How Do Solar Companies Find Installation Leads?
Quick Answer
Solar companies find installation leads by tracking solar permits and related electrical permits. They also monitor new construction permits in solar-friendly communities and renovation permits that may include energy upgrades. Florida's sunshine and energy costs make it a top solar market. PermitMap delivers weekly solar permits by county.
How Solar Companies Find Leads
Solar leads show up as solar permits and the electrical permits that accompany them. A filed solar permit means the homeowner has committed and usually arranged financing, weeks before panels go up. Florida's sun and rising energy costs keep demand strong, and many installs pair with battery storage or EV chargers — additional revenue a tracked permit surfaces early.
Key Takeaways
- Track solar permits and the electrical tie-ins they trigger.
- Target high-energy-use neighborhoods and new builds.
- Upsell battery storage and EV-charger work.

Using PermitMap to find solar leads
PermitMap surfaces solar permits and the electrical tie-ins that come with them, so you see committed installs early. For example, a solar installer in Orange County can filter for residential solar permits filed this week and follow up before a competitor locks in the homeowner.
PermitMap covers Solar permits across Palm Beach County, Hillsborough County, Orange County and every other county we track, refreshed weekly. Start a 14-day trial (card required) to get this week's scored, ranked permits in your inbox every Monday — and reach owners during the 2-4 week window before work begins.
Working solar permits before the installer is locked in
A solar installer in Orange County filters PermitMap to residential solar permits and the electrical-panel permits that frequently accompany them. This week shows nine solar filings; two are paired with 200-amp panel upgrades, a strong signal of a larger system and a bigger ticket.
The installer reaches those homeowners first — they've committed and arranged financing, but the panels aren't up yet, so there's still room to win the job or upsell battery storage. The rest of the list feeds a follow-up sequence. Because a filed permit means the decision is made, the installer spends time on owners who are buying, not tire-kickers filling out a quote form, and gets there before a competitor signs them.
