F.E. Group catering for MCS in Uk
—F.E. Group applying for Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS)

Fire Energy hopes to be one of the European PV module suppliers to be approved by the NICEIC as an accredited Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) for solar photovoltaic installations.

The Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) designed the MCS to create criteria that installers and/or product manufacturers can follow to install environmental technologies. This should in turn provide a better service for consumers and ensure that the grant money available is spent in the most efficient way.

A two year pilot of MCS recently ended and the MCS has been opened up to other UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accredited bodies.

The MCS has been designed to provide registered Environmental Technology installation companies and renewable energy products access to Government grants for the Installation of Environmental Technologies.

Working with Shunda Global, the leading photovoltaic manufacturer, Fire Energy Group has been at the forefront of electrical solar photovoltaic installations across the Europe completing works for schools, hospitals, commercial and high-end domestic applications into grid fed PV array systems.

With the announcement last month of the 2010 Feed-in Tariff energy cash-back scheme, the future for renewable solar photovoltaic energy in the UK looks encouraging and having the MCS accreditation will only enhance Fire Energy's position within this sector.
