Chicago solar permits, every morning

We watch the City of Chicago's public permit feed every morning, keep only solar and hand you a clean list: address, issue date, permit type, what the work is, declared value, and the contractor of record as the city published it. CSV and a web dashboard, with a digest email each morning.

Who buys it: Solar installers watching competitors, inverter, battery and racking distributors, roofers who partner with installers, and financing sellers.

Why not just use the city portal?

You can. The portal is free, and it is where our data comes from: public records, published by the City of Chicago. What we add is the work of reading it for you.

The Chicago portal

691 permits in the last 7 days, every trade in one table.
You have to remember to open it. It does not email you.

Know before you buy

The city can correct or change a permit after it is issued. We show the record as it was when we collected it.
The Chicago dataset carries no contractor licence number, so the licence column is empty for this product.
The Chicago dataset has no ZIP column, so ZIP can be blank on some rows.
Chicago lists contractors in several slots on a permit. We keep contractor businesses and drop owner, tenant and applicant slots, so a few permits show no contractor.
Chicago has no trade field. We assign the trade with fixed keyword rules on the work description, so some permits can be filed under the wrong trade or missed.
