Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS)
Go Green with ELECSA!
Already known for its electrical Part P self-certification scheme, ELECSA have now launched their Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) scheme.
What is the MCS?
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and Mark are owned by the government. It is designed to evaluate products and installers against robust criteria in order to provide greater protection for consumers and ensure that the government grant money is spent in an effective manner (i.e. consumers only have access to the Governements Low Carbon Building Programme grants if they use an installer who is MCS certified).
The scheme is open to any firms involved in the supply, design, installation, set to work and commissioning of microgeneration technologies, including the following:
Cogeneration technologies
• Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
• Fuel Cells
Electricity generation technologies
• Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
• Wind Turbines
• Micro Hydro
Heat generation technologies
• Solar Heating
• Heat Pumps (Ground, Air or Water Source)
• Biomass Heating
If you currently supply, design and install such Microgeneration systems then you may want to consider joining the ELECSA Microgeneration Certification Scheme. The scheme is supported by the Department of Energy and Climate Change and is designed to certify microgeneration products and installers in accordance with consistent standards.
