    MCS registered companies, tipping point?

    I have been keeping an eye on the number of new and total companies registered for PV, the last fortnight seems to show that more companies decided not to re-register as those that registered for the first time, its only small numbers which equates to just six extra companies added to the total...

    Chart showing 0-4kWp PV installs vs number of MCS PV Installers

    Thought I'd post this up here to show that there are obviously many companies that still believe in the UK solar market. The growth of new PV installers isn't as fast as the end of last year but it's still growing at a fair old rate.

    CRC energy efficiency scheme

    Has anyone had any experience of this scheme and considered how it affects the PV industry? My understanding is that companies will have to pay £12 for every tonne of CO2 that they use. It seems to me that this is not a fat lot at all and largely insignificant if you were factor it in to...

    Refused Credit
