MCS certification
The certification is an internationally recognised quality and safety scheme for small-scale renewable energy technologies.
When installing solar panels, you should ensure that the technology and the installation company are MCS accredited. And there are a number of reasons why…
Mark of product quality
MCS accredited technology has been tested to ensure it meets the necessary quality and safety standards. Installing MCS-certified solar panels will be more efficient, reliable and safe than those without certification from MCS.
Proof of competence
If the installation company is MCS accredited you can be confident that they are competent to install the technology safely. They’ll also make sure that the system achieves the highest levels of energy efficiency and performance.
Consumer protection
MCS offer consumer protection which will protect you in the event that:
- You’ve been given misleading information about the scheme or the renewable technology
- The generation system is underperforming
- Information in the contract and the actual service provided don’t match up
If you have a complaint regarding an MCS installer or product, MCS is committed to resolving it fairly and impartially.
MCS certification is a guarantee that the solar installer and solar panels meet the highest standards. This will allow you to get the most from your solar system for many years to come.
