handyman (5)

Octopus Energy is a member of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). This means that the renewable energy products we install meet the relevant MCS standards and requirements.


You can find details of officially approved renewable energy products in the MCS Product Directory.


What technologies does MCS cover?


MCS covers a range of renewable energy technologies, including:


  • Solar PV: Solar panels, inverters and approved mounting systems.

  • Heat Pumps: Air source, ground source and water source heat pumps.

  • Battery Storage: Systems designed to store energy generated by renewable technologies.


Why does MCS approval matter?


MCS certification ensures eligible products meet the relevant technical and quality requirements.


It can also be important when applying for certain government schemes and incentives. For example, MCS certification is a requirement for installations eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).


Product quality and testing

MCS-approved products must meet the relevant requirements for their technology. Depending on the product, this can include:


  • Quality and manufacturing controls to ensure products are consistently produced to the required standard.

  • Independent testing and assessment against defined technical requirements.

  • Ongoing checks and audits to help maintain the required standards.
