The best solar leads are already pulling permits
A new roof or electrical upgrade permit is a buying signal. Homeowners who just invested in their roof or panel are far more likely to say yes to solar before the next utility bill arrives.
New roof permits
A reroof means the roof is fresh and solar-ready. Reach these homeowners before they start getting quotes from your competitors.
Electrical upgrades
Service and panel upgrades show a home is being prepped for higher loads. These are the easiest solar-ready conversions.
New construction starts
Track new single-family and townhome permits to pitch builders and buyers on solar from day one.
Battery + storage plays
Pair solar with storage by targeting homes in outage-prone areas that are already upgrading electrical systems.

What changes
What this looks like for your solar team
A weekly target list your setters can actually walk, ordered by where work is happening now.
Real filings to reference on the door instead of a cold pitch about saving money.
A clear before-and-after when you test a new ZIP, because last month's list is still there to compare.
Where to begin
The Triangle filings worth watching
Pick one or two to start. Once you see which ones turn into site surveys, widen the net.
Reroof momentum
ZIPs where roofing permits are running hot compared to their own normal pace.
Good for: Choosing this week's canvass and mailer footprint.
Electrical upgrades
Service and panel work — the houses closest to being solar-ready.
Good for: Prioritizing homes that won't need an expensive panel change order.
New residential starts
New single-family and townhome permits, with the builder named where the county publishes it.
Good for: Bidding new-construction solar before the buyer moves in.
Mechanical momentum
Pockets where owners are already replacing systems and thinking about bills.
Good for: Finding neighborhoods primed for an efficiency conversation.
