MCS Accreditation

[matt25]

Hi, yes it does help thankyou. Could this also be refered to a pre test certificate from the inverter supplier?

 

[EasyMCSLtd]

From my understanding this must be specific to each job as their is a potential for the power rating to differ, but if anybody has any thoughts on this please comment!

 

[matt25]

Is it a document from the inverter supplier?

 

[EasyMCSLtd]

I dont thinks its from the inverter people i think its a document you complete on site along side your commissioning report.

 

[matt25]

im not sure, can anyone else help please?!

With regards to the Isolation, I would put the main AC plus locations of the DC Isolators too. As its for the DNO, they will want to know how to disconnect, and the main AC will do this. Not only is this the export route, but its the AC supply for the inverter and without it it will shut down.

SSEG test report is the commissioning documents you complete for each and every install. In effect its your decleration the install is operational and functioning correctly.

Might be me being stupid but where do you post them to?

@Simonsaid,

That's a scary question, are you MCS registered?

 

[EasyMCSLtd]

Might be me being stupid but where do you post them to?

This form will be sent to the DNO for the area that the installation has been completed in?

 

[Simonsaid]

We are MCS registered, all documents on our first job where filled out correctly but was not certain as to where the commissioning docs were to be sent.
We produced the MCS cert off the website but still need to send docs to DNO. Thanks for your help.

Hi

OLCI are offering a solar PV course, would this be approved by the MCS?

Thanks

If you can find out who the course is certified by i.e Logic , Bpec or C&G then i will be able to check.

Hi, Alana here from OLCI Construction Training.

Our Solar Photovoltaic Course will provide those who successfully complete it with access to MCS registration. Once the course is successfully completed, OLCI is able to guide you through the MCS registration with a relevant organisation such as NICEIC, who we are partnered with.

If you have any further queries please give us a call on 0800 316 8100. Alternatively you can email me at [email protected] with your name, phone number and a suitable time to call you back.

Best wishes, Alana Fox

hello, I'm just in the process of doing my solar PV course at the minute,

I work for a builder who is putting me through the pv, they are already MCS accredited for heat pumps, solar therrmal and bio mass... but want to add solar pv

as I am their subby, and I am the only one with part p etc, I have just done the health and safety course and have the NICEIC PV course next week,

but was wondering how it works, I assume the builder just gets another technology added to their accreditation, and that relys on me working for them, so will I be MCS inspected and then they get inspected, or do we all meet up together?

thanks

John

Hi John,

It sounds like the Builder will be going for a scope extension for PV, and within this extension you will be nominated as the quality supervisor for this technology (resulting in you ensuring all technical aspects are covered i.e calculations and specifications). You will then sign off all works under your computant person scheme.

You will be required to attend the inspection as you will be asked questions on the installation.

I hope this helps, have you considered gaining MCS yourself?
