What people are putting up with today

  • Rooftop solar installations hit a record high in the first half of 2026, but the number of solar installation businesses in Australia actually shrank over the same year — more buyers, fewer installers to win them.

  • Installers who buy leads from shared marketplaces report the homeowner has often already spoken to several competitors by the time they call.

  • New-home development approvals are now published daily in a structured public feed, but checking that feed by hand across every postcode a small installer services isn't realistic without someone doing it full-time.

How Panelcue works

Panelcue is a daily digest of new building approvals and DA lodgements in the postcodes a solar installer serves, built from public planning records rather than paid ad clicks or shared lead lists. Each morning it's one plain, filtered call list — the new builds and approvals most likely to need a solar system — so an installer can be the first call a homeowner gets, not the tenth.

  1. 01

    Tell us the postcodes your business services.

  2. 02

    Each morning, we check the relevant council and state planning portals for new DA lodgements and building approvals in those postcodes.

  3. 03

    You get a plain, filtered call list before 9am — addresses, lot details and approval stage — so you can be first to call, not the tenth.

What people are saying

Real quotes from public reviews and forums, with names removed. None are about Panelcue — it isn't available yet.

I would call the homeowner and they would say you are the 10th solar person to call.
