Ask HN: Review my startup

[sfpowersystem]

Hey guys! we are a startup currently working in developing a All-in-one hardware solution for photovoltaic panel energy generation, we already managed to increase it's generation in up to 40% compared to fixed-tild PVs without the need of any light or movement sensors.

1. I would make sure to get your main domain setup before showing to any potential buyers the wixsite domain makes it look like a smaller or brand new company vs. appearing much larger than you are. 2. Same goes for the @gmail.com contact email. 3. The Logo seems a bit weak, I would think about using a tool such as Snappa to create a solid / polished one or 99Designs. 4. The main CTA "Call-To-Action" should be focused on the customer and not the "Sunflower Power System" tagline... A more benefit focused statement for the prospect. 5. I would consider blurring the image too, it detracts from the prospect reading the CTA first. 6. As gus_massa said, the photos are a must as well as making sure it does not say "Out-Of-Stock", I would consider saying something along the lines of "Pre-Order" if no stock exists yet or get on "Get on Waiting List". 7. The link under "Contact Us" is very misleading. What do you want accomplish with the prospect? Requesting a quote, a phone call, a pre-order, etc? Make sure your CTA is clear with the one at the top of the page. It keeps the sales message clear. 8. I would change this to a more clear CTA of what you want to accomplish: "And if you feel like it, just fill our 5-min survey!". 9. Having the TypeForm link not attached to a HTML button seems sloppy, I would add a CTA button such as "Request a Quote". 10. The color of the contact button blends in too much, I would make a brand color accent that really pops against your base brand color. 11. Make it clear what a prospect can expect for the subscribe button, right now what is it in for them? I would say something like "To get updates about Sunflower System and news about product developments please subscribe below". 12. The site counter seems very 1990/2000. You want to position yourself to look like a huge company even as a start-up. Especially with this vertical in the market. 13. For the learn more I would develop a whitepaper proving the technology. 14. I would also add testimonials and pictures of the units installed at various sites you have them to build additional trust with the prospects.

This seems like a tremendous value you've provided. Unfortunately a new line on HN requies two new lines (one blank), or you can indent two spaces to switch to <pre>-ish mode.

Thank you for letting me know, I am new to HN.

Do you have any photos/videos of the panels while moving?

All the items are "out od stock", why?

Any benchmark to show the 40% improvement?

I'm worried that moving parts break. How long are these expected to last without maintenance?

I'm sorry but do you not have any photos of your actual product on your site? It's possible this is just my browsing setup which is a bit unusual.
