Use recent public solar permit records for project research, add-on opportunities, and market intelligence. Check the source date and available fields for each market before you build a list.
Each market page identifies its public source, newest published record, and available fields before you subscribe.
A solar permit is a source-dated public record of a project. Depending on the publishing jurisdiction, it may identify an address, work description, issue or filing date, value, contractor role, or other project fields. It is not an open solar bid, an exclusive consumer enquiry, or proof that a property owner wants another quote.
| Question | Source-backed input | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Where is documented solar activity appearing? | Published location, date, and project type where available | Activity does not establish a future purchase |
| Which public project records deserve follow-up research? | Published contractor role or project description where available | A listed role is not a request for outreach |
| Which markets support a repeatable workflow? | City source, newest record date, and visible field coverage | Coverage and cadence differ by jurisdiction |
A solar install is a roof event. For roofing, service, storage, EV-charger, or property-research teams, a published solar record can provide context for an independent account or territory review. It cannot establish the condition of the roof, a future remove-and-reinstall need, or who will win that work.
Open the city page for the markets you serve and inspect the named public source, newest displayed record, and fields available on current records. Contractor, owner, and phone details are available only where a source publishes them or a verified public record match supports them. Browse covered cities and compare the exact record mix with your existing prospecting process before you act.

Lead vendors sell consumer enquiries. PermitGrab organizes public solar permit activity, source dates, and available fields by city. A solar permit is evidence of a project, not a promise that the homeowner wants a new installation bid. It can support research into service, storage, EV-charger, and local-market opportunities.
No. Building permits are public records, not exclusive form-fill leads. PermitGrab organizes available public records by market and trade; other people may be able to access the underlying municipal source too.
Freshness varies by municipality and source. Each city page shows its public source, newest published record, and available update cadence. Review those signals for your market rather than assuming every city publishes the same day.
Some sources publish a contractor business name or phone; owner fields can also be available from public property records. Availability varies by city and record, and city pages disclose coverage rather than promising a phone or owner for every permit.
