At Fit Solar, we’re proud to be MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) registered.
For homeowners looking to install solar panels, working with an MCS-certified installer is essential to ensuring high standards of quality, safety, and reliability.
Here’s what it means to be MCS registered, why it matters, and the benefits it brings to your solar installation.
What Does MCS Registration Mean?
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is an industry-led quality assurance program supported by the UK government.
MCS certification applies to both solar installers and solar products, verifying that they meet the rigorous standards necessary to provide reliable, safe, and high-quality installations.
For a company like Fit Solar to achieve MCS registration, we must pass a comprehensive evaluation process that includes:
- Meeting specific technical standards in the installation and commissioning of solar systems
- Using only MCS-approved products, ensuring they meet durability, safety, and performance benchmarks
- Undergoing regular assessments and audits to maintain certification, keeping us accountable for maintaining high-quality standards
Why Working with an MCS-Registered Installer Is Important
Choosing an MCS-registered installer has several advantages, from ensuring quality workmanship to unlocking access to financial incentives.
Here’s why it’s essential to work with an MCS-certified company:
High Standards of Quality and Safety
MCS certification means your installer adheres to stringent quality and safety standards.
Working with an MCS-registered company ensures that your solar installation is done right the first time, reducing the likelihood of costly mistakes, underperformance, or safety issues down the road.
Access to Government Incentives
One of the key benefits of working with an MCS-certified installer is eligibility for government-backed incentives, such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
The SEG allows homeowners to sell excess electricity they generate back to the grid, earning payments for any surplus power.
However, these schemes are typically only available if your solar panels are installed by an MCS-registered company.
MCS-Certified Products for Reliability and Longevity
When you work with an MCS-registered installer, you know that only MCS-approved products will be used in your solar setup.
MCS-certified products are tested for reliability and durability, which helps ensure your solar panels and components will stand the test of time, even in challenging weather conditions.
Consumer Protection
The MCS certification process includes measures to protect consumers.
By choosing an MCS-registered installer, you’re working with a company committed to industry standards and ethical business practices.
This means you’ll have access to robust support, including workmanship warranties and aftercare.
Increased Property Value
An MCS-certified solar installation can add value to your home, as it provides reassurance to potential buyers.
Knowing that the installation meets recognized standards of quality and efficiency can be an appealing selling point, should you decide to move.
