Which records matter most for solar and EV installers?

New-building permits, where the roof and electrical service are still being designed, and Clark County pre-application conferences a year earlier.

Are existing buildings included?

Build-out permits are on the map in your account. Most are interior work, but they show which buildings have active owners and contractors.

How many leads will I see?

A few dozen new buildings and pre-apps across the metro in a typical four weeks. Each one is a whole building and parking lot.

New business leads for solar and EV charger installers in Portland & Vancouver, WA

A new commercial building is the easiest place to add solar and EV charging: the roof is open, the electrical service is being sized, and the parking lot is being designed. A new-building permit means a project where those decisions are being made now; a pre-application conference is the same project a year earlier, when the site plan and the parking count are still being drawn and incentives can still shape the design.

Launch Lookout pulls new-building permits from Portland Permitting & Development, Clark County and the City of Vancouver every day, along with Clark County pre-application conferences, and maps them around your office. Permit descriptions say what is being built, and many carry a valuation.

The owner or developer behind the permit decides whether the building gets panels and chargers, and the electrical contractor sizes the service either way. Reach the owner at the pre-app stage and the general contractor when the permit is filed. New apartment buildings, warehouses and retail centers with big roofs and big parking lots are the ones to watch.
