Hi All,
We had our recent MCS assessment and got a few non-coms for lack of the appropriate documents/current versions despite using most of them for the last three years.
Was wondering if anyone would like to offload any of the following to partially recoup your investment in them? PM me if...
Hi all,
Been looking into structural survey etc, and kind of opened up a whole tin of worms, under building control! Obviously we can self certify for electrical using the PART P side which then gets sent to Building Control .
But will this cover PART A?? we are having structural surveys but...
Hi, Just received feedback on the Non conformities corrective actions that arose on my initial mcs verification. One issue I am having trouble with is that I am being asked to produce an MCS certificate, yet in order to log in to the MCS website database to produce an mcs cert, you are...
I'm only aware of Paperclip which tries to keep all MCS data in order but the recent update has left me wondering if anyone has a more robust solution or are the rest of you doing it with a custom in-house mix of database and spreadsheet?
Some of you may remember that both myself and Gavin A wrote Mr Angry letters to Gemserve/MCS on this subject. (http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/photovoltaic-solar-panels-green-energy-forum/75215-mcs-guide-installation-photovoltaic-systems-shading-3.html) Without boring you with the...
Hi - Ive just let my MCS lapse this year - i was going to let it go last year, but gave one last chance - my company is still alive and kicking as we never threw all our eggs in one basket.
its been fun and im still around - just not chasing solar installs anymore - and guess what - it feels...
Has anybody branched out to the mcs scheme as an additional line/source of work to their business ?
Am thinking of expanding , but noticing that the costs may be very high ( including a training course and registration to an MCS scheme ) before i can even start this ....is it worth it ?
Had my 1st year surveillance visit today, had prepared to be stuck in all day, and it lasted a total of an hour & half, that included looking at the PV on my own house!
No N/C's So all in all a great day! Im off out to enjoy the sun :)
I would be grateful for some roofing advice. Just had my third MCS assessment after an 18 month gap and having got zero non-conformities on 3 technologies on previous assessments with two different inspectors have scored six NCs on this one with the third inspector. I showed him a PV...

I have Ben approached by a sales team waiting there MCS assessment need a company to install and sign off work for about 6 months. I was wondering if anyone else had done anything similar and what the situation regarding the MCS side was. E.g who can hold the contract etc, he has been told they...
I have been asked by niceic assessor how I confirm the materials from my wholesaler are MCS compliant...Any ideas?? It's a simple question but I'm stumped
Can anyone tell me where i can get a transparent MCS horizon chart that will fit in a sunpath indicator?
The one that my indicator came with has a different number of squares and i'm trying to over lay it on the MCS one and its a 'king nightmare!!!
Thankyou
What a load of utter nonsense. My MCS appointment letter, We endeavour to provide a minimum of four weeks notice and hope the date we provide is acceptable to you. Unfortunately, cancellation of a booked appointment providing less than 14 days notice will attract a cancellation charge of...
The use of microinverters seems to be under threat being that the MCS have written a paper asking for DC isolators on these systems.
Will post more information over the weekend when I get hard copy.
I thought I might have a look at this system a couple weeks ago to make the transition to the new DTI guide etc a bit easier. I've taken advice from the Sun Lounge - thanks everyone, but have since had a couple of calls from Easy MCS.
Basically they got me to try their online system for a week...
Hi all
Topic -- MCS Guide to the installation of Photovoltaic systems (shading analysis)
Just getting to grips with the code, Has anyone got the shade analysis tool sorted, I'm struggling to find some good app's for Androids tablets or a camera that dose not cost more than the earth...
I'm in a bit of a mess with my QMS and tbh like many of you I'm finding it hard to get motivated to sort it out. I'm considering coughing up £400 to Easy MCS just to get rid of it my theory being that if I spend the same amount of time on sales instead of boring admin I should be able to pay...
