Know What The Reviewer Wants Before You Draw.

All 50 states Built from real submissions

Bedrock is the AHJ and utility database behind every EnergyScape plan set, permit, and interconnection. 15,000+ AHJs and 1,000+ utilities, in one place inside Dataverse.

Code editions, local amendments, setbacks, submission rules, and the rejections each reviewer has actually issued. Looked up once, not researched per job.

Why this database is different

Code books don't reject permits. Reviewers do.

Public code trackers tell you which NEC edition a state adopted. They don't tell you what the plans examiner in that county sent back last month. Bedrock is built from the files our team submits every day, so it records both.

01

Built from real submissions

Every record is verified against permits, stamps, and interconnection filings our team has actually put through that jurisdiction and utility.

02

Rejections feed the record

When a reviewer or utility sends a redline, it goes into Bedrock. The next set for that jurisdiction is built knowing what gets rejected there.

03

One source, every team

Drafters, PE reviewers, permit coordinators, and Greenlight QC all read the same record. Nobody works from an old spreadsheet.

What's inside

What every record holds.

01

Code editions in force

NEC, IRC, IBC, and IFC editions the jurisdiction actually enforces, not just what the state adopted.

02

Local amendments

County and city changes to the base code, captured where they differ from the state.

03

Setbacks and fire access

Ridge, hip, valley, and edge pathways, plus ground-mount and equipment clearances.

04

Structural criteria

Wind speed, snow load, exposure, and the ASCE 7 edition referenced for that jurisdiction.

05

Submission rules

Portal, SolarAPP+, email, or counter. Fees, required attachments, sheet order, and format.

06

Stamp and placard requirements

When a PE seal is required and which labels and placards the inspector expects to see.

07

Interconnection thresholds

System size tiers, study triggers, and which application path a project falls into.

08

Application requirements

Forms, one-line diagram format, equipment specs, and supporting documents each utility asks for.

09

Service and metering rules

Supply-side and load-side connection rules, meter requirements, and disconnect placement.

10

Storage and export limits

Battery, export limiting, and non-export requirements where the utility sets its own terms.

11

PTO documentation

What the utility needs after inspection before Permission to Operate is issued.

12

How it works

How a record stays current.

Researched at source, verified on submission, corrected on rejection.

05 / steps
01
AT SOURCE

Researched

Code editions, amendments, and submission rules gathered from the jurisdiction and utility directly.

02
ON SUBMISSION

Verified

Confirmed against real filings our permitting and interconnection teams have put through.

03
EVERY JOB

Used

Drafters, PE reviewers, and Greenlight QC read the record on every project in that jurisdiction.

04
ON REJECTION

Corrected

Redlines and utility kickbacks are logged against the AHJ or utility that issued them.

05
WHEN CODES CHANGE

Reviewed

Records are rechecked when codes change or a new edition is adopted.

Where it runs

Bedrock sits under everything we deliver.

You may already be using it. Every EnergyScape service and every Sunscape project reads from the same database.

01

Plan sets & Greenlight

Before the set leaves

Every plan set is drafted to the jurisdiction's record, then checked by Greenlight QC against its codes, amendments, and past rejections before delivery. 99% clear on the first pass.

See plan sets
02

Permitting & PTO

When the package is filed

Permits and interconnection applications are packaged to the format and attachments each authority and utility expects.

See permitting
03

Sunscape

Where the job is tracked

Integrated AHJ puts the jurisdiction and utility record directly on each Sunscape project.

The rejection loop

Every bounced set makes the next one stronger.

A correction comes back from a plans examiner. Our team resolves it, then records what was asked and why. From that moment, every drafter and every Greenlight QC run for that jurisdiction checks for it.

  • Redlines tagged to the AHJ, reviewer, and sheet
  • Utility kickbacks tagged to the application type
  • Greenlight QC checks known rejections before delivery
  • The fix is applied upstream, not job by job

The AHJ and utility database inside Dataverse, our data platform. It holds the code, submission, and interconnection requirements for 15,000+ AHJs and 1,000+ utilities, plus the rejection history behind them.

Trackers report what a state adopted. Bedrock records what each jurisdiction enforces and what its reviewers have rejected, verified against filings our team has actually submitted.

Records are verified every time our team files in that jurisdiction or with that utility, and updated whenever a rejection comes back. They are also rechecked when codes change or a new edition is adopted.

If you use our plan sets, PE stamping, permitting, or interconnection services, yes. Every one of them is built and checked against Bedrock. Sunscape's Integrated AHJ reads from it too.

Yes. 1,000+ utilities, with interconnection thresholds, application requirements, metering rules, and PTO documentation.

Greenlight, our AI QC tool, checks every set against the Bedrock record for that jurisdiction, including its known rejections, before a human reviewer signs off.

Send your markets through the form and we will walk through coverage and access options for your team.
