Solar permit leads by city and ZIP
Fresh roofs and panel upgrades are your warmest solar leads. Solar permits show where installs are happening and who is installing. Re-roof and electrical service-upgrade permits show where the next install is likely.
What feeds a solar list
- Solar PV and battery permits
- Re-roof permits (a new roof is the best time to go solar)
- Electrical panel and service upgrades, EV charger permits
- New-construction permits
Ways to work the list
- Re-roof follow-on: homeowners who just paid for a roof are deciding whether to put panels on it this year.
- Neighbor marketing around installs already permitted on the street.
- Installer share: where the contractor of record is published, see which installers are winning which ZIPs.
Permits in other trades that point to yours
Solar installs drive electrical (panel and battery) and roofing (penetration and warranty) work. Pro Signals carries all trades so you can partner with both.
Upstream: permits that create solar demand

The honest limit. A permit usually means the job is already sold. We say that up front. The value is what happens around it:
- Neighbor marketing around active jobs: same-age houses on the same street.
- Cross-trade follow-on demand: new roof → solar, gutters, insulation; remodel → HVAC, electrical, landscaping, pool; new build → pest, security, landscaping.
- Competitor intelligence: which contractors pull permits where (where the jurisdiction publishes it), and who to recruit as subs.
- Early-stage projects for commercial trades and GC subs.
Solar permit lead questions
Why would a solar installer want roofing permits?
A homeowner with a brand-new roof has removed the most common objection to solar ("my roof needs replacing first"). Those addresses are a short, specific list.
Does a permit mean the job is still open?
Usually not: a permit typically means the job is sold. The value is neighbor marketing around active jobs, cross-trade follow-on work, and competitor intelligence.
