Real records from live PermitBoards feeds. This public sample redacts contact details; subscribers receive every field the city publishes on the permit.

How the solar feed works

Pick your county on the signup form and choose solar as your trade. Every morning you get that county's new solar permits — nothing else. It starts with a free 14-day sample feed of the real thing; see pricing for what the paid feed includes.

Need solar permits from the last 30 days, once?

Every live market sells a one-off report: one county, the solar lane, the last 30 days, PDF plus full CSV by email — $29 one-time. Or subscribe and get them the morning they file.

Get the one-off report — $29 Or subscribe — $79/mo

Your county's solar permits, tomorrow morning

Start the paid plan when you're ready — $79 a month for one county and one trade, month-to-month, no sales call. Or start with a free 14-day sample feed: the real daily email, built from live permit records. If it doesn't show you work worth chasing, don't pay for it.
