Solar & generators change

How solar & generators businesses get jobs from permits

Re-roof and panel-upgrade permits are the best time to talk solar or backup power. The owner is already spending on the house, and doing it together saves them money.

Sample The permits below are made up to show the idea. Subscribers get the real ones every morning, with the owner and contractor.

  1. 1 Re-roofs, the right time to add solar

    Why it's a lead
    Putting panels on a brand-new roof avoids pulling them off later. Owners who just re-roofed are the easiest solar conversation.
    What to do and when
    Mail the owner while the roof is going on. Offer a quote timed with the roofer's schedule.
    What to say
    "Your new roof is good for 25 years, the same as solar panels. If you add them now, nobody has to take them off later."

  2. 2 Panel upgrades that make a generator easy

    Why it's a lead
    A fresh 200 amp panel makes a standby generator or battery an easy add.
    What to do and when
    Mail a generator or battery offer after the panel work is done.
    What to say
    "Your new panel is ready for backup power. Here's a price for a generator before next storm season."

  3. 3 New homes without backup power

    Why it's a lead
    New owners in a coastal county think about storms in their first summer. Builders rarely include a generator.
    What to do and when
    Mail the owner after closing, before June.
    What to say
    "Most new homes here don't come with backup power. We'll size a generator for your house, free."

The math

A year of the email costs $1,188. If it lands you one install, it has paid for itself. Everything after that is profit.

And if your first 30 days don't pay off, you get your $99 back. You can't lose money trying it.

Next: pick your towns

You'll get re-roofs, panel upgrades and new homes: the permits that lead to your work. You can change this any time.
