"The MCS 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 solar panel installers require compliance with the relevant MCS standard MIS3002."
World-leading installation standards.
MCS, or the Micro Certification Scheme accreditation, is the quality benchmark for solar panel installers and products in the United Kingdom. Unsatisfactory or poor-performing solar installation companies can no longer thrive under the Micro-Generation Certification scheme.
A guide for the installation of PV solar systems that aims to:
1. Disclose written procedures for scrutiny.
2. Follow those procedures as a standard daily practice.
3. Prove it with assessments by MCS personnel.
Introduced in 2009, these industry-wide improvements mean you'll receive a commissioning certificate on completion that gives you peace of mind and access to PV export tariff schemes. I bring together accredited installers with homeowners wishing to install solar panels in England to Scotland and Wales.
Know your rights.
1. Ensure installers certify as MCS-accredited.
2. The UK's MCS accreditation scheme has codes of conduct relating to sales procedures, as encouraged by the RECC (Renewable Energy Consumer Code.
3. Adopters have a seven-day cancellation period.
Know the market.
From 2018, all MCS-approved installers gain RECC scheme 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.
"I support the principles of the Renewable Energy Consumer Code."
"I've witnessed many fantastic changes, innovations, and aftermarket products arrive on the scene. My fellowship with ethically-minded MCS solar panel installers goes back decades. Today, I offer my experience to help adopters discover the best."
