DragsterDriver Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I’m not feeding into the grid so fitted the solar with the electrician. Ready to sign the house off and the epc guy now wants an MCS certificate to do the ‘as built’ epc? any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragsterDriver Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thanks! this is his most recent wording: ”With regards to the solar PV, I usually need an MCS certificate regardless of whether it is connected to the grid or not. I am not allowed to accept just an email of how much solar there is. If an MCS is not available then I need an installation certificate form the electrician or installer which contains details of the panels, the site address and kilowatts power etc. It is not my decision, I have to submit this information in order to be able to lodge an EPC and this is the minimum evidence they will accept. ” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 My spark did up a single page safety test certificate. NCICS template I think. Standard stuff. Has all the details on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADLIan Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Your assessor needs to read the SAP conventions. Section A2.12 here (depending which version of the conventions this number may be different but this evidence requirement has been valid for many years) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMo Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 To have a grid connected system you have to completed G98 install certificate. If you don't you need to do it. Then you just use that. Simple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
