I have just checked the installers database for our area to find yet again it is showing the wrong number of technologies for us. We are back to ST and PV as our first listing. We have had this four times now it's an effin joke that they demand so much of us but can't get their end working...
Hi, the last 100kW install we did went through roo-fit and took nearly 4 months to get completed.
Just wondered if it's possible to install 50kW and register through MCS then in a short space of time do a 50kW extension through MCS again. And the tariff would be better also would it not?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has come across this type of situation.
I have had an inquiry from a client with a converted house which is now 4 flats all have had individual ASHPs installed, but each flat is on a sub-meter from the original MPAN meter.
I understand that the MPAN is recorded...
Hi all,
We're planning on having our roof covering replaced when the weather gets better and so thinking of having solar PV installed at the same time. Non-traditional roof so planning on a standing seam metal roof such as Vieozinc as the roof structure isn't designed for tiles.
Anyway, I...
I think I have bumped into a small disconnect between the two schemes.
Architect designed new-build / self-build. I install and commission ASHP and solar thermal. Client moves in a few days later. Client applies for domestic RHI a few days after that.
Solar thermal application going through...
What will happen to the companies that have left the trade ?
MCS has asked that all FIT Licensees send through a list of the addresses that have an incorrectly installed generation meters. The Certification Body will be expected to investigate these cases as non-conformity by the installation...
this morning i had an email from the NICEIC to say that 3 of my solar installations did not conform due to the energy meter being in the wrong place. when i asked for the evidence of this they said the information had come from Gemserv. i then contacted Gemserv and asked them to send me the...
The deadline for accreditation expires on 30th of June. Is anyone bothered with it?
I know that Hilti got their certification and say that the kit is 4 times stronger than Clenergy's.

We have our first in-roof installation, just about to order the roof kit Easy Roof via Baywa.re and discovered it's only been tested for Jinko panels. It's a new build we're installing on so unlikely to be commissioned before the end of June taking it into the new criteria. Apparently it's...
We've got 3 customers who have committed to buy solar and have given us a deposit but who are having other work done to get to a D rating. We could install now and just register when they've had the other work done - I seem to remember there was a time limit for doing this, any suggestions how...
MCS 001 Consultation – Closing Date 30th May 2014
Dear Colleague
The MCS 001 Working Group has made some updates to MCS 001, and we invite comments on the revised document.
The relevant documents can be found on the MCS website here.
The consultation is open for a period of two months...
Probably good news overall for installers but annoying for those manufacturers who managed to get their gear certified in time. They must be spewing that their competitors are being offered a chance to catch up!
*********************************************************************************...
Interesting pieces of news gleaned from ecobuild:
1) RHI went before parliament 3 weeks ago, no just the parliamentary process, so they won't give a date.
2) Solar Thermal in the RHI that went before parliament says must be calculated in accordance with MCS Thermal Solar Performance Calculator...
If you go and check the MCS012 database there are only 11 products currently registered. It will be 12 in the next 24 hours when Redtip appear on there.
Here is the rub. At Ecobuild those roof mounting companies exhibiting we're all confident they would be registered by 1st April. However, not...

Hello all,
I have been lurking here for a while and have found the forum amusing and informative but this is my first post. We recently had our MCS inspection for solar pv. The inspector gave us a few NCR's, mostly to do with the QMS and easily sorted - I showed him what he asked for and am...
Simple question, can an MCS company use non-MCS subbies and I get two different responses:
Any views on the forum about this?
From MCS via email:
