Move over MCS, a new certification scheme is here. And it has a ridiculous name

Looks like they'll cover PV and ASHP and other generation tech.

Already recognised by several PV export SEG tariffs, and presumably by the new ASHP install grant too.

 

I can't see any mention of enabling DIY installations, but at least membership is free (with proviso installers need qualifications and insurance) so possibly will help encourage a bit more competition in installation costs. Dunno how it compares for manufacturers.

Edit: I say "new" but their blog goes back to 2018 so perhaps only new to me. https://www.solarpanelprices.co.uk/articles/solar-panels/best-smart-export-guarantee-tariffs/ just started including them in the SEG requirements table

Is this for real.

Can't see anything on Companies House about them.

There is a David Lindsay Electrical Service, same name as the MD.
