Lead intelligence for solar installers

Score every home by roof age, orientation, property value, and owner status. Find the homeowners who can actually go solar before you knock.

The short version

Solar installation has tight qualification criteria — roof needs to be ≤15 years old, south-facing exposure helps, homeowner needs to actually own the home (not renting), and the property value needs to support the financing. CurbSight's scoring formula maps cleanly onto these signals: roof age from year_built, satellite imagery for orientation/exposure, owner_occupied flag, market value. The result is fewer wasted knocks on roofs that can't take a system.

What solar reps deal with

  • Roofs over 15 years old will fail under panel weight or before the system pays back — qualifying out is critical
  • Renters can't authorize a solar install — owner-occupied vs rental matters enormously
  • Property value gating drives financing eligibility — under $150k often can't finance
  • Aerial orientation analysis requires either a site visit or satellite tooling reps don't have

How CurbSight helps

Roof age estimation
year_built + remodel data + visible-roof confidence. Filter to roofs ≤15 years for solar viability.
Owner-occupied vs rental
Flagged on every property card. Rentals are red-flagged for solar pitches.
Satellite imagery built in
Every property has a satellite view in the dashboard. Visual roof orientation check without a separate tool.
Property value filter
Score weights property value — under $150k properties weight lower for solar fit by default.

WHAT TO SAY
“I work with solar installers in your area. Quick question — has anyone talked to you about putting solar on the south-facing side of your roof?”

Common questions

Does CurbSight measure roof orientation automatically?
Not in v1 — orientation is visible from the satellite imagery on each property card but not auto-classified. Auto-classification of roof orientation from satellite is on the long-term roadmap.
Can I filter by recent sale (new owner = more receptive)?
Yes — last_sale_year is in the property data and surfaces on the card. Filter the dashboard to recent sales for the 'new owner is in upgrade mode' motion.
