Solar installer email list: every solar company in your area, with checked emails

Leadraft builds a list of solar installers from Google Maps for the area you choose: a city, a county, a ZIP code or a shape you draw. Each company comes with its phone, website, address, rating, review count, hours and social profiles, plus up to 5 emails found on the company's own website. Every email is checked against the live mailbox and graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid, and invalid ones are never exported.

How big is the solar installer market?

Solar installers have no NAICS code of their own: the Census Bureau files them under electrical, plumbing and HVAC, or roofing contractors, so there's no clean government count of installer businesses. The best workforce measure is IREC's National Solar Jobs Census, which counted 280,119 solar workers in 2024, nearly two-thirds of them in installation and project development. California, Florida, Texas, New York and Massachusetts employ the most. The census was surveyed before the 2025 federal tax-credit changes, so it doesn't show their effect. The market runs from national installers and sales-dealer networks to local electricians and roofers who added solar, plus commercial EPCs. Small installers are owner-run and buy panels, inverters, batteries, financing, permitting help and leads; many also sell batteries, EV chargers and roofing.

What's in a solar installer lead list

Every row is one solar installer business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for solar installers:

Field	Why it matters for solar installers
email + grade	Solar companies publish sales and info addresses on their sites. The grade shows whether the mailbox is confirmed (Verified) or the domain accepts everything (Accept-all, a maybe).
emails (up to 5, with role and source)	Installers often list separate addresses for sales, service and partnerships or dealer programs. A partnerships@ address is exactly where a distributor or financing pitch belongs.
category / categories	Separates dedicated solar companies from electricians and roofers who also install solar, and from equipment suppliers. Decide whether those overlaps belong in your list.
website + website_platform	Solar sells online, so the website says a lot: whether they offer batteries, financing, commercial work. Out-of-state sales outfits often share a domain across many listings.
rating + reviews	Review count is a good proxy for install volume. A long list of recent complaints can signal service backlogs, which is a pitch for O&M and repair partners.
address + in_area	Many solar listings are sales offices or service-area businesses. Use your area and scope settings to keep only companies based in the market you want.
linkedin / facebook / youtube	Commercial installers are active on LinkedIn; residential installers on Facebook and YouTube. Useful for multichannel follow-up and for checking whether a company is still active.

About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a sample export.

Search terms that find every solar installer

No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates.

Search terms: solar installer, solar panel installer, solar energy company, solar company, solar contractor, residential solar installer, commercial solar contractor, solar panel installation, solar energy contractor, solar battery installer, home battery installation, solar panel repair, solar panel cleaning service, solar roofing contractor, off grid solar installer, solar epc contractor, community solar, solar water heater installer, ev charger installation, solar electrician, solar panel maintenance.

Google Maps categories: Solar energy company, Solar energy system service, Solar energy equipment supplier, Solar hot water system supplier, Electrician, Roofing contractor.

Leadraft includes these in its Home services keyword pack (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade.

Who sells to solar installers, and what works

Equipment distributors and manufacturers. Panels, inverters, batteries and racking. Installers compare on availability, price and warranty support. Segment by region and by whether they advertise batteries.
Solar financing and lease providers. Residential installers need loans, leases or PPAs to close deals, and options changed after the 2025 tax-credit changes. Pitch approval rates and dealer fees, with specifics.
Design, permitting and software vendors. Proposal software, plan sets and permitting services. Pitch the owner on faster time from signed contract to install.
Marketing and lead-gen agencies. Solar companies spend heavily on customer acquisition. Show a local gap: few reviews, no battery content, a slow or missing quote form.
O&M, cleaning and repair partners. Installers that have done thousands of systems need service help, and orphaned systems from closed installers need new owners. Offer subcontracted service.

How to segment and qualify a solar installer list

Residential vs commercial

Search "residential solar installer" and "commercial solar contractor" separately. Commercial EPCs work on bids and longer cycles; residential installers sell to homeowners every day.

Solar-only vs electrician or roofer

Electricians and roofers that added solar are a different buyer: solar is part of the business, not all of it. Use categories to split them.

Battery and EV

Installers that list battery storage and EV chargers are where the market is heading. Good targets for storage hardware and electrical suppliers.

Local vs national

National installers and sales dealers show up in many cities under one domain. Group by website to separate them from local companies that decide locally.

New entrants

A monitor on your area catches newly listed solar companies, who need suppliers, financing and software first.

How to reach solar installers

Owners are on roofs in the morning

Crews start early. Owners and sales managers read email early morning or after 3 p.m. Mid-week works best.

Lead with policy and margin, not hype

Installers are dealing with tax-credit changes, tariffs and interest rates. A short note that shows you understand their margin pressure lands better than a generic pitch.

Expect skepticism of lead sellers

Most installers have been burned by shared-lead vendors. Say plainly what you sell, what it costs and what you don't do.

Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA

Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. For calls and texts the TCPA applies, and installers know it well from their own homeowner sales, so dial by hand and never text without consent. See our cold email laws guide and get legal advice.

How to find solar installer leads: build the list in four steps

Choose the place. A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file).
Search every variant. Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade.
Preview before you pay. The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked.
Export or push. Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever.

Solar installers lead lists: questions

How many solar installers are there in the US?

There's no official count of solar installer businesses, because solar has no NAICS code of its own: installers are filed as electrical, plumbing or roofing contractors. IREC's National Solar Jobs Census counted 280,119 solar workers in 2024, with 178,713 in installation and project development. A Google Maps search for your area is the practical way to count companies.

Can I get a solar installer email list for a specific city or state?

Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area, set a radius or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps companies inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), and you aren't charged for businesses outside it.

Are the emails verified?

Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page they were found on.

How much does a solar installer email list cost?

Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. As an example, if a statewide search returns 2,000 solar companies and you take out 1,200 verified emails, Starter ($19: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month) covers the businesses and most of the emails, and the rest come next month; Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) does it at once. The Free plan (500 businesses, 50 checked emails) is enough to test a metro.

Does the list include electricians and roofers who install solar?

It can. Many installers are filed on Google Maps as electricians or roofing contractors. Search solar terms and keep or drop those categories with the category filter in the leads table.

Is a solar installer list the same as solar leads?

No. "Solar leads" usually means homeowners who want panels, sold to installers. A solar installer email list is a list of the installers themselves, for businesses that sell to them: equipment, financing, software and services.
