A scheme that certifies microgeneration products and installers to reassure consumers, is helping the renewable industry, according to one firm.
Heat pump installer ICS, which became the 200th supplier to be approved under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) praised the system.
Gary Broadbent, managing director of ICS, said: "It is clear that the MCS is moving the renewable energy industry forward and we are pleased to have achieved accreditation in a relatively short space of time."
The scheme is owned by the Department for Energy and Climate Change, though it was developed by BRE Global and is administered by Gemserv.
It certifies small scale renewable energy installers and products, providing protection for consumers and ensures that grant money from government, such as under the Low Carbon Buildings Programme, is spent effectively.
Starting next year, small scale renewable generation installations, whether in homes or businesses, could sell surplus electricity to the grid for more than they buy it.
