Development of a B2B Industry Platform for Renewable Energy (Companies, Products, Categories & Lead Generation)
Budget: $5,000 – $10,000 USD
Want to launch a specialised B2B platform that serves the renewable-energy sector by bringing manufacturers, suppliers, EPCs and service providers together in one searchable hub. The core objective is simple: help companies find each other and start conversations that lead to business.
Project Overview
We are looking for an experienced full-stack developer or development team to build a modern B2B industry platform focused on the renewable energy and solar industry.
The platform should combine three core components within a single ecosystem:
Industry Directory – companies, manufacturers, suppliers
Product Database – technical product pages and specifications
B2B Marketplace – wholesale listings published by distributors and traders
The goal is to create a scalable digital platform where users can discover companies, products, technologies, industry news and wholesale offers.
The platform should be designed as a data-driven web application, not a simple marketing website.
Industry Focus
The initial focus of the platform will be the solar and energy storage industry, including:
Solar panel manufacturers
Solar inverter manufacturers
Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
Solar batteries
Solar EPC companies
Solar installers and integrators
The platform should be built with the flexibility to expand to other clean energy technologies in the future.
Core Platform Modules
The platform will consist of three interconnected modules:
1. Industry Portal
A public platform where users can explore companies, products, technologies and industry information.
2. Product Database
A structured database of renewable energy products with technical specifications and documentation.
3. B2B Marketplace
A wholesale marketplace where distributors and traders can publish product offers.

Design Concept Request
To better understand the developer’s vision for the platform, we would appreciate a simple design concept or wireframe illustrating the general layout and structure of the following key pages:
Homepage
Company profile page
Product page
Marketplace
Marketplace Layout Concept (Optional)
Since the platform will also include a B2B wholesale marketplace, developers are encouraged (optional) to include a simple concept layout for the marketplace module.
This could include a basic wireframe for:
Marketplace homepage
Wholesale listing page
Seller profile page
The goal is to illustrate how wholesale product offers, sellers, and filters would be presented to users.
This does not need to be a full design. A simple structural layout or wireframe is sufficient.
This does not need to be a final UI design. A basic wireframe or layout concept is sufficient to demonstrate the proposed structure and user experience.
The goal is to evaluate how the platform would be organized in terms of:
navigation and search functionality
company profile layout
product presentation
categories and filtering
call-to-action sections (contact supplier / request information)
The concept may be provided as:
a simple sketch
a Figma wireframe
a basic UI layout concept
This will help us better understand the developer’s approach to usability, structure and overall platform direction.
