Export Power for Credit: MCS Certified Experts Across Scotland
Choose an MCS certified installer to unlock the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) and export your surplus for credit, subject to SEG rates; high standards of quality, safety and performance.
Why Accreditation Matters
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is the recognised mark of quality for renewable energy technologies. By choosing an MCS certified installer like Viking Electrical Contractors, you can be confident that your system is installed to recognised industry standards and is eligible for financial incentives.
Benefits of MCS Certification
Don't risk your investment with uncertified installers. Here is why MCS matters.
Unlock the Smart Export Guarantee
SEG suppliers require MCS (or equivalent) certification — our MCS certified installations mean you can apply to export surplus electricity for credit, subject to your export tariff and rates, which can change.
Quality Assurance
MCS certification proves your system has been designed and installed to recognised industry standards, supporting safety, performance, and durability.
Consumer Protection
Choosing an MCS certified installer gives you access to strict consumer protection codes and dispute resolution services, giving you total peace of mind.
Future Proofing
Ensure your system is compliant with current regulations and eligible for future upgrades or battery storage additions.
