Access to Financial Incentives.
MCS certification is an eligibility requirement for financial incentives schemes, such as the new Boiler Replacement Scheme and the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)¹. Most small-scale renewable installations will be eligible for some sort of funding, therefore to gain full market access, MCS certification is a must.
Mark of Excellence
MCS is a mark of excellence that demonstrates adherence to the latest industry standards, quality products, and a high standard of installation work. Customers may need to produce an MCS certificate to insurance companies, mortgage lenders, and planning authorities.
Customer Confidence
By certifying individual products and specialist installers, MCS provides consumers with confidence in the quality of the renewable energy systems they invest in². From a consumer’s perspective, using an uncertified installer is more trouble than its worth¹.
Promoting Adoption of Renewable Energy
MCS has played a key role in promoting the adoption of small-scale renewable energy technologies in the UK. It has supported a range of government renewable energy goals by promoting a number of incentivising sustainable energy grant schemes and support programmes.
