A Solar Installer's Website in Lebanon: What to Build to Win Quote Requests

For years, many Lebanese households and businesses have patched together their own electricity: a neighbourhood generator subscription, a battery and inverter, and increasingly solar panels. That has created a crowded market of solar installers, from established companies to one-man teams, and a buyer who has heard at least one story about a system that underperformed or an installer who stopped answering the phone.

Search for a solar installer in Lebanon and you will mostly find company pages that call themselves leaders without saying anything checkable, old directory lists, and Facebook pages with a phone number. A buyer comparing three quotes is not looking for a slogan. They are looking for a company that explains what they are buying clearly enough to trust.

What a buyer is really trying to work out

Someone requesting a solar quote usually has the same worries, whether it is a flat, a shop, a clinic or a farm pump:

• Will this system actually run what I need it to run, including at night and on a cloudy day?
• Which brands of panel, inverter and battery are going into it, and what is guaranteed on each?
• Who comes back if something fails, and how fast?
• What is included in the price, and what will be added later?

A website that answers those four questions plainly, before anyone calls, saves both sides time and quietly filters out buyers who only want the lowest number. Our guide on setting up backup power for remote work shows how a household thinks about this decision from the other side.

Show how a quote is actually made

The strongest page on a solar installer's site is usually the one nobody bothers to write: how you go from "I want solar" to a quote. Explain the steps in order:

1. A list of what you want to power. Appliances, hours of use, and whether the aim is to run everything or only essentials.
2. A visit or photos of the roof or ground space, including shade and orientation.
3. A written proposal that names the equipment and what the price covers.

A buyer who reads this knows what to prepare, and a company that explains its process looks less like a stranger with a van. Add a short quote request form that asks for the location, the type of building and what they currently use for power, plus a plain WhatsApp button.

Say what is included, and put warranties in writing

List what a typical package contains: panels, inverter, batteries if any, mounting, cabling, protection and earthing, installation labour and any monitoring. If there are exclusions, say so on the page rather than after the deposit.

Warranties are where trust is won or lost. State them component by component, in the manufacturer's terms, and say who handles a claim. Do not publish a warranty length you cannot show on paper. Name the brands you install; hiding them tells a careful buyer to ask harder questions.

Show real installations, not stock photos

A gallery of actual completed installations, with the location (with the customer's permission), the kind of building and what the system powers, does more than any claim. If you cannot show a project, do not use someone else's. Real photos and a short note from the customer who agreed to it are worth more than a page of adjectives.

Be careful with savings. Do not publish payback times or percentage savings you cannot back with a real project. If you show a number, show where it came from, such as one customer's own bills before and after, with their consent.

Be findable where people search

Buyers usually search for someone who serves their area. A local SEO expert, listed on Furrsati at roughly $300 to $1,000 a month, can set up your Google business listing, service-area pages for the places you genuinely cover, and consistent contact details across directories. Build area pages only for places you really work in, or they will read as filler.

Get the words right

Installer pages tend to be full of generic claims. A website copywriter, listed at roughly $30 to $150 a page, can turn your process, your inclusions and your warranty terms into plain, specific copy in Arabic and English. For help deciding the languages, see Arabic, English or French for a Lebanese business website. Have every page read by a proofreader before it goes live; see how to hire a proofreader for Arabic, French and English.

Handle the enquiries that come in

A solar quote request can arrive at any hour, and the company that replies first with a sensible question often gets the site visit. A customer support freelancer, listed at roughly $5 to $15 an hour, can answer WhatsApp messages, collect the appliance list and book the visit while the technical team is on a roof.

Build the core site first

The website itself is a small business website, listed on Furrsati at roughly $350 to $900: a home page, how a quote works, what is included, projects, warranty and service information, and contact. See our website cost breakdown for what moves that price.

What to check before you hire

• Only publish claims you can prove. Certifications, partnerships and warranty terms should be real and documented. A solar buyer checks.
• Decide who owns the domain, the Google listing and the WhatsApp Business number before launch, and write it down. See website maintenance after launch.
• Test the quote form yourself, from a phone, and confirm the message really reaches someone who will answer it.
• Agree who updates the project gallery after each completed job, so the site does not freeze at launch.

Hiring and paying safely

Split the work into milestones: the core site first, then copy and proofreading, then local search setup. Use our job brief guide to write the scope.

Furrsati removes the risk on payment. You post your project, compare proposals from verified freelancers, fund a milestone, and release payment only once you've approved the work, with milestone funds held by Stripe until you release them. The service fee comes off the freelancer's side, so only standard card processing is added to your bill, and wallet-funded milestones carry none. Freelancers verify their identity before they can withdraw; as a client you need no verification. Payouts reach the freelancer inside Lebanon by OMT, Whish, bank transfer or USDT.

Your next step

Hire a small business website developer on Furrsati for the core site, then a local SEO expert so buyers in your area find you when they start comparing quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a solar installer's website in Lebanon include?

A clear explanation of how a quote is made, what a typical package includes and excludes, the brands you install, warranty terms component by component, real photos of completed installations, and a quote request form plus a WhatsApp button that actually gets answered.

How much does a solar company website cost in Lebanon?

A core site is listed on Furrsati as a small business website at roughly $350 to $900. Local SEO is listed at roughly $300 to $1,000 a month, and page copy at roughly $30 to $150 a page. The final price depends on the number of pages and languages.

Should a solar installer publish prices online?

You do not have to. A quote depends on the building and what the buyer wants to power. What helps is explaining what the price covers and what affects it, so a buyer can compare quotes on the same basis rather than on a single number.

Is it safe to publish savings or payback figures?

Only if you can back them with a real project. If you show a number, say where it came from, for example one customer's actual bills before and after, with their consent. Do not publish generic savings claims you cannot prove.

How do I make a small solar company look trustworthy online?

Name the brands, put each warranty in writing, show real installations with the customer's permission, state who handles service after the sale, and make sure a real person answers WhatsApp quickly.

Do I need an Arabic website for a solar company?

Many buyers search in Arabic, so the core pages should exist in Arabic, written natively rather than machine-translated. Add English if you also sell to businesses or buyers abroad, and have every language proofread before launch.
