JOBFILTER FOR SOLAR PV INSTALLERS

How Solar Installers Find Rooftops Ready For

The Warm Homes Plan commits £15B and targets upgrades to 5 million homes by 2030. The Future Homes Standard puts solar on the majority of new builds. 369,000 certified installs happened in 2025 alone — a record. JobFilter reads planning approvals, energy signals, and retrofit award lists 4–16 weeks before the homeowner ever starts Googling installers.

NO COMPETING

REAL UK LEADS

STAY IN CONTROL

THE PROBLEM SOLAR PV INSTALLERS FACE

YOU'RE WAITING FOR WORK INSTEAD OF FINDING IT.

LEADS GO TO COMPARISON SITES FIRST

Homeowners visit Checkatrade, Bark, and MCS consumer sites and get four or five solar quotes within hours. You're competing on price with every other installer in your region before you've even spoken to them.

NEW BUILD ESTATES ARE INVISIBLE

A planning approval for a 60-unit estate in your area means 60 potential solar installs — but no installer hears about it until the developer puts the contract out to tender late in the build.

ENERGY UPGRADE DEMAND IS HARD TO TRACK

Properties with low energy ratings are prime solar candidates. Energy performance data is public, but cross-referencing it with location and ownership to find warm leads takes hours most installers don't have.

ENERGY COST PRESSURE CREATES DEMAND BUT NO DIRECTION

Homeowners researching solar because of energy bills start on comparison sites, not by calling local installers. You need to be in front of them before they reach that comparison page.

HOW IT WORKS FOR SOLAR PV INSTALLERS

THREE STEPS. REAL JOBS. NO BULLSHIT.

01

Enter your postcode

Tell us where you operate. We scan planning approvals, energy signals, and new build completions within your working radius for solar-relevant signals.

02

Solar signals get scored

South-facing roof extensions, energy-flagged properties, new estate approvals — each scored by value, urgency, and installation likelihood before it reaches you.

03

Gold leads fire to WhatsApp

A 45-unit new build approved in your area or an energy-flagged property cluster? That's a solar pipeline worth £270k-£495k. You get the alert before anyone else pitches the developer.

WHAT A SOLAR PV INSTALLERS LEAD LOOKS LIKE

THIS IS WHAT HITS YOUR SCREEN BEFORE ANYONE ELSE SEES IT.

WHERE THE JOBS COME FROM

THREE SOURCES. SOLAR PV INSTALLERS-SPECIFIC SIGNALS.

Planning applications

Extension approvals with south-facing roof additions, new build estates, loft conversions, barn conversions, and outbuildings — all visible at approval stage, 4–16 weeks before the homeowner starts Googling installers.

Energy signals

Properties with weak energy ratings are prime solar candidates — high electricity burden, weak fabric, strong payback case. Cross-referenced with ownership and property age to identify the warmest leads in your patch.

Social housing & retrofit programmes

Warm Homes Plan retrofit award lists, social-housing wave funding for solar, and council developer site-start files flag commercial and residential estate contracts before they reach any tender portal.

WHATSAPP BODYGUARD

GOLD LEADS HIT YOUR PHONE. NOT YOUR INBOX. NOT A DASHBOARD.

When a job scores Gold for your trade, it fires to WhatsApp within minutes. You're on the tools — you don't need another app to check.
