    Mcs Sign Off

    So I've just fitted a 12 panel system to my own property in Leicester. I'm 2391 inspection and test qualified but don't really want to go to the expense of doing the course to be mcs as I am already to busy and don't see the market growing now feed in is so low. Is there an independent test...

    MCS inspection

    Just had ours and we've had a couple of things highlighted. First of all, I need to refresher training. No idea why this should be. I do the job every day so I can't see why I need to pay out more money and lose another day. If I can't do my job properly, then surely this would show up...

    Solar PV Installation. For reasons I can't go in to, the original installers aren't allowed back on site. The MCS Cerificate has not been issued.
