Questions
How are LA solar permits identified?
We match solar, photovoltaic or PV as whole words in LADBS electrical and building alteration permits, which is how most rooftop PV systems and battery tie-ins are filed.
Why are solar permits useful after the panels are sold?
Owners often still need battery storage, an EV charger, roof work or service, and neighbors on the block are warm prospects.
Where do these Los Angeles solar leads come from?
From the City of Los Angeles's official open-data portal (Building, Electrical and Mechanical Permits Issued, datasets pi9x-tg5x, ysqd-apz7 and 67is-svtd). See the methodology page for the exact matching rules.
