Updating the industry
As you may be aware, one of our main priorities at MCS is to ensure that the technical standards are still relevant for each technology. Since the scheme’s launch, there have been major updates to solar PV technologies for both products and installers. It was concluded that the current associated PV Installer Guide required extensive updating to reflect current products and installation techniques. In light of this, the MCS Solar PV Working Group has undertaken a major project to comprehensively update the DTI Guide for PV Installations, and to ensure the MIS 3002 Solar PV Installer Standard is aligned with the measures introduced in this document. Some of the requirements in the existing version of the standard will be included in the new Guide.
