[QUOTE="Joules, post: 546365, member: 35656"] The question is, can a sole trader electrician afford to enter the scheme given the high up front cost? Two things that MCS do: first is obtain DNO approval for the install and secondly provide evidence to solar panel insurance underwriters that the OEM's panels were installed correctly. This can provide in some cases a 40 year guarantee. How will the changes affect this? Consumers will have no problem in buying a new 20k-30k car with a three year warranty that can be extended to five. Yet for a far lower panels cost underwriters require MCS as the only competent means of ensuring good installation practice; no mention of this at all. The changes to MCS are to be more technically focused which begs the question will BS7671 be the basis of this focus. They reckon that come July it will take 6 months to implement before the old scheme is withdrawn. [/QUOTE]
