☀️ Solar Installer Leads Scraper — Solar Company Emails

Solar is the most volatile local vertical in B2B. Incentive changes, interest rates and net-metering rules reshape the installer population every single year: companies appear, merge, pivot into batteries and roofing, or vanish. Which is exactly why a purchased solar installer list is the worst kind of list — it was assembled during a different policy regime.

This Actor rebuilds it from scratch on demand. Give it a city; it reads the live map, visits each company's own website, and returns company name, phone, website, address, emails and social profiles at $8 per 1,000 companies.

Why freshness is the whole product here

Run the same query on the same metro twice a year apart and a double-digit percentage of the rows will have changed. Installers that were residential-only now sell storage. EPCs that were regional got acquired. Sales orgs that were pure door-knock now hold their own license. A dataset generated today encodes today's market structure — that is the difference between a 2% and a 12% reply rate, and it is not something a static database can offer at any price.

Schedule the same input monthly and the dataset diff becomes a market-entry and consolidation tracker for your territory.

Leave the field empty to sweep all six. Adjacent trades — EV charger installers, generator installers, roofing-and-solar hybrids, solar panel cleaning — work as free text in searchQueries.

Data on every company

Who is buying solar installer lists

• Equipment distributors and manufacturers — panels, inverters, racking, batteries. A per-state installer census is a channel plan.
• Solar software — proposal and design tools, CRM, permitting, monitoring, O&M platforms. techStack separates the modern operators from the ones still quoting in spreadsheets.
• Lead sellers and marketing agencies — installers are chronic, repeat buyers of customer acquisition; reviewsCount tells you which ones have volume to protect.
• Financing and PPA providers — every installer needs a lender panel, and adding one is a fast, high-value integration.
• Recruiters and subcontract crews — install labor is the industry's permanent bottleneck.

Price

$0.008 per company delivered ($8 per 1,000) plus a $0.01 start fee per run. A sun-belt metro across all six types normally returns 150–400 companies: $1.20 to $3.20. Colder markets return fewer, and you pay only for what a run actually delivers. No subscription, no minimum, no annual license.

FAQ

Are these installers or door-to-door sales orgs? Both appear, because both list themselves on the map. The distinction is not exposed as a field. A practical filter: sales-only outfits usually have thin sites and few reviews relative to their claimed footprint, while installers publish licensing, service areas and project galleries. If you only want licensed EPCs, cross-check the shortlist against your state's contractor license board.

What email hit rate should I plan for? Solar companies market aggressively and usually publish a contact address — commonly 50–65% of those with a website. Every row keeps a phone number either way, and emailFound splits the file cleanly.

Does it cover NABCEP certification or license numbers? No. That data lives with NABCEP and state licensing boards, not on business listings. This Actor gives you the company's contact surface; certification checks are a separate enrichment step on a much shorter shortlist.

Can I target commercial-only installers? Select Commercial solar company and add terms like "C&I solar" or "solar EPC" via searchQueries. Expect small counts per metro — this segment is thin by nature, so run several cities in one go.

How do I estimate company size? Use reviewsCount as an install-volume proxy and check whether the site lists multiple offices. Solar review counts track completed residential jobs fairly closely.

Do you cover markets outside the US? Yes — pass any location string and set language to match, e.g. "location": "Madrid, Spain", "language": "es". European and Australian solar markets return results the same way.

What about companies with no website? Delivered by default with name, phone, address and rating. Set onlyWithWebsite: true to drop them; dropped rows are never charged.

Is this compliant to use? The Actor collects publicly listed business information and emails companies publish on their own sites for inbound contact. No homeowner, permit or consumer data is involved. Your outreach must follow CAN-SPAM, GDPR where applicable, and TCPA rules for calls and texts.

Off-grid, RV and small-system installers

The six presets are built around grid-tied residential and commercial work. The off-grid world is a separate supply chain with separate distributors, and it is invisible in a standard solar list:

off grid solar installer in Flagstaff, AZ
rv solar installer in Phoenix, AZ
marine solar installer in San Diego, CA
solar generator dealer in Prescott, AZ
cabin solar installation in Payson, AZ

These go in Custom search queries, which override both the installer-type picker and location. Companies are smaller here — often two people and a van — and the person on the published email is the owner.

Geothermal, heat pumps and the wider electrification trade

Anyone selling into home electrification is selling into more than photovoltaics:

geothermal installation company in Madison, WI
heat pump installer in Milwaukee, WI
ev charger installation company in Madison, WI
home battery storage installer in Green Bay, WI
energy efficiency contractor in Appleton, WI

Worth knowing before you build the list: a large share of these companies are HVAC or electrical contractors who added the service, so their Maps category may not say "solar" at all. Searching the service rather than the industry is what surfaces them.

Panel cleaning, O&M and the aftermarket

Every installed system becomes somebody's maintenance contract:

solar panel cleaning service in Las Vegas, NV
solar panel repair company in Henderson, NV
solar operations and maintenance company in Phoenix, AZ
solar system monitoring service in Tucson, AZ

The aftermarket buys different things than installers do — route software, insurance, drone inspection, cleaning equipment — and is almost never separated out in purchased lists. Result counts per metro are small by nature; if a search returns nothing, the actor logs it and finishes successfully with an empty dataset rather than failing, and nothing is charged per lead.
