When a home owner is thinking of taking up eco friendly technology in the form of Solar Energy Panels, they might well want to know how they can tell the difference between the many enterprises offering Solar Energy Panels installations. There is at present a qualification path called the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), which is an industry approved qualification for Solar Energy Panels installers and is approved by the Department of Energy & Climate Change. The MCS qualification gives the home owner rights under the Office of Fair Trading, in case they have a problem about their Solar Energy Panels system. This should give the home owner some confidence when seekimg out a suitable company to carry out their eco friendly adventure, but the best method for seeking out a suitable company is by recommendation from someone the home owner knows and has had similar work carried out by the company previously.
A possible guide to finding a MCS certified Solar Energy Panels engineer is in their Solar Energy Prices, where the going rate for a normal domestic Solar Energy Panels fixing is about £12,000. Any Solar Energy Prices noticeably higher or lower that this might well be from rogue traders, who might not only do a poor job fitting the Solar Energy Panels but might also inflate the Solar Energy Prices as the job progresses.
The MCS organisation web site has the functionality to search for a local Solar Energy Panels engineer, so this might be one place for the home owner to start, and ideally they can find a suitable MCS certified Solar Energy Panels engineer in their area, who quotes them fair Solar Energy Prices and maybe can show them some local Solar Energy Panels installations they have already finished. In this way those home users who don’t know anybody who has already had Solar Energy Panels fixed can gain some confidence by going down this route and so they should spend their Solar Energy Prices wisely and end up with a Solar Energy Panels system that really does save them about 40% on their electricity bills per year. They should also be given payments for each kW of electricity created and also a further payment if they transfer unused electricity to the national grid.
