[QUOTE="Joules, post: 546371, member: 35656"] The backdrop to all of this is that legislation is in place for net zero by 2050. So MCS needs to change to accommodate this. They admit the market has changed. Fifteen years ago government introduced FIT but installs were out of reach for most people. Venture capitalists stepped in to provide free installs which gave rise to a number of leasing companies. These companies embraced a long term return on their outlay so it was in their interests to ensure that installs were of high quality. Government Created MCS to ensure that FIT payments went hand-in-hand with high quality installs but they also added an impenetrable layer of bureaucracy to slow take up down. This suited DNO as large scale take up of FIT would have potentially damaged their distribution network. There are a lots of self-employed electricians who install lots of solar under MCS supervision, they have the know how but the establishment does not recognize their ability to install in their own right even though they have NICEIC accreditation. Something is very wrong and as you infer it will prove detrimental in meeting net zero targets. [/QUOTE]
