Use verified property and permit data to power solar and energy efficiency programs.
Gryd by BuildZoom Data helps solar, clean energy, and energy efficiency teams use permit, property, and construction activity data to assess installation feasibility, track technology adoption, and support certification and research programs.
Solar and energy efficiency programs get harder when property condition are hard to verify.
Solar installers, efficiency programs, and researchers often need to know a property's roof age and condition, whether HVAC or electrical systems have been recently updated, and how adoption trends are shifting across a market. But that information is filed locally, one jurisdiction at a time, with no easy way to see it at scale.
Gryd helps teams use verified permit and property records to assess installation feasibility, track technology adoption, and support program and research decisions with real construction data.
Roof condition is hard to verify remotely
Assessing whether a roof is a good candidate for solar often requires knowing its age and permit history, information that isn't visible from a satellite image alone.
Technology adoption is difficult to track at scale
Understanding how solar, HVAC, and heat pump adoption is trending across a market means piecing together permit activity across thousands of separate jurisdictions.
Program and certification decisions need documentation
Energy efficiency and home performance programs often require documented proof of installed equipment, not just self-reported claims.
Manual research doesn't scale
Checking permit portals one property or one jurisdiction at a time slows down program evaluation, market research, and site qualification.
Add verified property and permit data to solar and energy efficiency workflows.
Gryd gives solar, clean energy, and efficiency teams a clearer way to assess property condition, track technology adoption, and support certification and research programs.
Assess solar installation feasibility
Use roof age and permit history to help evaluate whether a property is a good candidate for solar installation.
Track HVAC and heat pump adoption
Use permit data to understand how energy efficiency technology adoption is trending across a market or territory.
Support home energy certification
Use documented permit history to support home performance scoring and certification programs.
Monitor solar and clean energy trends
Track permit velocity and installation activity to understand adoption patterns nationally or by region.
Support energy research
Bring permit and property signals into academic or policy research on clean energy and efficiency adoption.
Reduce manual research
Replace jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction permit searches with a single, normalized data source.
Make solar and efficiency decisions with clearer property context
Clearer installation feasibility
See roof age and permit history to help assess whether a property is a strong candidate for solar.
Stronger adoption tracking
Use permit data to understand how solar, HVAC, and heat pump adoption is shifting across markets over time.
Better certification support
Use documented permit history to support home energy performance scoring and certification.
Faster research and analysis
Reduce time spent on manual permit research across markets, jurisdictions, or study areas.
Construction signals that can support solar and energy efficiency workflows.
See past and recent roof-related permit activity tied to a property, including replacement and repair records.
Review permit records that may confirm solar equipment was installed, updated, or repaired.
Track permitted HVAC, heat pump, and electrical upgrade activity relevant to energy efficiency.
Review property-level details that support site evaluation and program qualification.
Review applied, issued, completed, expired, cancelled, or updated permit activity where available.
Ways solar and energy efficiency teams use Gryd
Property Risk Intelligence
Use permit history, property changes, contractor activity, and project records to understand how a property has changed over time.
Analysis & Data Modeling
Add permit, property, contractor, license, and project signals to models, dashboards, forecasts, reports, and analytics workflows.
Nationwide Permit Coverage
Access broad permit activity across markets and jurisdictions without relying on local searches one by one.
Construction Activity Monitoring
Track recent permit activity, project updates, contractor movement, property improvements, and market changes over time.
Technology Integration
Bring verified construction intelligence into products, platforms, workflows, dashboards, AI tools, and internal systems.
Use Gryd in the way your team works
Some teams need a searchable platform. Others need data connected to their systems. Others need large-scale files for analysis, modeling, or research. Gryd gives teams flexible ways to access verified construction intelligence.
Explorer
Search, filter, and monitor permit, property, contractor, and project activity through a web-based platform.
API
Connect Gryd data to your product, platform, model, dashboard, workflow, or internal system.
Bulk Data
Receive large-scale construction, permit, property, and contractor data for analysis, reporting, modeling, or research.
Verified permit records can support solar and efficiency decisions traditional data may miss.
A filed permit can confirm when a roof, HVAC system, or solar installation was completed. Property records can show how a building has changed over time. Market data can show where adoption is accelerating. / Gryd brings those signals together so solar and energy efficiency teams can use construction activity as another layer of context in program design, certification, and research.

Energy & Utilities FAQs
Question
Answer
How can permit data help assess solar installation feasibility?
Permit and property data can help teams review roof age, permit history, and prior work on a property, which can support evaluating whether a site is a good candidate for solar installation.
Can Gryd help track HVAC or heat pump adoption?
Yes. Permit data can help teams understand how HVAC, heat pump, and other energy efficiency technology adoption is trending across a market or territory.
Can Gryd support home energy certification programs?
Gryd can help teams review documented permit history that may support home performance scoring, certification, or program qualification.
Can researchers use Gryd to study clean energy adoption?
Yes. Teams can use Data Explorer, API Access, or Bulk Data Delivery to study solar, HVAC, and efficiency adoption trends across markets over time.
How current is Gryd's permit data?
Gryd by BuildZoom Data updates daily, processing approximately 70,000 new permits and 500,000 status updates per day. We do not publish trend or refresh-rate percentages; recency is described by this daily processing volume rather than an aggregate statistic.
Can solar and energy efficiency teams integrate Gryd data into internal systems?
Yes. API Access can bring Gryd data into program platforms, dashboards, research tools, and internal systems.
Is Gryd only useful for residential solar?
No. Teams can use Gryd for residential, commercial, and utility-scale property evaluation, and for research spanning multiple property types.
