[solarsavings]

It's down again so I'm going to leave it now until the early hours. What worries me is that we have one to do tomorrow and again on Friday before I deliver them by hand to E'on on Saturday morning.

NOOOOO CHANCE it never happ !! ive give up trying to get through to EDF!!

 

[The Launderer]

Tried several times.

First of all getting message saying not available.

Then got on and got kicked back out when I tried to enter the date

Then not available, then kicked out. etc etc.

Then got past the date and cant access the PV technology list. 2 hours of messing about so far.

Thank god they changed the system a month or so back so you dont have to trawl through a million manufacturers and panels before you can find your one That took an hour back then

 

[SolarCity]

It keeps sending me back to the start.

I'll do my last one in the early hours to make sure it's done.

I wonder what would happen if the MCS website completely packed up and it took (shudder) days to fix? Seeing as common sense is well and truly off the table, where would it leave us?

 

[Somecamel]

Down **** street without a shovel

 

[FIT-PV]

Something has to be done about this, I got 8 installations to register. 4 for today and 4 for tomorrow

[solarsavings]

Now it's showing:

"The service is unavailable."

Very helpful!

I think a few of us predicted that this would happen. Friday will be a complete meltdown I would imagine.

I wonder if anyone here can help me please?

Do you installers have READ access to all of the entries in the MCS database or can you only see your own installation entries? The HELP documentation on the MCS site seems to indicate that operators do have read access to the entire database of installations.

I am a customer of a Solar Panel Installation and my installer is telling me that they cannot get reliable access to this database at the moment, hence the certificate is PENDING in the system. I have contacted nPower who understand the MCS issue and they have said I can apply for FIT just knowing the MCS certificate number. I can send the actual certificate when the technical issues are solved.

Therefore, if you can search for all installations, would one of you be kind enough to enter my postcode and tell me my MCS certificate number please.

Many thanks in advance if you can help.
