regularly. Nobody controls who gets named, but we can track how often you are.
Your own where you can, with bought leads or Google Ads covering gaps while pages climb. Bought home energy leads vary wildly in quality, as our founder found in fourteen years of buying them. Search terms from paid campaigns show which solar pages to build next.
It counts, but it is not the deciding factor. Easy Boilers, an online boiler brand our team built, loaded in about 0.8 seconds on PageSpeed Insights, yet simpler builds achieved comparable results. We fix slow panel and battery pages without treating speed as the whole job.
With the searches already being made for what you install, in the areas you cover. Our audit finds the pages nearest to page one and the profile gaps costing you map visibility, and fixes those before any new pages are written.
