Getting Started with the Bridge Select Extension

A step-by-step guide from the BridgeSelect documentation.

← Back to User & Technical Guides

The Bridge Select Extension is a Chrome extension that registers your certificates with the REC Registry for you. You pick the jobs in the Bridge Select portal, the extension does the filling in and the uploading, and the portal shows you how far it has got.

You stay in control. Nothing is sent to the REC Registry until you add a job to the extension, and anything you add by mistake can be removed again right up until the extension uploads it.

⚡️ How it works

A job travels through three stages. The icon beside the job in your listing tells you which stage it is at, so the listing is the only place you need to look.

What you see in the job listingWhat it meansWhat to do
A grey Bridge Select Extension button The job is ready but has not been added yet. Click it to add the job.
A blue Bridge Select Extension label The job is queued. The extension will pick it up. Nothing. Leave it to run.
A green Bridge Select Extension button The upload did not go through and the job needs sending again. Click it to resubmit. Hover the orange error badge to see why.
A green Submitted To REC Registry label Done. The certificates are registered. Download the CSV or SDP if you need them.

The icon itself is the one below, so you know what to look for in the Actions column:

The Bridge Select Extension icon

🧩 Installing the extension in Chrome

1

Open the Chrome Web Store and search for Bridge Select — the extension is published under that name.

2

Click Add to Chrome, then Add extension in the confirmation pop-up.

3

Pin the extension so it is always one click away: click the puzzle-piece icon in the Chrome toolbar and click the pin beside Bridge Select Extension.

4

Click the extension icon and sign in with the same User Name and Password you use for the portal, choosing Retailer or Trader under Login As.

Screenshot
Keep the extension signed in and the panel open while a batch is running. Closing the panel stops the run; reopening it picks up where it left off.

➕ Adding a job from the portal

5

Go to your job listing and find the job you want registered. In the Actions column, click the grey Bridge Select Extension button.

6

Check the job in the confirmation window and click Confirm.

7

The button turns into a blue label. The job is now in the extension's queue.

Screenshot
Solar and battery are added separately. A job with both a solar (STC) and a battery (BSTC) claim has a button for each leg, and adding one does not add the other. Add whichever leg is ready — the other can follow later.
Solar jobs also build a Sign Data Package. For eligible solar jobs the confirmation window says the SDP will be generated. If the SDP cannot be built, you are offered the slow route — the job still goes to the extension, just without an SDP.

✅ Adding automatically when you Check a job

If you would rather not click twice, the extension can take a job the moment you mark it Checked. Turn it on once and the Check button in your listing becomes Check & Add To Bridge Select Extension.

8

Open the Bridge Select Extension page from the status menu in the top bar, and turn on Add to Bridge Select Extension automatically when a job is marked as Checked.

Screenshot
9

Back in the listing, Check the job as usual. The job is added in the background — no second confirmation.

Screenshot
Only the certificate you Checked is added. Checking the solar box never submits the battery leg, and the other way round. Unchecking a job that is still queued takes it straight back out of the extension.

🖥️ Inside the extension panel

Click the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the panel. It has four tabs:

  • Current Jobs — everything waiting to be registered.
  • Unchecked — jobs that are not Checked yet, so they are not eligible.
  • Errors — jobs the REC Registry rejected, with the reason.
  • Processed Today — what has gone through since midnight.
Screenshot

Registering jobs

You choose what goes to the REC Registry. Submit on a leg registers that one claim; Selected runs the jobs you have ticked, and All runs everything in the list. Nothing is sent until you press one of them.

Pause and Cancel

While a batch runs, a status bar shows how far it has got — for example Registration 3 of 18 registrations across 10 jobs. Solar and battery count separately, which is why the number of registrations is usually higher than the number of jobs.

  • Pause stops the run after the registration in progress. Click Resume to carry on.
  • Cancel abandons the rest of the batch. It is greyed out once a registration has reached the point where it cannot be taken back.

🔄 Resubmitting and ❌ removing

Resubmit

If the REC Registry rejects a job, the button turns green and an orange Bridge Select Extension error badge appears beside it. Hover the badge to read the reason, fix the job, then click the green button and confirm to send it again.

Screenshot

Remove

Added something by mistake? An orange × sits next to any job that is still queued. Click it, confirm, and the job comes straight back out of the extension — the grey Bridge Select Extension button returns and you can add it again whenever you are ready.

Screenshot
The × disappears once the job reaches the REC Registry. At that point the certificates are registered and there is nothing left to pull back — contact the REC Registry directly if a registered claim needs changing.

📥 Downloads once a job is registered

After a job shows Submitted To REC Registry, the extension's paperwork is available from the job row on the Processed tab:

  • BS PVD CSV (solar), BS SWH CSV (hot water) or BS BSTC CSV (battery) — the file that was uploaded to the registry.
  • BS SDP — the Sign Data Package for the job, where one was generated.
Screenshot

🔎 The status menu in the top bar

A Bridge Select Extension item sits in the portal's top bar with a coloured dot. Open it to see the current batch and how many jobs have gone through today, and to reach the full Bridge Select Extension page.

DotMeaning
GreyOffline — the extension has not reported in for a while. Open the panel in Chrome.
AmberLive and idle — signed in, nothing to do right now.
GreenProcessing — a batch is running.
RedThe REC Registry is not open. Nothing will upload until it is back.

❓ Why is there no button on my job?

The extension only offers jobs it can actually register. If the button is missing, one of these will be the reason:

ReasonWhat to do
The certificate is not Completed yet. Finish the job. Approved, Pending Review and Failed legs are not offered.
The job already has its accreditation code (PVD, SWH or BTY). Nothing — that leg is already registered. On a combo job the other leg still shows its button.
The completion date is before 25 September 2026. Register older jobs the way you did before. The extension starts from the go-live date.
The job was Checked before 25 September 2026. Same as above — these were handled before the extension existed.
A battery job has no battery size, or a solar job has no certificates. Complete the system details on the job and the button appears.
The job belongs to another agent. Only the company that owns that leg can send it.
The extension is switched off for your company. Contact support to have it enabled.

🛟 Troubleshooting

  • The dot stays grey. Open the extension panel in Chrome and sign in. The portal only sees the extension while it is running.
  • Nothing is processing. Check the dot is not red — the REC Registry closes overnight and for maintenance, and nothing uploads while it is closed.
  • A job sits on the blue label for a long time. Open the panel and look at Current Jobs; if it is not there, remove it in the portal and add it again.
  • An orange error badge. Hover it for the registry's reason, correct the job, then use the green resubmit button.
  • The buttons disappeared after an update. Hard-refresh the listing (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac).
