MCS Solar Accreditation

This video introduces MCS solar accreditation and explains why certification is important for solar installations in the UK. The Microgeneration Certification Scheme sets standards for both equipment and installation practices.

Installers working under the scheme must meet recognised quality requirements. Certification helps ensure that solar PV systems are installed safely and perform as expected.
