For installers

How SolarLead
actually works.

A day in the life of a sales rep using SolarLead.
From coffee to contract.

01
8:00 AM

Fresh permits hit your feed

Overnight, SolarLead pulled every new residential solar permit filed across your territory. You open the app to 27 new permits from the last 24 hours. Each shows property address, system size, contractor, and filing date.

Tip

Filter by city, ZIP, system size, or contractor. Save your favorite filters as one-click views.

02
8:30 AM

Spot your competitor's moves

Your contractor intelligence dashboard shows SunRun just filed 40 permits in a ZIP you've been targeting. Growth rate up 180% this quarter. Time to step up outreach in that area before they lock down the whole neighborhood.

Tip

Track up to 50 competitors. Get alerts when they enter new markets or hit permit-volume milestones.

03
9:00 AM

Unlock homeowner contacts

Pick the 10 most promising permits from your feed. One click unlocks verified phone and email for each. Auto-populates into your CRM via export, or directly into your dialer.

Tip

10 unlocks included per month. Additional unlocks are $5 each — still dramatically cheaper than traditional leads.

04
All day

Call with context

Every call starts with a specific reason: 'I noticed you just filed a permit for a 9.8kW system with Company X.' You're not cold-calling — you're following up on public information with relevance. Conversion rates triple.

Tip

Pair with your preferred dialer. We don't dictate your sales process — we just feed it.

Why this works

Permits beat lead lists.
Every time.

Timing

A permit filing is the earliest verifiable commitment signal. Days after the homeowner says yes, years before solar Facebook ads catch up.

Exclusivity

Public records aren't sold — they're published. Same data source, every competitor. Your advantage is speed and sales execution, not information.

Scale

3,950+ cities. 5,000+ active contractors. 807K+ permits and growing. Filter by anything, in any territory, at any scale.

Economics

One $599 flat fee. Unlimited permits. Compare that to paid leads at $100-$300 each, and the math breaks even on the 3rd install.
