    New MCS Form

    I see Building Regs are included on the MCS Cert now. Does this mean that the local Council have to be contacted before each installation?

    Out of interest - How would you register the MCS certifcate for an install

    Just wondered how it is possible to register and installation with a variety of panels? For example, with solar edge / micro inverters you can have multiple panels. On my install I have Hyundai and Suntech on different strings but MCS only asks for a single panel type. So how would you do this?

    MCS/REAL rules for installers/sellers

    I'm trying to help a friend of a friend with a mis-sold PV system and I was wondering if someone could help.

    REAL and MCS - Pointless?

    A lot of people were suggesting that the FITs cuts wouldn't be so bad as at least it would get the crap out of the industry. I think they were badly mistaken. Firms still hugely exaggerate the returns and they are still doing very nicely. On the few surveys I have done (doing one this morning...

    Continuing with MCS?

    It's that time of year again, the MCS licence fee is due. Question is, is it worth persevering with MCS registration and PV installation. I can't see any hope of an improvement in the market and the green deal looks like a complete no hoper for the smaller contractors wanting to do a quality...

    MCS Surveillance

    We had our visit yesterday and wondered if someone could explain to me why: it's more important to have a mission statement than a structural report? it's more important to have a G83/G59 link in your document control list than 300mm round your installation? it's more important to have...

    EPC, DNC and MCS - TLA headache!

    I have just had a call from our EPC assessor who has had notification from his accrediting body that they are unable to accept the MCS cert as proof of size of installation (in the case of EPC being done after the install because without it the house would not get a D) because it shows the...
