Why MCS certification matters

What is MCS Certification?

MCS is the UK’s quality mark for renewable energy technologies like solar panels and heat pumps. We set the standards you should always expect from an MCS certified installer and the products they use, highlighting quality, competency and compliance.

MCS certification is also a requirement for accessing many UK government incentives and ensures that your renewable installation is installed to industry-recognised MCS Standards.

A message to you from Ian Rippin, our CEO:

“We understand that, for many, renewable energy is a big step forward, but we’re here to make that choice easier, straightforward, and grounded in the quality you can trust. Our purpose is simple: to give everyone confidence in home-grown energy. 'Home-grown energy’ is something you can take pride in. We remain committed to giving everyone confidence in renewable energy technology, driving forward a greener and cleaner future of sustainable energy across the UK.”

Our installers

MCS certification ensures that our installers install renewable technologies to the best possible quality, while also adhering to industry-recognised safety practices when working in and around your home or small business. All installers must follow the strict criteria outlined in the MCS installation standards.

Our renewable technologies

MCS certification ensures that MCS certified installers only use renewable technologies that have been tested for quality, reliability and performance in line with MCS Product Standards. This ensures your renewable technology is efficient, durable and as safe as possible.

Consumer protections

MCS certification gives you protection if something were to go wrong when installing renewable technologies, like solar PV and heat pumps, in your home or small business. To ensure this, all our installers must be a member of a consumer code. Consumer Codes are organisations that promote consumer interests by setting out the principles of effective customer service and protection.
