Octopus Energy Unplugs MCS Certification for Solar Panel Installations

Octopus Energy has sent shockwaves through the UK renewables industry. The company has announced that it will accept solar installations onto its Smart Export Guarantee tariffs without MCS accreditation. This represents a significant development for electricians and homeowners, as they can now sell their excess energy back to the grid at a very competitive rate. To shed more light on this topic, we turned to Griff Thomas, one of Britain's leading renewables experts. Griff explains what the MCS scheme is and how it applies to solar installations. He delves into the scheme's origins and how it was initially set up by the government to underpin early grants and funding for renewable technologies. He also explains how it became a quality requirement for government incentive schemes such as the Renewable Heat Incentive, the FIT legislation, and the Smart Export Guarantee. Griff then discusses the latest development in the industry, which is the announcement made by Octopus Energy. He describes this as one of the most significant shifts he has seen in his 20-plus years in and around the industry and the legislation. The decision by Octopus Energy opens up the market to a broader range of good electrical contractors who can now carry out these installations without going through the MCS process. =================================================== More renewables content: The Dark Side of Solar -eFIXX TV with Griff Thomas - https://www.youtube.com/live/_1vHVUAM...
