Buy your .solar domain today

A .solar domain fits businesses that sell, install, maintain or finance solar systems. That includes residential and commercial installers, panel cleaning and maintenance companies, battery and storage specialists, EPC contractors and solar financing businesses.

The main advantage is specificity. brand.solar tells a visitor what the business does before they reach the website, which can be useful when the domain appears on a yard sign, vehicle, postcard or estimate.

No, .solar is an open domain extension, so you do not need a solar qualification, industry accreditation or proof that you operate a solar business to register one.

That makes it possible to secure a name before the business launches or while you are still defining the company. Registration eligibility and business licensing are separate issues, so owning a .solar domain does not give you permission to perform regulated solar work.

No, registering a .solar domain does not require an environmental certification or a commitment to sustainability.

The extension describes the subject of the business, not the environmental performance of its products or services. If you claim specific energy savings, emissions reductions or system performance, those claims still need to be supported independently.

If your business is subject to contractor advertising rules, using .solar does not change those requirements. Your license number and any other required disclosures still need to appear wherever the applicable rules require them, including on your website in jurisdictions that regulate contractor advertising.

The domain itself does not establish that you are licensed. Keep required licensing information easy to find and make sure your business name and advertising do not imply that you perform work outside the scope of your license.

A .solar domain can be particularly useful when it is used as a marketing address rather than buried behind a longer company URL. A name such as brand.solar immediately tells someone who sees it on a truck, sign, postcard or referral where the business sits.

Keep the destination focused on the action you want the visitor to take, such as requesting an estimate, checking service areas or booking a consultation. The extension does the category work, while the landing page needs to give the visitor a clear reason to contact you.

Use .solar when solar is the main product or service you want the business to be known for. .energy is broader, so it leaves more room for a company that works across solar, storage, efficiency, electrification or other energy services.

The choice is really about how specific you want the domain to be. If a customer sees brand.solar, they can reasonably expect solar-related services, while brand.energy leaves the category open.

.green makes a different statement again. It emphasizes an environmental or sustainability angle rather than identifying a particular technology or service.

A .solar domain fits an expanding business as long as solar remains central to it. Adding services such as battery storage, EV charging, heat pumps or broader electrification can make a highly specific domain describe only part of what you offer.

If expansion is part of the plan, consider making your broader company name the primary brand and using the .solar domain for your solar offering. If solar is expected to remain the core business, the narrower name can make the specialization immediately clear.

A .solar address may be unfamiliar to some customers, but familiarity with the extension is only one part of how a solar company establishes credibility. The website should make it easy to verify who you are and why someone should trust the business.

Put the information customers can actually check in prominent places: required license details, company information, real project photos, service areas, contact details and clear pricing or estimate information where appropriate. The domain can explain what you do, but it should not be treated as proof of licensing, experience or quality.
