We see every solar, EV charger, heat pump HVAC, water heater, and battery installation in the country. Use this data to build lead lists and create installer networks based on real building permit data.
Shovels company values
Shovels is making a deliberate effort to support electrification progress. We're putting engineering and data science resources into supporting the work that climate companies are doing.
Here are some ways we’re helping:
Lead generation for climate tech companies
We provide building permit and contractor data through our API and software to help you find building electrification leads and build your installer network.
Find recent EV charger, solar, battery, and insulation permits. Send direct mail to the addresses or use the addresses to find email and phone numbers for your sales teams.
Shovels tracks commercial permits too! Filter for large projects of tens or hundreds of thousands of square feet. Discover who the contractors are and contact them by phone or email.
Homeowners often pull permits before they have the financing lined up for their building electrification projects. Get a list of recent home permits in any geographic area and share your climate tech products with them.
We use our data and models to answer interesting questions about the future of building electrification.
The Shovels dataset and model can highlight key construction trends and patterns. In this blog, we discuss solar construction specifically due to the RE+ clean energy convention. Use Shovels to inform your construction company's business models and strategy.

We look at the impact of BayREN's initiatives on the Bay Area's energy upgrade trends, revealing a significant increase in heat pump installations by BayREN-affiliated contractors compared to a lesser focus on solar panel installations. It suggests that BayREN is strategically filling gaps in the building electrification market.

At Shovels, we provide developers with access to monthly EV charger installation data through our building permit API. This data reveals the tremendous growth and geographic distribution of EV charging infrastructure, with insights into the locations and companies involved. Understanding this data is crucial for businesses, developers, and governments to identify areas for expansion and to make informed decisions. With our API, developers can accurately map existing charger locations, analyze infrastructure, and even predict future demand for electric vehicles.
