SolarReviews is one of the top solar-lead aggregators — and like every shared form-fill source, the homeowner you "won" is the same homeowner three other installers also won. PermitGrab gives you permit-verified solar prospects (re-roof permits = 18-25% solar attach rate) with one buyer per zip code. $149/mo flat unlimited.
Real permits filed in the last 7 days. Contractor names and phone numbers unmask on the trial.

Cancel anytime. Your leads aren't resold to four competitors like Angi or HomeAdvisor.
Same problem as every shared form-fill aggregator: the lead goes to 4-6 installers, so you're racing 3 competitors who got the same lead 30 seconds before you. Contact rates run 30-50%, close rates 5-12%. True cost per closed install lands at $1,200-2,500.
A permit means a homeowner has already committed money to a roof or service-upgrade project. That's bottom-of-funnel commitment, not top-of-funnel curiosity. First-contact close rate runs 8-15%. See <a href="/blog/permit-based-vs-form-fill-solar-leads">permit vs form-fill comparison</a> for the full math.
SolarReviews at $60 avg × 8% close = $750 per customer + your rep's time chasing shared leads. PermitGrab at $149/mo unlimited pulling 30 permits/mo + closing 2 = $75 per customer. 10x cheaper on raw cost, though you need a sales motion to make it work.
Yes — most installers do for the first 60 days, then drop the shared-lead spend once permit-lead flow stabilizes. See <a href="/blog/solar-lead-sources-compared-2026">all solar lead sources compared</a> for the recommended 3-channel mix.
Yes — filter by permit_type to surface re-roof permits, electrical service upgrades, and solar permits where the source publishes them. Trade categorization is auto-classified from permit descriptions.
