Solar Leads From Building Permits: Which Permits to Watch
Solar companies can find possible prospects in public building permits such as electrical upgrades, re-roofs and new homes. DailyPermitLeads groups these by trade, including solar and electrical, in a daily list for Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe.
Which permit types signal solar interest
- Electrical upgrades: a property preparing for more electrical load can be a natural fit for a solar conversation
- Re-roofs: a new roof can be a good time to talk about solar
- New construction: new homes and builders choosing systems early
- Solar permits: show where solar is already going in, useful for service, batteries or partners
Finding these permits yourself
- Phoenix offers a public permit search, and Mesa, Tempe and Gilbert publish permit data. See How to find new construction permits in Phoenix
How DailyPermitLeads helps solar teams
- Live now: Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe. Updates may lag: Scottsdale and Gilbert. Coming soon: Chandler, Glendale, Peoria and Surprise. DailyPermitLeads is a prototype, so coverage and timing may change.
- Trade groups include remodel, electrical, plumbing, solar, HVAC, new construction, pool and roofing. A permit can fit more than one trade
- Each lead is built from public permit records and can include details such as the permit number, issue date, permit type, description, job address, valuation, and contractor name and license. Details vary by city. Leads do not include owner names.
What to say: helpful, not pushy
- Offer something that fits the project, for example a quote timed to the re-roof
- Respect anyone who says no and keep that on record
Before you reach out
General information, not legal advice. Laws change. Check current law and your own consent and do-not-call records before you call, text, email or mail anyone. DailyPermitLeads is a private B2B data service of PublicRecordData LLC and is not affiliated with any government agency or any other permit-lead service.
A public record is not permission to call or text. Federal law (the TCPA) requires prior express consent for autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones, and prior express written consent when they are marketing. Homeowners are consumers. Their home and cell numbers can be on the National Do Not Call Registry, and telemarketing calls are limited to 8 a.m.-9 p.m. their local time. DailyPermitLeads does not supply phone numbers or emails, and our data carries no consent to contact anyone.
Calls and texts to businesses can still be covered, especially to cell phones. Check the rules before you dial.
Mailers must not look like government notices or suggest a fee is required by law. A disclaimer does not fix a misleading design.
Marketing emails must have honest headers and subject lines, identify themselves as ads, include a valid physical postal address and a working opt-out, and honor opt-outs within 10 business days.
If you make sales calls in Arizona, you may need to register with the Arizona Secretary of State as a telephone seller (A.R.S. 44-1272) unless an exemption applies.
DailyPermitLeads is for business marketing only. It is not a consumer reporting agency, and our data may not be used to decide anyone's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment or housing.
Leads are for your own business's internal use. Resale, sharing or redistribution is not allowed, and we do not offer reseller or bulk licenses.
