MCS Certification
We make it easier and quicker for organisations to gain and maintain MCS certification
Our experts will design and implement a management system that meets the standard and that aligns to your business
What is MCS?
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is a UK-recognised quality assurance scheme for renewable energy installers and products. MCS certification demonstrates that a business meets defined industry standards for installing renewable energy systems safely, competently, and in line with current regulations.
If you install technologies such as:
- Solar PV
- Air Source Heat Pumps
- Ground Source Heat Pumps
- Battery Storage Systems
MCS accreditation is often essential to operate competitively in the UK market.
MCS works alongside TrustMark and is a requirement for access to many government-backed and funded schemes, including ECO4 and other domestic funding opportunities.
Why Is MCS Certification Important?
MCS certification is more than a badge — it is a commercial requirement for many renewable installers across the UK.
Without MCS accreditation, you may:
- Be unable to access funded schemes
- Miss out on TrustMark registration
- Struggle to win commercial contracts
- Lose credibility with customers
With MCS certification, you can:
- Access funded and government-backed schemes
- Become TrustMark registered
- Demonstrate technical competence and compliance
- Increase customer confidence
- Compete for higher-value contracts
For many renewable businesses, MCS accreditation directly impacts growth, reputation, and revenue.
How MCS Certification Benefits Your Renewable Business
1. Access to Funded Work
MCS is required to participate in many funded energy efficiency schemes in the UK. Without certification, installers cannot legally deliver certain funded projects.
2. Increased Credibility
Being MCS certified shows customers and commercial partners that your business operates to recognised industry standards.
3. Improved Processes and Compliance
Achieving MCS accreditation requires implementing a structured Quality Management System (QMS). This improves internal processes, documentation control, and overall business efficiency.
4. Competitive Advantage
More principal contractors and developers now require MCS certification as part of their supply chain criteria.
