Frequently asked questions
What if my address has no results?
Each building department publishes different permit types and history. The source status shown with your results explains which records were checked. Your city or county may have additional records.
Does a permit confirm my equipment is installed?
A permit describes work that was filed or approved. Your final inspection, equipment labels, and installer paperwork can help confirm what is in use.
What should I check before signing a solar agreement?
The state’s consumer guide covers comparing proposals, checking contractor licenses, and understanding payment terms. Read the California Solar Consumer Protection Guide.
How is my address used?
We use your entry to search the permit index. Some lookups also check public agency services to verify the address and find more records. Address suggestions and aerial imagery use separate third-party services.
