The MCS is an internationally recognised quality assurance scheme which demonstrates the quality and reliability of approved products by satisfying rigorous and tested standards. It was designed with input from product and installer representatives. Product certification involves type testing of products and an assessment of the manufacturing processes, materials, procedures and staff training.

So what are the benefits of using an MCS accredited installer with MCS accredited products?

The MCS scheme demonstrates quality and competence of the manufacturer and installer.

Installers and products that carry the MCS Mark should be seen as the preferred option in the market place. This is because MCS is linked to many of the key factors driving demand, such as:
•   Feed-In Tariffs which will provide guaranteed payments to individuals, business and communities for small-scale electricity generation. For technologies where there is an MCS standard, both the technology and the installer must be MCS certificated to be eligible.
•   The Renewable Heat Incentive (Find out more about the RHI by clicking here http://www.kensaengineering.com/RHI)  is planned for 2011 and will provide cash back to individuals, business and communities for renewable heat generation. The Government has indicated that the Renewable Heat Incentive might be linked to MCS products and installers.
•   The Code for Sustainable Homes, which is a mandatory requirement for all newly built homes to meet sustainability ratings, including ratings for energy and CO2 emissions. MCS certificated technologies can be used to meet the requirements of this Code.
•   Planning permission for consumers for certain renewable energy technologies has now been made a lot simpler thanks to permitted development rights introduced in England and Scotland.
•   The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for Energy Rating of Dwellings recognises MCS certificated products when determining whether products are eligible for inclusion in SAP assessments.
