Counted with a single aggregate query against LA Dept of Building & Safety’s own permit descriptions, dataset pi9x-tg5x, when this page was last rebuilt. It is the pool, not the feed: scoring and per-rule exclusions cut it down from here, and what reaches a rep is the part that clears 65.

What counts as a signal here

5 filings worth a call.

These rules run against the words an applicant in Los Angeles wrote on the form, not against the category the city filed it under. That distinction matters: LA Dept of Building & Safety groups a large share of work under "Bldg-Alter/Repair", which tells you nothing about the trade it feeds.

82

Solar PV install

Direct solar permit, the homeowner has already chosen an installer, so this is a competitive-displacement or attach lead.

77

Battery storage

Storage without solar on record is the strongest solar attach signal there is.

69

Service capacity upgrade

A service upgrade removes the single most common blocker to a solar install.

63

EV charger

EV owners adopt solar at several times the base rate, and the load increase makes the economics obvious.

44

Roof replacement (solar precursor)

A new roof with no solar is the classic precursor: the structure is sound and the homeowner is already spending on the envelope.
