Buying solar leads stopped adding up

The phone race.

One homeowner fills out one form, and it's sold to three or four installers. Whoever dials fastest gets a maybe. Everyone else paid for a hang-up.

Doors that can't buy.

Renters, condos, homes that went solar two years ago. Your reps find out three minutes into the pitch.

Roofs that kill the deal.

A great sit falls apart at "the roof's 22 years old." Now it's a rip-and-replace first, and the deal stalls or dies.

Since the federal solar tax credit ended, every lead costs more and closes less. You can't afford to spend money on homes that were never going to buy.

The best time to sell solar is right after the new roof goes on

When a Florida homeowner spends $18,000 on a new roof, the county records it. The same goes for a 200-amp panel upgrade, a whole-home generator or a new pool. It's public, it's dated, and it tells you exactly who is investing in their home right now.

Good reps already check permit history at the door, by hand, one house at a time. PermitScoop does it for every permit in your territory, every morning, and only shows you the homes that can actually say yes.

One install pays for years of PermitScoop

The average US installer spends about $1,400 on leads to win a single job.¹ PermitScoop's Founding plan costs $1,188 a year. One extra install a year more than pays for it, and every install after that is margin.

Your CRM.

Every morning's CSV loads into GoHighLevel, HubSpot or a spreadsheet in two clicks. (Team plan: automatic sync.)

FAQ

Questions installers ask

Isn't a permit too late? Hasn't the homeowner already hired someone?

For the job on the permit, yes: the roofer or electrician is already hired. The solar job isn't. A new roof or a panel upgrade is the moment a homeowner is most ready for panels, and no installer has sold them yet. We never send solar permits: a solar permit means another installer already won, so we only use those permits to take homes off your list.

Are these exclusive leads?

No. Building permits are public records, and anyone could find them. What we sell is the filtering and the speed: owner-occupied, no existing solar, a fresh trigger, in your inbox the morning after it's filed.

Where does the data come from?

From public records, updated every weekday. No web forms.

How fresh are the leads?

Most are 1–2 business days old. Some areas publish more slowly: Miami-Dade County (unincorporated + municipal) is about 3 business days behind, City of Miami is about 3 business days behind, Orlando is about 15 business days behind, Hillsborough County (unincorporated) is about 4 business days behind, St. Petersburg (new homes and renovations only) is about 3 business days behind, Port St. Lucie is about 3 business days behind. We show each county's freshness above.

Why no phone numbers?

Selling homeowner phone numbers is how lead companies end up in TCPA lawsuits, and so do their customers. You get the owner's name and mailing address, which is all you need for mail and door-knocking. If you need phones, run your own skip-trace.

How is this different from permit-lead sites?

They send every permit in a city, for every trade. We send only the ones a solar installer can sell to: owner-occupied homes, no solar yet, with a solar-relevant trigger, and scored.

Can I cancel?

Any time, in two clicks. No contracts, no per-lead fees.

Which areas are next?

We add counties in the order customers ask for them, starting with those that publish their permits every day. Request yours and we'll tell you when it's live.

Do you sell to roofers?

Not today. PermitScoop is built for solar installers.

Two ways to spend next month

Keep buying shared leads.

Pay $165 a lead, race three other installers, and knock on renters' doors.
