MCS PV solar panel installers

The MCS (Micro Certification Scheme) accreditation is a protocol to enforce standards within the UK's solar panel marketplace. To become a certificated installer, you must contact the MCS scheme directly for compliance criteria or work for an accredited company. MCS PV solar panel installers require compliance with the relevant MCS standard MIS3002.

World-leading standards.

Introduced in 2009, these industry-wide improvements mean you'll receive a 'commissioning certificate' on completion of your PV or solar heating installation. MCS certificates provide peace of mind and access to tariff revenue. Unsatisfactory or poor-performing solar installation companies can no longer thrive under the Micro-Generation Certification scheme. The adopted principles for solar panel installation companies:

1. Disclose written procedures for scrutiny.
2. Follow those procedures as a standard practice.
3. Prove it with assessments by MCS personnel.

Not all solar panel technologies qualify for accreditation. This is the case with thermodynamic solar panels.

Know your rights.

Please do your due diligence on any company you choose to do your solar installation. Healthy competition is good, competition pushes the whole industry to do better, but many new have required to be repaired or ripped out due to poor workmanship and screwed over:

1. The installer or installation company must be Hies, Napit/Niceic, and MCS-accredited.

2. The UK's MCS accreditation scheme has codes of conduct relating to sales procedures, as encouraged by the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC).

3. Adopters have a seven-day cancellation period.

From 2018, MCS-approved installers gain RECC membership by default. I offer my experience to help you discover the best deal. I'm happy to promote MCS-accredited solar installers with an ethical mindset. Solar panel installers are heroes. I doff my cap to these hard-working individuals, but not all installation brands are ethically minded, and why I help new adopters get a better deal.

Switched on people.
