Solar leads in San Francisco, from public record.
A roof replaced in the last 18 months with no solar on record, or a panel upgrade that just opened up service capacity.
5 filings worth a call.
These rules run against the words an applicant in San Francisco wrote on the form, not against the category the city filed it under. That distinction matters: a city's own category labels routinely group unrelated trades together.
Solar PV install
Direct solar permit, the homeowner has already chosen an installer, so this is a competitive-displacement or attach lead.
Battery storage
Storage without solar on record is the strongest solar attach signal there is.
Service capacity upgrade
A service upgrade removes the single most common blocker to a solar install.
EV charger
EV owners adopt solar at several times the base rate, and the load increase makes the economics obvious.
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.
