Guide to the Installation of Photovoltaic Systems

The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is an industry led certification scheme for microgeneration products and installation services. Supported by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC), MCS seeks to build consumer confidence and support the development of robust industry standards. It provides confidence in the marketplace and wholly supports government policy within the microgeneration sector. With support from industry and key stakeholders, MCS has established a number of installation standards and scheme documents for a range of microgeneration technologies. These standards and documents have helped to shape the microgeneration sector, and ensure best practice for the installation and quality of these renewable technology systems. MCS is pleased to have worked to develop this new guide for the installation of solar photovoltaic systems. We would like to thank the members of the MCS solar photovoltaic technical working group for their time and effort in the significant updates to this new solar photovoltaic installation guide.
