Why MCS Certification Matters
MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) is the industry standard for renewable energy installations. Only MCS-certified installers can register your system for the Smart Export Guarantee, which pays you for surplus energy. Without MCS, you lose access to all government incentives.
What About a Regular Electrician?
A standard electrician can legally do some electrical work, but solar installation requires specialist skills: roof mounting, DC wiring, inverter configuration, and DNO notification. Using an uncertified installer also voids most panel and inverter warranties.
What to Look For
Choose an installer who is MCS certified, RECC registered (for consumer protection), uses in-house teams (no subcontractors), and has verifiable local reviews. Greentech Renewables ticks all these boxes with 2000+ installations and a 4.9★ Trustpilot rating.
