6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Solar Green Certification”

Does the MCS certificate only apply to solar panels?

While the focus of our article was on solar panels, the MCS covers various renewable energy products, including wind turbines, biomass boilers, and more. How often does an installer need to renew their MCS certification?

Do solar PV installations need to be MCs certified?

Also, the Council of Mortgage Lenders has advised that, as a minimum to avoid the risk of a property being ineligible for a mortgage, both new and existing Solar PV installations must be MCS certified. All renewable energy products are examined by certification bodies against MCS manufacturing and testing standards.

What accreditations do solar panels need?

In the case of solar panel installation, certain accreditations come into play for customer service, performance, safety, and product quality. What is the MCS certificate?

Do solar panels need MCS or flexi-Orb certification?

It's not strictly mandatory for your solar panels to come with MCS or Flexi-Orb certification, but it's highly recommended, especially if you want to take advantage of certain financial incentives.

How do I know if my solar panels are MCs certified?

Check for Certification Markings: MCS-certified products, like solar panels, will typically bear a unique MCS certification mark or label. While it's a quick method for verification, consumers should be aware that some counterfeit products might imitate these markings. Therefore, always cross-check using other methods to ensure authenticity.

What is a Microgeneration Certification Scheme?

The Microgeneration Certification Scheme, commonly known as the MCS, is more than just a certification; it's a seal of quality assurance.
