MCS Technical Working Groups

The MCS Technical Working Groups are made up of more than 200 experts from across the sector, including contractors, installers, manufacturers, trade associations, certification bodies, consumer groups, educators, and independent specialists. There are eight Technical Working Groups, spanning the different technologies MCS covers.

• Heat Pump Working Group
• Micro CHP Working Group
• Solar Mounting Working Group
• Solar Heating Working Group
• Solar PV Working Group
• Small Wind Working Group

David Heath, Independent Chair of Standards-

“MCS Standards are absolutely integral to the success of small-scale renewables, as they give consumers confidence in home-grown energy which is so crucial in driving uptake. 

It’s inspiring to see the enthusiasm and dedication of our Working Group members who volunteer their time and work together to drive quality in small-scale renewables forward.”

MCS facilitates the activity of the Technical Working Groups. We conduct research on industry developments and their potential impact and analyse updates to standards that are referenced in our documents.
