Solar photovoltaics
Quality controls and project records for solar PV installation work.
MCS certification
Quality management systems and practical support to help renewable energy installers achieve and maintain MCS certification
Why do I need MCS certification
MCS certification allows your business to demonstrate that it operates a robust and controlled installation process, giving customers reassurance that their investment is compliant and comes with appropriate consumer protection.
Domestic renewable installations that export power to the grid, or are delivered through certain Government and energy-company schemes, may require MCS certification before the relevant tariff or funding can be accessed.
My Green Business provides a complete organisational support service for MCS certification, underpinned by an established MCS Quality Management System.
Renewable technologies covered by MCS
The My Green Business MCS Quality Management System can support the renewable energy technologies specified within MCS, subject to confirming your intended certification scope.
Battery storage
Management-system processes supporting electrical energy-storage installations.
Solar thermal
Controlled installation procedures and supporting evidence for solar thermal systems.
Heat pumps
Ground-source and air-source heat-pump installation processes.
Biomass and micro CHP
Quality-management support for biomass boilers and micro combined heat and power.
Small wind turbines
Processes and evidence supporting micro and small-wind installations.
One integrated QMS platform
Having a compliant QMS in place is critical to achieving MCS certification. It brings together the policies, procedures, competence records, project documentation and corrective-action controls required to demonstrate consistent delivery.
For organisations wishing to adopt a PAS 2035 whole-house retrofit approach, PAS 2030 certification may also be desirable. The My Green Business Quality Management System is integrated, meaning that PAS 2030 and MCS can be combined within one platform rather than managed through separate systems.
Our long-standing experience with certification bodies means the system is designed around the evidence auditors expect to see, while the My Green Business team provides practical support through preparation and ongoing surveillance.

How My Green Business supports the certification journey
Confirm your technology scope
Clarify the technologies, organisational competence and work you intend to include within the certification application.
Implement the MCS QMS
Configure the policies, procedures, responsibilities and work tools around your organisation and intended scope.
Prepare evidence and example work
Gather business records, competence evidence and compliant project documentation for the certification assessment.
Prepare for external audit
Review the management system and project evidence, address gaps and support the organisation through its independent assessment.
Maintain certification
Keep project records, people, documents and corrective actions current for ongoing surveillance and changes in scope.
Independent certification: My Green Business helps implement the QMS, evidence and working practices. Certification itself is awarded by your selected UKAS-accredited certification body.
