Solar - WordPress Maintenance
A solar website that goes down, loads slowly, or breaks a financing widget costs real business. We keep solar company WordPress sites running, secure, and up to date so you can stay focused on installations, not website problems.
Overview
ROI calculators and financing platform widgets from GoodLeap, Mosaic, and Sungage can break silently when a plugin or theme update touches the wrong dependency. A broken calculator doesn't throw an obvious error. It just quietly stops converting visitors.
Your site connects to Aurora Solar, Enerflo, and your CRM. An update that breaks one of these connections can stop leads from reaching your pipeline without anyone noticing right away.
Solar buyers arrive skeptical. A site with a broken SSL certificate, slow load times, or security warnings tells them exactly the opposite of what they need to feel, and Google factors page experience into rankings too.
Tax credit percentages, state rebate details, and net metering language become inaccurate as policies change. Our maintenance plans include content review checkpoints that flag outdated incentive information before it costs you buyer trust.
What's included
Updates
Every update is staged and tested before it touches your live site, so a routine update never becomes a broken financing widget or a down site.
Backups
If anything ever goes wrong, we can restore your site fast. Backups are stored off-site, separate from your hosting environment.
Reliability
Continuous monitoring alerts our team the moment your site goes down, so we're usually already fixing it before you notice.
Security
Regular scans catch malware and vulnerabilities before they become a real problem. We harden your site against the most common WordPress attack vectors.
Integrations
Periodic testing of your calculator, financing widgets, and CRM form connections to catch breaks before buyers encounter them.
Performance
We track Core Web Vitals and load time continuously, and flag degradation before it affects rankings or conversion rates.
Financing widget APIs change. Calculator plugins conflict with theme updates. Without regular integration health checks, you may not know a conversion path stopped working until lead volume has already dropped.
A compromised solar site can expose contact form data and get blacklisted by Google, generating the kind of reputation damage that's difficult to recover from when buyers are already skeptical.
WordPress sites slow down over time as plugins accumulate. Declining Core Web Vitals scores translate to declining search rankings, often gradually enough that the cause isn't obvious until the damage is done.
Plans
Three tiers on top of managed hosting. Care plans are scoped on the intake call so you're not paying for a package that doesn't match your site.
Core
Single-market residential installers
Pro
Most solar companies
Priority
Multi-location & commercial installers
Managed hosting starts at $99/mo.

Good to know
Yes. We take on maintenance for sites we didn't build, provided we can review the existing codebase and integration setup first. We do a brief technical audit before onboarding so we understand what we're working with, and we'll flag any existing issues upfront.
We test updates on a staging environment before applying them to your live site. If a conflict is caught in staging, we hold the update and resolve it before anything changes on production. If something breaks anyway, we roll back promptly and address the root cause before reapplying.
Incentive language, rebate details, and net metering updates are scoped a la carte at our hourly rate on top of your maintenance plan. We also flag pages with time-sensitive incentive content during routine reviews so nothing important goes stale.
We manage the WordPress application layer, covering core, plugins, themes, performance, and security. Hosting is a separate arrangement. We have preferred hosting partners we can recommend, and we work well with most major managed WordPress hosts.
