Why solar installers are worth prospecting
Solar companies buy leads constantly and know their cost per appointment to the dollar. Show them a lower number and you have a meeting.
Where to find solar installers
Almost every solar company has a Google Business Profile, so Google Maps is the most complete public directory of solar installers there is. Prospect Cheap searches it live — the same results a customer sees — then visits each business website to add emails, the owner's name, phone details and social profiles.
Search terms that work well:
| Search term | Source |
|---|---|
| solar installer | Google Maps |
| solar panel installation | Google Maps |
| solar company | Google Maps |
| battery storage | Google Maps |
Who to contact
At most solar companies, the decision-maker is the owner or sales director. Prospect Cheap looks for that person's name on the business website and public profiles and gives each owner match a confidence score, so you can write to a real person instead of "info@".
What solar installers buy
- Appointment-setting and qualified homeowner leads
- Proposal and design software
- Financing partnerships
- Installer recruitment
If you sell any of these, a targeted list of solar installers is the fastest way to fill your pipeline.
Filters that surface the best leads
- Active ads (cross-check the Ad Library)
- Review count 20–150 (growing companies)
- Website present
Every list has quick filters and a full filter panel, so you can narrow thousands of results to the few hundred that fit your offer before you export anything.
How to build a list of solar installers
- Open the Google Maps scraper and choose Bulk keywords. Add "solar installer", "solar panel installation", "solar company" — one per line.
- Pick the country, then a city, state or region. Search several cities at once to cover a whole area.
- Set how many results you want per keyword. You only pay for leads you get; a failed search costs nothing.
- When the list is ready, use the quick filters (active ads (cross-check the Ad Library); review count 20–150 (growing companies)) to focus on the best prospects.
- Export to CSV, or straight into an Instantly or GoHighLevel import file.
Each lead includes business name, category, address, phone (with mobile number and carrier where available), website, every email found, the owner's name and title with a confidence score, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube and TikTok links, rating, review count and Maps rank.
A first email that fits
{FirstName}, what does a booked solar appointment cost {Business} today? We help installers in {State} get them for less — worth comparing?
Keep it short, mention something specific to the business, and ask one easy question. Variables like {FirstName} come straight from the export columns.
Good to know
Big national installers buy centrally; local installers with 20–150 reviews are more responsive.
What it costs
Prospect Cheap charges one credit per lead, and a search that fails costs nothing. A list of 500 solar installers uses 500 credits. The Starter plan includes 10,000 credits a month for $29, and every new account gets 100 free credits to test with — no card needed.
